OTHER MATTERS DISCUSSED.
Mob Law Denounced - Lynchlngs
Must Not He Tolerated.

The love of law and sense of obedience
and submission to the lawfully consti-
tuted tribunals are imbedded In the
hearts of our people, and any VIOLA
ton Of these sentiments and disregard Of
their obligations justly arouses public
condemnation. The guarantees of life, lib
erty and of civil rights should be faithfully
spected and defended. The rule Of the
courts should assure the public of the
prompt trial Of those charged with GRIM
inal offense, and upon conviction the pun
ishment should be commensurate with
the enormity Of the crime. Those who
in disregard of law and public peace.
unwilling to await the Judgment Of court
and jury, constitute themselves judges
and executioners should not escape the
severest penalties of their crimes.
Extending the Classified Service.
The executive order of May 6. 1896. ex-
tending the limits of the classified serv-
ice, brought within the operation Of the
civil service law and rules nearly all OF
the executive civil service not previously
classified. Some Of the inclusions were
found wholly illogical and unsuited to
the work of the several departments. The
application Of the rules to many OF the
places so included was found to result
in friction and embarrassment. After long
and very thorough consideration, 1t be-
came evident to the heads Of the DEPART
ments responsible for their efficiency that
in order to remove these difficulties and
promote an efficient and harmonious ad-
lninistration, certain amendments were
necessary. These amendments were pro-
mulgated by me In executive order dated
May q. 1899.
Anniversary Of Washington's Death
The 18th Of December will be the one
hundredth anniversary Of the death OF
Washington. For a hundred years the re-
public has had the priceless advantage
of the lofty standard Of character and
conduct which he beQueathed to the
American people. 1t As an inheritance
which time, instead Of wasting, continn-
ally increases and enriches. We may
justly hope that in the years to come the
benigaant influence of the father Of his
country may be even more potent for
good than In the century which Is draw
ing to a close. / have been glad to learn
that In many parts of the country the
people will fittingly observe this historic
anniversary.
Responsibilities Of Congress.
Presented to this congress are great op-
portunities. With them come great re-
sponsibilities. The power confided to u
increases the weight Of our obligations to
the people, and we must be profoundly
sensitive of them as we contemplate the
new and grave problems which confront
us. Aiming only at the public good, We
cannot err. A right Interpretation OF the
peoples will and Of duty cannot fall to
insure wise measures Cor the welfare OF
the islands which have come under the
authority of the United States. and inure
to the common interest and lasting homo;
of our country.
Never has this nation had more abun-
dant cause Slan during the past year foa
thankfulness to God for manifold bless
ing and mercies. for which We mako

GREAT BRITAIN AND CANADA.
Alaska boundary Contention and
Other Unsettled Questions.

"A
other Unsettled Questions.
In my last annual message, / referred to
the pending negotiations with Great Brit
ain in respect to the Dominion of Canada.
Rv means of an executive agreement,
ioint high commission had been created
for the purpose Of adjusting all unsettled
questions between the United states and
Canada, embracing IL subjects. among
which were the questions of the fur seals,
the fisheries Of the coast and contiguous
inland waters, the Alaska boundary, the
transit of merchandise in bond. the alien
labor laws mining rights, reciprocity In
trade. revision of the agreement respect
ing naval vessels in the Great Lakes,
more complete marking of parts OF the
boundary, provision for the conveyance OF
criminals. and for wrecking and salvage.
Much progress had been made by the
Commission toward the adjustment ,of
many of these questions, when 1t became
apparent that an irreconcilable difference
of views was entertained respecting the
de,mitation of the Alaska boundary. In
the failure of an agreement to the mean
ing of articles iii and iv Of the treaty OF
1S25 between Russia and Great Britain,
which defined the boundary between Alas
ka and Canada, the American commission
ers proposed that the subject OF the
boundary be laid aside, and that the re-
maining questions of difference be pro-
ceeded with some of which were so far
advanced as to assure the probability OF a
settlement. This being declined by the
British commissioners, an adjournment
was taken until the boundary should be
adjusted by the two governments. Inc
subject has been receiving the careIui at
tention which its Importance demands,
with the result that q modus vivendl ior
nroyisional demarkations In the region
about the head Of Lynn canal mas Deen
agreed upon. and 1t Is hoped that the
neeotda tions now in progress between the
two governments will end In an agree
ment for the establishment and deiimita-
tion of a permanent boundary.
Attitude in Anglo-BOer War.

recommend that legislation to the
same end be had with reference to Puerto
Rico. The time Is ripe for the adoption
of temporary form of government for
this island, and many suggestions made
with reference to Alaska are applicable
also to Puerto Rico. The system Of civil
jurisprudence now adopted by the people
of this island Is described by competent
lawyers who are familiar with 1t, as
thoroughly modern and scientific, so far
as 1t relates to matters of internal busi-
ness, trade. production and social and
private rights In general. The cities Of
the island are governed under charters
which probably require very little or no
change. So that with relation to matters
of local concern and private rights 1t IL
not probable that much, II any, legislation
Is desirable: but with reference to pub
lie administration and the relations of the
islands to the federal government there
are many matters which are of pressing
urgency.

