In common with other Western Powers
our relations with Japan have been brought
in serious jeopardy through the perverse
opposition of the hereditary sristoerscy oI
the Empire to the enlightened and liberal
policy of the Tycoon, designed to bring the
country into the society of nations. 1t is
to be hopsd, although not with entire con,
hdence, that these difficulties may be peace
fully overcome. Task your attention. to the
Minister residing ther. for the ismages lie

residence of the legstion at Yedio.
Satisfactory arrangements have been made
with the Emperor Of Russia, which it is be-
l'evsd will result in ettec!ing continuous

The consular systems of the United
States, ulder The euactments of the last
Congress, begin to be self sustaining and
thers is reason to hope that it may become
entirely 80, with the Increase of trade which
will ensue whenever pesce is restored.
Our Ministers abroad have been faithful
in defending American rights. In protec-
ting our commercial interests, our Consuls
have necessarily had to encounter increased
Iabors and responsibilities growing out of
the war. These they have far the most
part met snd discharged with zeal aud
efficiency. This knowlsdgment justly
includes those Consuls who, residing in
M"rocco, Egypt China, aad other central
countries, are charged with complications
and extraordinary powers.
The condition Of the several organized
Territories is generally satisfactory, although
the Indian Gisturoances in New Mexico
have not been entirely suppressed The

years befors the insurrectton occurred.
There is still a great deficiency Of laborers
in every field of industry, especially in
agriculture and in our miners, as well of
iron and coal as of precious metals. While
the demand for laoer is thus increased here,
tens of thousands of persons, destitute of
remuusfative occupation, are throngiug our
foreign consulstes and offering to emigrate
to the United Ststss if essential, but very
cheap, assistance can be afforded them. 1t
is easy to see that under the sharp dis,
cpIins Of civil war, the nation is beginning
a new life. This noble effort demands the
aid, and ought to receive the attention and
support, of the Government.
Injuries unforeseen by the Government
and unattended, may in some cases have
been inflicted upon the subjects or citizen,
OF foreign countries, both at nee and on
lsud, by persons in the service of the UNI
ted States. AS this Government expects
redress from other Powers, where similar
injuries are inflicted by persons in their
servics upon citizens of the United Ststes

egners. II the existing Judicial tribunals
are inadequate to this purpose, a special
Court may be authorised, with power to
hear and decide such claims of the charsc.

adjusting claims by your commission have
been proposed to some Governments, hut
