delegations to be specifically constituted
for particular purposes by means of
conventions between the cOntesting par
ties, having for their object the clear
understanding of international differ
ences before resorting to the use of
force The provision for arbitration
contemplates the formation of a per-
manent tribunal before which disputed
cases may be brought for settlement by
the mutual consent of the litigants in
each separate case. The advantages of
such permanent tribunal over i'm
promptu commissions of arbitration
are conceived to be the actual exist
ence of competent court. prepared to
administer justice, the greater economy
resulting from well-devsed
system and the accumulated jul
dicial skill and experience which such
a tribunal would soon possess While
earnestly promoting the idea of estab-
fishing permanent international tri-
bunal, the delegation of the United
States was not unmindful of the incon-
veniences which might arise from an
obtrusive exercise of mediation, and, in
signing the convention, carefully
guarded the historic position of the
United States by the following declara-
ticn:
Nothing contained in this conven-
ton shall be so construed as to require
the United States of America to depart
from it's traditional policy of not in
truding upon, interfering with. or en-
tangling itself in the political ques-
tons or policy or international adj
ministration of any foreign state; nor
shall anything contained in the said
convention be construed to imply a re-
linquishment by the United States of
America of its traditional attitude to-
ward purely American questions"
Thus Interrupted the convention for
the pacific settlement of international
conflicts may be regarded as realizing
the earnest desire of great numbers of
American citizens whose deep sense of
justice, expressed in numerous resolu-
lions and memorials, has urged them
to labor for this noble achievement.
The general character of the con-
vention already signed by the delegates
of more than 20 sovereign states further
commends it to the favorable action
of the senate of the United States
whose ratification it still awaits.

THE NAVY DEPARTMENT,
Congress Urged to Remove the Armor
Plate Restriction

The navy has maintained the spirit
and high efficiency which have always
characterized that service and has lost
none of the gallantry in heroic action
which has signalized it's brilliant and
glorious past. The nation has equal
pride in its early and later achieves
ments. Its habitual readiness for every
emergency has won the confidence and
admiration of the country. The people
are interested in the continued prepa-
ration and prestige of the navy and
will justify liberal appropriations for
it's maintenance and Improvement. Til.
officers have shown peculiar adapta-
ton 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 armor plates for the vessels now
under contract and building. Its at
tention is respectfully called to the re-
port of the secretary of the navy, in
which the subject is fully presented.
I unite in his recommendation that
con gress enact such legislation as will
enable the department to make con
tracts early in the coming year for
armor Of the best quality that can be
obtained in this country for the Maine,
Ohio and Missouri, and that the pro-
vision Of the act of March 8, 1899, Inns

be removed. $3.50 ass

powers, laid down, less tonnage in the
year 1899 than this country, and italy
alone has less tonnage under construc-
ton. / heartily concur in the recon-.
mendations for the increase of the
navy as suggested by the secretarv.
Our future progress and prosperity DEF
pend upon our ability to equal if ngt
surpass other nations in the enlarger
ment and advance of science, industry
and commerce.
To invention we must turn as one of
the most powerful aids to the accomp-
lishment of such a result. The atsen-
ton Of congress is directed to the re-
port of the, commissioner of patents
in which will be found valuable sug-
gestions and recommendations. "

RESULTS OF THE WAR.
Our Pledge to Cuba Must Be Sacredly
Kept.