FINANCES OF THE NATION.
and Disbursements for the
Last Fiscal Year.

Government receipts from all sources for
the fiscal year ended June 80, 1899, includ-
ing ST. 79S 3l4 IA. part payment of the Gen.
trail Pacific Indebtedness, aggregated $780,
$4,000 35. OF this sum, customs receipts
were sos. l2S, ,4S1 rs, and those from inter-
nal revenue $273, ,437, ,161 81. For the fiscal
year the expenditures were 500 093, ,564 OF,
leaving deficit of $S9. III, $50 81.
The secretary of the treasury estimates
that the receipts for the current fiscal
year will aggregate 500, ,95S, ,112, and upon
the basis of present appropriations the ex-
penditures will aggregate $500, ,95S, ,112. leav-
Ing a0,OC0,000. For the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1899, the internal revenue receipts
were increased about $780, 900, 600.

combatants. This has been an easy task,
IN view of the positive declarations Of
both British and Boer authorities that the
personal and property rights Of our citi-
zens should be observed.
Upon the withdrawal of the British
agent from Pretoria, the United States
consul was authorized, upon the request
OF the British government, and with the
assent Of the South African and Orange
Free State governments, to exercise the
customary good offices Of a neutral for
the care Of British interests. In the dis
charge of this function am happy to say
that abundant opportunity has been af-
forded to show the impartiality Of this
government to both the combatants for
the fourth time in the present decade.

accustomed channels. Manila, whose IN
habitants were fleeing to the country q
few months ago. is now a populous and
thriving mart Of commerce. The earnest
and unremitting endeavors OF the COM
mission and the admiral and major-gen-
eral commanding the department of the
Pacific. to assure the people of the benef-
cent intentions Of this government. have
had their legitimate effect In convincing
the great mass Of them that peace and
safety and prosperity and stable govern
ment can only be found In a loyal accept
ance Of the authority of the United States.
The Duty of Congress-.
The future government OF the Philip
ed States. Few graver responsibilities
have ever been confided to us. II We
accept them in a spirit worthy of our race
and traditions. great opportunity comes
with them. The islands lie under the
shelter Of our flag. They are ours by
every title Of law and equity. They can
not be abandoned. II we desert them we
leave them at once to anarchy and finally
to barbarism. We fling them, a golden
apple Of discord. among the rival powers.
no one Of which would permit another to
seize them unQuestioned. Their rich
plains and valleys would be the scene of
endless strife and bloodshed. The advent
OF DeWeyS meet In Manila bay, instead
of being, as we hope. the dawn of a new
day Of freedom and progress, would have
been the beginning OF an era Of misery and
violence worse than any which has dark
ened their unhappy past.
1t does not seem desirable that I should
recommend at this time a specific final
form Of government for these islands
When peace shall be restored 1t will be the
duty OF congress to construct a plan of
government which shall establish and
maintain freedom and order and peace In
the Philippines. The insurrection is still
existing, and when 1t, terminates. further
Information will be required as to the
actual condition Of affairs before inaugu-
rating a permanent scheme of civil gov
ernment.
The full report Of the commission, now
In preparation, will contain information
and suggestions which will be of value to
congress, and which 1 will transmit as
soon as 1t Is COMPLETED. As long as the
insurrection continues, the military arm
must necessarily be supreme.

LAWS FOR ALASKA.
Necessity for Immediate Legislative

Action.
A necessity for immediate legislative ac-
ton exists In the territory of Alaska
Substantially the only law providing q
civil government for this territory Is the
act of May II. 1884. This is meager in it's
provisions and is fitted only for the ad-
minstration of affairs in 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 conveniences of civil and
judicial administration.

LIGoNIER, Pa, October 26.-Mrs.
James D. Love, of Fort Palmer, had ?
frightful experience on Tuesday with
the forest fire now raging on Chestnut
Ridge. She was on her way over the
ridge when the flames came sweeping
toward the road quarter of mile
wide. Her horse became unmanage-

Gated her. By extraordinary efforts
she managed to escape the rush of the
flames. Shortly after her escape from
the fire the road over which she passed,
being covered with six inches of leaves,
was all ablaze.
