RELATIONS WITH CHINA.


The massacre of the French and
Russian residents at Tein- Tsin, un-
der circumstances Of great barbari-
ty, were supposed to have been pre-
meditated, and to indicate a pur.
poses among the populace to exter-
inmate foreigners. The evidence
| fails to establish such a supposi-
ton, but shows a completely by the
local authorities. The Govern
ment at Pekin, however, seems to
have been disposed to fulfill its
treaty obligations so far as it was
able to do so, Unfortunately the
news of war between the German
States and France reached China
soon after the massacre. 1t would
appear that the popular mind be-
came possessed with the idea that
this contest would extend to the
| Chinese waters, and would neutral
ize Christian influence and power,
and that the time was coming when
the sup rstitious mass might eXpel
all foreigners and restore manda-
rim influence
Expecting trouble from this
cause, / requested France and
North Germany to make an author
lied suspension Of hostilities in
the east, where they we've tempora-
rily suspended, by act of the com
manders, and to act together for
the future protection in China of
the lives and property Of Ameri-
cans and Europeans. .a
GREAT BRITAIN.
Since the adjournment of Con-
gress ratiflcations Of the treaty
with Great Britain for abolshing
the mixed courts for the suppression
of the slave trade have been eX-
changed. 1t is believed that the
slave trade is now confined to the
eastern part of Africa, from where
the slaves are taken to Arabian
markets. '
Ratifcati6ns Of the naturaliza-
ton treaty between Great Britain
and the United States have also
been exchanged during the recess,

and that the line, when run on
WHAT'S now supposed TO be the
true position Of that parallel, would
leave the fort of the Hudson Bay
Company at Pembna within the
territory Of the United States. This
information being communicated
to the British Government, ! was
requested to consent, and did con
sent, that the British occupation Of
the fort Of the Hudson Bay Compa-
ny should continue for the present.
deem it important, however, that
| this part Of the boundary line
should be definitely fixed by a Joint
commission Of the Governments,
and submit herewith estimates Of
! the expenses Of such a commission
on the part Of the United States,
and recommend that an appropria-
tion for that purpose be made. The
land boundary is already fixed, and
marked from the summit of the
Rocky Mountains to the Georgian
Bay. 1t should now be in like
manner marked from tile Lake of
the Woods to the summit of the
Rocky Mountains.
ALABAMA CLAIMS.
Iregret to say that no conclu-
sion has been reached for the ad-
Ijustment Of claims against Great
Britain growing out of the course
adopted by that Government dur
ing the rebellion, the CABINET of
London, so far as its views have
been expressed, does not appear to
be willing to concede that her Ma
jesty's Government was guilty Of
negligence, or did permit any
thing during the war, by which the
/ United States had just cause Of
complaint My firm and unaltera-
bic convictions are unchanged, and
I therefore recommend to Congre> S
to authorize the appointment of a
commission to take proof of the
amounts ard ownership of these
claimo, on notice to the representa-
tives of her Majesty at Washing
ton; and that authority be given
for the settlement of the claims by
the United States. so that the Gov
eminent will possess the owner
ship Of the private claims, as well
as the responsibility of all the de-
mands against Great Britain.
1t cannot be necessary to add
that whenever her Majesty S Gov
ernment shall entertain a desire for
full and friendly adjustment Of
these claims, the United States will
enterupon their consideration. With
an earnest desire for a conclusion
consistent with the honor and dig
nifty Of both.

day life at cheaper rates than ever
before and it is, in fine a rapid
stride towards that greatness which
the intelligence, industry and en-
terprise of thecitizens Of the Unit,
ed States entities this country to
assume among nations.
In view Of the Importance ofthis
question, / earnestly urge upon
Congress an early expression ofits
views as to the best means Of ac-
quiring San Domingo. My sug-
gestion is that by joint resolution
Of the two Houses Of Congress,
the Executive be authorized to APP
point a commission to negotiate
for a treaty with the authorities Of
San Domingo, for the acquisition
ofthat Island, and that an appropri-
alton be made to defray the expense
OF such commission. The ques-
ton may then be determined by the
action of the two Houses of Con
gress upon a resolution Of annexa-
ton, as in the case of Texas.
SO convinced am ! of the advan-
tages to follow from the acquisi.
ton Of San Domingo, and of the
great disadvantages-I might al
most say calamities-to flow from
non acquisition, that / believe the
subject has only to be investigated,
to be approved.
OUR RELATIONS WITH MEXICO.
1t is to be regretted that our rep
reservations in regard to the inju-
nous effects, especially upon the
revenues Of the United States, Of
the policy of the Mexican Govern
ment in eXempting from import du-
ties large tract of its territories
on our borders, have not only been
but that it is cvenproro ed
in that country to extend the limits
within which the privilege adverted
to has hitherto been enjoyed.
The expedeincy Of directing your
serious consideration to the proper
means for countervailing the policy
referred to, will, it is presumed, en-
gage your earnest attention.

THE FISHERY QUESTION.

The course pursued by the Ca
madam authorities towards the fish
ermen of the United States during
the past season has not been mark
ed by friendly feeling. BY the
first article of the convention of
1918, between Great Britain and
the United States, it was agreed
that the Inhabitants of tile United
States should have forever, in com
mon with British subjects, the right
of taking fish in certain waters
therein defined. In the waters not
included in the limits by the Con
vention, within three miles of ports
of the British coast, it has been the
custom for many years to give to
trading fishermen of the United
States reasonable warning of their
violation Of the technical rights Of
Great Britain, The Imperial Gov
ernmert is understood to have del
egated the whole, or a share of its
Jurisdiction or control of these in
shore fishing grounds to the colo
NAL authority known as the ''Do-
minion Of Canada" and this semi
independent but irresponsible
agent has exercised its delegated
powers in an unfriendly way
Vessels have been seized without
notice or warning, in violation OF
he custom previously prevailing
tand have been taken into the Co.
lonial ports, their voyages broken
up and the vessels condemned. =
There is reason to believe that this
untriendly and veXatious treatment
was designed to bea1 harshly upon
the hardy fisherman Of the United
States, with a view to political eff
feet upon this Government The
statutes oil the Dominion of Cana
da assume still broader and more
untenable Jurisdiction over the YES
sells of the United States. They
authorize the officers or other per-
sons to bring vessels lowering
within three marine miles of any of
the coasts, bays, creeks or hmbors
of Canada into port, to search the
cargo and examine the master on
oath, touching the cargo and voy-
age, and to enfict vpon him heavy
pecuniary penalty if true answers
are not given, and if such a vessel
is found preparing to fish within
three marine miles of any such
coasts, bOys, creeks or harbors,
without license, or after the eX-
piration of the period named in the
throughout its whole extent, was
made free for tho subjects of both
crowns. In 1858 the Argentine
! Confederation, by treaty, threw
open the free navigation Of the Par
ana and the Uruguay rivers to the
merchant vessels of the nations
In I856the Crimean war was closed
by treaty which provided for the
free navigation Of the river Danube
In 1858 Bolivia by treaty, decla-
ed that it regarded the rivers ANA
zOn and La Plata, in accordance
with fixed principles of national
law highways or channels opened
by nature for the commerce Of
