Navy War, and Office Departments are briefly al
uded to- but the figures have been published already
Regarding foreign affairs, the President says
Mexico is relieved from foreign interpostlon, and
that peace reigns in Central and South America The
United States were creditably represented at the
Paris Exposition and at General Conference OF all
nations there universal system of gold coinage was
agreed on. OF the Alabama claims the President
speaks as follows: :" No arrangement has been
reached for the settlement of our claims for
of the United States. have felt it my duty TO de-
cline the proposition of arbitration made by Her
Majesty's Government, because it has hitherto been
accompanied by reservations and limitations incom
patible with the rights honor and interests Of our
country. 1t is not to he apprehended that Great
Britain will persist in her refusal to satisfy these
just and reasonable claims, which involves
the sacred principle of nOn-nteTventiOn, a
principle hencefOrth not more important
to the United States than to all other commercial
nations" The President says that treaty has been
concluded with the King of Denmark for the cesson
of the islands of st. Thomas and st. Johns to the
United States The President asks pay for Alaska
of Congress.
The President concludes as follows: The abuse OF
our laws 10y the candestine prosecution of the Ait
can slave trade from American ports or by American
citizens, has altogether ceased, and under existing
circumstances no apprehensiOns of its renewal IN
this part of the world entertained Under these
circumstances il becomes question whether we snail
not propose to Her Majesty's Government suspen-
sion discontnuance of the stpulatiOns for main
tanning a naval force for the suppression of that
trade. ANDREW JOHNSON.

RoTHsoHILD AND WATERLOO.

Rothsehild' greatest achievement mover
reaching distance and his fellow SPECTATORS
was in 1915. He was near the Chateau de
Houg0umont on the 18th of june watch
ing, as eagerly as the leaders, Bonaparte and
Wellington themselves the progress of the
battle of Waterloo. All day long he follow
cd the fighting with strained eyes, knowing
that on its issue depended his welfare as
well as Europe's. Atsunset he saw that the
victory was with Wellington and the Allies.
Then, without a moments delay, he noun
ted horse that had been kept in readiness
for him, and hurried homeWards. Every
where on his road fresh horses or carriages
were in waiting to help him over the
ground
Riding or driving all night he reached
Ostend at daybreak, to find the sea so stor-
my that the boatmen refused to trust them
selves to it. At last he prevailed upon a
fisherman to make the venture for a reward
Of ESQ. In that way he managed to reach
Dover. At Dover, and at the intermediate
| stages on the road to London, other horses
were IN waiting, and he was in London be-
fore midnight. Next morning, the morning
OF the 10th OF June, he was one of the first
to enter the stock exchange. In gloomy
whisper he told those who, as usual, crowd
Gd 4Ouhu ultu lUf neWSs tHdI DlucHeF ana MS
Prussians had been routed by Napoleon be-
fore Wellington had been able to reach the
field that by himself he could not possibly
succeed, and, therefore, the cause of Eng
land and her allies was lost.
The funds fell, as they were meant to fall
Every one was anxious to sell, and Roths-
child and his accredited agents scofed at all
who brought them scrip for purchase. But
scores Of unknown agents were at work all
that day and all the next. Before the stock
exchange closed in the afternoon of the sec
ond day, when Nathan Rothschild's strong
boxes were full Of paper, he announced, an
hour or so before the news came through
other channels, the real issue of the contest
had been during many previous weeks and
Rothschild found that be had made some
thing like million pounds by his quick tray
cling and clever misrepresentation Other
millions ware collected, rather more slowly,
