IlinoXs by surrendering to the United Sttttca, In the absence of a Convention of extradition, but upon duly subnilttep evidence of crnninali ty, a noted fugitive from justice, it is trusted that tho negotiations of a treaty with the country to meet recur ring cases of this kind will soon bo ac complished. In my opinion, treaties ? for reciprocal extradition should be concluded with all those countries with which the United States has not Slreodv conventional arrangements of that character. I he vc. deemed It fitting to express to the governments of Costa Rica and Colombia, the klndlv desire of the Unir tea mates to see tneir pending; oouna ury dispute tinally closed by arbitra tion in conformity with the spirit of the treaty concluded between them some yoars ago. OUB It. I'Koi'K A N BKLATIONS, I Our relations with Franco continue to be intimate and cordial, I sincerely I hope that the extradition treaty with tli.ii country, as amended by the sen* I ate, will soon be in operation. While occasional questions affecting I our naturalized citizens returning to I the land of their birth have arisen in I our intercourse with Gormany, our re lations with that country oontinue satisfactory. The questions affecting our relations I with Oreat Britain have been treated in a spirit of friendliness. Negotia tions aro in progress betweon the two governments with a view to such con curront action as will make the award and regulations agreed upon by the Mehring sea tribunal of arbitration Sractically effective; and it is not oubted that Oreat Hritain will co-op erato freely with this country for the accomplishment of that purpose. The dispute growing out of tho discrimi nating tolls imposed in the Weiland cuuul, upon cargoes of cereals bound to and from tho lako ports of the Uni ted States was adjusted by the substi tution of a more equitable of charges, and my predecessor thereupon, sus pended his proclamation imposing dis criminating tolls upon British transit through our Canals. A request for additions to the list of extraditable offenses covered by the existing treaty betweon tho two coun tries is under consideration. FBANOB AND T.mEBIA. A notable part of tho southeasterly coast of Liberia, between tho Cavally und San Pedro rivers, which for nearly half a century has been generally rec ognized as belonging to that republic by cession and purcnuso has been claimed to be under the protectorate of France in virtue of agreements entered into by the native tribes over whom Liberia's control has not been woll maintained. More recently, negotiations betweon tho Liberlau representative and the French fovornment resulted in tho signature at 'arin of a treaty whereby, as an ad justment, cortrin Liberiau territory is ceded to Franco. This convention at last advices had not boon ratified by tho Liberlan legislature and oxceutlve. Feeling a sympathetic Interest in tho fortunes of tho little commonwealth, the establishment and development of which was largely aided by the benevo lence of our countrymen, an I which constitutes the only independently sov ereign state on tho west coast of Africa, this government has suggested to tho French government its earnest concern lest territorial impairmcmt in Liberia should take place without her uncon strained consent. MEXICO 18 ALT. BI0IIT. Our relations with Mexico continue to bo of that close and friendly nature which should always characterize tho intercourse of two neighboring repub lics. NICARAGUA'S CIVIL TROUBLES. Nicaragua has passed through two revolutions, the party at first success ful, having In turn been displaced by another, and our nowly appointed minister, by his timely good otlices, aided in u peaceful adjustment of tho controversy Involved in the first con flict. The large American interests established in that country in connec tion with tho Nicaragua canal were not molested. The United States' are especially in terested in tho successful achievement of tho vast undertaking this company has in charge. That it should be ac complished under distinctively Ameri can auspices and its enjoyment assured not only to the vessels of this country as a channel of communication be tween our Atlantic and Pacific sea boards, but to the ships of the world in the interest of civilization, is a prop osition which, in my judgement docs not admit of question. NEW EXTRADITION TREATIES. An extradition treaty wiWi Norway has recently been exchanged and pro claimed. Tho extradition treaty with Russia, signed in March 18S7 and amended and confirmed by the senate in February last, was duly proclaimed last June. CLAIMS AGAINST SPAIN. More than fifteen years ago this gov ernment preferred a claim against Spain in behalf of one of our citizens for property seized and confiscated in Cuba. In 1880 the claim was adjusted, Spain agreeing to pay uncondition ally, as a fair Indemnit^JH,500,000. A respectful but earnest note wns recently addressed to tho Spanish gov ernment, insisting upon tho prompt fulfillment of its long neglected obli gation. Other claims preferred by tho United States against Spain, in behalf of Amer ican citizens, for property confiscated In Cuba, have been pending for many years. At the time Spain's title to the Carolina Islands was confirmed by arbitration, that government agreed that tho rights which had been acquired there by Amer ican missionaries, should bo recognized and respected. It Is sincerely hoped that this pledge will be observed oy allowing pur missionaries, who wore removed from Ponapo to a place of safety by a United States war ship during the late trouble between