The Mormon Question.

The report of the Utah commission will be
read with interest. 1t discloses the results Of
the recent legislation looking to the prevention
and punishment of polygamy n that territory.
| still believe that if taat abeminable practice
can be suppressed by law it only can be BY the
most radical legislation consistent with the re-
straints of the constitution. | can again
recommend, therefore, that congress assume
absolute political control of the territory of
Utah, and provide for the appointment of
commission with such governmental powers as
in its judgment may justly ana wisely put into
their hands.

CoIumbia's Commissioners Renort

The annual report of the commissioners of
the District of Columbia reviews the Operations
of the several departments of its muricipaI
government L ask your careful consideration
of its suggestions in respect to legislation and
commend such as relates to revision of the
civil and criminal code, the performance of
labor by persons sentenced to imprisonment
in the Jail, the construction and Occupation
OF Wharves along the river front, and the
erection of suitable building for a distric,
Office.

The Abolition of Excise Taxes.

In my annual message of 1852 | recon-
mended the abolition Of all excise taxes except
those relating to distilled spirits. The recon-
mendation is now renewed. In case these
taxes shall be abolished, the revenues that will
still remain to the government will, in M,
opinion. not only suffice to get its reasonable
expenditures, but Will afford a surplus large
enough to permit such tariff reduction as may
seem 10 be advisable, when the result of the
recent revenue laws and commercial treaties
shall have shown in what quarters these re.
auctions can be most judiciously effected.

The belong Expedition.

The bodies of Lieutenant Commander
George w. De Long and his companions OF
the Jeanette expedition have been removed to
the United States by Lieutenants Harber and
Schultz. The remains were taken from their
graves in the Lena Delta in March, 1888, and
were retained at Yakutsk until the following
winter, the season being too far advanced to
admit of their immediate transportation. They
arrived in New York February %. 1854
They were received with suitable honors

doubt not, be among the first measures to
claim your attention. A full treaty of COM
mercial navigation and consular rights Is much
to be desired, aud such treaty, have reason
to believe, that the Mexican government
stands ready to conclude. Some embarrass-
ment has been occasioned by the failure Of
congress at Its last session to provide means
for due execution Of the treaty of July 26th, for
the re-survey of the Mexican boundary, and
the relocation Of boundary monuments.
With the republic Of Nicaragua a treaty has
been concluded, which authorizes the con-
struction, by the United States, of canal,
railway and telegraph lines across the Mica
raguan territory. BY the terms of the treaty
90 miles OF the river San Juan, as well as lake
Nicaragua, an inland sea 40 miles in width, are
to constitute part Of the projected empire
This covers the actual canal construction sew
enteen miles on the Pacific side and thirty
six miles on the Atlantic. To the United
States, whose rich territory on the Pacific is
Tor the ordinary purposes Of commerce, prac-
hcally cut off from communication by water
with the Atlantic ports the political and COM
mercial advantages of such a project can
hardly be Over-estimated. 1t is believed, that
when the treaty is laid before YOU. the Justice
and liberty of its provisions will command
universal approval at home and abroad The
death OF our representative at Russia while at
his post at ST. Petersburg afforded to the I'M
perial government renewed opportunity to
testify its sympathy in a manner befitting the
intimate friendliness which has ever marked
the intercourse of tie two countries. The
course of this government in raising its repre-
sentation at Bangkok to the diplomatic rank,
has evoked from Siam evidences of warm
friendship, and argues well for our enlarged
intercourse. The Siamese government has
presented to the United States commodious
mansions and grounds for the occupancy of
the legation and l suggest that by joint reso-
luton congress attest its appreciation of the
gift.

The Neutrality Laws.

1 see no reason why overt preparations in
this country, for the commission OF criminal
acts, such as are here under consideration,
should not be alike punishable, whether such
acts are intended to be committed in our own
country, or in foreign country, with which
we are at peace. The prompt and thorough
treatment of this question is one which init
matelY concerns the national honor.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE,
TO The Congress Of The United States.


