western Canada, have perhaps been the
slost carefully watched portions OF the
North American continent during the
FAST year. These three provinces have

san abundant water supply, furnished
sy multitude CT lakes, rivers, creeks

,ne better adapted to the growth OF the
ancst grades Of wheat. or to profitable
agriculture in all its branches. The
tast season was q fine illustration OF
shc wonderful advantages and product
iyeness of the country; wheat and other
eereals, roots, vegetables, hay, etc, all
Yielded enormous crops, and there Is
nore genuine prosperity and content

western Canada, than has been re-

Among all these millions OF acres OF
fertile lands, free as air to all who seek
for new homes upon them, settlers from
every nation of Europe, from the older
parts of Canada and from many parts OF
the United States are rapidly securing
farms and laying the foundation for .

The apprehension that our tariff may again
and at once be subject to important general
changes would undoubtedly add . depress-
ing influence Of the most serious character.
The general tariff act has only partially
gone into operation, some Of its important
provisions being limited to take effect at
future dates. The general provisions Of the
law have been in force less than sixty days
Its permanent effect on trade and prices still
largely stand in conjecture. II IL curious to
note that the advance in prices of articles
wholly unaffected by the act was by many
hastily ascribed TO that act. Notice was not
taken of the tact that the general tendency
of the markets was upward from Influences
wholly apart from the late tariff legislation.
The enlargement Of our currency by the
silver bill undoubtedly gave an upward ten
dency to trade and had . marked effect ON
prices, but this natural effect Of the silver
legislation was by many attributed to the
tariff act. There Is neither wisdom nor sug-
gestion that the subject Of tariff revision
shall be opened before this law has had . fair
trial. II il quite true that every tari6 sched-

s9O,6l7 than for the same proportion in the
preceding year. The percentage of cost of
collecting the customs rvenue was less for
the last fiscal year than ever before.
THE ARMY.
The report of the Secretary of War shows
several gratifying results attained during
the year by wise and transformations meth
ods. The percentage of desertions from the
army (an evil for which both Congress and
ths department have been long seeking a
remedy has been reduced during the past
year "a per cent, and for the months of
August and September, during which time
the favorable effects of the act OF June
l6 were felt, S3 per cent, as COM
pared with the same month Of 1883.
The results attained by a reorganization and
consolidation of the divisions having charge
of the hospital and service records of the
volunteer soldiers are very remarkable.
This change was effected in July 1889, and at
that time there were 40.65l eases awaiting at
tention, more than half of these being calls
from the pension claims. On the sOth of
June last, though over 100000 new calls had
come in, there was not single case that had
not been examined and answered.
I concur in the recommendations of the
Secretary that adequate and regular appro-
priations be continued for coast defense
works and ordnance. Plans have been prac-
tically agreed upon and there can be no good
reason IOr Oeiaylng the execution OF them
while the defenseless state of our seaports
furnishes an urgent reason for wise expedi-
ton.
The aid that has been extended to the mill
tia of the States generally and most appro-
priately designated the National Guard -
should be continued and enlarged. These
military organizations constitute in a large
sense. the army Of the United States while
about hve- -sixths Of the annual cost of their
maintenance is betrayed by the States.
THE NAVY.
The construction and equipment of the new
ships for the navy have made very satisfact-
ory progress. Since March 4, 1883. nine new
vessels have been put in commission, and
during the winter four more, including one

THE DELAGOA BAY TROUBLE.
In this connection i may refer with ap-
prOval to the suggestions of my predecessors
that standing provision should be made { pr
accepting whenever deemed advisable, the
frequent invitations of foreign Governments
to share in conferences looking to the ad-
yancement of International reform in regard
to science, sanitation, commercial laws and
procedure and other matters affecting the
intercourse and progress of modern commu-
mites. In the summer of 1883 an incident oc-
CURED which for some time threatened to in
terrupt the cordiality of our relations with
the Government of Portugal. That Govern
ment seized the Delagoa Bay railway. which
was constructed under a concession granted
to an American citizen, and at
concessionaxy, who had embarked his
fortune in the enterprise, having exhausted
other means Of redress, was compelled to in
woke the protection of his Government. Our
representations, made coincidently with
those of the British Government, whose SUBJ
jects were also largely interested, happily re-
suited in the recognition by Portugal of the
propriety Of submitting the claim for indem.
nifty, growing out of its action, to arbitration.
The plan of settlement having been agreed
upon, the interested Powers readily con-
CURED IN the proposal to submit the case to
the Judgment OF three eminent jurists, to be
designated by the President of the Swiss Re-
public. who, upon the joint invitation of the
