LONDON, Dec. 9.-In commenting upon
PRESIDENT Harrison's message the Post
notices with satisfaction the absence Of
signs Of bluster toward foreign nations and
says that If the message meets the ideas of
the Presidents party Secretary Blaine's
chances have seriously diminished.
Inc Daily Nelcs says: 1.-THE Presidents
message leaves nothing TO be desired either
In tone or temper. Mr.. Harrison is less ex-
esperatlng than Secretary Blaine and con-
sequently more statesmanlike He would
not speak so tenderly of reciprocity If his
protection policy was a success
The Standard says: President Harri-
sons message is noticeable for its large de-
votion 70 foreign affairs. This showing is
due to Secretary Blaine's fldgety activity.
The President glides with customary
bland optimisms over several mat
ters hardly doing credit to
American diplomatists. 10 must be ad-
mitted that the figures he quotes, although
they do not justify the sanguine hopes of
the authors Of the Mckinley tariff law. are
sufficient to cause some surprise 10 adverse
critics both at home and abroad
