FOREIGN RELATIONS.
No Dispute of Serious Character with
Any Governments.

A review of our relations with foreign
states is presented. with such recon-
mtndations as are deemed appropriate.
In my last annual message | adverted
to the claim of the Austro-Huugar. an
government for indemnity for the killing
of certain Austrian and Hungarian sub
jects by the authorities of the state of
Pennsylvania at Lattimer. while sup
pressing an unlawful tumult of miners
September 10, 1881. In view of the verd ct
of acquittal rendered by the court before
which the sheriff and his deputies were
tried for murder, and following the estab-
lished doctrine that the government may
not be held accountable for injuries suf
fered by Individuals at the hands of the
public authorities while acting in the line
of duty in suppreSsng disturbances of the
pubic peace, this government, after due
consideration of the claim advanced by
the Austro-H ungar government WAS
constrained to decline liability to ind M
Eify the sufferers.
1t Is gratifying to be able to announce
that the Belgian government has mitigated
the restrictions on the Importation of
cattle from the United States to which
referred in my last annual message.

The 56th congress convenes in its first
regular session with the country in Il
condition of unusual prosperity, of uni
Hersal goodwill among the people at
home and relations OF peace and friend
snip with every government of the world
our foreign commerce has shown great
increase in volume and value. The COM
bned imports and exports for the year
are the largest ever shown by a single
year in all our history. our exports for
1893 alone exceeded by more than sl,0J9,-
10000 our imports and exports comb ned
in 1870 The imports per capita are 20 per
cent less than in 1870 while the exports
per capita are S. per cent more than in
1870, showing the enlarged capacity OF the
United States TO satisfy the wants Of its
own increasing population, as well as to
contribute to those of the peoples of other
nations. Exports of agricultural products
we're 1854 I16.li2. OF manufactured prod
acts we exported in value $3.50 592.li6, be-
Ing larger than any previous year. 1t is
noteworthy fact that the only years in
