The cruel treatment of inoffensive Chinese has, I regret tosay, been repeated in some estern States, and atrocities and people beyond the power of the local constituted authorities to prevent, and difficult to punish, are re- ported even in distant Alaska. Much of this violence can be traced to race prejudice and competition of labor, which cannot, however, justify the oppression of strangers whose is guaranteed by our treaty with * n opening our vast domain to alien elements, the purpose of our law-givers was to invite assimilation and not to provide an arena for e paramount duty of public order and defending the our own people may require — u oppres- special assurance that the Government of China, whose friendly disposition towards us I am most happy to in devising a comprehensive remedy, by which an effective limitation of Chihese emigration, joined to protection of these Chinese subjects who re- main in this country, may be secured.

PROPINQUITY, COMMUNITY OF LANGUAGE and occupation and similarity of political and social institutions indicate o practicability and obvious wisdom of maintaining mutual- ty beneficial and friendiy relations. Whiist unfeignedly desirous that such relations shouid exist between us and the inhabitants of Canada, yet the action of their officials during the past season towards our fishermen has been such as to seriously threaten their continuance. Al- though disappointed in my efferts to secure a satisfactory settlement of the fish question, negotiations are still pen ing, with reasonable hope that. before the close of the present session of Congress announcement may be made that an accept- able conclusion has been reached. As at an early day there may be laid before Congress the correspondence of the Department of State in relation to this important subject, so that the history of the } fishing season may be fully disclosed and the action and the attitude of the Administration clearly com- prehended, a more extended reference is not deemed necessary in this communication. THE ALASKA FRONTIER. The recommendation submitted last year that provision be made for a preliminary re- connoissance ofthe conventional boundary line between Alaska and British Columbia, is renewed. RECIPROCITY WITH HAWATI. Iexpress my unhesitating conviction that the intimacy of our relations with Hawaii should be empbasized. As a result of the reciprocity treaty of 1875, those islands, on the highway of Oriental and Australasian traffic, are virtually an outpost of American commerce, and a stepping-stone to the grow- ing trade of the Pacific. The Polynesfan Island groups have been so absorbed by other and more powerful Governments, that the Ha- walian Islands are left almost alone in the enjoyment of their autonomy, which it Is importan* for us should be preserved. Our treaty is now terminable on one year’s notice; but propositions to abrogate it would be, in mv judgment, most ill advised. The para- mount influence we have there acquired once relinquished could only with difficulty be re- gained and a valuable ground of vantage for ourselves might be converted into aetrong- hold for our commercial competitors. I ear- nestly recommend that the existing treaty stipulations be extended fora further term of seven years. A recently signed treaty to this end is now before the Senate. The impor- tance of telegraphic communication between these islands and the United States should not be overlooked. * 4 REVISION OF JABANESE TREATIES. The question of a general revision of the treaties of Japan is again under diseussion at Tokio. As the first to open relations with that empire, and as the nation in most direct co mercial relations with Japan, the United States has lost no opportunity to testify their con- sistent friendship by supporting the just claims of Japan to autonomy and — ee. dence among nations. A treaty of extradition between the United States and Japan, the first concluded by that Empire, has been iate- ly proclaimed. THE WEAKNESS OF and the difficulty of maintaining effective sovereignity over its outiying districts have ex- posed that Republic to encroachment, It can- not be forgotten that this distant community is an offghoot of our own system, owing ts origin to the associated benevolence of Ameir- ican citizens, whose praiseworthy efforts to create a nucleus of civilization inthe Dark Continent have commanded re- spect and sympathy everywhere, especially in this country. Althougha formal protectorate over Liberia is contrary to our traditional olicy, the moral right and duty of the United tates to assist, in all proper ways, in the maintenance of its integrity is ob: s, and has been consistently announced g near- ly half a century. recommend that, in reorganization of our navy, a rine vessel, no LIBERIA longer found adequate to our sented to Liberia to be employ INTERCOURSE WITH MEXICO.

Our commercial tre of 1831 with Mexico was terminated, according to its 282888 in 1881 upon notification given by loo in pursuance of her announced policy of recasting all her commercial treawes. Mex- ico has since concluded with several foreign Governments new treaties of commerce and navigation, defining alien rights ot trade, property and residence, treatment of ship- ping, consular privileges and the like. Our et unexecuted reciprocity convention of 883 covers none of these points, the settlement of which is 80 neces- sary to good relationship. I propose to initiate with Mexico negotiations for a new — enlarged treaty of commerce and naviga- on. THE CUTTING IMBROGLIO. In compliance with a resolution of the Sen- ate, I communicated to that body on August? last, and also to the House of Representatives, the correspondence in the case of A. K.

The naval officer who bore to Siberia the testimonials bestowed by Congress, in recog- nition of the aid given to the Jeannette sur- vivors, has successfully accomplished mission. His interesting report will be sub- mitted. It is pleasant to know that this mark of appreciation has been welcomed by. the Russian Government and people as befits the traditional friendship of the two countries. TROUBLE IN THE SAMOAN ISLANDS. Civil perturbations in the Samoan Islands have, during the past few years, been a sources of considerable embarrassment to the three Governments, Germany, Great Britain and the United states, whose relations and extra-ter- ritorial rights in that important group are guaranteed by treaties. The weakness of the native adwinistration and the conflict of op- ing interests in the Islands have ng Malietoa to seek alliance or protection in some quarter, regardless of the distinct engagements, whereby no one of these three treaty ag a may angus any paramount or exclusive interest. In May last Malietoa of- lace Samoa under the proce States, and the late consul authority, assumed to proceedings were prom vowed, and the over-zealous o recalled. Special agents of the three Gov- ernments have been deputed to examine the situation in the Island.

Itappearing that the Government of Spain did not extend to the flag of the United States in the Antilles the full measure of reciprocity ance of the suspension of discriminations against the Spanish flag in our ports I was constrained in October last to rescind my redecessor’s proclamation of February M, 884, permitting such suspension. An arrang®é- ment was, however, speedily reac „ and upon notification from the Government of Spain that all differential treatment of our vessels and their cargoes from the United States or from any foreign country had 29 completely and absolutely relinquished, availed myself of the discretion conferred by law, and issued on the 27th of my proclamation, deciaring reciprocal suspensionin the United States. It is most j ng to. bear testimony to the earnest spirit in which the Government of the nt has met our efforts to avert the initiation of commercial discriminations and reprisals which are ever disastrous to mate interests and the political good of the countries they may affect.
