THE CHINESE EMPIRE.

The United States has not been an in
different spectator of the extraordinary
events transpiring in the Chinese en-
pire. whereby portions of its maritime
provinces are passing under the control
e. various European powers; but the
prospect that the vast commerce which
the energy of our citizens and the ne
cessty of our staple productions for
Chinese uses has built up-in those re-
gions may not be prejudiced through
any exclusive treatment by the new
oceupauts has obViated the need of our
country becoming an actor in the scene.
Our nosition among nations, having
large Pacific coast and a constantly eX-
handing direct trade with the farther
Orient. gives US the equitable claim TO

This regard, and it viii be my aim TO

HAWAII.

Pending the consideration by the
Senate of the treaty signed June IS,
1897, by the plenipotentiaries of the
United States and of the republic of
Hawaii, providing for the annexation
of the island, joint resolution to ac-
complish the same purpose by accept
ing the offered cession and incorporat-
ing the ceded territory into the Union,
was adopted by the congress and APP
proved July 7, 1898.
1 thereupon directed the United
States ship Philadelphia to convey
Rear Admiral Miller to Honolulu and
intrusted to his hands this important
legislative act, TO be delivered to the
president Of the republic of Hawaii,

States minister We're authorized to

PRIVATE PROPERTY AT SEA.

The experiences of the last year
bring forcibly home to us sense of
burdens and the waste of 1--WE de-
sire, in common with most civilized ma
tions, to reduce to the lowest possible
point the damage sustained in time of
war by peaceful trade and commerce.
1t is true, we may suffer in such cases
less than other communities, but all
nations are damaged more or less by
the state of uneasiness and apprehen-
sion into which an outbreak of hostil-
tiles throws the entire commercial
world.
1t should be our object, therefore, to
minimize so far as practicable this in
eVitable loss and disturbance. This
purpose can probably best be accom-
plished by an international agreement
to regard all private property at sea as
exempt from capture or destruction by
the forces of belligerent powers. The
United States government has for many
years advocated this humane and bene-
fcent principle and is now in position
to recommend 1t to other powers with
out the imputation of selfish motives.
l therefore suggest for your consid-
Grafton that the executive be authorized
to correspond with the governments of
the principal maritime powers with a
view of Incorporating into the perma-
nent law of civilized nations the prin-
ciple of the exemption of all private
property at sea, not contraband of war,
from capture or destruction by bellig-
erent powers.

TIE CERRUTl CLAIM.

Following close upon the rendition of
the award of my predecessor as arbi-
traitor of the claim of the subject, Ger
ruti against the republic of Colombia,
differences arose between the parties to
the arbitration in regard to the scope
and extension of the award, of which
certain articles were contested by Co
lombia. while italy claimed their literal
fulfllment. The award having been
made by the president of the United
States as the act of friendly cOnsidera-
ton, and with the sole view to an i'm
partial composition of the matter In
dispute, ] could not but feel deep con-
Germ at such a miscarriage. and, while
unable to accept the Colombian theory

Of the award my best efforts were lent
to bring the parties to a harmonious
agreement as to the execution of its

suited in an engagement to pay the liza

RELATIONS WITH ENGLAND.

