4 FEELING TRIBUTE
To the Senate and House Of Representatives
of the United States: An appalling calamity
has befallen the American people since there
chosen representatives last met in the halls
where You are now assembled We might else
recall with unallayed content the prosperity
with which throughout the year the nation has
been blessed. Its harvests have been plenteous,
its varied industries have thriven, the health
of its people has been preserved. It has
maintained with foreign governments the IN
disturbed relations of peace, For these
manifestations of his favor We owe
him who holds our destiny in his hands the
tribute of our grateful devotion. To that
mysterious exercise of will which has taken
from US the loved and illustrious citizen who
was but lately the head of the nation, we bow
in sorrow and subm ission. The memory of
his exalted character, Of his noble achieve
ments and Of his patriotic life will be treasured
forever as sacred possession Of the whole
pie The announcement Of his death drew
from foreign governments and peoples tributes
Of sympathy and sorrow which history will re-
cord as signal tokens Of the friendship Of ma
lions and the federation of mankind.

FOREIGN RELATIONS,
MAINLY pEArEEJIT,


The feeling of good will between our own
government and that OF Great Britain was
never more marked than at present In recog-
4ition of this pleasing fact, I directed, on the
occasion of the late centennial celebration at
Yorktown, that salute be given the British
flag. Aside from the correspondence, to which
shall refer hereafter, In relation to the pro-
posed canal across the isshmus of Panama,
little has occurred worthy of mention in the
diplomatic relations of the country: Early in the
year the Fortune bay claims were satisfactor-
lily settled by the British government paying
in the full the sum of FL 3, 900, most of which
has already been distributed As the terms of
settlement included compensation for injuries
suffered by our fishermen at Ashell bay, there
has been retained from the gross award q sum
which is deemed adequate for these claims.
The participation of Americans in the exhibit
tons at Melbourne and Sydney will be approx
ingly mentioned in the reports of the two ex-
hibitions soon to be presented to congress-
They will disclose the readiness Of our country
to make successful competition IN distant fields
of enterprise. Negotiations for an information
al copyright convention are in hopeful prog
ress The surrender of Sitting Bull and
his force upon the Canadian frontier
has allayed all apprehension, although bodies
of British Indians still cross the border in
quest of sustenanee. Upon this subject cor
respondence has been opened, which promises
an adequate understanding. Our troops have
orders to avoid. ussnwhile, all collisions with
these Indiana fAs presence at Yorktown of
representatives q The republic Of France,
defendants a lafayette and his gallant COM
patriots, who veoe en- allies in the revolution,
has served to strengthen the spirit of good will
which has always existed between the two ma
