The United States already !
possesses valuable premises at Tanzies. a |,
gift from :hc Sultan of Morocco. They
have lately received Il similar gift from ths, |
Siame>c Government. Japan stands ready |
to grant AS extensive grounds at Toxic,
wherein to erect a suitable huiiding for the
legation, court house and Jail, and similar
privileges can probably be secured in Chi.
ma and Persia. The owning Of such prem
ises would not only effect large saving of
the present rentals, but would permit OF
the due assertion of extra territorial rights
in those countries, and would better serve
to maintain the dignity OF the United
States.
The failure Of Congress to make appro-
priation for our representation at Autono.
nous, court Of the Khedive, has proved u
serious embarrassment in our intercourse
with Egypt, and in view Of the necessary
intimacy Of diplomatic relationship, the
participation Of this Government in the
powers in all matters OF administration
there affecting the rights Of foreigners,
advise the restoration Of the agency, and a
Consulate General at Cairo on its former
basis. do not conceive it to be the wish
Of Congress that the United States should
withdraw altogether from. the honorable
position they have hitherto held nth re-
spect to the Khedivc, or that citizens Of this
republic residing or sojourniny in Egypt
should hereafter be without the aid and
protection OF a competent representative.
With France the traditional cordial rela-
tionship continues. The Eartholdi statue
OF Liberty enllghtcning the World, the gen.
crous gilt Of the people of France, Is ex.
pected TO reach New York in May next.
suggest that Congressional action be taken
in relation TO tn. spirit which has prompted
this gift, and in aid Of the timely compile.
ton Of the pedestal upon wnich it is to be
placed.
Our relations with Germany, Il country
which contributes to our own some of tn.
best elements OF citizenship, continue to s,t
cordial. The United States have cx,radi
ton treaties with several Of the German
States, but BY reason OF the conft:dera,io,
of these States and the imperial rule, tn,
application of such treaties is not as uni
form and comprehensive as the interest
of the ,wo countries require, and ,hertc cor
| recommend that negotiations he openc<

1t affords me pleasure {" say that our in

The Govrrnmen, OF Haw ali has indicate,
its Willingness to continue FOR seven year
the provisions OF the existing rrciprocu
treaty. Such continuance. in view Of tn
relations OF that country with the Ameri
can system OF States, should. in my iuay
',ent. be favored.

successful.
