THE MESSAGE.
Reports From the Cabinet
Officers.
The Question of MormOnism
Discussed.
American Meat---PleurU Pneu-
monia---0ther Matters.

Lack of space prevents the publlca-
tion Of the PRESIDENTS message in full,
but We give its salient points as briefly
as possible.
A question mas arisen touching the
deputation of the United States from
the British Islands by governmental or
municipal aid Of persons unable there
to gain a living and equally a burden
here. Such OF these persons as will
come under the pauper class as defined
by the law, have been sent back In ac-
cordance with the provisions of our
statutes.
Her majesty's government has in
sisted that precautions have been taken
before each shipment. This has, how
ever, in so many cases proven inef-
f%ectual, and especially SO in certain
recent instances of needy emigrants
reaching our territory through Canada,
that a revision of our legislation on
this subject may be deemed advisable.
The legislation of France against
the importation of prepared swine pro-
duce from the United States, has been
repealed. That result has been due no
less to the friendly representations of
this government, than to a growing
conviction In France that the restric-
ton is not demanded by any real dan
ger to health.
Germany still prohibits the introduce
ton of swine products from America.
[ extended to the imperial government
a friendly invitation to send experts to
the United States to inquire whether
the use of these products was danger
Gus to health. This Invitation was de-
clined.
Ihave believed 1t of such Importance,
however, that the exact facts should
be ascertalned and promulgated, that 1
have appointed a competent commits
sion to make a thorough investigation
of the subject.
At no time in our national history
has there been a more manifest need of
close and lasting relations with a
neighboring state, than now exists with
respect to Mexico.
The rapid influx of our capital and
enterprise into that country, shows, by
what has already bsen accomplished.
the vast reciprocal advantages which
must naturally attend the progress of
its Internal d~eyalonments
- The provisions for the reciprocal
crossing Of the frontier by the troops
in pursuit of hostile Indians have been
prolonged for another year.
1 have good reason to believe that the
law restrictive of Chinese immigration
has been violated, Intentionally or
otherwise. by the officials of China,
upon whom devolved the duty of certi-
flying that the immigrants belong to
the excepted class.
Measures have been taken 10 ascer-
tain the facts incident to this supposed
infraction, and it is believed that the
government Of China will cooperate
with the United States in securing the
faithful observance Of the law.
The report Of the secretary
of the treasury gives full
and interesting exhibit of the financial
condition of the country. 1t shows
