The Chinese Fliots.
The late outbreak against foreigners
in various parts Of the chinese empire
has been cause Of deep pain in view OF
the numerous establishments of our
citizens in the interior Of that country.
This government can 30 no less than
insist upon Il continuance of the pro
tective and punitory measures WHICH
the Chinese government Nas heretofote
applied. No effort will be omitted 70
protect our citizens poaecably adjourn
ing IN China, but recent unofficial ih-
formation indicates that what was at
first regarded AS an outbreak of mob
violence against foreigner has assumed
the larger form of 81 insurrection
against public order.
Inter-ContinentaI Railway Surveys
Surveys for the connecting links of
the projected inter-continental railway
are progressing, not only N Mexico, but
at various points along the course
mapped out. Three surveying parties
are now in the field under the direction
of the commission. Nearly 1000 miles
of the proposed road have been surveyed,
including the most diffiEult part, thst
through Ecuador and the southern part
of Columbia. The reports Of the engs-
neers are very satisfactory and show
that no insurmountable obstacles have
been met with. ,
Relations with Hcaelulu.
The death of King kalaltaua in tho
United States afforded occasion to testify
our friendship for Hawai- By conveying
the kings body to his own land i'm a na-
val vessel with all due honors The
government of his successor Queen Lii
uokalani, is seeking to promote closer
commercial .elations with the United
States. Surveys for the much needed
submarine cable from our Pacific coaf
to Honolulu are in progrosH and this en-
terprise should have the suitable promo
ton Of the two governments. IstrongU
recommend that provision be made Tor
improving the harbor Of Pearl river snd
equiping it as naval station.
A Protest to Etssia.
This government has found OCCASION
to express, in friendly spirit, but with
much earpestness, to the government of
the car, its serious concern because of
the harsh measures now being offered
against the Hebrews IN Russia. BY the
revival of antisomitic laws, long IN
allegiance, great numbers of these aI
fortunate people have been constrained
to abandon their homes and leave tho
empire by reason of the impossibility Of
finding subsistence within the pale TO
which it is sought to contine them. The
immigration of these people to the
United States-many other countries
being closed to them--is largely inoreas~
ing and is likely to assume proportions
which may make it difficult to hHd
homes and employment for them here
and to seriously affect the labor Market
1t is estimated that oven onemillioa win
be forced from Russia within = few
years.
A decree to leave one country Ia, IA
nature of things, an order TO enter An
other--some other. This consideration,
as well as the suggestions OF humanity.
furnishes ample ground FOR tha M
mOnstrances which we have presant6sa
TO Russia, while our historic friendship
for that government cannot fail to gise
