ANNh''AN hHishi hp4Scs
Our relations with other nations
continue to be on friendly footing.
With the Argentine Republic, Aus
tria, Belgium. BAIL, Denmark, Hay
ii. Italy, S1nto Domingo and Sw, den
and Norway no incident has occurred
which calls tor special comment. The
recent opening of new lines of tele-
or, phlc communication with Central
Amer Ca ard Br Iii permitted the in
terchange OF messages of friendship
with the governments Of these coun-
tries. During the year there have been
perfected and prOclaimf consular and
commercial treaties VIII S9rvia and
a consular treaty with II Jumania, thus
extending our intercourse with the
Danubian countries, while our Eastern
relations have been placed upon a wid-
er base by treaties with Corea aid
Madagascar.
Tne new boundary survey treaties
with Mexico, trademark convention
ard supplementary treaty OF extra
ditlon with Spain, and a convention
extending duration of the Franco
American Gains Commission, have
also been proclaimed.
THE FISHERIES INDUSTRY.
Notice OF the confirmation of the
fiSherieS articles of the Treaty of
Washington was duly given TO the Bril-
tlsh government. L @ privileges and
exemptions of the British government
and the reciprocal pr vleges and ex-
emptiOns OF the treaty will accordingly
close on July /, 1885. The fisheries in
duStry, pursued by numerous Class of
our cit zenS on the northern coasts,
both of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans,
are worthy or the fostering care of
congress. Whenever brought into
competition with like industries Of,
as our manufacturers Of fishing APP,
planes and preparers OF fish products,
have maintained foremost place. |
suggest that congress create commits
sion to consider the question of our
rights in the fisheries and the means
of opening to our citiz ms, under just
and enduring conditions, the richly
stocked fishing waters and sealing
grounds of British North America.
PAUPER IMMIGRATION.
The question has arisen touching
deportation to the United States from
| the British islands by governmental
or municipal aid, of persons unable
| there TO gain living, and equally a
burden Oh the community here. Such
| OF these persons as will under the pau
per class, as defined by the law, have
been sent back, in accordance with the
provisions OF our statutes, H'r Majes-
ty's government has insisted that pre-
| cautions have been taken before ship
ment. This has, however, in so many
cases, proved Intellectual, and espe-
| cially so in certain recent instances Of
needy immigrants reaching our terri
| tory through Canada, that revision
of our legislation upon this subject
may be deemed advisable.
| CLAYTON BULwERTREATY.
| Correspondence relative to the Clay
ton Bulwer Treaty has been con-
tinued, and will be laid before con-
greSs.
| THE AMERICAN HOG IN EUROPE.
The legislation OF France against the
| importation of prepared swine produc-
| ed rom the United States has been
repealed. Tat result has been due no
less to the friendly presentations of
this government than to growing con-
viction in France that the restriction
| is not demanded by any real danger to
| health.
Germany still prohibits the intro
duction of all swine products from
America. | extended to the Imperi-
al government friendly invitation to
send experts to the United States, to
s,,. hot hnr hA nf
ducts was dangerous to health. This
invitation was declined. | have be-
lieved it of such Importance, however,
that the exact facts should be ascer-
tanned and promulgated, that | have
appointed a competent commission to
make a thorough investigation of the
subject. lis members have shown
their public spirit by accepting their
trust without pled ge Of compensation,
but trust That congress Will see in
the national and international bear
ings OF the matter a sufficient motive
of providing at least Tor reimburse
ment of such expenses as they may
necessarily incur. The
CORONATION OF THE GEAR,
at Moscow, afforded to this govern
ment an occasion for testifying its
continued friendship by seniing
| special envoy and representative OF
| the navy to attend the ceremony.
| While Their have arisen during the
year no grave question affecting the
status in the Rus sian empire o! A ner-
| lean citizens, or other faith than that
| held by the national church, this gov
eminent remains firm I'M its convictions
that the rights of its citzHns abroad
should be in no way affected by their
religious belief.
| OUR RELATIONS WITH CUBA.
1t is understood that measures for
the removal of the restrictions which
now burden our trade with Cuba and
Porto Rico are under consideration by
the Spanish government. The proXim-
ity of Cuba, and the peculiar method Of
administration which there prevail, me-
cessitate constant discussion and appeal
on our part from the proceedings of the
insuar authorities. | regret to say
that the just protests of this govern
ment have not, as yet, produced salts
factory results. The Commissioner
appointed to decide certain claims Of
our citizens against the Spanish gov
ernment, of a satisfactory rule as to the
| validity and force of naturalization in
the United States, has finally adjourned.
Some of its awards, though made more
than two years ago, have not yet been
paid. The specie payment is expected.
| Claims to a large amount, which were
held by the late commission to be with
