INCREASE SHOULD BE PUSHED.
In the matter of naval construction, it
Is said THAT Italy and Japan, Of the
great powers, laid down less tonnage in
the year 1899 than this country, and that
Italy alone has less tonnage under con
struction. I heartily concur in the rec
concentrations for the increase of the
navy as suggested by the secretary. Our
future progress and prosperity depend
upon our ability to equal if not surpass
other nations in the enlargement and ad-
vance 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 recommendations and
suggestions

Cuba, we now have 334 officers and TO-
1856 enlisted men; in Porto Rico 81 officers
and 2,S55 enlisted men and a vattalion
of 400 men composed of native Porto Ri
cans; while stationed throughout the
United States are $40 officers and 1871
men, and in Hawaii Il officers and 453
enlisted men.
HIGH PRAISE FOR THE ARMY.
The operations Of the army are fully
presented in the rtport of the secretary of
war. I cannot withhold from officers and
men the highest commentator for their
soldierly conduct in trying situationc, their
willing sacrifices for their country, and
the interest and ability with which they
have performed unusual and difficult du-
ties in our island possessions.
CHAPLAINS OVERLOOKED.
In the organization Of the volunteer
regiments authorized by the act of March
2, 1885,? it was found that no provision
had been made for chaplains. This
omission was doubtless from inadvertence.
1 recommend the early authorization for
the appointment of one chaplain for each
of said regiments The regiments are
now in the Philippines and it is import
ant that immediate action be had.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

| PLANTS FROM FOREIGN LANDS
The department of agriculture is con-
stantly consulting the needs of producers
| in all the states and territories. 1t is
introducing seeds and plants of great
| value and promoting fuller diversifcation
of crops. Grains, grasses. fruits, le-
gumes and vegetables are imported for
all parts of the United States. Under
! this encouragement the sugar beet fac
tory multiplies in the north and far west,
semi-tropical plants are sent to the south,
and congenial chimes are sought for the
choice productions of the far east. The
hybridizing of fruit trees and grains is
conducted in the search for varieties
adapted to exacting conditions. The in
PRODUCTION of tea gardens into the south
ern states promises to provide employ
ment for idle hands. as well as to supply
the home market with tea.
IRRIGATION.
The subject of irrigation where 1t is OF
vital Importance to the people Is being
carefully studied, steps are being taken
to reclaim injured or abandoned lands,
and information fer the people along
those lines is being printed and distrib-
uted
SEEKING FOREIGN MARKETS.
Markets are being sought and opened up
for surplus farm and factory products in
Europe and Asia. Tht outlook for the
education for the young farmer through
agricultural college experiment stations,
with opportunity given to specialize in the
department of agriculture is very promis>
ing. The people of Hawaii. Porto Rico
and the Philippine Islands have been
helped, by the establishment Of expert
ment stations, to a more scientific knowl-
edge OF the production of coffee, India
rubber and other tropical products, for
which there is demand In the United
States
HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT.
There is widespread interest in the i'm
provement of our public highways at the
present time and the department of agri-
culture is cooperating with the people in
each locality in making the best possible
road from the local material, and in ex-
periments with steel tracks.
THE FORESTRY PROBLEM
A more intelligent system OF manag-
ing the forests of the country is being pus
in operate and a careful study of the
whole forestry problem is being conduct
ed throughout the United States.
FARM EXHIBITS AT PARIS.
very extensive and complete exhibit
of the agricultural and horticultural prod
ucts Of the United States is being pre-
pared 70 rthe Paris exposition.

or the reserves. The lands actually re-
served are, however only the vacant pub
lie lands therein and these have been set
aside and reserved for sale or settlement
IN order that they may be Of the great
est use TO the people.
FOREST PROTECTION.
Protection of the national forests. in
augurated by the department of the in
terror in 1897, has been continued during
the past year and much has been accom-
plished in the way of preventing forest
fires and the protection of the timber
There are now large tracts covered by
forests which viii eventually be reserved
and set apart for forest uses. Until that
can be done congress should increase the
appropriations for the work of protecting
the forests

OUTLYING POSSESSIONS
THE PHILIPPINES
TO THE ISLANDS

FAIR PURCHASE FROM SPAIN.
On the 10th of December, 1895, the
treaty of peace between the United States
and Spain was signed. 1t provided. among
other things, that Spain should cede to
the United States the archipelago known
as the Philippine Islands, that the United
States should pay to Spain the sum Of
$50 OO0, 900, and that the civil rights and
political status of the native Inhabitants
Of the territories thus ceded to the United
States should be determined by the con-
gress. The treaty was ratified by the
senate on the 9Th of February, 1899 and
by the government of Spain on the 18th
of March following. The Publications
were exchanged on the 18th of April and
the treaty publicly proclaimed. On the
End of March the congress voted the sum
contemplated by the treaty. and the
amount was paid over to the Spanish
government on the 1st OF May.
NATIVES DESIRED THE TRANSFER.
In this manner the Philippines came
to the United States. The islands were
coded by the government of Spain. which
had been in undisputed possession Of them
for centuries. They were accepted not
merely by our authorized commissioners
in Paris, under the direction of the ex-
ecutive, but by the constitutional and
well-considered action of the representa-
tives Of the people of the United States
in both houses Of congress. I had every
reason to believe, and I still believe. that
this transfer Of sovereignty was in &C
cordance with the wishes and the aspi-
rations of the great mass OF the Filipino
venrslp
