Reading a liiessaue in the house

and the last one pioved no exeep

pietion of the reading of the mes
sage it wan referred to a commit
tec, who n ceived it tnd ordered it

A resolution nqiKS'ing the
speaker, in appointing the com
mittees, to apportion the Fame
among the several states and ter
ritories, ac ending to population
and to appoint at least a chairman
from each state and territory, was
prefentcd and ordered leterred to
the committee on rules, when ap
pointed.
Tie house then adj urned tin ti
Sa'urdav, w ith the undi rstandiii:
that further adjournment be taken
until ennesday.
The message is a leng'h- d'-.cu
nicnt, and i;; full will occuiiv i
iIjzpii coliiinns of aa ordinary
newf-pap.'r.
It opens by inviting the atten
tion an I sciiitiiiv ot congress to
the wins t.i the Stat ilopai tmelit
sa ing : "Dui'ing the Us' ear it hi
been characterized by an unusu
ally larye number of important lie-
got atious, and by diplomatic re
sults ot a notaldy and oighl v tiene-
ticial character. Among theee
are : Ji. ciproc it trade arrang
nients, which have been conclud
ed in th-.3 exercise of the powers
conferred bv section :l id the tarifT
law, with the republic of Brazil,
with Spain for its West Indian
possessions, ami Willi ban l'o-
miugo. Like negotiations wi'.h
other countries have been much
advanced, and it is hoped that be
fore the close of the year further
letim e trade arrangements o.
irreat vilue will be conclucd."
i oiicerning the lieiiring sea
trouble it says that teriiH sati-Tac
tory to this govei nment have been
iigived upon, and that the agn e-
ment as (o the arbitrators is all
that is necesrary to the c uiiple-
tinii ol the convention.
The Chilian aH'.-.ir in licit. -.1 a'
fullv, about which the president
savs : 1 lie trcauueut ot our min
ster for a time was such as to cal
for a decided protest, an 1 it was
very grat ifv ing to observe that the
ii'ilrieiidly measures, which were
undoul'tedl ' the result of the prc-
vai'mg excit.'ineiit. were at once
i-'Si-inded or smlahly relaxed,
ot her foreign ic!aliOH are fully
tiiMled.
The beneficial eflV-rts of the new
laritl' law is releireii to, also the
silver leg's. ati-m ol ine last con
gress.
The pn sid nt iicvncales bi
iiietalisin, and says "(Jive existing
laws a trial," and adds: "I am
still of the opinion that the free
coinage of silver, under the exist
ing conditions, would disastrously
ail'ect our business interests at
home and abroad."
The policy of applying the sur
pliii to the redemption of the interest-bearing
securities of the
1'nited States is thought to be
preferable to that of depositing it
without interest in selected na
tional banks- The result of this
policv ol the silver legislation and
of refunding the 4 'J percent bonds
has been a large increase of the
money in circulation.
The exclusion of Chinese, and
the enforcement of the anti-Chinese
law is urged.
The Michigan plan of selecting
presidential electors is condemned.
The plan of allotting lands to
Indians is approved, aud.the re
ducing of the larger reservations
bv restoring to the public domains
many million acres of land is re
ferred to with gratification.
The working of the general land
office, the pension bureau, the
agricultural and postal depart
ments, were each reviewed at
length, the result being very sat
isfactorv. The dec'ino of polygamy is
noted, and the president does not
believe in experimenting with this
(picstion, but repressing it en
tirely. lie recommends that provisions
be made for the organization of a
simple form of town government
in Alaska.
Concerning the Chinese troubles
the president says :
The late outbreak against for
eigners in various parts of the
Chinese empire has been a cause
of deep concern. In view of the
numerous establishments of our
citizens in the interior of that
country, ihis government can do
no less than insist upon a coctinu
ance of the protective and punitory
measures, which Uu Chinese gov
ernment has heietofore applied.
No effort will be oiuitted to pro
tect our cftizens pe leeably svjoii ru
ing in China, but recent unolllcial
information indicates that what
was at liidt regarded as an ou'-b.-eak
of mob violence a:ainst I'o:
eijneis, has assumed the form of
an insurrection against public
order.
The Chinese government h is de
clined to receive .Mr. I'.lair as the
minister of the United Mates, on
the ground tiiat i'.s a participant,
as a Eena'or, in (he eiiactuiei.t ol
existing legislation acaii st the in
troduction, of Chinese laborers . he
has become unfriendly andobjec
tionabie to China. "l have felt
consliaine I to point out to the
Chines.! govei nine'it the untsii
abltness of this jo-iition. ,
Ihe fact is lelened to that this
government has found oi cai:ii to
express m a frier:d!y sj it it, but
wiih much enrneMiiess, to the
government of the czar. i'SFeii
ous concern because of the hari-h
measures now being enforced
against the Hebrews i f Russia bv
the reviv-d of atdi Semitic laws,
long in abeyance. Great numbers
of these unfortunate people ha-'e
been constrained to abandon their
homes and leave the empire by
reason of the impossibility to lii.d
subsistence within the rale to
which it is said to confine them
I lie emigration ol these people to
the Dinted fSUtes, many other
countries being closed, is largely
increasing, ai.d is likely to luriaer
increase, to proportions w li'ch may
mak it ditiieuit to find homes
and employment fr those people

over one million vwll he forced
iroiu Russia within a few years.
This consideration, as well as the
suggestions of hninar.ity, furnishes
ample ground fot the remon-
tranccs, whicu we have iresented
to Russia, w hi'eour bis oric li iend
ehip for that government cannot
but give the fc-siiraucc the rcpre-
entations ate tnose ot a well
v is-her.
The president speaks hotefiilly
of the ellbrt to place our n.ivy on
ai equahtv with other niitions.
and recommends the completion
and control of the Nicaragua
anal by the government.
J he coriection of frauds aguin-t
-uilrage is urged, and the inessauc
closes with the following appeal:
aiy appeal is and must continue
to be for a coiieuii4tion tint shall

these giave ouestions invte no

that of all citizens. We must not

people have cea-ed to regatd a free