Our Pledge to Cuba Must Be Sacredly
Kept.
My annual message of last year was
necessarily devoted in great part to
consideration Of the Spanish war and
of the results it wrought and the con-
ditions it imposed for the future.
I am gratified to announce that the
treaty of peace has restored friendly
relations between the two powers. Eff
feet has been given to it's most import
ant provisions. The evacuation of
Porto Rico having already been accom-
plished on the 18th of October, 1898,
nothing remained necessary there but
to continue the provisional military
control Of the island until the congress
should enact a suitable government for
the coded territory. OF the character
and scope of the measures to that end
shall treat in another part of this mes
sage.
The withdrawal of the authority of
Spain from the island of Cuba was eff
fected by the first Of January, so that
the full re-establi shment of peace
found the relinquished territory held
by us in trust for the inhabitants,
maintaining under the direction of the
executive such government and con-
troll therein as should conserve public
order restore the productive conditions
of peace, long disturbed by the insta-
the greater part of the preceding three
decades and build up that tranquil de-
yelopment of the domestic state where
by alone can be realized the high pur-
pose as proclaimed in the joint resolu-
ton adopted by congress on the 18th Of
April, 1898, by which the United States
disclaimed any disposition or intention
to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or
control over Cuba, except for the paci-
fication thereof and asserted its deter
mination when that was accomplished
to leave the government and control of
the island to its people. The pledge
contained in this resolution is of the
highest honorable obligation, and
must be sacredly kept.
believe that substantial progress
has been made in this direction. All
the administrative measures adopted
In Cuba have aimed to fit it for re-
generated existence by enforcing the
supremacy of law and justice; by plac-
ing where it is practicable the machin-
ery of the administration in the hanus
of the inhabitants, by institutinG need
ed sanitary reforms, by spreading euu-
cation, by fostering industry and trace,
by public morality, and, in snort, by
taking every rational step to AID. the
Cuban people to attain to that plane
of self-conscious respect and sef-re-
liant unity which fits an enlightened

as deputy postmaster and post-
master of large city. This princi-
pie governed and determined the se&
lection of the American officials sent
not only to Cuba, but to Porto Rico and
the Philippines. and they were INSTRUCT
ed to apply it so far as practicable in
the employment Of the natives as minor
postmasters and clerks. The postal sYs-
tenn in Cuba, though remaining under
the general guidance of the postmaster
general was made essentially indeperid-
ent. 1t was felt that it should not be a
burden on the postal service of the
United States, and provision was made
that any deficit in the postal revenues
should be a charge upon the general
revenues Of the island Though Porto
Rico and the Philippines held different
relation to the United States, yet for
convenience of administration the same
principle of an autonomous system has
been extended to them. The develop-
ment of the service in all of the islands
has been rapid and successful 1t has
moved forward on American lines with
free delivery, money order and registry
systems, and has given the people mail
facilities far greater and more reliable
than any they have ever before enjoyed.
1t is thus not only a vital agency Of
industrial, social and business progress.
but an important influence in diffusing
just understanding of the true spirit
and character of the American admins
tration.
Domestic Service. II,
The domestic postal service continues
to grow with extraordinary rapidity.
The expenditures and revenues will
each exceed $1O0,0O0,000 during the cur
rent year. Fortunately, since the revival
of prosperity. the revenues have grown
much faster than the expenditures, and
there is every indication that short
period will witness the obliteration of
the annual deficit. In this connection
the report of the postmaster general en-
bodies statement of evils which have
grown up outside of the contemplation
Of law in the treatment Of some classes
of mail matter which wrongly exercise
the privilege of pound rates and shows
that If this matter had been properly
classified and had paid the rate which
it should have paid. instead of postal
deficit the last fiscal year of s6.610,000.
there would have been, on one basis, a
surplus Of s17,637,57O and on another
IS, 1886. The reform thus suggested,
in the opinion of the postmaster gem
eral would not only put the postal serv-
ice at once on self-sustaining basis
but would permit great and valuable
improvements, and I commend the sub
ject to the consideration of congress.

A GRIEVANCE.
Many Grounds of Complaint Against the
Turkish Empire.

The United States minister to Turkey
continues under instructions to press
for a money payment in satisfaction
of the just claims for injuries suffered
by American citizens In the disorders of
several years past and for the wrong
done to them by the Ottoman authori-
ties. Some of these claims are of many
years standing. This government is
hopeful of a general agreement in this
regard.
In the Turkish empire the situation
or our citizens remains unsatisfactory.
Our efforts during nearly 40 years 10
bring about a convention of naturali-
cation seem to be on the brink of final
failure through the announced policy
of the Ottoman porte to refuse recog-
milton of the alien status of native
Turkish subjects naturalzed abroad
since 1867. Our statutes do not allow
this government to admit any distinc-
ton between the treatment of native
and naturalized Americans abroad, so
that ceaseless controversy arises in
cases where persons owing in the eye
of international law dual allegiance
are prevented from entering Turkey or
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-12-06

