Synopsis.

The presidents message was sent to
congress at noon to-day. The follow
ing is full synopsis of this important
document
The President opens his message
with review of foreign relations. In
treating of the instruction in Brazil
the message states that the President
has tailed to see that the insurgents
can reasonably claim recognition as
beIIigerents. He deems it necessary
to dIsavOw in a manner not to be mis-
understood, the unauthorized action
of our late naval commander in those
waters in saluting the revolutionist
Brazilian admiral, he beingindisposed
to countenance an act calculated TO
give gratuituous sanction to insure =
ionists. The question of the Chinese
registration is then touched u"on in a
brief history Of the Geary law. Its
passage, subsequent refusal Of Chinese
t. register, test case brought before
United States supreme court, upholding
of the law by said tribunal, and the
recent amendment Of an act extend
ing the time for registration are re-
capitulated. The fact that the law
was upheld by the supreme court and
amendment of the act induces the
President to express the opinion that
the Chinese will avail themselves Of
the privilege thus afforded to remain.
thereby decreasing, to large degree,
their enforced deportation. The sup
preston of the Congo slave trade is
strongly advocated; he urges negoti-
alton Of extradition treaty with Costa
RIGA and reciprocal extradition with
all those countries with which the
United States has not already con-
vention arrangements Of that kind.
The message then speaks Of the Behr-
ing sea question and says that
NEGOTIATIONS ARE IN PROGRESS
between the two governments with
view to such concurrent action which
will make award and regulations
agreed upon by the Behring sea t,ibu-
nal Of arbitration practically effective.
Regarding the dispute between the
United States and Honduras, over
firing upon an American mail steam
er because the captain refused to give
up a passenger on board, the govern
ment of Honduras disavowed the i'll
conduct of its officers. 1t L. confident
" expected that a sa satisfactory adjust
Ment will soon be reached Of ques-
lions arising out of seizure and use of
American vessels by insurgents in
Honduras and the subsequent denial
By the successful government Of COM
-Aerciai privileges to those vessels.
Relations between the United States
and New Mevico continue to be most
cordial. Referring to Nicaraguan Ca
nal, the President says the "Canal
company has finally become seriously
embarrassed financially. but generous
treatment has hecn extended to it by
the governor of Nicaraguan. The
United States is especially interested
IN the achievements of the vast under
taking. 1t should be accomplished
under distinctly American auspices,
and its enjoyment not only insured to
vessels of this country as channel of
communication between the Atlantic
and Pacific sea boards. but to ships Of
the world in
THE INTERESTS OF CIVILIZATION,
is a proposition which, in my
Judgment does not admit OF ques-
ton" The.Samoan question is review
ed at length. The final defeat of
Matafa induces the President to think
that the incidents leading up TO it
signaily illustrate the impolicy Of
entangIing alliances with foreign
powers. The numbering of mission
aries IN Turkey by Armenians is re-
called and the President saws the
Ottoman porte has affirmed pur-
pose to prevent the repetition of
bloody riots. The situation in
Hawaii is reviewed in part as follows ::
CATER a thorough and exhaustive
examination, Blonnt submitted to ME
his report showing beyond question
that the constitutional government of
Hawaii had been subverted with
the active aid of our repre-
sentative to that country
and through intimidation caused by the
armed presence of naval force of the
United States, landed for that pur-
pose at the instance Of our minister.
Upon facts developed it seemed to ME
the only honorable course for our gov
ernment to pursue, was to undo the
