EMERGENCY on THE Array.
II Is hardly necessary to recall the fact that
in obedience to the commands Of the constitu-
ton and the laws, and for the purpose Of pro-
Of the porceSS OF the federal courts and re-
moving lawless distractions to the perform
ance by the government OF Its legitimate
functions, it became necessary. in various
localities, during thesyear, to employ q con-
siderable portion OF the regular troops.
The duty was discharged promptly, courage
ously and with marked discretion by the
officers and men. and the most graft
flying proof was thus afforded that the army
deserves that complete confidence in its efficf-
ency and discipline which the country has at
all times manifested. The year has been free
from disturbances by Indians, and the chances
of further depredations on their part are con-
stantly growing more and more remote and
improbable.

ArroRyEy-cENERaI,s REPORT.

NJ y hAsE
The report of the attorney-general notes the
in overcoming the arrears of its business and
in reaching n condition in which it will be able
to dispose of cases as they arise without any
unreasonable delay. This result is, of course,
very largely due to the successful working OF
the plan iuaugurating circuit courts OF appeals.
In respect to these tribunals the suggestion is
made. in quarters entitled to the highest con-
Sideration, that an additional circuit
judge for each circuit would greatly
strengthen these courts and the
confidence repoSed in their adjudications,
and that such an addition would not create 4
greater force of judges than the increasing
business of such courts requires. / commend
the suggestion to the careful consideration of
the congress. Other important topics are ad-
verified to, accompanied by recommendations,
many of which have been treated ut large in
previous messages and at this time, therefore.
need only be named l refer to the abolition OF
the fee system as a measure OF compensation
TO federal officers; the enlargement of the pow
erS of United States commissioners at least in
the territories; the allowance of writs
OF error in criminal cases on behalf
of the United States and the establishment Of
degrees in the crime of murder.
UNITED STATES PRISONS
Eight years ago in my annual message I
urged upon the congress as strongly as | could
the location and construction of two prisons
for the confinement Of United States prisoners.
A similar recommendation has been made
from time to time since, and q few years ago a
sites for three such institutions. No appro-
priation has, however, been made to carry the
act into effect and the old and discreditable
condition still exists.

wxs followed by an instruction, which for q
tame subverted Nicaraguan rule expeling her
officers and restoring the old organization.
This, in turn gave place to the existing local gov
m established and upheld by Nicaragua.
The Nicaraguan authorities having given nc
tice Of forfeiture Of their concession to the
canal company on grounds purely technical.
and not embraced in the contract, have receded
from that position.
THE CARS DEATH.
The recent death Of the car of Russia called
forth the appropriate expressions Of sorrow
and sympathy on the part OF our government
with his bereaved family and the Russian peo-
pie: as q further demonstration Of respect anc
friendship our minister ut St. Petersburg was
directed to represent our government at the
funeral ceremonies.
RUSSIA IN HRIN Z
The sealing interests Of Russia in Behring
sea are second only to our own. A modus
vivendi has therefore been concluded with
the imperial government restrictive OF poach-
Ing on the Russian rockerles and OF sealing In
waters which were not comprehended in the
protected area defined in the Paris award.
THE EZETA CASE.
The president briefly reviews the case Of the
panions. with the action Of this government in
the premises.
INJUSTICE.
Attention is called to the exorbitant and IN
just penalties inflicted by the Spanish authori-
ties in Cuba against American vessels and their
cargoes on the most trivial pretexts. The
Mora indemnity has not yet been paid and there
seems to be no immediate prospect OF collect
ing it.
TURKY AND THE
In my last annual message l adverted to the
claim on the part of Turky Of the right to eXpel
as persons undesirable and dangerous Ar
menians naturalized in the United States and
returning to Turkish jurisdiction. Numerous
questions in this relation have arisen. While
this government acquieSces in the asserted
right of expulsion it will not consent that
Armenians may be imprisoned or otherwise
punished for no other reason than having
acquired, without imperial consent, American
citizenship. Three OF the assailants Of Miss
Melton, an American teacher in Mosul, have
been convicted by the Ottoman courts, and l
I'm advised that an appeal against the acquittal
of the remaining five has been taken by the
Tu rkiSh prosecuting officer.

The Navy Department.

