J. maintained and accepted by the party

, Chilians. A call has been issued by Gen

Diplomatic and naval representatives of this
government will attend at Caracas, the CEN
tcpnial celebration Of the birth OF the Illus
trious Boliver,, at the same time
Washington in the Ventzuela capital, tes-
titled TO the veneraton in which his, memo
ry IS held there. Congress at It's last ses-
| sion authorized the executive 10 propose to
| the Neng zuela government the opening of
the awards of the mixed commission OF
| Caracas. The departure from this country
OF the Venezuela minister, has delayed the
opening of the negotiation for TeViving the
commission, this government holds that
| until the establishment of treaty upon
| this subject, the Venezuelan government
must continue to make the payment pro-
| vlded tor in the convention OF 1866. There
is ground for believing that the dispute
growing out OF the unpaid obligation due
from Venezuela to France, will be satisfac-
torily adjusted. The French cabinet has
proposed a basis of settlement which meet
my approval but as IL involves TecasCiug
of the annual quotas ofthe foreign debt, 1t
has been deemed advise bic TO submit the
proposed question to the judgment of tue
cabinets OF rerHn, tepenhegan, The
c1rOnstl6n OF his mt15sty, King halakeu
this government was represented, both
djplomsIicaiiy aud by the formal visit of
vessel ot war. The question Of terminat-
lug or modifying the existing reciprocity
treaty with Hawaii, is now before con-
gress. l am convinced that the charges of
ABUSE and fraud under that treay have been
exaggerated, and l renew the suggestion OF
last year s.message, that the treaty be mod
flied wherever its provisions have proved
onerous to legitimate trade between the
two countries. | am not disposed to favor
the entire cessation OF treaty relations,
which have fostered good will between the
countries and contributed toward the
equality of Hawaii in the family of nations.
In pursuance of the policy declared by this
government, of extending our inter-
course with the eastern Datons,
negotiations have during the past year
been made in Persia, Siam and Corea 1t
is probable that permanent mission of
these countries will ere long be maintained
in the United States. A special assembly
from Siam is on its way hither. Treaty
relations with Corea were perfected by the
exchange at Seol, on the 18th OF May last,
of the ratification OF the lately concluded
convention, and ENJOYS from the king OF
Tahchosun have visited this country and
received cordial welcome. Corea, as yet
unacquainted with the methods OF western
those nterested in the advancement OF our
foreign trade ms it needs tbn implements
and products which the 6nlted States
are ready to supply. We seek no monopoly
of its commerce and no advantages over
other nation, but as the Chinese in reach
ing for higher civilization have contided
IN this republic, we cannot regard with
indifference any encroachments upon their
rights. China by the payment of money
for indemnity has settled certain Of the
long pending claims OF our citizens, ana
have strong hopes that the remainder will
soon be adjusted.
Questions have arisen touching the rights
OF American and other foreign manufac-
lures in China under the provisions of
treaties, which permit aliens TO exercise
their industries in that country. GA this
specific point our own treaty is silent, but
under the operation OF most favored
national clause, We have a
like privilege with those of
other powers. While 10 Is the
duty of the government to see that our Cit
izens have the full enjoyment OF the bene-
Fl received by the treaty, doubt the oxpe-
dienCy of leading In a movement TO con-
strain China to admit an Interpretation, !
whicn we have only an indirect treaty
right TO exact. The transfer to China of
American capital for the employment there |
by Chinese labor; would in effect inaugu. |

tfieg. There Is good reason TO believe that
the law restricting emmigratiOn OF Chinese /
has been violated intentionally, OF other
wise by the officials OF China, on WhOn Is
devoted The duty OF certifying that the EN-.
migrants belongs TO the excepted class.
Measures have been takel 70 ascertain the
facts incident TO this supposed Injection
and Il is believed that the government OF
China will cooperate with the United States
in securing the faithful observance OF the
law, The sole considerations which prompt

conference, held at Tolkot, but without
