Such question under the treaty with
Spain and In accordance with our own
constitution and laws came exclusively
within the Jurisdiction Of congress. The
government actually set ny by the inhab.
itants Of Negroes eventually proved un.
satisfactory to the natives themselves. A
new system was put into force by order
OF the major general commanding tho
department., which Is partly military and
partly civil.

with zach other, which is the repeatedly
declared policy ii the United States.
In this connection I repeat my former
recommendations that a portiOn OF the
gold holdings shall be placed In q trust
fund from which greenbacks shall be re-
deemed upon presentation. but when once
redeemed shall not thereafter be paid out
except for gold.
The Merchant Marine.
The value of an American merchant
marine to the extension Of our CONNER
cial trade and the Strengthening OF our
power upon the sea invites the immediate
of congress. Our national devel-
opment will be one-sided and unsatis-
factory 80 long as the remarkable growth
Of II inland industries remai n
by progress on the seas.

Pensions Of Widows.

Reviewing the report Of the pension
commissioner. the president recommends.
following the request Of the Grand Army
of the Republic. that congress shall so
amend tho widows pension act to permit
the pension Office to grant ~pensionnble
status to widows under the terms Of the
third section Of the act Of June -. 1890.

The operations Of the army are FULLY

war. cannot withhold from officers n
men the highest commentator Tor tneir
soldiery conduct in trying situations, the'r
willing sacrifices for their country anu
the integrity and ability with which they
have performed unusual and difficult du-

Domestic Postal Service.
The domestic postal service continues
to grow with extraordinary rapidity. Inc
expenditures and revenues will each ex'
coed $780, 600, 600 during the current year.
| Fortunately since the revival Of prosper
Gus times the revenues have grown much
faster than the expenditure, and there Is

The Gallant Navy.
The navy has maintained the spirit and
high service Of efficiency which have al
ways characterized that service and has
lost none Of the ~gallantry in heroic action
| which has signalized its brilliant and
glorious past. The nation has equal pride
in its early and later achievements. Its
habitual readiness for every emergency
has won the confidence and admiration OF
the country. The people are interested In
| the preparation and prestige Of the navy
and will justify liberal appropriations for
its maintenance and improvement. The
officers have shown peculiar adaptation
for the performance Of new and delicate
duties which our recent war has imposed.
1t cannot be doubted that congress will
at once make necessary provision for the
armour plate for the vessels now under
contract and building. l heartily concur
in the recommendation for the increase Of
the navy as suggested by the secretary Of
the navy.