kELA IONS WI RI I NG LRND.
Our relations with Great Britain have
continued on the most friendly footing
ton of American and their interests in
Spanish jurisdiction, was assumed by
the diplomatic and consular representa-
tives of Great Britain, who fulfilled
their delicate and ardous trust with
tact and zeal, eliciting high commend
alton. l may be allowed TO make fit
ing alluson to the instance of Mr.
Ramsden, her maiesty's consul at San
tiago de Cuba, whose untimely death
after distinguished service and untiring
effort during the seige of the city was
sincerely lamented.
In the early part of April last, pur
suant to a request made at the instance
of the secretary of state by the British
ambassador at this capital, the Cana
dian government granted facilities for
the passage of four United States reVe-
nue. cutters from the great lakes to the
Atlantic coast by way of the Canadian
canals and the St. Lawrence river
The vessels had reached Lake Onta-
rio and were there awaiting the open
ing of navigation, when war was de-
clared between the United States and
Spain. Her majesty's government
thereupon, by a communication of the
latter part of April, stated that the
permission granted before the outbreak
Of hostilities would net be withdrawn
provided the United States government
gave assurance that the vessels in ques-
ton would proceed direct to a United
States port without engaging in any
hostile operation. This government
promptly agreed to the stipulated con-
dition, ii being understood that the YES
sells would not be prohibited from re-
sisting any hostile attack.
1t will give me especial satisfaction
if | shall be authorized to communicate
to you a favorable conclusion of the
pending negotiations with Great
Britain in respect to the Dominion of
Canada. 1t is the earnest wish of this
government to remove all sources of
discord and irregulation in our rela-
tions with the neighboring dominion.
The trade between the two countries
is constantly increasing, and it is i'm
portant to both countries that all rea-
sonable facilities should ba granted for
it's development.
The government of Greece strongly
urges the nervousness of the duty here
imposed upon the currants of that
country, amounting to 100 per cent or
more OF their market value.
This fruit is stated to be exclusively
a Greek product. not coming into COM
petition with any domestic product
The question of reciprocal commercial
relations with Greece, including the re-
Storation of currantS to the free list is
under consideration.

THE RED CROSS.

Immediately upon the outbreak Of
the war with Spain, the Swiss govern
ment, fulfilling the high mission it has
desevedly assumed as the patron of
the international Red Cross, proposed
to the United States and Spain that
they should severely recognize and
carry into execution, as a nodus Vi
vendi, during the continuance of hos
tilities, the additional articles proposed
by the international conference of Ge-
neVa, Oct. 20, 1868. extending the eff
fects of the Red Cross convention of
1864 to the conduct of naval war. Fol
lowing the example set by France and
Germany in 1870 in adopting such
modus Vivend. and in view of the ac-
cession of the United States to those
additional articles in 1882, although the
exchange of ratification thereof still re-
main Unaffected. the Swiss proposal
was promptly and cordially accepted by
us and Spain.
This government feels a keen salts
faction in having thus been enabled
to testify its adherence to the broadcast
principles of humanity even amidst
the clash of war, and it is to be hoped
that the extension of the Red Cross
compact to hostilities by sea as well
as on land may soon become an accom-
plished fact through the general pro-
mitigation of the additional naval Red
Cross articles by the maritime powers
now parties to the convention of 1864
The important question of the claim
Of Switzerland to the perpetual carto-
nal allegiance of American citizens of
Swiss origin has not made hopeful pro-

food staples we send abroad to coun-
tries where their use is large and neces-
sary.
l transmitted to the Senate on the
10th of February last Information
touching the prohibition against the i'm
portatiOn of fresh fruits from this coun-
try which had then recently been de-
creed by Germany on the ground of
danger of disseminating the San Jose
insect.
This precautionary measure was JUS
titled by Germany on the score Of the
drastic steps taken in several states Of
the union against the spread of the
pest, the elaborate reports of the de-
partment Of agriculture being put in
evidence to show the danger to German
fruit growing interests should the
scale obtain a Judgment in that coun-
try. Temporary relief was afforded in
the case of large cOnsignments of fruit
then on the way by inspection and ad-
mission when found non-infected. La
ter the prohibition was extended to
dried fruits Of every kind, but was re-
Taxed so as to apply only to unpeeled
fruit and fruit waste. AS waste be ex-
pected, the alarm reachedother countries
and Switzerland has adopted a similar
inhibition. Efforts are in progress to
induce the German and Swiss govern
ments to relax the prohibition in favor
of dried fruits shown to have been cur
ed under circumstances rendering the
existence of animal life impossible

much qualification TO this government
to see the friendly resort Of arbitration
applied to the settlement of this con-
troversy, not alone because of the ear
nest part we have had in bringing
about the result, but also because the
two members named on behalf of Ven

court, appropriately testify the Contn-
uing interest we feel in the definite ad-
iustment of the question according to
the strictest rules of license.

and Sir Richard Collins are jurists of
no less exalted repute, while the fifth
member and president OF the tribunal,
