THE CHINESE.
In message accompanying my ap-
proval, on the first day of October
last, OF a bill Tor the exclusion of
Chinese laborers, laid before Con-
greSS full information and all cores
pOndence touching the negotiate ons of
the treaty with China, concluded ST
this capital on the 18th day of March.
1888, and which having been confirmed
by the Senate with certain amend
ments, was rejected by the Chinese
government. This message contained s
recommendation that sum of money
be appropriated as compensation to
Chinese subjects, who had suffered
injuries at the hands of laWless men,
within our jurisdiction; such appro-
priation having been duly made, the
fund awaits reception by the Chinese
government.
1t is sincerely hoped that by the ces-
sation of the influx of this class Of
Chinese subjects in accordance with
the expressed wishes of both govern
ments, a cause of unkind feeling has
been permanently removed.
JAPAN's REVISION.
On the 9th of August, 1887, notifca-
ton was given by the Japanese minis
ter at this capital OF the adjournment
OF the conference for the revision of
the treaties of Japan with foreign pow
erS, owing to the objection of his gov
eminent to the provision ia the draft
of the jurisdictional convention which

al code of the empire to the powers in
advance of its becoming oper-
alive. This notification, was,
however, accompanied with an
assurance of Japan's intention to
continue the work of revision.
this temporary in
corruption of negotiations, it is hoped
that Improvements may soon be Sc
cured in the jurisdictional system, az
respects foreigners in Japan, and relief
afforded to that country from the
present undue and oppressive foreign
control in matters of commerce.
earnestly recommend that relief be
provided for the injuries accidentally
caused to Japanese subjects in the
island Ikisima, by the target practice
OF one OF our vessels.
COhEA AND PEhS1A.
A diplomatic mission from Corea has
been received. The formal intercourse
between the two countries c0ntemp-
lated by the treaty of 1882, is now es-
tablished. Legislative provision is
hereby recommended to organize and
equip consular courts in Coreas and
Persia. The latter has established
representation at this cap
ltal and has evinced very great in
terest in the enterprise and achieve
mentS of our citizens. l am therefore
hopeful that beneficial commercial re-
Iations between the two countries NAV
be brought about.
| announce with sincere regret that
Hayti has again become the theatre of
disorder and bloodSbed,
The titular government of President
Solomon has been iorcibly everthroWn
and he driven out of the country to
France, where he has since died. The
tenure of power has been so unstable
amid the war of factions that has en-
sued since the expulsion of President
Solomon that no government constitu-
ted by the will of the Haytien people
has been recognized as administering
responsibly the affairs of that country,
Dur representation has been instruct
ed to abstain from interference be-
tween the warning factions and ves-
sci OF our navy has been sent to Hay
lien waters TO sustain our minister
and for the protection of the persons
ind property of American citizens.
Ample precautions have been taken to
enforce our neutrality laws and pre-
vent our territory from becoming the
base of military supplies for either of
he warning factions. Under color of
/ blockade, of which no reason
able notice had been given, and
which does not appear to have
been efficiently maintained, 8
seizure of vessels under the Amer
can flag has been reported and in
measures to prevent and
'edress any molestation of any of our
innocent merchantmen have been
LdOpted.