are expelled after entrance. Our law
in this regard contrasts with that OF
the European states.
The arbitrary treatment in some in
stances of American productions in
Turkey has attracted attention of late,
notably in regard to our flour. Large
shipments by the recently opened di-
rect steamship line to Turkish ports
have been denied entrance on the score
that although of a standard composition
and unquestioned purity, the flour was
pernicious to health because of def
cient elasticity as indicated by anti
quated and Enthusiastically tests. Upon
due protest by the American minister
and it appearing that the act was a
virtual discrimination against our
product, the shipments in question We're
admitted. In these, as in all instances,
wherever occurring when American
products may be subjected in a foreign
country upon speclous pretexts to dis
elimination compared with the prod
ucts of another country, this govern
ment will use its earnest efforts to Sc
cure fair and equal treatment for it's
citizens and their goods. Failing this,
it will not hesitate to apply whatever
corrective may be provided by the stat
utes.
The Venezuelan Commission.
The international commission of arbi-
tratiOn appointed under the Anglo
Venezuelan treaty of 1897 rendered an
award on October73, last, whereby the
boundary line between Venezuela and
British Guiana is determined, thus end
ing a controversy which has existed for
the greater part of the century. The
award, as to which the arbitrator
were unanimous, while not meeting the
extreme contention of either. party,
gives to Great Britain a large share
of the interior territory in dispute and
to Venezuela the entire mouth of the

An Amendment to the Pension Law
Recommended. VS.
On the 30th Of June, 1885, the pension
roll of the United States numbered 99l,-
49, These include the pensioners of
the army and navy in all our wars. The
number added to the rolls during the
year was 4O,991. The number dropped
by reason Of death, remarriage. minors
by legal limitations. failure to claim
within three years and other causes
was 1856, and the number of claims
disallowed was 107,917 During the year
S9,O54 pension certificates were issued
of which 81 OF were for new or original
pensions. The amount disbursed for
army and navy pensions during the
year was $13S, 1856, 052.95 which was
S1,651 46 less than the sum of the appro-
priations.
The Grand Army of the Republic, at
its recent national encampment held at
Philadelphia, has brought to my atten-
ton and to that of congress the Wis
dom and justice of a modification of the
third section of the act of June q, 1890,
which provides pensions for the widows
of officers and enlisted men who served
80 days or more during the war of the
rebellion, and were honorably dis
charged, provided that such widows are
without other means of support than
their daily labor and We're married TO

of whose service they claim pension

The present holding of the DEPART
ment is that if the wiSoW's income,
aside from her daily labor, does not eN-
coed in amount what her pension would
be, to-wit: 500 per annum, she would
be deemed to be without other means
of support than her daily labor and
would be entitled to a pension under
this act while if the widows income

her as the result of her daily labor eX-
! ceeds 500 she would not be pensionable

commissioner of pensions that the

varied widely under different admins

recommends that in order to make the

AN IMMENSE WORK
In Providing Postal Facilities for Our
New Island Possessions.

In restoring peaceful conditions, or
derby rule and civic progress in Cuba,
Porto Rico and, so far as practicable,
in the Philippines the rehabilitation of
the postal service has been an import
ant part of the work. 1t became neces-
sary to provide mail facilities both for
our forces of occupation and for the ma
tive population. To meet this require
ment has involved a substantial recon-
struction. The existing systems We're
so fragmentary, defective and made
quate that a new and comprehensive or
ganization had to be created. Ameri-
ican-trained officials have been assigned
to the directing and executive positions,
while the natives have been chiefly en-
ployed in making up the body of the
force. In working out this plan the
merit rule has been vigorously and
faithfully applied.
The appointment of director general
of posts of Cuba was given to an eX-
pert, who had been chief postofiice in
spector and assistant postmaster gem
eral, and who united large experience
with capacity. For the postmastershlp
at Havana the range of skilled ana
available men was scanned, and the
choice fell on one who had
been 20 years in the service
