The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1881-12-10


now in the hands of the state Department, be
returned to the Governments OF those coun-
tries.
The King Of Hawaii, in the course Of his
homeward return utter journey around the
world, has lately visited this country. While
our relations with that kingdom are friendly,
this Government has viewed with concern the
efforts TO seek replcnishment of the dimin-
ished population OF the Island from outward
sources to degree which may impair native
sovereignty and independence, in which the
United states was among the first to testify
lively interest.
Relations of unmpaired amitv have been
maintained throughout the year with the re-
sp ictive Governments OF Austria, Hungary,
Belgium, Denmark HayH Paraguay and
Uruguay, Porting Il an sweden and Norway.
| Ihis may also be laid of Greece aud Ecuador,
although our relations with those states have
Tor some years been severed by the with
draWal OF appropriations for diplomatic rep
rpSentatiyes at Athens aid Quito. 1t seems
cNpplicnt to restore those missions, even on
a reduced scale; and decidedly recommend
such a course with respect to Ecuador, which
is likely within the near future 10 play an inn
portant part among the nations OF the south
eIu Pacific.
At its last extra session the Senate called for
the text of the Geneva Convention for the re
lief OF the wounded in war. ] trust this action
iorc-hadows such interest in the subject rs
will result in the adhesion of the United states
to that humane and commeudable engage
mcnt.
| invite your attention TO the propriety of
adopting the new Code of International Rules
Tor the prevention of collisions on the high
/
ton OF the United states thereto, so that no
confusion may arise from the application of
conflicting rules i'm the case of vessels of diff
tereut ndtiOnajitics meeting in tidal waters.
These international rules differ but slightly
from our own. They have been adopted by
the Navy Department for the gOvernancc of
the war ships of the United states on tho high
seas ana IN foreign waters, and through the
action of the State Department in dissent
mating the rules and in ucIuuintng the ship
masters with tine option OF conforming to
them without the jurIsdiCtiOual waters of the
| United states, they are now very generally
known and Obeyed.
COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL.
| The state Department still continues to
| publish to the country the trade and manu-
/ featuring reports received from United States
officers abroad. The success of this course
| warrants its continuance and such Hppropri-
| alton rs may be required to meet the rapidly
/ increasing demand for these publications.
! With SPECIAL reference to the Atlanta Cotton
! Exposition, the October number OF the re.
! ports was devoted to a valuable collection of
| papers ON tho cotton goods trade OF the
world.
SANITARY.
The International Sanitary Conference for
which in 1879 Con gresS made provision, as
| sembled in this city early in January last, and
/ the sessions were prolonged until March. Al
! though it reached no specific con fusion AT
! fec ing the futurc action of participant pow
! crs, the interchange of views proved to be
! most valuable. The full protocols of the seS-
| sions have been already presented to the
! Senate.
