CHINESE PROBLEM.

Tie President says that "ln our for
eign intercourse the dominant question
has been the treatment of the Chinese
problem. Apart from this our relations
with the powers have been happy" He
then proceeds to give a lengthy detail OF
the troubles in China, the cause of their
origin, how our Government has treated
the question, all the while working for
policy of peace and the preservation of the
integrity of the Chinese Empire.
''The matter Of indemnity for our
wronged citizens is'a question Of grave
concern. Measured in money alone, a
sufficient reparation may prove to be be-
yond the ability Of China to meet. All
the powers concur in emphatic disclaimers
of any purpose of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT through
the dismemberment of the empire. l am
disposed to think that due compensation
may be made in part by increased guaran-
tees of security for foreign rights and inn
munities, and, most important Of all, by
the opening of China to the equal COM
merce of all the world. These views have
been and will be earnestly advocated by
our representatives.

KRUGER WONT GO TO BERLIN.
He Abandons the Trip Because the Kais-
er's Plans Do Not Admit of His
Reception.

Berlin, Dec. 2.-Mr. Kruger has aban-
doneG bis proposed visit to Berlin owing
to the receipt of an official intimation that
Emperor William regrets that in conse-
quence of previous arrangements he will
be unable to receive him.
The Boer statesman will therefore pro-
ceed direct from Cologne to Holland. He
telegrapbed to this effect this afternoon.
The Cologne Gazette" in an inspired
article, says:-
"Mr. Kruger's visit is not agreeable to
Germany, his aim being to obtain inter-
vention in South Africa. 1t would be a
grave political mistake, it would be even
great crime, TO allow him to entertain
even a spark of hope that Germany will
render him any practical support"

NICARAGUA CANAL.

On this important question the President
says
"The all-important matter Of an inter
oceanic canal has assumed a new phase.
Adhering to its refusal to reopen the
question of the forfeiture of the contract Of
the Maritime Canal Company, which was
terminated for alleged no-nexecution in
October, 1899, the Government Of Mica
ragua has since supplemented that action
by declaring the so-styled Eyre.C .Cragin op-
ton void for nonpayment of the stipulated
advance. Protests in relation to these
acts have been filed in the State Depar,-
ment and are under consideration. Deem.
ing itself relieved from existing engage
ments, the Nicaraguan Government shows
a disposition to deal freely with the canal
question either in the way of negotiations
with the United States or by taking meas
ures to promote the waterway.
"Overtures for convention to effect the
building of canal under the auspices Of
the United States are under consideration.
In the meantime, the views of the Con.
gress upon the general subject, in the light
of the report of the Commission appointed
to examine the comparative merits of the
various trans -Isthmian ship-canal projects,
may be awaited.
81 commend to the early attention o.
the Senate the Convention with Great
Britain to facilitate the construction o
such canal and TO remove any objection

Winston Churchill Thinks This Number
of Extra Regular Troops Is Needed
in Africa.

Queenstown, Dec. 2.-Winston Spencer
Churchill, who sailed from Liverpool yes
terday for New York, said in the course
of an interview here that his sojourn in
the United States would be short, as be
must hurry back to his Parliamentary
duties.
When questioned with regard to the
war in South Africa, be said he agreed
with Lord Roberts, that 20, 900 more regu-
lars should be sent out, because any slack
ening would only revive the spirits of the
Beers. He estimated the Boer forces at
present to be about 1000.

INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION.

Speaking on this subject the President
says
"It is With satisfaction that l am able to
announce the formal notification at The
Hague, on September 4, of the deposit OF
ratifcations of the Convention OF the Pa
cifc Settlement of International Disputes
by eixteen Powers, namely, the United
States, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Eng

FINANCIAL ACT OF 1900.

FINANCIAL ACT OF 1900.
On the financial question, the President
in part says
"The beneficial effect of the financial act
of 1900, so far as it relates to a modi6ca'
ton of the national banking act, is already
apparent. The provision for the incOrpor-
alton of national banks with a capital of
not less than $50, 900 in places not exceed
inc three thousand inhabitants has result
ed in the extension of banking facilities to
many small communities hitherto unable
to provide themselves with banking insti-
tutions under the national system. There
weie organized from the enactment of the
law up to and including November 80, 1863
national banks, of which 266 were with
capital less than $4,000, and l03 with
capital of $780, 900 or more.
alt is worthy of mention that the great
er number of banks being organized under
the new law are in sections where the need
of banking facilities has been most pro-
nounced Iowa stands first, with 30 banks
of the smaller class, while Texas, Okla
homa, Indian Territory, and the middle
and western sections of the country have
also availed themselves largely Of the priv
ileges under the new law.
"a large increase in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
circulation has resulted from the provision
of the act which permits national banks to
issue circulating notes to the par value OF
the United States bonds deposited as Sc
cunty instead of only 80 per cent. thereof,
as heretofore. The increase in circulating
notes from March IA to November 30 is
$77, ,SS9.57O"

REVIEW OF EVENTS OF YEAR.
The Message Opens With a COngrafulatOry
Paragraph, And Is An Able Review OF
Events That Have TranSpired Dur
ing The Past Year in Which
Our Government Is
Interested.

