THE TURKISH SITUATION.

At the outset of a reference to the more
important matters affecting our relations
with foreign powers, 1t would afford me
satisfaction If I could assure the Congress
that the disturbed condition in Asiatic
Turkey had during the past year assumed
a less hideous and bloody aspect and that
either as a consequence of the awakenings
of the Turkish government to the demands
of humane civilization, or as the result of
decisive action on the part of the great ma
ton having the right by treaty to interfere
for the protection of those exposed to the
rage of mad bigotry and cruel fanaticism
the shocking features of the situation had
been mitigated. Instead. however of well
coming softened disposition protective
intervention We have been afflicted by con-
tinued and not unfrequent reports of the
wanton destruction of homes and the
bloody butchery of men, women and chill
dren, made martyrs to their profession of
Christian faith.
While none of our citizens in Turkey
have thus far been killed or wounded,
though often in the midst of dreadful
scenes of danger, their safety in the future
is by no means assured. Our government
at home and our minister al Constantine
pie have left nothing undone to protect our
missionaries In Ottoman territory, who
constitute nearly all the individuals resi6-
ing there, who have a right to claim our
protection on the score OF American citi-
zenship. Our efforts In this direction will
rot be relaxed; but the deep feeling and
sympathy that have been aroused among
our people ought not to so far blind their
reason and judgment as to lead them to
demand impossible things. The outbreaks
of blind fury. which lead to murder and
pillage in Turkey. occur suddenly and with
cut notice, and an attempt on our part to

Following is the full text of the annual
message sent to Congress today by Presi-
cent Cleveland:
To the Congress of the United States:
As representatives OF the people in the
legislative branch of their government. you
have assembled at time when the strength
and excellence of our free Institutions and
the fitness of our citizens to enjoy popular
rule have been again made manifest.
A political contest involving momentous
consequences, fraught with feverish appre-
hension, and creating aggressiveness so in
tense as to approach bitterness and passion,
has been waged throughout our land. and
determined by the decree of free and indie
pendent suffrage, without disturbance of
our tranquility or the least sign of weak
ness in our national structure.
When we consider these incidents and
contemplate the peaceful obedience and
manly submission which have succeeded
heated clash of political opinions, We dis
cover abundant evidence of a determination
on the part of our countrymen to abide by
every verdict of the popular will and to be
controlled at all times by an abiding faith
IN the agencies established for the direction
of the affairs of their government.
Thus our people exhibit patriotic dfspo-
stion which entities them to demand of
those who undertake to make and execute
their laws such faithful and unselfsh serv-
ice in their behalf as can only be prompted
by serious appreciation of the trust and
confidence which the acceptance of public
duty invites
In obedience to q constitutional require
ment. 1 herein submit to the Congress Ger
tain information concerning national af-
fairs. with the suggestion of such legisa-
ticn as in my judgment is necessary and
eApedient To secure brevity and avoid
tiresome narration. l shall omit many de-
tails concerning matters within federal con-
trol. which though by no means unimpor-
tant, are more profitaby discussed in de-
partmental reports. / shall also further
Curtail this communication by omitting a
minute recital of many minor incidents con-
nected with our foreign relations which
fave heretofore found place in executive
messages, but are row contained in a report
Of the Secretary Of State, which is here

THE CONSULAR SERVICE.

The scheme of examining applicants for
certain consular positions to test their COM
potency and fitness adopted under an ex-
ecutive order issued on the Goth of Septem-
Der, 1895. has fully demonstrated the use
fUlness of this innovation. In connection
with this plan of examination, promotions
and transfers OF deserving incumbents have
been quite extensively made, with excellent
results.
During the past year thirty-ffve appoint
ments have been made in the consular serv-
ice, twentyseven of which were made to
fill vacancies caused by death or resigna-
ton or to supply newly created posts, two
to succeed inc1mbents removed TO- cause,
two for the purpose of displacing alien con-
sular officials by American citizens, and