Attention is called to the report OF the secre-
tary OF the navy, which shows very gratifying
progress in the construction of ships for our
new navy. ALI the vessels now building, in
Guiding the three torpedo boats authorized at
at the last session Of congress, and except the
first-claSs battleship owa, will probably be
completed during the coming fiscal year. The
estimates for the increase Of the navy for the
year ending June 30. 1895. are large, but they
include practically the entire sum necessary 90
complete and equip all the new ships not now
in commission. so that unless new ships are
authorized the appropriations for the naval
ser vice for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1897,
should fall below the estimates for the coming
year by at least Sl2. 100000.
A Plea FOR MORE BATTLEsHIPS.

ness, a plea for.the authorization Of three adj
ditional battleships and ten or twelve torpedo
boats. While the unarInore0v vessels hereto

The tariff act passed at the last session of
the congress needs important amendments il
it is to be executed effectively and with GER
tainty. In addition to such necessary amend
ments as will not change rates OF duty, l am
still very decidedly in favor Of putting coal and
iron upon the free list. So far as the sugar
schedule is concerned, I would be glad. under
existing aggrayatlons, to see every particle Of
diferential duty in favor Of refined sugar
stricken out of our tariff law. II, with all the
favor now accorded the sugar refining interest
in our tariff laws it still languishes to the ex-
tent of closed refineries and thousands Of dis
charged workmen, it would seem to present 8
hopeless case for reasonable Legislative aid.

# The Bible reading Tuesday after

any yet held. and the eager way in1
which the audience turned To the
various passages touched upon NV
Mr.. Hunt showed conclusively5 that
the Bible has not lost Its attracting
and saving power M. s
In the evening Mr.. Hunt faced "
large and expectant congregation tO
which he preached with great spirit
ual power from the text Thou art
the man. With eloquent language,
and with manner and gesture which
at times was intensely dramatic he
portrayed. the double sin OF David.
He showed by the conduct Of the
Jewish king that men often condemn
in others sins which they themselv es
commit and which like David they
vainly seek to cover. Be sure your
sin will find you OUT applies to-
every one, and God will sometime Or
other expose 1t. David sinned pri-
vately, but God knew Of 1t and pro-
claimed 1t publicly. Nathan went to-
him with the parable of the eve

the enormity Of his guilt was vivid

heart there reign sin and worldliness.
With too many religion ia but q for
NAL matter destitute Of joy and
many who profess such religion cher
ish hidden sin, and no one who does
that can have the Joy of winning

pointed out very clearly that lit is q
hard thing to serve Christ when
there is no Christ in the heart -
After dwelling fully upon the guilt
of David and the degradation Of SIM.

Mr.. Hunt with great beauty Of
thought and language, shaved that
God was ready to forgive men their

them, and closed with a soul stirring
appeal to accept Christ. The sermon
was part of a trea tment of the fifty.

the after meeting which followed the

Union Gospel Meetings..

The best meeting yet was the
verdict passed by many on the
meeting Wednesday night. Certainly
( in point of numbers it was even an
imprOyeinent upon the proceeding
night, while the deepened spiritual
Interest was clearly observable.
\ With much freedom Mr.: Hunt spoke
upon the subject. 'One Thing ! Have lave
4 Lacked The story Of the rich
]. young man who came to Christ was
yividy described, his eagerness to
know the way of salvation and
which. was evinced by his Running
to the saviour, was in striking
contrast to the indifference shown
by 80 many. The yonng man had
many excellent moral traits, he was
IL good young man, but one thing ne
lacked land that was eternal lffe.s
He allowed lis riches to stand be
tween himself and Christ. a great
many people will do +he same thing,
if not riches it is something else.
Then too the idea of eternal life
which some: have is wrong, they
think it Is only for the hereafter.
The need Of the new. book was
clearly set forth. Not one ut us"
said the speaker ''is. without sin, the
difference between is some are saved
sinners and some are not" Some
telling and appropriate illustra tons
were used to show how the break
ing OF God g law incapacitates men
and that all have broken the law
so there 1 is need Of salvation for
everyone. No Zone can be saved BY
I his own merits but all can be saved
by coming to Jesus Christ. And as
Christ alone can save SO he alone Is
I our example Christ did not say
follow Il creed or, follow q church,
but follow me-" In closing Mr.. Hunt
SAID. 1--WE must cruelty SELF or Christ
we cannot have both. Christ says
tonight, Zone thing thou lackest let
L him in. to your heart that he may
have the first place In your heart
4 One very strong point with Mr..
Hunt and which contributes SO
largely to his means in leading souls
4 to Christ Is his firm hold upon and
knowledge Of the Bible. He speaks
with no uncertain sound no doubt
AZ to Gods word enters the mind.
I With him when the Bible speaks 1t is
"a Thus saith the Lord. = And In
consequence at this firm conviction
ne speaks with q certainty and

Z weight with his hearers. "A large
