Greet applause, in spite of Col Jou-
austs patent disapproval when he
soiemnly added: Il declare here, on
my soul and conscience, that the Dor

The most important incident, how
ever. was Col. Jouaust's acquiescence
in Major Carriers request that a roga-
tory commission be instructed to take
Col. Du Patty de CLAIMS deposition
The initiative came purely from the
government commissary, Maitres La

such a measure because ii allows Du

stances. Du Patty de Clam being a

that the witness will be very much

was Capt. Freystaetter, who was the
subject of many fiattering remarks

so great that some persons waited all
night long outside the door of the

the hope Of seeing him a today's sit

clined BY the Brit! III commissioners, an
adjournment was taken until the boun.
dairy should be adjusted BY the two gov
ernments. The subject has been receiv-
ing the careful attention which Its i'm.
p%ortance demands. with the result that u
modus viveEdi for provisional demarca-
tons In the region about the head OF
Lynn canal has been agreed upon; and 1t
is hoped that the negotiations now in
progress between the two governments
will end In an agreement for the estab-
lishlnent and delimitation Of q permanent
boundary.
Apart from these questions growing out
Of u relationship with our nothern
neighbor, the most friendly disposition
and ready agreement have marked the
discussion of numerous matters arising in
the vast and intimate intercourse of the
United States with Great Britain.
This government has maintained an at
titude of neutrality in the Unfortunate
contest between Great Britain and the
Boer states of Africa We have remained
faithful to the precept of avoiding en-
tangling alliances as to affairs not Of our
direct concern. Had circumstances sug-
gested that the parties to the quarrel
would have welcomed any kindly express
sion of the hope Of the American people
that war might be averted, good offices
would have been gladly rendered.
Violence Against AkonA
For the fourth time in the present de-
cade question has arisen with the govern
ment Of Italy in regard to the lynching of
Italian subjects. The latest of these de-
plorable events occurred at Tallulah, La ..
whereby five u~nfortunates, Of Italian
origin, were taken from Jail and hanged.
Because Of defective federal jurisdiction
the president recommends legislation
giving federal courts power Of prosecution
in similar cases.
The Pacific Cable.
Without repeating the observations Of
my special message Of Feb. 10, 1899, con-
corning the necessity Of a cable to Manila,
l respectfully invite attention to 1t. l
recommend hat in case the congress
should not take measures, to bring about
this result by direct action of the govern
ment, the postmaster general be author
ICED to invite competitive bids for the
establishment Of a cable: the company
making the best responsible bid to be
awarded the contract; the successful
company to give ample bonds to insure
the completion Of the work within q rca-
sOnable time.

FOREIGN RELATIONS.
F~riendliness Has Characterixed Dealin "a
with Other Nations.

A review of our relations with foreign
states is presented with such recoinmen-
dations as are deemed appropriate. Many
of the references are to minor incidents
and events in states on this continent.
Our increasing intimate relations with
Germany are cited at considerable length,
the history of Nicaragua canal negotia-
tons during the past year is given, and
the appointment Of a new commission de-
tailed Good progress has been made by
this commission, but under the law a
comprehensive and complete investigate
is called for. which will require much
labor and considerable time for its accom-
pliShment. The work Will be prosecuted
as ex~pcditiOusly as possible, and a report
made at the earliest practicable date.
The great Importance Of this work can
not be too often or too strongly pressed
upon the attention Of the congress In
my message of a year ago l expressed my
views Of the necessity Of a canal which
would link the w great oceans, to which
l again invite your consideration The
reasons then presented for early action
are even stronger now.
Alaskan Boundary and Othar Matters
In my last annual message l referred TO
the penuIuH HtkOUIdJIouS WIN hTc1C Bit
ain in respect to the dominion of Canada.
BY means of an executive agreement a
Joint high commission had been created
for the purpose OF adjusting all unsettled
questions between the United States and
Canada, embracing twelve subjects,
tmong which were the questions Of the
fur seals, the fisheries of the coast and
contiguous inland waters, the Alaskan
boundary, the transit of merchandise in
bond, the alien labor laws, mining rights,
reciprocity in trade, revision Of the agree
ment respecting naval vessels in the Great
Lakes, a more complete marking Of parts
Of the boundary. provision for the CON
veyance Of criminals, and for wrecking
md salvage.
Much progress had been made by
the commission toward the adj
iustment Of many Of these ques-
tions where 1t became apparent that
an irr~econcilable difference Of views was
entertained respecting the delimitation OF
the Alaskan boundary. In the failure of
an agreement as to the meaning Of srti-
cles 3 and 4 Of the treaty Of 1926 between
Russia and Great Britain, which defined
the boundary between Alaska and Can
ada, the American commissioners pro
posed that the subject Of the boundary
be laid aside and that the remaining
questions Of difference he proceeded
with, some OF which were 20 far

BANKING AND CURRENCY.
Gold Standard and Enlarged Powers for
National Banks.

Increased activity in industry, with its
welcome a~ttendant-a larger employment
for labor at higher wages-gives to the
body of the people a larger power to alb
sOrb the circulating medium. 1t is fur
Their true thae year by year. with larger
areas Of land under cultivation, the in
creasing agricultural products, cotton,
corn and wheat call for a larger volume
Of money supply. This is especially
noticeable at the crop harvesting and
crop moving period.
In its early history the national bank
ing act seemed to prove a reasonable
avenue through which needful additions
to the circulation could from time to time
be made. Changing conditions have ap-
pHrently rendered it now imperative to
that md. The high margin in pond Sc
rurities required, resulting from large
premiums which government bonds com
mand in the market, or the tax on note
issues, or both operating together, appear
to be the influences which impair its pub
lie utility.
The attention OF congress is respectfully
invited to his important matter with the
view Of ascertaining whether or not such
reasonable notifications can be made in
the national banking act as will render
its service in the particulars here referred
- more responsive to the peoples needs.
j again urge that national banks be au-
thorized to organize with q capital of
E25,O 900.
Gold Standard should He Maintained.
l urgently recommend that to support
the existing gold standard, and to main
tain 1.-The parity in value Of the coins OF
the two metals (gold and silver) and the
equal power of every dollar at all times
in the market and in the payment of
debts, the secretary Of the treasury be
given additional power and charged with
the duty to sell United States bonds and
to employ such other effective means as
may be necessary to these ends. The u.
thority should include the power to sell
bonds on long n short time, as condi-
tiOns may require, and should provide for
a rate OF interest lower than that fixed by
the act OF Jan. IA, 1875.
Our receipts now equal our expendi-
lures; deficient revenues no longer create
alarm. Let US remove the only rematn-
ing cause by comforting the full and nee
