rltory with sufficient iTigeS and that
this court should sit within the territory
and have the same jurisdiction as to
territorial affairs as is now vested IN the
federal courts sitting in Arkansas and
Texas.
THE UNION PACIFIC RAILWAY.
Another subject of pressing moment
referred to bv the encouragement is the
reorganization OF the Union PACING kall-
way Company on Il basis equitable as
regards all private interests and as lavor-
able to the government as existing con.
ditions will permit. The operation OF
a railroad by court through a receiver
is an anomalous state OF things which
should be terminated on all grounds,
public and private, at the earliest pos
sible moment. Besides, not to enact the
needed enabling legislation at the pres
ent session postpones the whole matter
until the assembling OF a new congress,
and inevitably increases all the compll-
cations of the situation, and could not
but be regarded as signal failure to
solve a problem which has practically
been before the present congress ever
since its organization.
Eight years ago, in my annual mes
sage, | urged upon congress as strongly
as could the location and construction
of two prisons for the confinement OF
United States prisoners. A similar rec
ummendation has been made from time
to time since, and few years ago a law
was passed providing for the selection OF
sites for these institutions. No appro-
priation has, however, been made to
carry the act into effect, and the old and
discreditabe condition still exists. 1t is
not my purpose at this time to repeat
| the considerations which make an i'm
pregnable case in favor of the ownership
and management by the government oi
penal institutions in which the federal
prisoners are confined. | simply desire
to again urge my former recommends
tions on the subject and TO particularly
call the attention of congress to that part
OF the report OF the secretary of war, in
which he states that the military prison
at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, can bt
turned over to the government as {
prison for federal convicts without the
least difficulty and with an actual saving
of money from every point of view
Pending more complete reform, | hope
that by the adoption of the suggestion
of the secretary of war this easy stel
may be taken in the direction of the
proper care OF its convicts by the gov
ernment of the United States.

message as read in congress today:

the duty OF making laws for the benefit
OF generous and free people impress

statement OF the condition Of our ma

legislation as seems " me necessary and

Department of Justice.

The report oi the attornev-general
notes the gratifying progress made by
the supreme court in overcoming the ar
rears OF its business and in reaching a
condition in which it will be able to dis
pose OF the cases as they arise without
any reasonable delay. This result is. of
course, very largely due to the success.
iu working OF the plan inaugurating cir
cut courts OF appeals. In respect to
these tribunals suggestion is made in
quarters entitled to the highest consid-
GRAFTON, that an additional circuit iudpe
Tor each circuit would greatly strengthen
these courts and the confidence reposed
in their adjudications, and that such an
addition would not create greater force
of judges than the increasing business of
such courts requires. | commend the
suggestions to the careful consideration
OF congress. Other important TOPICS are
advocated in the report ACCOMPANIED
by recommendations, many of which
have been treated Mt large in preyiops
messages and at this time, therefore
heeu only be named. | refer to the
abolition OF the fee system as measure
OF compensation to federal officers; the
enlargement OF the powers of United
states commissioners ut least i'm the ter.
rltorles; the allowance Of writs of error
IN criminal cases on behalf OF the United

by congress in the crime OF murder. 4
topic dealt with by the encouragement

The War Department.

From the report OF the secretary of
war it appears that the strength OF the
army on September 80, 1894, was 2,lS5
officers and 25,765 enlisted men. Al
though this is apparently very slight
decrease, compared with the previous
year, the actual effective force has been
to the equivalent OF nearly two
regiments through the organization of

vessels, when the goods in question were
entitled to free entry; fines have Deeh
exacted even when the error has Deen
detected and the Spanish AUTHORITIES
notified before the arrival OF goods IN
port. This conduct is in strange con-
trast with the considerate and liberal
treatment extended to Spanish vessels
and cargoes in our ports i'll l'';" ""s"'.
No satisfactory settlement OF these cAa-
tious questions has been yet reached.
The Mora case, referred TO in my last
message, remains unsettled. From the
diplomatic correspondence on this sub
iect, which has been laid before the
senate, it will be seen that this govern
ment has offered to conclude a Conven-
tion with Spain for disposal by arbitra-
tion OF outstanding claims against the
two countries, except the Mora claim,
which, having been long ago adjusted,
now only awaits the permits as stipu-
lated, and, of course, it could not be in
cluded in the proposed convention. 1t
was hoped that this offer would remove
the parliamentary obstacles encoun-
tered by the Spanish government in
providing payment OF the Mora indem-
nifty. regret to say that no definite
reply to this offer has yet been made,
and all efforts to secure payment of
this unsettled claim have been unavail-
ing.
EXPULSION OF ARMENIANs BY TURKEY.
In my last annual message | adverted
to the claim on the part of Turkey OF
the right to eXpel, as persons undesira-
BILE and dangerous, Armenians natural
lied in the United States and returning
to Turkish jurisdiction. Numerous
questions in this relation have arisen.
While this government acquisced in the
the asserted right of expulsion, it would
not consent that Armenians may be i'm
prisoned or otherwise punished for no
other reason than having acquired,
without imperial consent, American
citizenship. Three of the assailants OF
Miss Moulton, an American teacher in
Mosul, have been convicted by the
Ottoman courts, and | am advised that
an appeal against the acquittal of the
remaining five has been taken by the
Turkish prosecuting officer.
A convention has been concluded
with Venezuela for the arbitration OF a
long disputed claim growing out of the
seizure of certain vessels, the property
of citizens of the United States.
Although signed, the treaty of extra
dition with Venezuela is not yet in
force, owing to the insstence OF that
government, that, when surrendered
its citizens shall in no case be liable tc
capital punishment.
TO PREVENT COLLISIONS AT SEA.
The rules for the prevention OF col.
lisons at sea, which were framed by the
maritime conference, held in this city in
1889, having been .concurrently incor.
ported in the statutes OF the United
States and Great Britain, have been
announced to take effect March /, 1895
and invitations have been extended tC
all maritime nations to adhere to them
Favorable responses have thus far beer
received from Australia, France, Portu
gal, Spain and Sweden.

that the people We're in earnest, and
he thought it was his duty to help

the two old parties from 1861 to the

contradiction how they had fooled
