OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS,
Advantages of a Firm Bnt just FOREIGN
Policy Set Forth.

Advantages of a Firm Bnt just Foreign
Policy Set Forth.
Ihe history OF our recent dealings with
other nations, Il our peaceful relations
with them at this time additionally dem.
onstrate the advantage of consistently ad.
herring to a 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, and recommending the appropria-
ton OF a sufficient sum to carry out it's
provisions. The new government of Ha-
wall has been recognized. Anew extradi-
ton 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 her evil
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
n full equality in the family of nations.
The Japanese empire Of today is no longer
the Japan OF the past and our relations
'Ao OAAo pAOSICSS1Nt udUlOu SQOul0 nor he
less broad and liberal than with other
powers.
"' Our Southern Neighbors.
Good will fostered by many interests in
common has marked our relations with
O nearest Southern neighbors.
The uprising in Bluetields 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 u
government with his bereaved family and
the Russian people.
AS further demonstration of respect
and friendship our minister at St. Peters
burg was directed to represent our gov
a. the funeral ceremonies.
The seal ng 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-
strlctlve OF poaching on the Russian rock
erles and OF sealing in waters which were
not comprehended in the protected area
defined in the Paris award.
Ihe Samoan islands, over which Ger.
many, England and America have a tri-
partite protectorate, have been the scene
Of considerable disturbances. The tri-
partise 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 its engagements
with the other powers on some reasonable
terms not prejudicial to any of our exist
ing rights.

congress:
10 the congress of the United States:
The assemblage within the nations leg
islative halls of those charged with the
duty OF making laws for the benefit of a

THE NAVY.
secretary's Recommendation For New
Ships and Torpedo Boats Approved.

50CE6UdIy6 To . Ie"
Ships and Torpedo Boats Approved.
Attention is called to the report Of the
secretary of the navy, which shows very
gratifying progress in the construction Of
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.
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. SO
that unless new ships are authorized the
appropriations for the navy service for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1897, should fall
below the estimates for the coming year
by at least S12, 100000.

The department. expended in the fiscal
year 1892, e, 1854, 800; and out of that sum
the total amount expended in scientific
research was 5.6 per cent. Butin the year
ending June 80, 1891, out Of atotal expend-
iture of 81 ,94S,9 ss, 49,, the department APP
piled 81 per cent Of that sum to scientific
work and investigation. It is, therefore,
very plainly observable that the economies
which have been practiced in the admins
tration Of the department have not been.
at b eexpense of scientific research.

In recognition of the long and distin-
guished military services and faithful dis
charge of delicate and responsible civil
duties by Major General John M. Scho-
field, now the. general commanding the
army, it is suggested to congress that the
temporary revival of the grade of lieuten-
ant general in his behalf would be a just
and gracious act, and would permit his re-
tirement, now near at hand, with rank be-
fitting his merits.

At the Y. M. C. A.

Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Robert A.
Jordan of Bangor, addressed the mems
meeting at the Y. M. G. A., and was
greeted by the largest audience ever
gathered in the rooms. These meetings
have been constantly increasing in num-
Der and interest, and yesterday over
flowed the hall into the parlor and game
room. Undoubtedly many were attract
ed by the musical partof the programe
which was most inspiring.
Miss Lizzie M. Brown was given the
closest attention in her rendition of two
beautiful solos, and Capt. R. I. Davis, in
his usual whole-hearted way, led the
general singing with such force that the
whole audience seemed to throb with
song. At the after meeting four young
men arose for prayers.

THE PRovIDENT SOCIETY.
Annual Sermon Preached Last Evening
by Dr. Jenkins-An Interesting Personal
Connection with the Society's Past
Charity of Old and Now.

The annual sermon before the Proyi-
dent Society was preached last evening
by Rev. DR.. J. L. Jenkins of State street
church. As has been the invariable Gus
tom for many years, if not since the in
stitution of the services, this sermon was
preached i'll the First Parish church. The
audience was as large as the church
could comfortably hold, with all it's seat
ing capacity in galleries and floor. At
the close of his sermon, DIR. Jenkins
mentioned a fact which added not lit
tie to the sentimental interest of the &C.
casion. In looking over the first volume
of the society's records he had found
that in 1929, 1880 and 1881 his father was
one of the board of managers, and that
in 1881 the board had met at his fathers
house, but a few weeks before the latter's
death. DR.. jenkins said that in respond
ing to the request to preach this annual
sermon he felt that he was following in
the footsteps of that father whom he did
not remember.
Dr.. jenkins took as his text that pas
sage of Scripture which represents the
wise farmer of old giving barley and
corn to the Prophet Elisha for distribu-
ton among the sufferers from the pre-
vailing famine. DR.. Jenkins said that
this wise course of the farmer embodied
the precepts of the best system of chart
ty. Elisha was one of the educated men
OF that time, at the head of such insti-
tutions of enlightenment and healing as
there were. He was also well acquaint-
ed with the people among whom the
charity was to be applied, and not likely
to be imposed upon by the unworthy.
There were then and are now three great
agencies which combat poverty, educa-
ton, sanitation and carefully admins
tered aid. The better educated men are
the more likely are they to keep from
poverty. Statisticians estimate that an
able-bodied man is worth $1,000 to the
community. Such man educated is
worth much more. Tom Ewing, when a
boy, gave ten coonskins to found libra
ry in his Ohio town. That library is
known today as the s'coonskin library"
and has been great combattant of pow
erty. The prevention of disease is an
other great preventive of poverty. Clean
water, pure air, proper treatment of GER
tain diseases at their inception, will save
thousands of dollars to men and COM
munities. And finally, the proper adj
ministration of charity is the third and
last great agency for alternating distress.
The improper administration is produc-
tive of great evils, as England found in
the first year of this century. DR.. Jen-
kins referred to the fact that the Chris
tian church was turning more than ever
to charitable work, step in conformity
with its earliest traditions.
At the conclusion of the sermon the
collection was taken.

Boys Mob q Young Man.

An unoffending and rather simple
young man got into serious difficulty on
Congress street yesterday. In some way
large crowd of boys from the vicinity
of Washington street were led to pro-

missiles at him. They carried it to such
an extent that the young man was thor

Finally, he drew knife and made a
dash at the nearest. This made tho
boys more wary, and assisted by friends
the young man got home. A policeman
arrived on the scene as the disturbance
was closing, but made no arrests.
