THE NAVY.
Necessary Provision Must he Made
for ArmOr Plate.

for ArmOr Plate.
The navy has maintained the spirit and
high efficiency which have always char
acterized 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 achey tents. Its habit
ual readiness for every emergency has
won the confidence and admiration of the
country. The people are interested In the
continued preparation and prestige of the
navy. and will justify liberal appropria-
tons for its maintenance and improve
ment. The officers have shown peculiar
adaptation for the performance of new
and delicate duties which our recent war
has imposed.
l heartily concur In the recommends
lions for the increase Of the navy, as sug
gested by the secretary. Our future
progress and prosperity depend upon our
ability to equal. II not to surpass. other
nations in the enlargement and advance
of science, industry and commerce.
To invention we must turn as one of
the most powerful aids to the accomplish
ment Of such a result. The attention of
congress Is directed to the report of the
commissioner of patents. in which will
be found valuable suggestions and rec
concentrations.

EXTENSION OF TRADE,
Good Results of Work Done by Dip
iOmatic and Consular Officers.


In my lah annual message, the prog
ress noted in The work of the diplomatic
and consular offices in collecting Informal
tton as to the industries and commerce of
other countries. and in the care and
Drompfitude with which the reports were
printed and distrjbu ed has continued
during the past year. with increasingly
valuable results In suggesting new sources
or demand for American products and in
pointing out the obstacles still to be
overcome in facilitating the remarkable
expansion of our foreign trade. 1t will
doubtless be gratifying to congress to
learn that the various agencies of the
department of state are cooperating in
these endeavOrs with zeal and effective
ness which are not only receiving the
cordial recognition of our business inter-
4sts. but are receiving the emulation of
ether governments. In any arrangement
for the great and complicated work Of OBJ
talning official data of an economic char
9cter which congress may undertake, IL
Is most important. in my judgment, that
the results already secured by the efforts
Of the department of state should be con-
eidered with a view of judicious devel-
epment and increased utility to our ex-
port trade.
Bureau of American Republics.
The interest taken by the various states
forming the International union Of Amer
1can republics In the work Of as
bureau is evidenced by the fact that
TOR the first time since its creation in
BS0 all the republics in Central and South
America are now represented in 1t. The
unanimous recommendation of the inter-
national American conference providing
for the international union of American
republics stated that 1t should continue
m force during term of 10 years from
the date of its organization. and no coun-
try becoming a member of the union
should cease to be a member until the
end Of said period Of 10 years. and, un-
less II months before the expiration of
said period a majority of the members
Of the union had given to the secretary of
state of the United States official notice
OF their wish to terminate the union at
the end Of Its first period. that the union
should continue to be maintained for an
other period OF 10 years. and thereafter
under the same conditions for successive
periods Of 10 years each. The period for
notification expired on July IA. 1899, with
out any of the members having given
the necessary notice of withdrawal Its
maintenance Is therefore assured for the
next 10 years.

LAWS FOR ALASKA.
Necessity for Immediate LeRislativs
AcffOn

A necessity for immediate legislative ac-
ton exists in the territory of Alaska.
Substantially the only law providing a
civil government for this territory is the
act of May II. 1884. This is meager in its
provisions and is fitted only for the ad-
min.stration of affairs in a country sparse
ly inhabited by civilized people and unim-
portant in trade and production, as was
Alaska at the time this act was passed.
The increase in population by immigra-
ton during the past few years, consequent
upon the discovery Of gold. has produced
such condition as calls for more ample
facilities for local self-government and
more numerous convenences of civil and
judicial administration.