Since the close Of your last session the
American people, in the exercise of their high.
est right Of suffrage, have chosen their chief
magistrate for the four years ensuing. When
1t Is remembered that at no period in the coun.
try's history has the long political contest
which customarily precedes the day of the
nationel election been waged with greater fer
yot and intensity, 1t is a subject Of copgratu-
iation that after the controversy at the polls
was over, and while the slight preponderance
by which the issue had been determined was
as yet unascertained, the public peace suffered
no disturbance, but the people everywhere
patiently and quietly awaited the result. Moth
Ing could more strikingly illustrate the temper
OF the American citizen. his love of order, and
his loyalty to law; nothing could more signally
demonstrate the strength and wisdom of our
political institutions. Eight years have passed
since controversy concerning the result of a
national election sharply called the attention
OF congress to the necessity of providing more
definite regulations for counting the electoral
vote. 1t is OF the gravest importan, e that this
question be solved before conflicting claims to
the presidency shall again distract the coun-
try And | am persuaded that by the people
at large any of the measures of relief thus far
proposed would be preferred to continued in
action.
McCook weekly tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 188?-1886, 1884-12-11
The Consular Service.

The legislation of the last session effected
in the diplomatic and consular service certain
changes and reductions which have been pro-
ductive of embarrassment. The population
and intermediate activity of our country are
steadily on the increase, and are giving rise
to new, varying and often delicate relation
ships with other countries. Our foreign estab-
lshment now embraces nearly double the area
of operations that it did twenty years ago.
The confinement OF such a service within the
limits of expenditure then established is not,
it seems to me in accordance with true econO-
my. A community of sixty millions Of people
should be adequately represented in its inter
course with foreign nations. A project for the
reorganization of consular service or for re-
casting the scheme of extra territorial juris-
diction is now before you. If the limits of a
short session will not allow its full considers
ton, l trust you wont fail TO make suitable
provision for the present needs of the service.
1t has been customary to define in the appro-
priation acts the rank Of each diplomatic
office to which salary is attached | suggest
that this course be abandoned, and that it be
left to the president with the advice and con-
sent of the senate to fix, from time to time, the
diplomatic grade of the representatives of this
government abroad as may seem advisable,
provision being definitely made however, as
now, for the amount of salary attached to the
respective stations.

TWO BURGLARS ESCAPE FROM JAIL
James Cody of Oyster Bay, l.. l.. who was in
dcted for burglary and grand larceny, and James
Kicker indicted for burglary, and awaiting trial III
the Queens County Jail, made their escape on Tues
day night. The prisoners were IN cells on thc

went to that the prisoners wee all locked up
for the night he saw what appeared TO he men ~
ing on the cots in the cell occupied by Cody and
Kicker. and after locking and barring the cell
doors he went back to the office. Shortly after SIX
o'clock when he went to let the prisoners out OF
their cells To wash he surprised that Cody aud
Kicker did not come from their cell when he called
them, and looking in saw that two dummies had
been placed in their cot. Further investigation
showed that two of the iron bars M one of the win

A dispatch was received at the office of the Gu

that thc RECON had beaten the record tor an east
rrn passage, having arrived at FaStuet at a. m
Il DAYS : hours and 80 minutes from sandy Hook.
The Oregon thus cut down her own time of u days,
~ hours and "a minutes for an eastward passage.
She made her previous best record going 10 the
eastward on the trip which she left here ON July
30 and arrived of Fastnet on August q. Next TO
This is the record of the America of the National
Line which, in last June made the eastward pass
age i'm DAYS. II hours and 80 minutes. The two
fastest westward trips are also 10 the oregon 3
credit She made her fastest of 9 days, o hours
and ~ minutes about two weeks ago. The record
which she then broke was her own of days, 10
hours 10 minutes IL will be seen That her fastest
westward trim Is more than an hour longer than
her fastest eastward voyage. This Is because the
Gulf Stream retards a ship going TO the westward
and a Dis one going east Great speed Is expected

TIE DOCK BOARD on IT'S DIGNITY.

A communication received by the Dock Commis-
sioners yesterday from the Board OF Public Works
stated that the binding of the new pier south of
Pier l. North River, had shut of access to two
hydrants used by the department To supply ship
ping with water. The department asked permission
10 place pipes aud hyd ants on Pier %. aud said
also thatIt intended to place pipes and hydrants
on the new pier when il was finished.
The intention conveyed IN this note said Mr..
LaImbeeT. " is great piece of assumption ON the
part of the Public Works Department. The secrc-
tafy wa instructed TO inform the Board of Public
Works that when II was decided TO give pcfmlssiou
TO Law pipes the new pier, the Dock Board would
lief the Public Works Department know il.
