WASHINGTON. Dec. 3.-The foil owing is
the full text Of the presidents message
read to congress to-day:
To TIE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENT
ATIyEs OF TIE UNITED STATEs:-It is pro-
vided by the constitution that the p es;-
dent shall, from time to time, give con-
gress informa alton of the state Of the Union
and recommend to their consideration such
measures as he shall Judge necessary aud
expedient. In reviewing the events of the
year which has elapsed since the COM
mencement of your sessions, I frs call
your attention to the gratifying condition
of our foreign affairs. Our Intercourse
with other powers has continued to be of
the most friendly character, such slight
differences as have arisen during
the year have teen already sttled, or are
likely to reach an early adjustment. Tho
Ireland under recent laws which owe their
origin to the disturbed condition of that
country, has led to somewhat extended
correspondence with the government of
Great Britain. and a disposition to respect
our rights has been practically manifested
by the release of the arrested parties.
CO EoEElCN EElA-IoEs.
The claim of the nation in regard to the
supervision and control of any inter
oceanic canal across the American isthmus
has continued to be the subject of confer
ence. 1t is likely that time will be more
powerful than discussion in removing the
divergence between the two nations where
friendship is SO closely cemented by the
intimacy of their relations and the COM
rlunity of their interests.
Oar long established friendliness with
Russia has remained unbroAen. It has
prom pied me- to prefer the earnest coun-
sci of this government that measures be
adopted for SURPRISING the prescription
which lhe Hebrew race in that country has
lately suffered. 1t has not trans pirs that
any American citizen has been subjected
to Or IN AIRY, but our courteous re-
mons tance nas nevertheless been
cour5eously received. There is relief IL
the belief that the time is not far di,tan;
when Russia Will be able to secure toiera-
ton to all faiths within her borders.
