WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The following
Is President Cleveland's message to
congre IS:
To THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES:
The present assemblage of the legisla-
tive branch of our government occurs at
time when the interests of our people and
the needs of the country give especial
prominence to the condition of our for
eign relations and the exigencies of our
national finances. The reports Of the
heads of the several administrative de-
partments of the government fully and
dlainly exhibit what has been accom-
plished within the scope of their respec-
tive duties and present such recommended
tions for the betterment of our
country's condition as patriotic and
intelligent labor and observation suggest.
I therefore deem my executive duty
adequately performed at this time by pre-
senting to congress the important phases
of orr situation, as related to our inter-
course with foreign nations and state
ment of the financial problems which con-
front US, emitting, except as they are re.
late 10 these topics, any reference to de-
partmental operations.

occurred. On March : last, the Alliance,
while bound from Colon to New YorS.
and following the customary track for
vessels near the Cuban shore, but outside
the three mile track, was fired upon by q

made by the United States against this
act as not being justified by state of
war, nor permissible in respect of vessels

THE FREE COINAGE OF SILVER.
The President Cannot See How It Could

The President Cannot See How It Could
~ Cure Prevailing Ills.
I have constantly had in mind the fact
that many of my countrymen, whose sim
cerity do not doubt, insist that the cure
for the ills now threatening us may be
found in the single and simple remedy of
the free coinage of silver. They contend
that our minis shall be at once thrown
open to the free, unlimited and indepen-
dent coinage of both gold and silver dol
lars of full legal tender quality, regardless
of the action Of any Other government and
in full view of the fact that the ratio be-
tween the metals which they suggest calls
for 100 cents worth Of gold in
the gold dollar ut the present standard
and only 20 cents in intrinsic worth OF
silver in the silver dollar
Those who believe that our Independent
free coinage of silver ut an artificial ratio
with gold of 16 to would restore the
parity between the metals, and conse.
sauently berween the coins, uphold an un-
supported and improbable theory to the
general belief and practice Of other ma
lions and to the teaching Of. the wisest
statesmen and economists of the world,
both in the past and present, and what IL
far more conclusive, they run counter to,
our own actual experiences. Twice In our
earlier history our lawmakers in attempt
ing to establish q bimetallic currency un-s
dertook free coinage upon ratio which
accidentally vs:ied from the actual rela-&
tive values Of the two metals not more
tnan 8 per cent. In both cases, notwith-
s anding greater difficulties and cost OF
transportation than now exist, the coins
whose intrinsic worth was undervalued In
the ratio, gradually and surely disap-
peared from our circulation and went to I
other countries, where their real value
was better recognized Acts Of congress
were impotent to create equality where
natural causes decreed even slight in-
equality. ssa VA
In conclusion especially entreat the
peoples representatives in this congress
who are charged with the RESPONSE oility
of inaugurating measures for the safety
and prosperity of our common country to-
promptly and effectively consider the ills
Z of our critical financial plight, have
suggested a remedy which my Judgment
approves desire, however. to assure the
congress that am prepared to cooperate
with them in perfecting any other meas
ure promising thorough and practical re-
lief and that I will gladly labor with them
in every patriotic endeavor to further the
interests and guard the welfare Of our
countrymen whom. in our respective
places of duty we have undertaken to
serve.

THE VENEZUELAN DISPUTE.

Further Increase of European Power
ON This Continent Protested Against.
It being apparent that the boundary
dispute between Great Brita n and the re-
public of Venezuela concerning the limits
of British Guiana was approaching an
acute stage, definite statement of the
interest and policy Of the United States
as regards the controversy seemed to be
required both on it's own account and in
view of it's relations with the friendly
lowers directly concerned. In July last,
therefore. dispatch was addressed t.
our ambassador at London for communi-
cation to the British government in which
the attitude of the United States was
fully and distinctly set forth The gem
eral conclusions therein reached and
formulated are, in substance, that the
traditional established policy of this gov
eminent is firmly opposed to forcible in
crease by any European power of its ter
ritorial uos e. ions on this continent; that
this policy is9as we'll founded in principle
as it is 3 ron9ly supported by numerous
precedent, tina rs CONSCIENCE the
United States Is Bound to Protest
against the enlargement of the era of
British Guiana in derogation o. the rights
and against the will of Venezuela:
that considering the disparity In the
strength of Great Britain and Venezuela
the territorial dispute between them can
be reasonably settled only by friendly and
impartial arbitration and that the report
of such arbitration should include the
whole controversy, and is not satisfied II
one of the powers cor cerned is permitted
to draw an arbitrary line through the ter
ritory in debate and to declare that it will
submit to arbitration only the portion
| lying Oh one side of it. In view of these
conclusions the dispatch in question called
| upon the British government for definite
answer to the question whether it would
Or would not submit the territorial con-
| troversy between itself and Venezuela in
its entirety toimpartial arbitration.
The answer of the British government
has not yet been received but is expected
shortly, when further communication Or
the subject will probably be made to the
congress.

Presence of Our Naval Vessels WIN Az
ford Protection to Citizens. =
Occurrences in Turkey have continued to
excite concern. The reported massacres
of Christians in Armenia and the Sdevel-
opment there and in other districts of q
spirit of fanatic hostility to Christian in
fiuences naturally excited apprehension
for the safety of the devoted men and
women who, as dependents of the foreign
missionary societies in the United States,
reside in Turkey under the guarantee Of
the law and usage and in the legitimate
perft rmance of their educational ana re-
liQious mission No efforts have been
spared in their behalf and their protection
in person and property has been earnestly
and vigorously enforced by eveIy means
within orr mower " " G
regret, however, that an attempt on
our part to obtain better information coa-
corning the true condition Of affairs in the
disturbed quarters Of the Ottoman empire
by sending thither the United States consul
at Sives to make investigation and report
was thwarted by the objections of the
Turkish government. 45.
This movement on our part was in no
sense m.ant as gratuitous entanglement
of the United States in the so-called East
ern question, nor as an offcious interfer7
ence with the right and duty which be-
long by treaty to certain gre It European
powers, calling for their Intervention in
political matters affecting the good gov
eminent and religious freedom OF the
nom Mussulman subjects of the sultan,
but it arose solely from our desire to have
accurate knowledge of the conditions in
our efforts to care for those entitled to
our protection.
The presence of our naval vessels, which
are now in the vicinity of the disturbed
localities, affords opportunities to acquire
measure of familiarity with the condi-
tion of affairs, and will enable us to take
suitable steps for the protection of any
interests of our countrymen within reach
of our ships that might be found inn
periled.

there have occurred in widely separated

Although but one American citizen was
reported to have been. actually wounded,
and although the destruction Of property
