WAsHINGTON, Dee. 3-The presl-
lents message was read this afternoon
II the opening session of the two houses
Ot congress. as follows:
To the Congress of the United States:
The asSemblage within the nations leg
iSlaUve halls of those charged with the
duty OF making laws for the benefit of a
generous and free people impreS,iveIy
suggests the eXacting obligation and in
eX0rable resp possibility involved in their
task. AT the threshold OF such labor
now to be undertaken by the congress
of the United States, and III the dis
charge of an executive duty enjOined
by the constitution, Lsubmit this cOm-
muuicatiOn, containing a brief state
ment Of the condition Of our national
affairs and recommending such Iegisla-
iiOn as seems 10 me necessary and eX-
pedieEt.
The history of our recent dealings
with other nations. and our peaceful
relations with them at this time, addi-
nona!ly demonstrate the advantage of
consistently adhering to firm and just
foreign policy, free from envOus or
ambitious national schemes and char
RcteriZ by entire honesty and SINGER
iIy.
During the past year, pursuant to a
law of congress, commissioners were
appointed to the Antwerp industrial
exposition. Though the participation
Of American exhibitors fell far short of
completely illustrating our national in
Eenuity and industrial achievements.
yet it was quite creditable in view of
The brief time allowed tor preparation.
l have endeaVOred to impress upon the
Belgian government the needleSSneSS
and positive h6rmfuineSS Of its reStrlc-
tOnS upOn-the i'm DOrtation of certain Of
our food products. and have strongly
urged that the rigid supervision and
Inspection under our laws are amply
sufficient to prevent the expectation
from this country Of diseased cattle and
uhWhOleSOme meat.
Neutrality in Brazil.
The termination of the civil war in
Brazil has been followed bv the
general prevalence of peace and or
der. 1t appearing at an early stage of
the insurrectiOn that its course would
call for unusual watchfulness on the
part Of this government, our naval force
in the harbOr Of Rio de JanerO was
strengthened. The precaution, | am
satisfied, tended 10 restrict the issue TO
a simple trial of strength between the
Brazilian government and the inSur-
gents. and 10 avert complications which
Bt times seemed imminent. Our
firm attitude OF neutrality was main
tanned to the end. The insurgents re-
ctiYed no encouragement of eventual
asylum from our commanders, and such
opposition as they encountered was for
tile protection Of our commerce,
and was fully justified by public
law. A very serious tension of
relations having ariseD at the
close or the war between RraziI and
Portugal by reason of the escape of the
inSuTgent admiral Da Cana and mis- fol-
lowers, the friendly Offices OF our rep
resentatives to those countries were eX-
erted for the protection Of the subjects
Of either within the territory OF the

Brazil was duly notified that the COM