the. Spanish garrison and tho natives, to return to tholr fiold of usefulness. TROUBLE WITH THE TURKS. Important matters have demanded our attentions to the Ottoman Porte. Tho firing and partial destruction, by an unrestrained mob, of ono of the school buildings of Anatolia College, es tablished by citizens of tho United States at Marsovan, and the apparent indlffor enco of tho Turkish government to the outrage, notwithstanding the complicity of some of its Officials, called for earnost remonstrance, which was followed by promises of reparat ion and tho punish ment of the offei'?i?ra. Indemnity for tue injury to tvno nuuaings nus aireaoy been paid, permission to rebuild given, registration of tho school property In tho name of tho Amorlcan owners se cured, and efficient protection guaran teed. TUE HAWAIIAN EMUROOLYO. It is hardly necessary forme to state I that the questions arising from our relations with Hawaii have caused se rious embarrassment. Jsut prior to the installment of the present administration, tho existent Sovornment of Hawaii had been sud enly overthrown, and a treaty of an nexation had been negotiated be tween tho provisional government of the islands and tho United States and mi limit t en to the senate for certifica tion. i nis treaty i witnurow lor exarni ontion and dispatched Hon. James If. Blount, of Georgia, to Honolulu ns a special messengor to make an impar tial investigation of tho circumstances' ni tending t he change of government, and of all the conditions bearing upon : tho subject of tho treaty. After a thorough and exhaustive ex-' sxaminatlon, Mr. lilount submitted to me his report, showing beyond all question that tho constitutional gov ernment of Hawaii had been sub rorted with the active aid of our rep resentative to that government and through the intimidation caused by the prosence of armed naval force of the .United States which was landed that purpose at the instanco of our minister. Ui>nn the facts developed, it seemed J co me lout tno ouiy nonoraoie <?? <m I for our government to pursue was to i undo the wrong that nad, been done by those representing us, and to re store, as far as practicable, the status existing at the time of our forcible in tervention. FR0OBE8S OF ARMTRATION. By a concurrent resolution passed by tho senate February 14, 181)0, and by tho house of representatives on tho 3rd of April following, the president was re quested "to invite from timo to time, as at occasions may arise, negotiations with any government with which the United States 1 ius or may have diplo matic relations, to tho end thut any dif ferences or disputes arising between tho two governments which cannot bo ad justed by diplomatic agency, may ho rpferrcd to arbitration and bo peaceably adjusted by such means." April lb, 18?0, the International American Conference of Washington, by resolution expressed the wish that tho controversies between tho republics of America and tho nations of Kuropo might be settled by arbitration and rec ommended that the government of eaeh nation represented iu that conference should communicate this wish to all friondly powers. A favorablo responso bus been re served from Great Britain in tho shape, of a resolution adopted by the pari la ment July 10th, lust, cordially sympu-. thi/.ing with the purpose in view und expressing the hope that her majesty's, government will lend ready co operation to the government of the United States; open tho basis of tho concurrent reso lution ahovo quoted. It affords mo signal ploasuro to lay; this parliamentary resolution before tho,' jongress, and to express my Sincere, gratification thut the sentiment of two Keat and kindred nations is thus au-i I oritatively manifested in favor of tho 1 rational and peaceable settlement of International quarrels by honorable re sort to arbitration. STATK OF TUB TIIEA8?HY. The secretary of the treasury reports that tho receipts of tho government from all sources during tho fiscal year ending June 30, 181)3, amounted to 0401,710,861.94, and its expenditures to 8459,374,074.29. There was collected' from customs 8806,855,010.78, and from Internal revenue 8101,087,088.03. Our dutiable imports amounted to $431,856, 711, an increase of ?52,453,007 over tho preceding year, and importations freo of duty amounted to $444,545,211, a de crease from tho preceding year .of. 81:1,455,447* Internal revenue receipts exceeded of the proceeding year by 67,147,440.32. It is estimated upon the basis of tho present revenue laws that tho re ceipts of the government for the year ending Juno 30, 1804, will bo 8580,131, 805.38 and its expenditures 8458,131, 305.38, rosulting in a deficiency of 828.000,000. On the first day of November, 1893. tho amount of money of all kind:, in circulation, or not included in treas ury holdings, was 81,718,544,083, an in crease for the year of S112,40s,047. Estimating our population at 07,420,- ; 000 at tho time mentioned, tho por capita circulation was $35.40. During the year 110 banks were or gnnlzed in thirty-two states and ter ritories with a capital stock of $11, 230,000, distributed as follows: Forty-four with n capital stock of 85,135,000 in tho aastorn states; forty- j one with a capital .stock of $2,340,000, west of tho Mississippi river, and thir ty-four with a capital stock of ?3,755,000 In tho central and southern states. Within tho same period 158 banks suspended with a capital stock of S30, 300,000. Of this number eighty-six with a capital stock of $18,305,000 re sumed, and sixty-live passed into tho hands of rceoivers, with a capital stock of 