 SALT LAKE, Dec. G.-The Presidents
 message iH relation to Utah cases a sur prise among the anti-mormOns who an ! ticipated otherwise, as # was iutimated here before the Utah Commissioners left for the East that they had recom- l mended further legislation in their re- 1 port. They were Is favor of repeal of | female suffrage law and the enactment ! of marriage law and several other ] amendments to the Mormon law giving | the commission increased powers. The | Mormons are pleased with the message ! and say God has interpOsed iu their be- | half The heads of the church have just returned from a trip through to South | ern Utah where they have been preach ing polygamy and urging their dupes 10 take more wives.
 SAN FRASCIsCo. Dec. 4.-The Presi- dents message refers to correspondence regarding the Irish arrests and subse- a.N .r United States. The President counsel ed Russia to suppress Jewish persecution which was cOurteOusly received. Treat les are now being formulated to protect trade marks, patents, etc. The minister at Paris was requested to attend, as a delegate a convention sitting at Paris for the improvement Ot the cable communi- cation. lie suggests that the executive be empowered to send delegates to any international conferences on matters of the common interest of civilization with provision to defray expenses. Spain in terpOses many technical obstacles to American commerce. The question Is under consideration, but no relief has vet been obtained from Spain regarding the remOnstrances. He suggests that Congress consider an appropriation for representation at the German ludust- rial exposition. Germany has stopped emigration to the United States of pau pers and criminals. The attention Of Congress was called to a revision of the laws pertaining to immigration of con- victs, paupers etc. China and Japan indemnity matters should be settled the coming session. He calls the attention Of Congress to fie question of the transit of Chinamen through the country en route to other countries. He thinks tine restriction IS limited Co Chinese 1 coming here as labOrers, and should not l forbid the transit. He suggests the 1 early consideration of the Hawaiian l reciprocity treaty. Some of the prOyi- l sions are perhaps ouerOus, but the gem 1 eral effect favorable Co commercial rela- l tious. Regarding lawlessness on the 1 Mexican border, relief had been sought | by convention with Mexico, now await l ing the action of the Senate, also the ! question of the boundary line. Requests | for the United States to be represented | at the Venezuelan celebration of the | birth of Bolivar. and industrial exposi- ! tiOn fOrOr against Venezuela, was not yet 1 settled. Regarding the ChIh-Peruvian 1 difficulty, the suggestion of this Gov l ernment that ChII accept money Indem- ] uity ID lieu Of territory Was nOt re- | celved. The enforcement of the sug gestion was contrary to the temper of our l people and the spiri; of our institution, | as armed intervention would almost in- ! evitably lead us to the establishment of | a prOtcctorate. Congress having taken | no action at the last session on the sub ] ject of a peace conference between | North and South American States, for | which invitations were previously sent | ont from the State Department, the | President concluded to postpone the | proposed convention, and so notified the | Governments. After general remarks | regarding diplomatic matters, the Pres | ideut recommends legislation to insure l harmony and international rules | for the prevention of collisions | at sea and the establishment Of | a common meridian and longitude. | Favors the abOlishment of fees for | diplomatic and consular service and | payment Of fixed salaries. The report | of the Secretary Of the Treasury shows | a surplus revenue of SliJ,5f3,000 which | with S20, ,73I,00O drawn from the cash | balance in the treasury has been ap- | piled to the redemption of bonds, the | sinking fund and other obligations. | The excess ofexports over imports of merchandise for the year IS S25,9OJO1), ! which is less than for the previous SIX years. Two thousand two hundred and sixty-nine national banks are now in existence. Their circulation on July lst was S324, ,GJG,45S. He comments ths Secretary's views in respect to the circulation. The President reiterates the views expressed ID his last message regarding the coinage of silver and the issue of silver certificates which are now emphasized by the result Cf the issue of gold certificates. lie heartily approved the Secretary's commeuda- tions for immediate and extensive re- duction of revenues. The present rapid extinction of the debt was not a cause for congratulation, but rather for serious apprehension. Either the sur pins must lie idle in the treasury or the government be forced to buy at market rates bonds not yet redeemable winch will in consequence command enormous premium, or surplus be devoted to ex- travagant expenditure.
 The President further suggests, if the expenses of the government for the coming year have not been under estimated, that all the tax on distilled spirits may safely be abrogated and by simplifying the machinery of collection diminish the eos, of collection of g 500.000.
