 Greenbacks.

WASH1NGION, U. C., Dec. D. President Cleveland's message to con. gress deals with but two subjects, foreign relations and local financial conditions. He says:
 The present assem blaze of the legis- lative branch of our government occurs at a time when the interests of our peo- pie and the needs of the country give special prominence to the condition of our foreign relations and exigencies of our national finances. Therefore deem my executive duty adequately performed at this time by presenting to congress the important phases of our situation as relates to our intercourse with foreign | nations and statement of the financial problem which confronts us. President Cleveland notes the open ing of the free wool market in the Argentine Republic and also that the boundary differences between that nation and Brazil have been settled by arbitration, in which this country acted as arbitrator.
 The resumption of specie payment by Chili is regarded as evincing the ascen- dency of sound financial principles in that republic.
 The close of the Chinese Japanese war has developed domestic condition h the Chinese Empire which has called for prompt attention. Owing to the manifestation of the aversion of the Chinese to all foreign ways and under takings,. mob attacks on foreign mis- sions, causing much loss of life and property, have been the result. Although but one American suffered, it is plainly the part of this government to take prompt action and a special American commission has gone over land from Tien Tsin to demonstrate the readiness of our government to check similar ontbursts.
 ! The cordial relations with France have been undisturbed, with the exception that the treatment of John L. Waller, formerly United States Con- sul at Tamatav, Madagascar, remains to be explained. MT. Waller remained in Madagascar after his term of office expired having procured business con- sessions of value, and upon the declara- tion of martial law by the French he was arrested upon various charges, tried and convicted by military 1 tribunal and sentenced to twenty years in prison. This government requested the records of that tribunal. The record of proceedings and charges have been procured, but the evidence is still missing. Meanwhile, it appears MT. Walters confinement was not onerous. i The president recommends the acceptance of the French invitation to participate in the Paris exposition of 1900.
 l He especially recommends the recent resolution of the French cham bers, ] favoring a permanent treaty of erbitra- tion between the two countries. ] The close rivalries of com peting indus i tries, the influence of the delusive doctrine that the internal development of nation is promoted and it's wealth increased by policy which, in under taking to reserve it's home markets for the exclusive use of it's own producers, necessarily obstructs their sales in
 oreign markets and prevents free access to the products of the world, is the presidents summary of the trade con- ditions with Germany. The exports affected are largely American cattle and food products. But insurance com panies are also suffering The presi- dent suggests retaliatory measures. should an examination warrant them, while declaring the policy of this coun try as a producing nation should be marked with national good faith and reciprocal forbearance.
 An appropriation for the survey of the Alaskan boundary is recommended, as is also the sum of $425,00O in full settlement of the British sealing claims. A commission to settle the boundary lines with Canada is urged.
 In reference to Venezuela, the presi. dent maintains the Monroe doctrine, ip opposing a forcible increase by any European power of it's territory on this continent and suggests that Great Britain submit it's claims to arbitra. tion.
 The president touches briefly on the Hawaiian question, ending by saying: "Mr. Thurston, the Hawaiian minister, furnished abundant reasons for asking that he be recalled"
 A change in the alien laws is suggested which will check the vicious sy stem which at present overcomes the immigration and contract labor laws. i The president has no suggestions in the Nicaraguan case, but expects a peaceful settlement with such consider ation and indulgence toward Nicaragua as are consistent.
 The president asks legislation to break the treaty or agreement by which this country is jointly bound with England and Germany to assume management in Samoa.
 Special attention is called to the situation in Cuba and the strict
