In Til message yesterday, Presi dent Taft. Is addition to reviewing tha world history tr the rear, la which tha United State flcured, ree erumended tha following legislation: Enactment ot a law providing (or tha fuIHIlmest of obligation as sumed by tb I'nlted Statea In con nection with tha settlement of tha fur eeaJ controversy; tha pasaaga of a law to forbid tha carnage of oplnm aad other, "bablt-fonnlng drugs' la Interstata commerce; tha formation of a central organlxatloa in la nature of a National chamber of commerce, that would keep all such organisation In touch with commer eta: developments abroad, and tha enactment Into law of executive reg ulations providing for advancement In tha diplomatic and consular eerv Ica upon a merit basla Instead of through political preferment.

It la Intimated that a apeclal mes sage, elaborating bla views of the treaty with Russia aad tba queatlon of passports for American Jewa will be sent to Congress by tha lrcaldent about Christmas. WASHINGTON. lec. 7. President Tart today tent to Congress a message dealing with the foreign relations of tlie I nlted States. - II say that tb ear Just passed ha been noteworthy for a general movement of the power for broader arbitration, lie mention the settlement of the AUop claim saalnat Chile and to the part the United states played In facilitating settlement of dispute which menaced the peace between Panama and Costa Rica and between Haytl and the Dominican Re public . The Insurrection In Mexico and the ensuing mobilisation of United States troops along the border are reviewed, and the President make public the text of hi letter of Instruction to the chief of staff, of which he aald: It seems my- duty as Cemmander-ln-Chlef to place troops In sufficient number where. If Congress shall direct that they enter Mexico to save American live and prop erty, an effective movement may be prompt ly made. Meantime, tha movement of tha troopa te Texas and elsewhere near tha boundary, accompanied with sincere assur ances of the utmost good-will toward the present Mexican government and with larger and mar frequent patrola along tha border to prevent Insurrectionary expedl tlona f.Kvn American soil, will hold up tha hands of tha existing government and will have a healthy moral effect to prevent at tache upon Americana and their property In any aubsacjuent general Internecine etrtfe. A sain, the sodden mobilisation of a division of troopa haa beea a great teat of our Army and full of useful Instruction, while the maneuvers that are thus made poaslble can occupy the troopa and their officer to great advantage. - laterveatloa Never Contemplated, ' The assumption by the press that I eon template Intervention oa Mexican soil to protect American live or property Is of course gratuitous, because I seriously donbt whether I have such authority under any circumstances, and If I bad I would not exercise it without express congressional ap proval. Indeed, as you know, I have al ready declined, without Mexican consent. ro order a troop of cavalry to protect the breakwater we are constructing Just across tha border In Mexico at tha mouth of the Colorado River to aave the Imperial aney. although the Insurrectoe had scattered tha Mexican troops and were taking our horse and supplies and frightening our workmen away. My determined purpose, however, is to be la a position so that when danger to American Uvea and property In Mexico threatens and tha exlatlng government la Tendered helolesa by tba Insurrection. I can promptly execute Congressional order to protect them, witn en ecu The President reviews the Incident at Douglas. Axis., in which Americans were killed and wounded fey bullets fired by belligerents across the boun dary line, and tells 01 ma unwilling ness, even under great provocation, to order an Invasion, and how It was urged upon the people of Douglas that they place themselves temporarily put of the gone of fire, rather than Incur the necessity for such action as might have been followed by serious results to a greater number of Americans liv lng In Mexico. lie, continues: The policy and action of this Government were oasea upon an earnest xnenaiinesa ior tha Mexican people aa a whole, and it Is a matter of gratification to note that this attitude of strict Impartiality as to all fac tions in Mexico and of alncer friendship tor tha neighboring nation, without regard for party allegiance, haa been generally rec ognised and ha resulted In an even closer and mora sympathetic understanding be tween the two republic and a warmer re gard one for the other. Action to auppreea violence and restore tranquillity throughout tha Mexican republlo waa of peculiar In terest to thla Government. In that It con cerned the safeguarding of American life and property In that country. Neutrality te Be Preserved. Of tha present situation In Mexico the message says: Since the inauguration of President sfa- dero a plot haa bean unearthed against tha preaent government, to begin a new Insur rection, Pursuing tha same consistent pol icy which this Administration has adopted from tha beginning. It directed an Investi gation Into the conspiracy charged, and thla Investlsatlon haa resulted In tha Indictment of General Bernardo Reyea and -otliera and tha aelsura of a number of officers and men and hones and accoutrementa assembled upon the eoti of Texas for the purpose of Invading Mexico. Ettmliar proceedings nan been taken during tha Insurrection agalnat tha Dlaa eovemment resulting In the In dictment and prosecution of persons found to be engaged In violating tna neutrality lawa of the United Statea la aid of that uprising. Tha record of thla Government In respect of the recognition of constituted authority ta Mexico therefore Is clear. - The message urge the completion of convention between the United State and the Republic of Honduras and of Nicaragua, and adds: "In con sidering the ratification of the conven tions with Nicaragua and Honduras, there rests with tb United State the heavy . responsibility of the fact that their rejection here might destroy the nroirtii made and consign the repub lics concerned to still deeper submer gence In bankruptcy, revolution and national Jeopardy." Chiaewe Laa Isaportnnt. Tha section of ths message dealing with the Far Hast haa to do chiefly with the conclusion of the two Inter national Chinese loans one for the construction of the Hukuang railways and the other for the carrying out of the currency reform to which China was pledged by treaty. The Presl- ( dent views this as of Immense benefit to China and to foreign Interests alike. The message continues: While safeguarding the Interests of our nationals, thla Government Is using its best efforte In continuance of Its traditional pol