given to the president to enlist that force
ii, in his discretion, it should be neces-
sary-, and the further discretion should
be given him to recruit. within the above
limit from the inhabitants OF the islands
with the government OF which we are
charged.
1t is my purpse to muster out the en-
tire volunteer army as soon as the con
gress shall provide for the increase of the
regular establishment.
Suggested Legislation.
The alien labor contract law is shown by
experience to need some amendments; a
measure providing better protection for
seamen is proposed; the rightful apphca-
ton of the eight-hour law for the benefit
of labor, and the principle of arbitration,
are suggestions for consideration. | recon-
mend these subjects to the careful eonsid-
Grafton OF the congress.
The several departmental reports will be
laid before you. They give in great detail
the conduct of the affairs of the govern
mcnt during the past year and discuss
many questions upon which the congress
may be called upon to act.

The importance OF legislation for the
permanent increase of the army is man
ifest and the recommendation of the see
rotary of war for that purpose has my
unqualified approval. There can be no
question that at this time, and probably
for some time in the future, 100000 men
will be none too many to meet the ne
cessities OF the situation. At all events,
whether that number shall be required
permanently or not, the power should be
