ME}(W its chairman, Mr..
VA Blount, OF Georgia, in
formed the speaker
thatit had performed the duty imposed
on it, andthat the President would send
a communication in writing this morn
ing.
Shortly after, Doorkeepcr Turner per-
formed his first public duty in his new
field OF labor by announcing the pres
ence of Mr.. Pruden, one OF the Prcsi-
dents secretaries.
Mr.. Prudcn delivered the annual mes
sage OF the President. which was imme-
diatcly read by the clerk.
The reading OF the annual message
in the house never received much at
tcntion and the last one proved no cX-
ception to the general rule.
On the completion Of the reading the
message, was on motion OF MIR. Outh-
waite, OF Ohio, referred to the COM
mittee OF the whole, and ordered
printed.
On motion OF Mr.. Holman, the house
then adjourned until Saturday with
the understanding that q further ad-
journmcnt should be then taken until
Wednesday.
The message was also read in the
senate and that body organized: Fol
lowing is the message:
To the Senate aud IioHscot Representatives.:
The reports OF the heads OF the sever
nj executive departments required by
law to be submitted to me which are
herewith transmitted and the reports
OF the secretary OF the treasury and the
attorney general, made directly to con-
grcss, furnish n comprehensive view OF
the administrative work OF the last fiscal
year relating to internal affairs. 1t would
be OF great advantage if these reports
could have m attentive perusal by every
member OF congress and by all who
take an interest in public affairs. Such
a pcrusal could not fail tocxcite a higher
appreciation OF the vast labor and con-
scicntious effort which are given to the
conduct OF u civil administration.
The reports will, l believe, show that
every question has been approached,
considered and decided from the stand
point OF public duty and upon consid-
erations affecting the public interests
alone. Again l invite to every branch
OF the service the attcntionand scrutiny
OF congress.
The work of the state dcpartmentdur-
ing tho last year has been characterized
by an unusual number OF important ne
gotiations and by diplomatic results OF
nnotablc and highly beneficial charac-
ter. Among these are the. reciprocal
trade arrangements which have been
concluded, in the exercise OF the powers
conferred by section 8 OF tho tariff law,
with the republic OF Brazil, with Spain
for its West India possessions, and with
San Domingo. Like negotiations with
other countries have been much adj
vanced, and it is hoped that before the
close of the year further delinitive trade
arrangements OF great value will be con.
Guided. In view OF the reports which
had been received as to the diminution
