OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS.
Advantages Of . Firm Bnt just Foreign
Policy Set Forth.

Advantages Of . Firm Bnt Just Foreign
Policy Set Forth.
The history Of, our recent dealings with
y other nations, and our peaceful relations
with them at this time additionally dem
onstrate the advantage of consistently adj
herring to firm but just foreign policy,
free from envious or ambitions national
schemes, and characterized by entire hon
esty and sincerity.
The president then details our dealings
with Brazil, Chill, France, Portugal,
Germany, touching upon the Behring sea
award, aud recommending the appropriar
ton of . sufficient sum to carry: out it's
provisions. The new government of Ha-
waii has been recognized. A new extradi-
tion treaty with Italy is needed, but efforts
in that direction have so far been unavail-
ing.
Apart from the war in which the island
empire is engaged Japan attracts increas-
ing attention in this country by herevi-
dent desire to cultivate more liberal inter-
course with us and to seek our kindly aid
in furtherance of her laudable desire for
complete autonomy in her domestic affairs
and full equality in the family of nations.
The Japanese empire of today is no longer
the Japan of the past and our relations
with this progressive nation should not be
less broad and liberal than with other
powers.
Our Southern Neighbors.
Good will fostered by many SSterests in
common has marked our relations with
our nearest Southern neighbours:
The uprising in Bluefelds at one time
promised serious results, but was satisfac-
torily settled.
Modus Vivendi With Russia.
The recent death of the car of Russia
called forth appropriate expressions Of
sorrow and sympathy on the part of our
government with his bereaved family and
the Russian people. - r.. =
AS a further demonstration of respect
and friendship our minister at St. Peers
burg was directed to represent our gov
eminent at the funeral ceremonies.
The sealing interests OF Russia in Behr-
ing sea are second only to our own. A
modus vivendl has therefore been con-
cluded with the imperial government re-
strictive of poaching on the Russian rock
cries and of sealing in waters which were
not comprehended in the protected area
defined in the Paris award.
The Samoan islands, over which Ger.
many, England and America have a tri-
partite protectorate, have been the scene
of considerable disturbances. The tri-
partite agreement is not altogether salts
factory, and congress is asked to express
its judgment as to the propriety of steps
being taken by this government, looking
to the withdrawal from it's engagements
with the other powers on some reasonable
terms not prejudicial to any Of our exist
ing rights

THE NAVY.

Secretsry's Recommendation For Now
Ships and Torpedo Boats Approved.
Attention il called to the report of the
secretary Of the navy, which shows very
gratifying progress in the construction of
ships for our new navy. All the vessels
now building, including the three torpedo
boats authorized at the last session of
congress and excepting the first class bat
tleship Iowa, will probably be completed
during the coming fiscal year. 49,
The estimates. for the increase Of the
navy for the year ending June 80, 1896, are
large, but they include practically the en-
tire sum necessary to complete and equip
all new ships not now in commission. 20
that unless new ships are authorized the
appropriations for the navy service for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1891, should fall
below the estimates for the coming year
by at least e12, OO0, 000
Recommends New Ships.
The secretary presents with much earn
estness q plea for the authorization of
three additional battleships, and ten or
twelve torpedo boats. While the unarmed
vessels heretofore authorized, including
those now nearing completion, will con-

In recognition of the long and distin-
