WARRINGTON, December 3.-Following
10 the full text of the Presidents message
read before Congress today.
To The Senate and House of Represented
tiVes: -t
There are few transactions in the ad.
ministration of the Government, which are
even temporarily held in the confidence
of those charged with the conduct of the
public business. Every step taken is
under the observation Of an intelligent
and watchful people. The state OF the
Union is known from day to day, and
suggestions as to needed legislation
find an earlier voice than that which
speaks in these annual communications
Of the President to Congress.
Good will and cordiality have charac-
terized our relations and correspondence
with other Governments, and the year just
closed leaves few international questions
of importance remaining unadjusted.
No obstacle is believed to exist that can
long postpone the consideration and ad-
justment Of the still pending questions
upon satisfactory and honorable terms.
The dealings Of this Government with
other states have been, and should al
ways be, marked by frankness and sim
cerity-our purposes avowed and our
methods free from intrigue. This course
has borne rich fruit In the past and it is
our duty as nation to preserve the her
itage Of good repute which century OF
right-doing with foreign Governments has
secured to US.
TIE CONGRESS OF THE AMERICAS.
1t is matter of high significance, and
no less cougratulation, that the first year
of the second century of our conetitu-
tional existence, finds as honored guests
within our borders, representatives of all
independent states of North and South
America, met together in earnest confer.
ence, touching the best methods OF per-
petuating and expanding the relations
Of mutual interests and friendlinees ex-
tended among them. That the oppor-
tunity thus afforded for promoting closer
international relations and increased
prosperity Of the states represented, will
be used for the mutual good of all, can
not permit myself to doubt. Our people
will watch with interest and confidence
the results to flow from 30 suspicious
q meeting Of allied, and in large part
identical interests.
The recommendations of this interna-
tional conference of enlightened states
men should have the attention of Con-
gress and its cooperation for the removal
of unnecessary barriers to beneficial in
tercourse between the nations of America.
But while the commercial results which
it is hoped will follow this conference are
worthy of pursual, and of the great inter-
est they have created, it is believed that
the browning benefit will be found in the
better securities which may be devised
for the maintenance of peace between the
American nations and the settlement OF
all contentious by methods that Chris
tian civilization can approve. While view
ing with interest the resources and in
situations of our country, the delegate
will, am sure, find a higher satisfaction
in the evid ences of unselfish friendship
which everywhere attend their inter-
course with our people.
THE MARITIME CONFERENCE.
Another international conference hav-
ing great possibilities for good has lately
assembled and is now in session in this
capital. An in 7itation was extended by
the Government under the act of Con-
grsss of July 8, 1888, TO all the maritime
nations to send delegates to confer
touching the revision and amendment of
the rules and regulations governing YES
sells, and to adopt uniform system OF
marine signals. The response to the in
yitation has been very general and very
cordial. Delegates from twenty-six ma
tons are present in the conference, and
they have entered upon their useful
work with great zeal, and with an ardent
appreciation of its Importance. 30 far
as the agreement to be reached may re-
Quire legislation to give it effect, the CO.
operation is confidently relied upon.
NrRR. AMERICAN DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS.
1t is an interesting and unprecedented
fact that the two international confer.
en- ces have brought here the accredited
representation of thirty-three nations.
Bolivia, Ecuador and Honduras are now
by resident ENJOYS Of the
plenipotentiary grade. These states of
the American system maintain diplo-
matte representation at this capital.
In this connection it may be noted
that all the nations OF the Western Hem
isphere, with one exception, send to
Washington ENJOYS extraordinary and
ministers plenipotentiary, being the
highest grade accorded to this Govern
ment. The United States on the con-
trary sends ENJOYS Of lower grade to
some of our sister republics. Our
representative in Paraguay and Uruguay
is minister resident, while to Bolivia
we send minister resident and consul
general. In view Of the Importance of
our relations with the states of the
American system, our diplomatic agents
in those countries should be of the uni
form rank of envoy extraordinary and
minister plenipotentiary.
Certain missions were so elevated by
the last Congress with happy effect, and
/ recommend the completion of the re
form thus begun with the inclusion also
of Hawaii and Hayti in view OF their rela.
ton to the American system Of States.
I also recommend that timely provision
be made for extending to Hawaii an in
vitation to be represented in the inter-
national conference now sitting at this
capital.
RELATIONS WITH CHINA.
Our relations with China have not had
