Two daring London aeronauts ascended five mllee above the earth In a balloon and nearly froien to death. The tempera ture at that height was 51 degrees below sero. The men went In the Interest of science, and while the actual benefit of their trip to humanity at large was con siderable. It will not begin to equal the great good accomplished by the medical scientist who gave the world Hostetters Stomach Bitters. Nothing to equal this remedy has ever been discovered for ail ments of the stomach, liver, bowls and kidneys. The Bitters are the best rem. edy for indigestion, blllouenese, coated tongue, bad breath, sleeplessness and nervousness. They strengthen the brain, the body, the nerves. They brace op the despondent and cheer the invalid. I I K"kb!DtNT'S MESSAGE. (Ctistinued from Ttiird rags.) prevUtua mrl. tKe In the mll.Ury aer- ke. J,irt uimtvurd prmiatk KIU.KU AND WOC N UNO.

PRAISE FOR THE ARMY. It Is nttln that I should beer teetlmony to the patriotism and devotion of that large portion of our army which, al though eager to be ordered t the poet of greater expoeure, fortunately was uot required outside of the 1'nlted Suite. They did their who's duty, ami, like their romraj.t at the front, have earned the gratitude of the nation. In like man. ner the officers and men of the artny and tf rh navy who remain! In the r de partments and stations of the navy per forming most Important duties i-oiuicrtej with the war. and whose minwii for as. slgnment In the field and at . It eras compelled to refuse. beviuii their ser vicee were Indtapenalble here, ere en titled to the highest commendation. It le my regot that there moil to be no provision fr their suitable recognition. THE RED CRiVSS. In this connection It Is s pleasure fr me to mention in tcrmi of cordial ap probation the tlmelr end useful work of the Amerkan National Red Cross, both In relief measures pretu-atory to the campaigos. In sanitary assistance at several of the camps of assetnblnge. and later, under the able experience lead ership of the president of the society. Miss Clara Barton, on the fields of battle and in the hoepitals at the front In Cuba. Working In conjunction with the govern- tnent authorities and under their sane- tloa end approval and with the enthusl. estlc co-operation of many patriotie wo men and societies In th various states tho Red Cross has fully maintained its already high reputation for Intenee earn est neas and ability to exerclao the noble purposes of Its organisation, thus justi fying the confidence sail support wblctt It baa received at the hand of the American people. To the meenbera and officers of thla society and all who aided them In their philanthrope work the sincere and lasting gratitude of the sol diers and the pubtla la due anal la freely accorded. In tracing these events we are constant ly reminded of our obligations to the Divine Master for His watchful care over us and Hla safe guidance, for which the nation makes reverent acknowledgement and often humble prayer fur the continu ance of His favor. OVERTURES FOR PEACE. The annihilation of Admiral Cervera'a fleet. followeU by the cupltukulon of San tiago, having brought to tha Spunish gov ernment a realising sense of the hopelma. nesa of continuing the struKgle now be coming wholly unequal. It made overtures of peace through the French ambassa dor, who. with the assent of bis govern ment, had acted as the friendly repre. sentatlve of Spain's interests during the war. On July X M. Cambon presented a communication, signed by tha Duke nf Altnodovar, the 8panlsh minister of state. Inviting the United States to state the terms upon which It would be wlllllng to make peace. On July 3d, by a communica tion addressed to the Duke of Almodo- var, and banded by M. Cambon, the terms of this government were announced sub stantially in the protocol afterwards signed. On August 10 the Spanish reply dated August 7 was handed by M. Cam bon to the secretary of state. It accepted unconditionally the terms Imposed as to Cuba, Porto Rico, and an island of the Ladrone group, but appeared to seek to introduce inadmissible reservation In re gard to our demand as to the Phlippinee. Conceiving that discussion on this point could neither be practicable nor profitable I directed that, tn order to avoid mis understanding, the matter should be forthwith closed by nropoatng the em bodiment In a formal protocol of the terms in which the negotiations for peace were undertaken. The vague and explicit suggestions of the Spanish note could not be accepted, the only reply being to pre sent as a virtual ultimatum a draft of the protocol, embodying the precise terms tendered to Spain tn our note of July JO, with added stipulations of detail as to the appointment of commissioners to arrange for the evacuation of the Spanish Antilles. On August 12 M. Cambon an nounced bis receipt of full powers to sign the protocol as submitted. Accord ingly, on -the afternoon of August 12 M. Cambon, ss the plenipotentiary of Spain, and the secretary of state, aa the plenipotentiary of the United Statbs, signed the protocol (Here the president sets forth the terms of the protocol, already published In the Astorian. Immediately upon the conclusion of the protocol, I Issued a proclamation of Au gust 12, suspending hostilities on the part of the United Statee. On August 18, tho muster out of 100,000 volunteers, or as near thut number as was found to be practlcibli;, was ordered. On Decfrmln-r 1, lOl.Guu officers and men had been must ered out and dlsrharv'.-d from the service, 9,602 more will be mustered out by the 10th of the month; also a corresponding number of generals and general staff of ficers have been honoraWy discharged from the service. GOVERNMENT OF POSSESSIONS. I do not discuss at this time the govern ment or the future of the new posses, slons wtilch will come to us as the result of the war with Spain. Such discussion will be appropriate after the treaty of peace Bhall bo ratified. In the meantime, and until congress has legislated other wise, it will be my duty to continue the military government which ha existed since our occupation and give Its people security in life and property and en couragement under a Just end beneficial rile. As soon as we are In possession of Cuba, and have pacified the Island, It will be necessary to give aid and direction to this people to form a government for themselves. This should be undertaken at the earliest moment consistent with safety and assured success. It is im portant that our relations wHh these peo ple be of the most friendly character and our mtnmvrvlal relations does and resin roewt. It irtioold ba our duty lo slt In every prop way to build up the waste places of the lelnnil, encourage the Indus try of the people, and assist thorn 10 form a government which thai) be free and Independent, thus realtime the beat aspirations of the Cuban people, Hpantsh rule must be replnced by a Just, benevolent and humane government, Tre ated by the people of Cuba, cpti! of performing all Internal lottal ohlliiaiiiina, and which shall eneournge thrift, In dustry and prosperity atul promote pence snd good will aiming all of the luhabl. lant whatever may have teen the r relations Iu the past.

INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITIONS. Despite the brief time allotted for pre paration, the exhibits uf this country at the universal exposition at llrusseit In Isf? enjoyed the singular d.slinctlun of a lari.tr proportion of awards, having re gard to ! number anil elnre of ar ticles entered, than those of other coun tries. The worth vt rl,,, ,n "h- lug known our nations tapii- to sup ply the world s m irki ts is Vbvlous. Exhibitions of tills tiiternaiN'' cn"' acter are becoming more frequent as the rxchaniiea of commercial countries mors Intimate and vailed. Hardly a year passrt that thla government is not Invited to national imrtlcltMilon at some Important foreign center, but often on tH short not ce to permit of rvcvur to ivngTrsa for the power and means to do so, My predecessors have sungescd the advisability ef providing by general en. a.-tment a standing appropriation for ac cepting such Invitations, nn.l for rjire senuilon of this country ty a commis sion. This plan has ruy cord al approval. THE N1CARAQUAN CANAL. The Nk-araguan canl commission, under the championship f Hear Admiral John G. Walker, appointed July :i. under th authority of a provxton In l..t sundry service act of June 4 of that year. ha nearly completed Its labors, and the results of Its exhaustive Inquiry Into the proper route, the feasibility and the cpst of construction of an Inler-ocsanlc canal by a Nkeraguan route will be laid be fore you. In the performance of its work the commission received ail poaslble courtesy and assistance from the govern ments of Nicaragus and Costa Rica, which Ihua testified their appreciation of the importance of giving a speedy and practical outcome to Che project that baa for so many years engrossed tha at tention of the respective countries. j As the scope of recent inquiry embraced the whole subject with th aim of tnak. Ing plan and surreys for a canal by ths most convenient route. It necessarily in cludes a review of the results of previous surveys and plana, and tn particular tboseadoptedhy ths Vtagttlms Canal Com pany under Its existing concessions front Nicaragua and Costa Aics, to that to this extent these grants necessarily held an essential oart In the deliberations and conclusions of the canal commission as they bsve held and mutt needs bold In the discussion of the matter by congress. Under these clreumstaces, and In view of overturea made to the governments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica by other parties for a new canal concession pre dieted on the assumed approaching l.ipae of (he contracts of ths Maritime Cnn.il tympany with those states. I have rwt hesitated to express my convictions that considerations of expediency and Inter national policy, aa between the several governments Interested In the construc tion and control of an Inter-oceanic canal by this route, require the maintenance of the status quo, until the canal com mission shall have reported and the United States congress shall have had the opportunity to pass finally upon the whole matter during the present session without prejudice by reason of any change In the existing conditions. THE PARIS EXPOSITION. There Is mw every prospect that thj participation of the United 8tates In the universal exposition to be held In Paris in ISesl will be a scale commensurate with the advanced position held by our products and Industries in the world's chief marts. FOREIGN COMMERCE. The commercial arrangements triads with France on May 2S, lttt, under the provisions of section t of the tariff act of Utf, went Into effect on JUne 1 following. It has relieved a portion of our export trade from serious embarrassment. Fur ther negotiations are now pending under section 1 of the same act, with a view to the Increase of trade between the two countries to their mutual advantage. Negotiations with other governments. In part Interrupted by the war with Spain, are In progress under both sections of the tariff act. Negotiations to the same end with Ger many have been set on foot I transmitted to the senste on Febru ary 10 last information touching ths pro hibition sgalnst the importation of fresh fruits from this country, which had been recently decreed by Germany on the ground of danger of disseminating the San Jose scale Insect. Later the pro hibition was extended to dried fruits of every kind, but was relaxed so as to apply to unpeeled fruit and fruit waste. As was to be expected, the alarm reached to other countries, and Switzerland has adopted a similar Inhibition. Efforts are In progress to induce German and Swiss governments to relax the prohibition In favor of dried fruits shown to havo been cured under circumstances rendering the existence of animal life !mpoatlh!e. ENGLAND'S FRIENDHIIIP. Our relations with Great Britain have continued on the most friendly footing. Asnntlng to our request, the protection of Americans and their Interests In Span ish JiirlHdlctlon was assured by the dip lomatic and consular representatives of Great Britain who fulfilled their delicate and arduous trust with tact and 7eal, ellclthig high commendation. I may be allowed to make fitting allusion to the Instance of Mr. Ramsden, her majesty's consul at Santiago de Cuba, whoso un timely death, after distinguished service and untiring efforts during the siege of that city, was sincerely lamented. In the early part of April last, pur suant to a request mado at the Instance of the secretary of state to the Brit ish ambassador at this capital, the Can adian government granted facilities for the passage for1' United (Mates revenue cutters from the lakes to the Atlantic coast by way of the Canadian canal and the St. Lawrence river. The vessels had reached Lake Ontario and were there awaiting the opening of navigation when war was declared between the United States and Spain.
