THE MESSAGE.

40 TIE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES:
The constitutional duty which requires the
president from time to time to give to the
congress Information of the state Of tho
Union, and recommend to their consideration
such measures as he shall Judge necessary
and expedisnt, is fttingly entered upon by
commencing to the congress a careful exam
ination Of the detailed statements and well
supported Recommendations contained In the
reports of the heads OF departments who are
chiefly charged with the executive work of
the government.
In an effort to abridge this commuI lcation
as much as IL consistent with its purpose |
shall supplement brief reference to the con-
vents OF these departmental reports by thu
mention of such executive business and Incl
sents as are not embraced therein, and by
SUCH recommendations rs appear TO be at this
particular time appropriate.
Our Foreign Relations.
While our foreign relations have not at all
times during the past year been entirely free
trofn perpleN, ty. no embarrassing situation
remains that will not yield TO the spirit OF
fairness and love Of justice. which, Joined
with consistent nrmness, characterize a truly
American foreign policy
MY predecessor. having accepted the office
OF arbitrator Of the long standing misSions
boundary dispute. rendered to the president
By the Argentine Republic and Brazil, it has
been my agreeable duty to receive the special
ENJOYS commissioned by those states TO lay
before me evidence and arguments In behalf
OF their respective governments.
i he utbreak OF domestic hostilities in the re-
public OF Brazil found the United States alert
TO watch the interests of our citizens in that
country. with which we carry on important
com uerce. Several vessels OF our new navy
are now, and for some time have been, sta
toned a. Rio de- Isneiro.
The struggle being bets the established
government which controls the machinery OF
administration, and with which we maintain
friendly relations, and certain officers OF the
navy employing the vessels of their command
in an attack upon the national capital and
chief seaport, and lacking, as ii does, the ele-
meuts Of divided administrator, l have
failed TO see that the insurgents can reason
ably claim recognition as belnserents
Thus far The position OF our government has
