.BEHRING SEA.
The Agreement for a Closed Season and
the Prospects of Arbitration.

The Agreement for Closed Season and
the Prospects of Arbitration.
In view of the reports which have been re-
ceived as to the diminution OF the seal herds in
the Behring sea, deemed 1t wise to propose to
her majesty government, in February last that
an agreement for a closed season should be
made pending the negotiations for arbitration,
which then seemed to be approaching a favora-
Bile conclusion. After much correspondence, and
delays for which this government Was not re-
sponsible, an agreement was reached and signed
dertook, from that date and until May l, 1892,
to prohibit the killing by her subjects OF seals i'll
the Behring sea, and the government OF the
United States, during the same period, to en-
force its existing prohibition against pelaeic
sealing and to limit the catch by the
fur seal company upon the islands to 1900
skins. If this agreement could have been reached
earlier, in response to the strenuous endeavors
OF this government, it would have been more
effective; but, coming even late as it did, it
unquestionably resulted in greatly diminishing
the destruction OF seals by the leading sealers.
In my last annual message 1 stated that the
basis of arbitration proposed by her majesty 8
government for the adjustment OF the long
pending controversy as to the seal fisheries was
nounce that terms satisfactory to this govern
ment have been agreed upon and that an agree
ment to the arbitrator is all that is neceS-
sary to the completion OF the convention. In
view OF the advanced petition which this gov
eminent has taken upon International arbltra-
ton, this renewed expression OF our adherence
to this method for the settlement of disputes

EXPORT OF MEAT.

Several Countries Have Removed the
Embargo Upon Pork Products.
The law OF the last congress providing sys-
tenn of inspection OF our meats intended for ex-
port and clothing the president with power to
exclude foreign products from our market in
case the country sending them should perpetu-
ate unjust Determinations against any product
of the United States, placed this government in
opposition to effectively urge the removal OF
such determinations against our meats.
1t is gratifying to be able to state that Ger
many. Denmark, Italy, Austria and France, in
the order named, have opened their ports to in-
spected American pork products. The removal
OF these restrictions in every instance was asked
for and given solely upon the ground that 1--WE
had now provided meat inspection that
should be accepted as adequate to the complete
removal of the dangers, real or faucied, which
had been previously urged. The state depart

and intelligent zeal for the accomplishment OF
this great result.

THE TARIFF
An Approval Of the Results of the Nc
Kinley Bill.

An Approval Of the Results of the Nc
Kinley Bill.
The general interest i'll the operations OF the
treasury department has been much augmented
during the last year by reason of the conflicting
predictions which accompanied and followed the
tariff and other legislation OF the last congress
affecting the revenue, as to the results OF this
legislation upon the treasury and upon the
country. On the one hand. it was cOntended
that imports would SO fall off as to leave the
treasury bankrupt, and that the prices Of arti-
cles entering into the living OF the people would
be SO enhanced as to disastrously affect their
comfort and happiness; while, on the other, it
was argued that the loss to the revenue, largely
the result of placing sugar on the Tree list, would
be a direct gain to the people; that the prices Of
the necessaries OF life, including those most
highly protected, would not be enhanced: that
labor would have larger market and the prod
ucts advanced prices, while the treasury surplus
and receipts would be adequate to meet the APP
propriati IONS including the large exceptional ex-
penditures for the refunding to the states OF the
direct tax and the redemption Of the AZ percent
/ bonds. . -.
L II is not my purpose to enter at length into q
discussion OF the effects OF the legislation to
which I have referred; but q brief examination

This government has found occasion to ex-

concern because of the harsh measures now be-
ing offered against the Hebrews in Russia. By
the revival of anti-semitic laws, long in abey

bity of finding subsistence within the pale to
which it is sought to confine them The immf-

mated that over million will be forced

Hebrew is never a beggar; he has always kept
the law-life by toil-otten under severe and o p
pressive civil restrictions. 1t is also true that
no race. sect or class has more fully Cared for
its own than the Hebrew race. But the sudden
transfer of such a. multitude. under conditions
that tend to stripssthem of their small accumu-

During the twelve months from Oct. /, 1890,

largest in any previous year was in 1890. when
our commerce amounted to 1,647 ,129. O93,
and the last year exceeds this enormous aggre-
gate by over one hundred millions. 1t is Inter
esting, and to some will be surprising. to know
that during the year, ending Sept 80, 1891, our
imports OF merchandise amounted to $S2471o,-
go, which was an increase OF more then eleven
million dollars over the value OF imports OF the
corresponding months of the preceding year,
when the imports Of merchandise were unusually
pending. The average annual value OF the im-
ports OF merchandise for the ten years from
1881 to 1880 was S692, 1856. 522, and during
the year ending, Sept 80. 1891. this annual av-
erage was exceeded by 1892, 52S. 1863

A Demand for tho Protection of Citi-
zens of the United States.
The late outbreak against foreigners in various
parts OF the Chinese empire has been a cause of
deep pain in view OF the numerous establish
mepts of Our citizens in the interior OF that
country. This government can do no less than
insist upon continuance of the protective and
punitory measures which the Chinese govern
ment has heretofore applied. No effort will be
omitted to protect our citizens peaceably So
iourning in China, but recent unofficial informa-
ton indicates that what was at first regarded
as an outbreak of mob violence against for-
eigners has assumed the larger form of an insur-
rection against public order
The Chinese government has declined to re-
ceive Mr.. Blair as the minister OF the United
States on the ground that, us a participant,
legislation against the Introduction OF Chinese
laborers, he has become unfrlendly and objec-
tionabe to China. 1 have felt constrained to
point out to the Chinese government the unten-
ableness of this position. which seems to rest as
much OH the unacceptability OF our legislation
as on that OF the person chosen, and which, If
admitted. would practically debar the selection
OF any representative so long as the existing
laws remain in force.
You will be called upon to consider the ex-
pediency OF making special provision by law Tor
the temporary admission OF some Chinese
artisans and laborers in connection with the eX-
hibit OF Chinese Industries at the approaching

that the Chinese exhibit be facilitated i'll every
