THE MAYORS MESSAGE.

TO the Honorable Board of Aldermen:
Gentlemen AT your last regular meet
ing the matter of installing police and
fire signal system was discussed by your
honorable body and the question was
referred to the representatives of the fire
insurance companies as to what con-
ccssions they would make in insurance
rates in the district covered by the pro-
posed system. Said companies have con-
sldered the same and report In favor of
making a substantial concession in their
rates which / believe will be much APP
prcciated by the persons owning pro
perty in the district effected. For this
reason, the proposition appeals TO me as
q good business proposition and | would
recommend that the matter be referred
to tho fire committee for investigation
and it be requested to report back to your
honorable body MS soon rs possible.
Respectfully submitted,

sured that an practicable measures VIII
DO taken by that country to prevent
any recurrence Of the outrage.
We have not relaxed our efforts to
secure an agreement with Great Brit
ain for adequate protection Of the seal
herd. and negotiations with Japan for
the same purpose are In progress.
The laws for the protection Of the

Second Hague Conference.
In my last message advised you
that the emperor of Russia had taken
the initiative In bringing about Sec
ond peace conference at The Hague.
Under the guidance Of Russia the ar
rangement OF the prellminaries for
such conference has been progressing
during the past year. Progress has
necessarily been slow, owing to the
great number of countries to be con-
suited upon every question that has
arisen. It Is matter Of satisfaction
that all of the American republics have
now, for the first time, been invited to
Join In the proposed conference.
Army and Navy.
It must ever be kept In mind that
war is not merely justifable, but i'm
perative upon honorable men. upon an
honorable nation. where peace can
only be obtained by the sacrifice Of
conscientious conviction or of national
welfare.
The United States navy is the surest
guarantor of peace which this country
possesses. | do not ask that we con-
tinue to increase our navy. ask
merely that II be maintained at Its
present strength, and this can be done
only If we replace the obsolete and out
worn ships by new and good ones, the
equals OF any afioat In any navy. 10
stop building ships for one year means
that for that year the navy goes back
instead OF forward.
In both the army and the navy there
Is urgent need that everything possible
should be done to maintain the highest
standard for the personnel alike as re-
CARDS the officers and the enlisted men.
I do not believe that In any service
there Is a finer body Of enlisted men
and of junior officers than we have In
both the army and the navy, including
the marine corps.
West Point and Annapolis already
turn out excellent officers. We do not
need to have these schools made more
scholastic. On the contrary, we should
never lose sight Of the fact that the
aim Of each school is to turn out a
man who shall be above everything
else fighting man.
There should soon be an Increase In
the number of men for our coast de-
lenses. These men should be of the
right type and properly trained, and
there should therefore be an increase
of pay for certain skilled grades, espe-
cially in the coast artillery. Money
should be appropriated to permit troops
to be massed In body and exercised In
maneuvers, particularly in marching.

The Rio Conference.
The second international conference
of American republics, held In Mexi-

the holding Of the third conference

fixing OF the time and place and the
arrangements for the conference to the

I'll the conference was held at Rio de

subjects Of common interest to all the
American nations were discussed by
the conference, and the conclusions

The AIgcciras Convention.
The Algeciras convention, which was
signed by the United States as well as
by most of the powers Of Europe, su-
persedes the previous convention of
1880, which was also signed both by
the United States and majority of
the European powers. This treaty
confers upon us equal commercial
rights with all European countries and
does not entail a single obligation Of
any kind upon us, and earnestly hope
1t may be speedily ratified.
Sealing.
The destruction of the Pribilof is
land fur seals by pelaglc sealing still
continues. The herd, which, according
to the surve y made In 1874 by direc-
ton Of the congress, numbered 4,700,-
900, and which, according to the sur
vey of both American and Canadian
commissioners In 1891, amounted to
100000, has now been reduced to
about 10000. This result has been
brought about by Canadian and some
other sealing vessels killing the female
seals while In the water during their
annual pilgrimage to and from the
south or In search of food.
The process Of destruction has been
accelerated during recent years by the
appearance of a number Of japanese
vessels engaged in pelagic sealing.
Suitable representations regarding
the incident have been made to the
