our FOREIGN RELATIONS.
In re, .ew.ng the even of the year which has
elapsed since the commencement al the preSen.
session, feel gratifed in calling your attention &c
the condition Of our foreign affairs. Our in =
:crcourse with other powers has continued TO
be Of the most friendly character
Such slight differences az have arisen during
The year. have been already settled or likely to
each an early adjustment. The lest Of
citzens Of the United States in Ireland, under the
recent laws which owed their origin to the dis
tlrbed condition of that country, has led 70
somewhat extended correspondence with the gov
eminent Of Great Britain, and disposition tc
respect our rights has been practically manifest
ed by the release of the arrested pr"ties.
THE IsTHMUs CANAL
The claim of tho nation in regard to the tu-
pervsion and control Of any inter oceanic canal
across the American isthmus has continued to be
will be more powerful than discussion in remov-
ing the divergence between the two nations
whose friendship is so closely connected by the
intimacy Of their relations and community of
their interest.
Our long established frcndliness with Russia
has remained unbroken. IL has prompted me
to prefer the earnest counsel Of This government
that measures be adopted for suppressng the
prescription which the Hebrew race in that
country has lately suffered. 1t has not tran
spred that any American citizen has been sub
iected to injury, and our. cou teou3 onstranee
has nevertheless been cOurteOusly received.
There IL in tho belief that the time is not
tar distant when Russia will be able TO
liberation Of MI faiths within her border.

in 1885, md attended by representatives Of the
United States, an agreement was reached in re-
Spect to the protection Of trade marks on patent
ed articles and rights of manufacturing firms, and
tho corporation Of scientists in the adoption of o
common meter to measure electric force.
In view of the frequent occurrence of confer
cnces for the consideration If Important matters
Of common interest TO civi lied nations | re-
specially sIggest that the executive be invested
by congress with discretionary power to send
delegates TO src conventions, and that pro-
vision be made to dctray expenses incident thereto

The results which have thus far attended the
enforcement Of the recent statute for the suppress
son OF polygamy in the territories, are rSported
by the secretary of the Interior. 1t is not prob
able that any additional legislation nj this regard
will be deemed desired until the effect of existing
laws can be more closely observed and studied. l
congratulate you that the commissioners under
whose supervision those laws have been put into
operation, are encouraged . believe the evil at
which they are aimed may be suppressed without
reso,s such radical measures as in some quart
H. have been thought indiSp :nsible for success.
The close citation Of he general government to
,errtoiic preparing 10 be great states, may well
engage your special attention. 1t is there IN
dian Disturbances mainly occur, and that polyga-
ny has found rooIn for grown. l cannot doubt
VAT 4 careful suvey Of territorial legislation
would be Of the highest utility; that thereby life

more securely governed, AMI better progress be
made on the instruction Of the young.

LIBERIA.


This government has recently had occasion to
manifest interest in the republic of Liberia by
seeking TO aid the Rnllcable settlement OF tho
boundary dispute now passing between that
public and the British POSSESSION Of Sierro Leon
HAWAII.
The reciprocity treaty with Hawaii will be-
come terminated after September y, 1883 on two
months notice by either party. While certain
provisions Of that compact may have proved
only 0nerous, its existence has fostered COM
nercial relations which it is important to pre-
serve. l suggest, therefore, that carly considera-
tiou be given to such modification of the treaty
as SNem to be demanded by the interests OF our
people.
HAyTI AND SAN DOMINGO.
In view Of our increasing trade with both Hay
Ii and San Domingo, l advise that provision be
made for diplomatic intercourse with the latter
by enlargug the scope of the mi ssion at Port su
Prince. regret that a certain class of Amefi-
sen citizens arrayed against the government Of
Hayti, have thus far been urged unayailingly to
desist.

The report of the commissioner of agriculture
presents an account Of the labors of that depart
ment during the past year and includes informa-
ton of much interest to the general public. The
condition of the forests of the country and the
wasteful manner in which their destruction is
taking place, gives cause for serious
apprehension. Their action in pro-
tecting the earth's surface in modifying
the extremes of climate and regulating and sus-
tanning the flow of springs and streams is not
well understood and their importance in relation
to the growth and prosperity of the country can
not be safely disregarded. They are fast disap
pearng before destructive fires and the legitimate
requirements Of our increasing population and
their total extinction cannot be long delayed un-
less better methods than now prevail shall be
adopted for their protection and cultivation. The
attention of congress is called to the necessity
of additional legislation to preserve valuable
forests still remaining on the
public domain, especially in the extreme western
states and territories, where the necessity for
their preservation is greater tkan in less monn-
famous regions, and where the prevailing dry
ness Of the climate renders restoration, if they
are oncs destroyed, well nigh impossible.

CIVIL SERVICE Reform.

The communication which 1 made to congress

Great Britain, but which lacked Ger tain promi-

The killing of Jessie James.

st. Louis, April 4.-Ihe Ford brothers,
ono OF whom killed Jessie james yester-
day, reside on a farm two miles from
Richmond, the county seat of Ray coun-
ty, this state. Robert. who did the shoot
ing, is only about twenty years old.
Their house is said to have been rem
devious of some of the James gang, and
1T was there that James Little killed
Wood Hite, brother of Clarence Hite,who
was recently sentenced to twenty-five
years IN the penitentiary, and is now in
prison. 1t is said that both at one time
belonged to the James gang, but this
statement does not seem to be verified.
The family came here from Virginia
niteen years ago, and has
always been considered very respectable.
For some time past both brothers are be.
lived to have been in the detective ser.
vice, and specially engaged IN hunting
ont members OF the James gang. Theil
aunt, Mrs. Bolt, is supposed to be the
lady who recently had secret interview
with Governor Crittenden, at Jefferson
city. Gov. Crittenden. at the request OF
the police authorities, ordered out some
OF the st. Joseph militia last night tc
guard the body OF the dead outlaw, as
there seemed to be danger that there
would be an attempt made to capture it
Heaas alfo ordered out parts Of two com
panies at Kansas City, to serve as guards
at that place.

Tho mob was well organized and had
their coats turned inside out. After
leaving the grove, they marched to
blacksmith shop and gotsledge hammers,
crow bars, &c. Efforts were made by w.
f. Vail, Rev. M. Mcclure and others. to
prevent the mob from taking the law in
their own hands. but they were greeted
with shouts OF derision from tho mob
and the crowd that had gathered. 1t
was evident that nothing but large mil
itary force could have prevented the
hanging. The culprit's last wish was,
chang me decent" and it was DONE.