President McKinley's annual message,
sent to Congress on Monday, the Srd inst''
is too long to admit of publication IN our
columns. 1t is an able review o: all ques'
tions and events that affect the interests
of this country that have occurred during
the past year. In part, it is as follows;
"ro the Senate and House of Represen-
tatives:
.At the outgoing of the old and the In
coming of the new century you begin the
last session of the Fifty-sixth Congress
with evidences on every hand OF lndlvld'
ual and national prosperity and with
proof of the growing strength and lncreas-
ing power for good of Republican institu'
tions. Your countrymen will join with
YOU in felicitation that American liberty
is more firmly established than ever be-
fore. and that love for it and the deter
mination to preserve it are more univer'
sal than at any former period OF our his
tory.
"The republic was never so strong, BE-
cause never so strongly intrenched IN the
hearts of the people as now. The constl-
tutor with few amendments, exists as II
left the hands of Its authors. The addl-
tiops which have been made to it proclaim
larger freedom and more extended cltizen'
ship. Popular government has demon
strated in its one hundred and twenty-Iour
wears of trial here its stability and security
and its efficiency as the best instrument
of national development and the best saie-
guard to human rights.
When the Sixth Congress assembled In
November, 1900, the population OF the
United States was 5,30S.4S3. 1t Is now
76.3O4,799. Then we had sixteen States
Now we have forty-fye. Then our terri
tory consisted of 9O9. $50 square miles. 1t
is now S,S46, ,595 square miles. Education
religion, and morality have kept pace with
our advancement in other directions, and
while extending its power the government
has adhered to its foundation principles
abated none of them in dealing with our
new peoples and possessions, A nation
so preserved and blessed gives reverent
thanks to God and invokes His guidance
and the continuance Of His care and Ia
vor.

1t is understood, however, that general
ly Nicaragua grants to the United States
Government the exclusive right to con-
struct and operate the canal between the
Atlantic and Pacific across Nicaragua, in
cluding the the free use of the San Juan
River and of Lake Managua, as part OF

On this question he says;
''I am satisfied the judgment of the
country favors the policy of aid to our
merchant marine, which will broaden our
commerce and markets and upbuild our
sea-carrying capacity for the products of
agriculture and manufacture, which, with
the increase of our navy, mean more work
and wages to our countrymen, as well as
safeguard to American interests in every
part of the world"

TRUSTS.

'In my last annual message to the Con-
gress called attention to the necessity
for early action to remedy such evils as
might be found to exist in connection with
combinations of capital organized into
trusts, and again invite attention to my
discussion of the subject at that time,
which concluded with these words:
1T is apparent that uniformity of legIs-
lation upon this subject in the several
States is much to be desired. 1t is to be
hoped that such uniformity, founded in a
wise and Just discrimination between what
is injurious and what is useful and neces'
sary III business operations, may be OBJ
tanned, and that means may be found for
the Congress, within the limitations OF
its constitutional power, 30 to supplement
an effective code of State legislation as to
make a complete system of laws through
out the United States adequate to compel
a general observance of the salutary rules
to which ! have referred.
'The whole question is so important
and far.reaching that am sure no part
of it will be lightly considered, but every
phase of it will have the studied delibera-
ton of the Congress, resulting in wise and
judicious action"
Restraint upon such combinations as
are injurious, and which are within FEEDER
al jurisdiction, should be promptly -ap-
piled by the Congress.
The President refers to the remarkable
growth of our trade with foreign countries,
stating that our exports were greater this
year than ever before, this obtained in
both manufactured articles and agricultur-
al products.

THE ARMY.

The President states that we require
regular army of 60, 900 men; and that dur
ing the continuance of the troubles in
Cuba and the Philippines the President
should have authority to increase the pres
ent force to 100000, of which force $4,000
should be native troops raised in the Pill
ippines.
He recommends the laying of a cable
from the Pacific coast to Manila, via Ha'
waii.
He approves of the recommendations OF
the Secretary of the Navy for building
new vessels and otherwise strengthening
our Navy.
He states that "there has been marked
progress in the educational. agricultural
and railroad development of the islands Of
Hawaii"
The message is an elaborate and clear
presentation of all questions that required
notice at the hands of the President, aud
is receiving very favorable notice from the
press and public.

An Incident That Has Reused Akron's
Neighbors.

4 fairly well dressed young man
called at the home of Moses Housor,

place that would be near his work. He
was denied permission by MIR. Houscr
to board there but was given q meal.

LINING UP ON The TRUSTS.
(From the Philadelphia Record)

(From the Philadelphia Record)
As the Presidential campaign opens
there Is no mlstaking the widely op-
posite positions of the two parties In
Congress on the trusts. Whatever the
new enemies of Governor Plngree, of
Michigan, may say of him since he
has renounced the Republican party,
they win find 1t very hard to refute
his declaration that in regard to trusts
the Republican leaders deserve no
confidence, and that the only hope of
restraining these monopolies is In the
Democracy. In the debate in the Sen.
ate on Tuesday last Mr.. Sewell, of
New Jersey, gave proof of great frank
ness and courage In his euloglum OF
the trusts as benefactors of mankind
In cheapening the cost OF the necessar-
les of living. The masses of the Amer
lean people, who contribute to the
enormous dividends of the Standard
oil Company and enable the Sugar
trust to divide profits on stock water
ed TO five times the value of the plant
II represents, have very different opln,
ion as to the character and influence
OF this entire class of trade monopo-

been impossible Tor the trusts to have
screwed up the prices of structural

phatic answers to General Sewell's
