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
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, Chilli, 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
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
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 Neigl,bors.
Good will fostered by many interests in
common has marked our relations with
our nearest Southern neighbors.
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. ~. =
AS 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 vivend1 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 q 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 secretary also again recommends

that no money be appropriated for that

The advantages of civil service reform
are constantly more apparent Recent ex-
tensions have been made in classified lists

The establishment of national board

THE NAVY.

secretary's Recommendation For New
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
ships for our new navy. All the vessels
now building, including the three torpedo
boats authorized ct 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 tho increase of the
navy for the year ending June 80, 1885, 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, 1897, should fall
below the estimates for the coming year
by at least 81, 900, 900
Recommends New Ships.
The secretary presents with much earn
estness a 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-
stitute q feet which it is believed is suffi-
Gent for ordinary cruising purposes in

THE PARADE
WITNESSED BY THoUsANDsl
Tie Procsssion of Sells Bros. Great Show
 Pleasing to All.

This morning nj II o'clock the pa rade of Sells Bros. Mammoth Shows was witnessed by thousands. Every thoroughfare, balcony and window along Che line of the procession was crowded with spectators. and there was q general expression of satisfac- ton with the parade.
 fhe parade was at least mile long and indicates Il good show. One of the most noticeable features of the parade was the fine horses, which made magnificent appear ance. The five mammoth elephants also excited no small degree of atten- ton, and these were followed by six meek and subdued looking dromeda- ties. G7he open cages of lions, tigers and hippotimi caused the women and children to shudder. The two latter were undoubtedly the largest ever seen in this city The floats, repre- sentihg santa Claus, Cinderella and Red Riding Hood were also attrac- tfvefeatures. There were three bands in the procession, the rear end of which was brought up by steam ealliope, There were also a large number of fine looking horses, mag ailieen tly caparisoned and mounted by male and female circus riders ill brilliant attire, which was also a pleasing feature of the procession.
 This show appeared in Little Rock yesterday and in speaking of the menagerie and performance the Ga zette says
 .sThere is much to comment in the Sells aggregation as an ideal circus. The menagerie is well selected and affords study of infinite interest. The elephants are as big and curious. the lions and tigers are as fierce in appearance, the performing seals are as clever, and the ensemble as com plete and varied as the cireus-erazed public could wish for The immense spread of canvass covers q Roman hippodrome race track, q fifty cage menagerie, triple circus, elevated stages. ayiary, Arabian caravan, aquarium, spectacular pageants and wild west exhibits

THE WRONG MAN.

There are accidents, though pain ful, that are none the less amusing to all except the victim, and one of them occurred on q railroad train the other day which wns bounl from New York to this city, On the train was New Orleans man and his wife and 1t appears thatthe husband had contracted severe cold and was quite i'll with pain in his chest. The condition Of her husband caused the wife mnch concern, and sine nursed him with the greatest care and attention. The wife was one of those thoughtful little womeu who, when they start on q journey, go prepared for such things as acs eidents and unexpected illness, and among the medicines and bandages she had in liershand- bag were annm- berof mustard plasters, says the New Orleans States

The sick man also slept soundly. bnt his breathing was heavy This alarmed the watching wife, and the idea oe- cured fo her that if she placed q mustard plaster on his breat with out waking him he would be mush better in the morning. The hand bag was opened and stealing softly back into the washroom of the sleeper. she moistened the mustard plaster,
