Awards Against Mexico
My predecessor communicated TO
the congress the fact that the Well
and La Abra awards against Mexico
have been adjudged by the highest
courts OF our country 10 have beer
obtained through fraud and perjury
on the part OF the claimants. and
that In accordance with the acts o.
the congress the money remaining
In the hands OF the secretary CT
state on these awards has been re-
turned 10 Mexico. A considerable
portion OF the money received from
Mexico on these awards had been
paid by this government TO the
claimants before the decision of the
courts had been rendered. My judg-
ment IL that the congress should
return TO Mexico an amount equal
to the sums thus already paid TO
the claimants.
The death OF Queen Victoria
caused the people OF the United
States deep and heartfelt sorrow,
20 which the government gave full
expression. When President Mchin-
ley died. our nation In turn received
from every quarter OF the British
empire expressions OF griel and SYM
patty no less sincere. The death
OF the empress dowager Frederick
OF Germany also aroused the genuine
sympathy Of the American people;
and this sympathy was cordially
reciprocated by Germany when the
president was assassinated. Indeed,
from every quarter Of the civtlized
world we received. at the time OF
the presidents death, assurances of
eueh grief and regard as TO touch
the hearts OF our people. In the
midst OF our affection we reversntly
thank the Almighty that We are
at peace with the nations OF man
kind; and we firmly intend that our
policy shall be such as TO continue
unbrolxen these international rela-
tions Of mutual respect and good

KRUGER GROWING WEAKER.
Only Held Up BY His Intense Hatred O
Great Britain.

The Hague, Oct. IA. D. w. VOL
marans, one of the Boer envoys who
has been visiting Mr.. Kruger, found
the mental condition of the ex-Presi-
dent of the Transvaal to be by no
means satisfactory. Mr.. Kruger is
slowly growing weaker, physically
and mentally.
His slowness in reachinga decision
on important questions is found to
be serious hindrance to those work
ing in Europe in behalf of the Boer
cause. At the slightest question re-
garding his health, Mr.. Kruger ex-
hibits intense irritation and We
hemently denies that anything is
wrong. The approach OF winter
causes anxiety, as Mr.. Kruger refuses
to leave Holland. According to a
remark made by a prominent Boer,
the ex-presidents' condition would
long since have been much worse il
hatred of Great Britain did not
nerve him to continue.

II hope not, Simmons" answered Jack;

My anxiety would have been very great

communication with Tardif, could not
believe any danger would threaten Olivia

her. She was of age. and had right to
act for herself. With two such friends
as Tardif and me, no one could force her
away from her chosen home.
