THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
1t Will BE Devoted Mainly to Our For
eign ReIat iOns and Money Question.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2-The message of
President Mckinley will be devoted prac-
tically to the subjects of our foreign rela-
tons and the currency problems. 1t will
be unique in one respect, in that it ignores
the great bulk of matters usually consti-
tuting the departmental portions of presi-
Dental annual messages. There is scarcely
4 reference to the subject matter of the
annual reports of the Cabinet, the Presi-
dents purpose being to call attention only
to ta more important affairs of the gov
eminent. For this reason the postal saw
ings project of the postmaster general is
not discussed in the message. While the
details of the currency plank are not def
nitely known, it can be authoritatively
stated that it is in the main an incorpora-
ton of the views submitted by Secretary
Gage, though as to details the President
leaves himself freedom of action by not
taking any position with reference to sew
eral features of the secretary's plan, while
indorsing its main object.
A strong presentation of the Hawaiian
question IS made, and Congress is urged to
take immediate action by ratification of the
treaty of annexation. This part of the
message strongly depicts the necessity for
making the island part of the domain of
the United States. and reviews advantages
that would accrue to the country by its
possession.
AS to Cuba, the message calls attention to
refers to the scheme of autonomy just Of
fered by Spain, and, after reciting other
developments In the situation reaches the
virtual conclusion that existing circum-
stances do not warrant interference in the
affairs of the island.
Considerable attention is paid to the ques-
ton Of reciprocity negotiations with vari-
Gus countries in Europe Special Commits
sfoner Kasson has been working on this
subject for some time. and the message
deals with some of the developments of
negotiations already had, and expresses
the hope of the administration to secure
satisfactory results in the future The
policy of the administration on this subject
is outlined and. citing French champagnes
as an illustration. the point is made that
II special concessions are given any for
eign products the United States must be
given equal treatment by reciprocal con-
cessions. The Alaskan problem is discussed
at some length, and a plea is made for con-
gressional legislation, including the extern
sion of the operation of the public land
laws and the granting of rights of way for
may be made more accessible.

man has closed the case of Emile Clark
consular agent at Piura, Peru, which at
tracted much attention some months ago
by calling for the resignation of Clark. on
April % last Clark was ousted from the
quarters used below as the United States
consular office and above as a residence 1t
was stated at the time that the consulate
had been sacked. the house plundered and
an 1ndignity put on this government
through it's representative The State De-
partment promptly called on Mr.. Clark for
particulars, which he said he would furnish
Inc peruvian minister put different phase
on the matter by submitting a statement
tnat clark was in arrears to Il consider
able amount for rent for the building; that
Sular purposes, although he had placed the
United States coat of arms on all the doors
of the house, thus using the American en-
blem for ignohle purposes The courts had
given regular DEGREES against Clark, it was
stated, directing him to vacate the premises
Tor nonpayment of rent, and in pursuance
OF this decree he was elected.
Secretary Sherman waited until recently
Tor Mr.. Clarks statement, and as this was
not furnished, after five months, the sec
rotary directed our minister at Lima, Mr.
dudley. to call on Clark for his resignation
unless the proofs of the alleged sacking
were at hand. Mr. Dudley evidently had
not received the proofs, for he has notified
the state Department that he has called
on Mr.. Clark for his resignation.
