NJ tho scene OF this disturbance by their con-
slant exhibition OF nrmneB ana good iudg-

more serious consequences and 10 tho restora'

regret that In tho midst OF these occur.
rences there opened up most grave Irritating
failure OF Nicara ,uan justice An American
citizen named Wilson, residing at Rama, IN
tho mosquito territory was murdered by ono
Arguolio, tho acting governor OF tho town
After some delay tho murderer was arrested,
but so insecurity confined or guarded that no
escaped, and Notwithstanding our re peated
demands II Is claimed that his rocapture has
been impossible by reason OF his flight beyond
Ncaraguan jurisdiction,
The Nicaraguan authorities having given
notice OF forfeiture OF their concession TO
the canal company on grounds purely
technical and not embraced IN the
contract recedod from tlat position
Peru, regret 10 say, shows symptoms OF
domestic disturbance, due probably TO the
slowness OF her rocuperatIon from the war OF
1851 Weakened In resources nor difficulties
In facing International OBLIGATIONS invite our
kindly sympathy and justify our forbearance
In pressing long pending claims 1 have felt
constrained TO testify this sympathy IN con-
noctlon with certain demands urgently pro-
fcrred by other powers
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 ut ST. Petersburg was
directed TO represent our government at the
funeral ceremonies
Under our pre- ,ent treaties OF oxtradtion
with Italy miscarrlagos Of justice have oc.
Cured owing to tho refusal Of that govern'
ment to surrender its own subjects Thus
far our efforts TO negotiate an amended con.
ventlon obyiating this dlfiioulty have been ul.
aYaling
Apart from tho war In which the island ON.
pire Is engaged Japan attracts increasing at
tention In this country by her evident desire
to cultivate more liberal intercourse with us
and seek our kindly aid In furtherance o her
laudabe desire for complete autonomy in her
domestic affairs and full equality in the family
OF nations The Japanese empire Of day is
no longer tho Japan OF the past and our rea.
lions with this progressive nation should not
be less broad and liberal than those with
other powers
Relations with Mexico.
Good will fostorod by many interests In
common has marked our relations with our
nearest southern neighbor
Peace being restored along her northern
frontier, Mexico has asked tho punishment Of
the late dIsturbers Of her tranquility There
ought TO BIO q new treaty Of commerce and
navigation with that country to take the
place Of the Qne which terminated thirteen
years ago Tho frendlineS5 OF The inter.
course between the two countries Is attested
by the fact during this long period The com.
MERGE OF each has steadily increased under
the rulo OF mutual consideration, being neither
stimulated by conventional arrangements nor
retarded by Jealous rlvalrles or selfish desires,
An indemnity rendered by Mexico as o
gracious act for THO murder In 1887 OF Leon
Baldwin an American citizen, by band Of
in Durango has been accepted and
Is being paid in ipytlllmenta
The problem OF the stora 20 and use OF the
waters OF the Rio Grande for irrl cation
should BIO solved by appropriate concurrent
action Of the two interested countries Rls. |
