Congress

Carefully Prepared DOcument-The
Various Public Interests
Passed In Review.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 0.-Presfdent Clevcland'S
elm relatians and netbir ~ th.s aoc Ua to |;
devoted to discussion and review OF this i'm
portant topic. Our Government, he says
has consistently maintained its relations o.
friendship toward all other powers. and {
neighborly interest toward those whose posses
eions are contiguous to our own. Few ques
tons have arisen during the past year with
other governments and none of those are be
yond the reach of settlement in friendly
council.
The cruel treatment OF inofensiye Chinese II
the far West is alluded 10. and in speaking of q
remedy he says the paramount duty of main
tanning public order and defending the interests
Of our own people may require the adoption o.
measures OF restriction. but they should not
tolerate the oppression Of individuals of spe
cial race.
Discussing the fisheries question. SO long q
subject of anxious difference between the
United States and Great Britain, the Presiden,
says the questions involved are of grea,
consequence. and from time to time
for nearly three-Quarters of u century, have
given rise to earnest international discussions
not unaccOmpaned by irritation. Temporary
arrangements by treaties have served TO allay
friction which. however, has revived as each
treaty was terminated. While DESTROYS that
friendly relations should exist between the
people of the United states and Canada, the
action of Canadian officials during the past
season towards our fishermen has been
such, the President thinks, as to threaten
their continuance: and although disappointed
in his efforts to secure satisfactory settlement
of the question. negotiations are still pending
