The Presidents Message.
HAWAIIAN CABLE STRONGLY URGED.

President Harrison makes the fol
lowing reference to Hawaii in his
message to Congress:
"Our relations with Hawaii have
been such as to attract an increased
interest and must continue to do so.
| deem it of great Importance that
the projected submarine cable, a sur
vey for which has been made,
should be promoted both for naval
and commercial uses. We should
have quick communication. We
should before this have availed our
selves of the concession made many
years ago to this Government for
harbor and naval station at Pearl
River. Many evidences of the
friendliness of the Hawaiian Govern
ment have been given in the past,
and it is gratifying to believe that
the advantage and necessity of a
continuance of very close relations
is appreciated"
On the Nicaragua Canal matter |
the President says:
Il repeat with great earnestness
the recommendation which | have |
made mention in previous messages, |
/ w VIC Sul'l'oll SlNNh VIC
! American Company engaged in the
construction of the Nicaragua ship
canal. 1t is impossible to overstate
the value from every standpoint of
this great enterprise, and | hope
that there may be time given in this
Congress to give to it an impetus
that will insure the early completion
of the canal and secure to the United
States its proper relations to it when
completed"
The message strongly maintains
that the country has made great ad
vances in prosperity through the
protection. policy. The President
recommends that the whole subject
of tariff revision be left to the next
Congress, saying ''it would be offens-
i've to suggest that the prevailing
part will not carry into legislation
the principles advocated by it and
the pledges given to the people"
He deplores the probability of in
jury to business from uncertainty as
to what changes the dominant party
are to make in the tariff.
The relations with Canada, the
message says, must continue to be
intimate and they should be friend
J ly. 1t regrets that the negotiations
with Great Britain for settlement of
disputes have continuously been
thwarted by unreasonable and un-
friendly objections and protests
from Canada. Attention is called to
the great advantages Canadian rail
ways enjoy, and the large profits
they make, by their unrestricted
running into United States terri
tory. at is hardly too much to
say" the message remarks, ''that the
Canadian Pacific and other railways
which parallel our northern bound
airy, are sustained by commerce hav-
ing either its origin, or the origin
ators, or both, in the United
States" The President recommends
consideration of the question whe-
ther the United States could not be
made Independent of Canada's
= canals by the construction of an Am
: erican canal around the Falls of
Niagara. He also says they should
withdraw the support now given to
g Canadian steamships and railways.
! The President describes it as an
intolerable and disgraceful condi-
tion of things that the nation should
3 continue to maintain foreign steam
1 ships, many of them under contract
with their governments by which,
in time of war, they would become a
. part of their armed naval establish
l ments. A wholesome change of
0 policy was begun by the law of

, tracts have been made for eleven

q quired under existing contracts is

and Argentine service. The con
tracts recently let for transatlantic
service will result in the construc-
n ton of five ships of 10000 tons each
