sess acquaintance win the resources Of
the United States.
IT is desirable to enact a proper ma
tional quarantine law.
| call your attention to the great
extravaganza in printing and binding
government publications and especially
to the fact that altogether too many of
these publications are printed.
CURRENCY.
The attention of the congress should
be especially given to the currency
question and that the standing commit
tees on the matter in the two houses
charged with the duty take up the mat
fer of our currency and see whether it
is not possible TO secure an agreement
in the business world for lettering the
system. The committees should IN
slider the question of the retirement Of
the ~greenbacks and the problem of Sc
curing in our currency such elasticity
as is consistent with safety. Every
silver dollar should be made by law re-
deemable in gold at the option of the
holder.
/ especially commend to your immedi-
ate attention the encouragement of our
merchant marine by appropriate legis-
lation.. i
The growing Importance of the orient
as a field for American exports drew
from my predecessor, President Me-
Kinley, an urgent request for its spe-
| cial consideration by the congress.
The Importance of securing proper
information and data with Il view to
the enlargement of our trade with Asia
is mdiminished. Our consular repre-
sentatlves in China have strongly
urged a place for permanent display of
American products in some prominent
trade center of that empire, under gov
eminent control and management. as
nm effective means Of advancing our
export trade therein. | call the atten-
ton of the congress TO the deslrability
of carrying out these suggestions.
IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIzA-
ZION.
In dealing with the questions of i'm
migration and naturalization ii is in
%dispensable to keep certain facts ever
before the minds of those who share
in enacting the laws. First and fore

DIVORCE LAWS ABROAD.
In France the Innocent Party May Res cover All the Presents He or
 She Has Given.

"There are many curious and inter- esting facts regarding the marriage and divorce laws of foreign countries, [ said R, J Brown, who, reports the In- dianapolis News, recently returned from trip abroad, where he made a study of the question.
 Breaches of promise are averted in Hungary by an express declaration of the civil marriage act (1895) that the relations created by a betrothal do not give the right to command the con- party withdraws from an engagement without just reasons he or she is bound to grant compensation to the extent of the outlay incurred. Divorce in the English sense does not exist. but the courts can decree the personal separation of a married couple with out dissolving the bonds of matrimony.
 "A curious law prevailing in France provides that, before being married, children of family, although over age, shall seek in respectful and formal terms the advice of their father and mother. It makes no difference, how ever, whether the consent of parents Is given, for the couple can be married a month after under any circumstances. This is also the case in the Nether- lands.
 "A divorce further entities the in nocent party to recover all the pres ents he or she may have made.
 "Accorcing to the constitution of the Netherlands, the civil marriage must always precede the religious ceremony. The latter, indeed, is left entirely to the conscience of the parties concerned. There is also law providing that no man or woman under 30 can marry without the consent of parents. If the consent be refused the couple have to appear before a judge, who advises them as he thinks best.
 Many countries have now abolished all marriage fees. This is the case in Norway, while in the Netherlands cer- tain days in the week are set apart when persons may be married without payment"
