ATIyEs: The reports OF the heads OF the sever
oil executive departments required py law to
be submitted to me. which are herewith trans
mitted, and the ports OF the secretary Of the
treasury and the attorney general, made di.
rectly TO congress furnish q comprehensive
view OF the administrative work OF the last
fiscal year relating to international affairs. II
would be OF great advantage II these
reports could have an attentive perus.
and by all Who take an interest in public Of.
fairs: such Ierusal should not fail to e.
higher appreciation Of the vast labor IN.
scientious effort which are given to the cohdnct
OF our civil administration. The reports will.
believe. SHOW that every question has been
approached. considered and decided from the
standpoint OF public duty and upon considera-
lions affecting the pubic interests alone.
Again invite to every branch OF the service
the attention and scrutiny OF congress.
Reciprocal Trade.
The work OF the state department during the
last year has been characterized by
usual number OF important negotiations and by
diplomatic results Of q notable and highly ben
efcial character Among these are the recip-
REGAL trade arrangements which have been con-
Guided in the exercise Of the power conferred
by section Of the tariff law. with the republic
OF Brazil with Spain for its West India posses.

with other countries have been much advanced,
and 1t Is hoped that before the close Of the year
value will be concluded.
The B%hring Sea Question.
In view OF the reports which have been re
ceived as TO the dimlnution OF the seal herds in
the Behrins sea ! deemed it wise TO propose to
her majesty's government in February last
that an agreement as to . closed season should
be made pending the negotiations for arbtra
tion which then seemed to be approaching
favorable conclusion. After much correspond
ence and delays for which this government
was not responsible. an agreement was reached
and sigrtd on the 18th OF June by which
Great Britain undertook. from that date
and until May |. 1899 10 prohibit the killing by

the strenuous Efforts OF this government it
would have been more effective; but, coming
even as late as ii did 1t unquestionably result
ed in greatly diminishing the destruction Of
the seals by the Canadian sealers
Our Pork Abroad.
The laws OF the last congress providing q
system OF inspection for our meats intended
for exports. and clothing the president with

solely upon the ground that We had

be accepted as adequate to the complete re-
mOval OF the dangers real or fancied, which
had been previously urged
Brazilian Troubles.
The recent political disturbances in the re-
public OF Brazil have excited regret and solici.

meager to enable us TO form a satisfactory
judgment OF the causes leading to the tenn
