"It has devolved upon the United States
minister at Peking, as dean of the diplo-
matte body, and i'm the absence of q repre-
sentative of Sweden and Norway, To- press
upon the Chinese government reparation
for the recent murder of Swedish mission
aries at Suugpu. This question Is olvital

"It is hardly necessary for me To- st1te
that the questions HrIsiug from our relu-
tions with Hawaii have caused serious
embarrasemeut After "a thorough aud
exhaustive examination Mr. Elount sub.
mIJlcd 90 me his report, showing beyond
pll question ,aJu the constitutional gov

with the active aid of our representative

instance of our minister.
"Cp0u the facts developed it seemed to
me the only honorable course for our gov
ernmont to pursue was TO undo the wrong
that had been done Dy those representing
us, and TO restore ass far as practicable the
status existing at the time Of our torcible
intervention.
"With a view of accomplishing this re-
uuIf gs-ftlip IIa constitutional lirtifg of
executive power. and recognizing all our
obligations and responsibilities growing
out of any changed conditions brought
about by our unjustifiable interference,
our present minister at Honolulu has re-
reived appropriate instructions to that
end.
"Thus far no information of the accom-
plishment of any definite results has been
received from him Additional advices
are soon expected. When received they
will be promptly sent to the congress, to
gether with u other information at hand
accompanied by a special executive mes

Regarding the Revenues.
"The secretary Of the treasury reports
that the receipts Of the treasury from ali
sources during the fiscal year ending June
| 80, 1888 amounted to 1851, 1861. "a and its
expenditures to 1858. 9.374, ,67429
at rs estimated upon the basis of pres
ent revenue laws that the receipts of the
| government for the year ending June 30,
| 1894, will be sf3O, l2l ,3G5.3S and its eXpend-
| itures Si5S, 12l, ,365.3S, resulting in a def
cheney of SIS, 100000.
"The recentrepeal of the provision of the
| law requiring the purchase of silver bull
ion by the government as feature of our
monetary scheme has made an entire
change in the complexion of our currency
affairs | do not doubt that the ultimate
result OF this action will be most salutary
and far reaching In the nEture of things,
however, it is impossible to know at this
time precisely what conditions will be
| brought about by the change. or what, if
any, supplementary legislation may, in
| the light of such conditions, appear to be
essential or expedient.
''Of course after the recent financial
perturbation, time is necessary for the re
establishment of business confidence. In
the pursuit of this object we should reso-
lutely turn away from alluring and tenn
porary eXpedients. determined to be con
tent with nothing less than a lasting and
comprehensive financial plan. In these
circumstances ! am convinced that rea-
sOnable delay in dealing with this subject
instead of being injurious will increase
the probability of wise action"
In reviewing the reports of the cabinet
officers the president devotes considerable
space to an argument against fees in the
attorney generals office, and has this to
say of the navy:
No New Navy Work.
I Is..t IL. of
stantly pursuing the aolicy we have inau-
gurated of building up thorough and
efficient navy, l cannot refrain from the
suggestion that the congress should care
fully take into account the number of I'M
finished vessels on our hands and the de
pleted condition of our treasury in consid.
ering the propriety Of an appropriation at
this time to begin new work. ~
The president speaks of wrongfuly is
sued pensions, and says
"Those who attempt in the line of duty
to rectify these wrongs should not be ac
cused OF enmity or indifference to the
claims of honest veterans. The sum eN
pended on account of pensions for the
| year ending June 30, 1893 was Sl56, 14O
4G7 IA. The commissioner estimates that
Sl65, 600, 600 will be required to pay pen
sions during the year ending June 30, 1894
"The continued intelli eut execution Ol
the civil service law and the increasing
approval by the people of its operation ar,
most gratifying. The course of civil ser
vice reform in this country instructively
and interestingly illustrates how strong a
hold a movement gains upon our people
which has underlying it "a sentiment o
Justice and right, and which at the same
time promises better administration o

Tariff Reform,
"After a hard struggle tariff reform il
directly before us. Manifestly if we arr
to aid the people directly through tariff
reform one of its most obvious features
should be Il reduction in present tariff
charges upon the uecessaries of life. Tht
benefits of such a reduction would b,
palpuble and substantial, seen and felt by
thousands who would be better fed and
better clothed and better sheltered.