icy of sympathy and friendship toward the Chinese empire and It- people, with the confident hope for their economie and ad ministrative development, and with tha con atant disposition to contribute to their wel fare In all proper ways consistent with an attitude of strict Impartiality . aa between contending factions. Of commerce with the Near East, the message says: In spite of the attendant economic un certainties and detriments to commerce, the United States hss gained markedly in ita commercial atandlng with certain of the natlcna of the Near East. Turkey, es pecially, la beginning to coma Into closer relations with ths United Statea through the new Interest of American manufacturer and exporters In the possibilities of those regions, and It Is hoped that foundations are being laid for a large and mutually beneQlclal exchange of commodities between the two countries. This new Interest of Turkey in American goods la Indicated by tha fact that a party of prominent mer chants from a large city In Turkey recently visited the United States to study condi tion of manufacture and export here, and to get into personal touch with American merchants, with a view to co-operating mora Intelligently In opening up the markets of Turkey and the adjacent countriea to our manufacturers. Russia la Negotiating. The President thus deals with the subject of the treaty with Russia: By direction of the State Department our Ambassador to Russia haa recently been having a series of conference with the Min ister of Foreign Affairs of Russia with a view to securing a clearer understanding and construction of the treaty of 1832 be tween Russia and the I'nlted 8tates, and the modification of any Russian regulations which may be found to Interfere In any way with tha full recognition of tha rlghta of American cltlsena under thla treaty. I believe that the government of Russia Is addressing itself seriously to the need ' of changing the preaent practice under the treaty and that sufficient progress haa beea made to warrant tha continuance nf theee conferencee In the hope that soon there may be removed any Justification of the com plaints of treaty violation now prevalent In thla country. I expect that Immediately be fore Christmas recess I shall ha able to make further communication to Congress on this subject. "The fur-seal controversy." says the message, "which for nearly 25 years has been the source of serious friction between the United States and the powers bordering upon the North Pa cific Ocean, whose subjects have been permitted to engage In pelagic sealing against the fur-seal herds having their breeding grounds within the Juris diction of the United States, lias at last been satisfactorily adjusted by the conclusion of the North Pacific sealing convention entered Into between the United States, Oreat Britain, Japan and Russia on July 7 last. This con vention Is a conservation measure of very great Importance, and if it Is car ried out In the spirit of reciprocal con cession and advantage upon which It Is based, there Is every reason to be lieve that not only will it result In pre serving the fur-seal herds of the North Paclflo Ocean .and restoring them to their former value for the purposes of commerce, but also that it will afford a permanently satisfactory settlement of a question the only other solution of which seemed to be the total de struction of the fur seals. In another aspect, also, thla convention Is of Im portance, In that It. furnishes an Illus tration of the feasibility of securing a general International game law for tire protection of otner mammals of the ses, the preservation or which is or im portance to all the nations of the world." PHalanaaa Tariff Needs Amendment. Of the application of the minimum provisions of the tariff law, the Presi dent says: Durlne- the seat year some instances of discriminatory treatment have been re moved, but J regret to aay that there remain a few cases of differential treatment ad verse to the commerce of the United States. While none of these Instancea now appears to amount to undue discrimination In the sens of .Section 2 of the tariff law of August 0. 1100, they are all exceptions to that complete degree of equality of tariff treatment that the department or stats haa consistently sought to obtain for Ameri can commerce abroad. While tha double tariff feature of the tariff law of 1B09 haa been amply Justified by tha results achieved In removing former and preventing new, undue discriminations against American commerce, it is believed that the time haa come for the amendment of this feature of the law In such way as to provide a graduated means of meeting varying degreea of discriminatory treatment of, American commerce In foreign countriea aa well aa to protect the financial Interests abroad of American cltlsena against arbi trary and lnjuiioua treatment on the part of foreign govemmenta through either legis lative or admlnlatratlva measures. It would also seem desirable that the maximum tariff of tba United Statea should embrace within Ita purview the free list, which Is not the case at tha preaent time. In order that tt might have reasonable sig nificance to the governments of those coun tries from which the Importations Into the United States are confined virtually to ar ticles on thefree Hat. The President recommends legisla tion to build up 'a merchant marine and to facilitate the extension of American banks to foreign countries. The partial application of Civil Ser vice rules to the diplomatic and consu lar service having proved successful, the message recommends that they be extended by the passage, of suitable legislation. 113 BEERS ABSORB JURY Complainant Drinks 53, Defendant 60 and Issues Are Obscured. SEATTLE, "Wash., Dec. 7. (Special.) Sixty beers absorbed by the defendant and 63 by the prosecuting witness ob scured the Issues in the trial of the case of the stattt against H. S. Matson yesterday.

Tomasco Schzerarnkfetskl taxed the clerical force of Justice of the Peace Taylor's office today, when he was tried for stealing a Brussels carpet from Bert Anderson, president of the Big Pines Lumber Company. No one could pronounce his name and no one could spell It, until the de fendant, by the aid of an Interpreter. had the perplexing cognomen tran scribed. Tomasco has been collecting garbage in the city, and recently took advantage of his position by removing a valuable carpet from the Anderson clothes line. The defendant declared he bought it for $1 and sold It for 5. After struggling with the mixture of vowels and consonants. Justice Taylor decided to enter the man on the rec ords as John Doe, and fined him $25 and costs. Tomasco went to Jail. Harbors Delegation Named. VANCOUVER. Wash, Deo, 6. (Spe cial.) J.
