SOUTH ATLANTIC AND GULF PORTS.
The South Atlantic and Gulf ports occupy
very favored position towards the new and I'M
portant commerce, which the reciprocity clause
of the tariff act and the postal shipping bill are
designed to promote. Steamship lines nom
these ports to some northern port OF the South
sea will almost certainly effect a connection be-
tween the railroad system of the continent long
before any continuous line Of railroads can be
put in operation. The very large appropna-.
ton made at the last session for the harbor OF
was justified, as it seemed to be by
those considerations. The great Northwest will
feel the advantage of trunk lines to the South,
as well as to the East, and of the new markets
opened for the supply Of food products, and for
many Of their manufactured products,

SPANISH LAND GRANTS.
The Disputes Retard the Prosperity of
Important COmmunities.

The subject Of adjusted Spanish and Mexican
land grants and the urgent necessity for produc-
ing some commission or tribunal for the final
treatment Of the question growing out thereof
was twice brought by me to the attention of
congress. AT the last session bills have been
reported from the proper commissions and both
houses on the subject, and very earnestly hope
that this congress will put an end to the delay
which has attended the settlement Of disputes as
TO title between settlers and claimants under
these grants These disputes retard the pros
perity and distract the peace of large and i'm
portant communities.
The government of New Mexico in the last
report to the secretary of the interior suggests
some notifications of the provisions Of the
pending bills relating to small holdings of farm
land | commend to your attention the sug-
gestions of the secretary Of the interior on this
subject.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE.
INCORPORATION of an International Amer
lean Bank Recommended.

had occasion in my last message to transmit
to congress a reply adopted by the International
conference upon the subject Of the incorporation
Of an International American bank, with view
10 facilitate money exchanges between the
states represented in that conference. Such an
institution would greatly promote the trade we
are seeking to develop. | renew the recon-
mendation that a careful and wel-guarded
charter be granted. | do not think the powers
granted should include those ordinarily exer-
cised by trust, guarantee and safe deposit COM
panes, or that any branches in the United
States should be authorized than are strictly
necessary to accomplish the object primarily in
view, namely, convenient foreign exchange. 1t
is quite important that prompt action should be
taken in this matter in order that any appro-
priation for better communication with those
countries and any agreement that may be made
fol- reciprocal trade may not be hindered for the
convenience of making exchanges throughout
Europe, and the many centers widened by the
tribute which is an event Of that method Of

steamship Lines.
In addition to the bills that became law
before the adjournment of the last session some
other bills OF the highest importance were well
advanced toward final vote and now stand
upon the calendar Of the two houses in favored
positions. The present session has a fixed
lllnlt and ii these measures are not now brought
to iinal vote, all the work that has been done
upon them by this congress is lost. The prop
ef consideration of these-of an apportionment
bill and of the annual appropriation bills-will
require that no working day Of the session shall
DC allowed to interrupt or retard the progress of
these bills that are of universal interest. In
view oil these conditions, refrain from bringing
before you at this time suggestions that would
olhef"lSe be made, and most earnestly invoke
your attention to the duty of perfecting the i'm

NATIONAL BANKRUPT LAW.
Permanent Legislation on This Point Is
Very Desirable

The enactment of national bankrupt law is
still regarded as very desirable The consttu-
ton having given to congress the jurisdiction Of
this subject it should be exercised, and uniform
rules provided for the administration of the
affairs OF insovent debtors. The inconvenience
resulting from the occasional and temporary ex-
ercse OF the power by congress and from the
conflicting state codes of insolvency, which
come into force Immediately, should be removed
by the enactment of simple, inexpensive and
permanent national bankrupt law.