810,885,000. TUE SHERMAN LAW REPEAL. The recent repeal of the provision of law requiring the. purchase of silver bullion hy tho government as a feature of our monetary scheme has made an entire ohange in the complexion of our currency affairs. I do not doubt that the ultimate result of this action will bo most salutary and far-reaching. . In the nature of things, however, it is Impossible to know at t his time precisely what conditions will be brought about by the change, or what, if any, supple mentary legislation may, In the light of such conditions, appear to be essential or expedient. Of course, after tin; recent financial porturbation, timo is necessary for tho ro-establishmentof business confidence. When, however, through this restored confidence, tho money which has been frightened into hoarding places is re turned to trade and enterprise, a survey of tho situation will probably disclose n> Bufo path leading to a permanently sound currency abundantly sufficient to meet every requirement of our increasing population and business. In the pursuit of this object we should resolutely turn away from all nllurlng and temporary expedients, determined to be contont with nothing less than a lasting and comprehensive financial plan. REASONABLE DELAY TUB BEST. In theso circumstances I nm convinced thot a reasonable delay in dealing with this subject, instead of being injurious, will increaso the probability of wiso no tion. THE MONETARY CONFERENCE. Tho monetary conference which as sembled at Brussols upon our Invitation, was adjourned to tho* 30th day of No vember in the present year. Tho consideration just stated and tho fact that a definite proposition from us seemed to be oxpected upon the veasseml/ltng of the conference1 I -il me to expressa willingness to have tho meeting still /.either postponed. It seems to me that it would be wise to give general authority to the presi dent to invite other nations to Stioh a conference at any timo when there should bo a fair prospect of accom plishing an international ugreeinent on tho subject of coinage. AS TO A BOND ISSUE. I dosiro also to earnestly suggest, tho wisdom of amending the existing statutes in regard to the issuance of government bonds. The authority now vested in tho secretary of the treasury to issue bonds is not ns clear as it should be tmd tho bonds authorized aro disad vantageous to tho government, both os to the timo of their maturity and rato of interest. OUIt MILITARY FOOTING. Tho secretary of war reports that tho Strength of tho army on the :;oth day of September last was 25,778 enlisted men and 2,144 officers. The total expendi tures of the department for the year ending Juno 80, 1808, amounted to 651,066,074.80. Of this aura 81,902,581.05 Was for salaries and contingent ex I'lenses. 828,877,828.05 for tho support of he military establishment, ?0,077,033.18 foiMnisctqmlcnuH objeeis and $20,518, f.31.41 for^^dic works. This latter (um includos?B,20ft,870.10 for river nnd iitrbor improvements and ?3,200,111.20 for fortifications and other works of defense. Tho total enrollment of tho militia of tho several states was on the 31st of October of the current yeor, 112,597 officers end enlisted men. The offlcors of tho army detailed for tho inspection und instruction of this reserve of our military force, report that increased in terest anil marked progross are appa rent in tho discipline and effcloncy of the organization. OUR SRACOAST DE FEN OES. It Is gratifying to note that we have h*min to train eomoloted results Ul the comprehensive scheme <>r seaeoast ae fensu and fortificution entered upon eight years ago. A large sum has been nlreudy expended, but tho cost of main tenance will bo iuconsiderablo as com pared with the expense of construction and ordnance. At tho end of tho cur rent calendar year, the war department will have 9 twelve-inch guns, 20 teu ineh nnd 34 eight-iuch guns ready to bo inoumco on gun lifts and carriages, and 76 twelve-inch mortars. In addition to tho product of tho army gun factory, now completed at Wutorvilet, the gov ernment has contracted with private parties for the purchase of ono hundred guns of these calibers, tho llrstof which should be delivered to the department for test before July 1, 1894. Tho reports of the mllltury academy at West Point and the several schools for the special Instruction of ofll eers, showed marked advance In the education in tho army and u commend able ambition to lit themselves for the highest servico of the country. the i.eoal department. The report of the uttornoy-goneral contains the usual summary of the uii'uivs and proceedings of the depart ment of justieo for the past year, to gether with curtain recommendations as to needed legislation on various; subjects. ? I cannot too heartily endorse the proposition that the fee system as ap plicable to thr compensation of United States attorneys, marshals, clerks of federal courts and United States cord missioners should, be abolished with as little delay us possible. It is clearly in tho interest of the community that the business of the courts, both civil and criminal, shell be as craull and inexpensively transacted as tho ends of justice will allow. 1 also heartily join tho attorney general in recommending legislation lixing tho degrees pf the crime of mur der within tlie federal jurisdiction, as lias-been done in many of tho states, authorizing writs of error on behalf of the government in eases where final judgement is rendered against the suf ficiency of an indictment or ugainst the government upon uny other ques tion arising before actual trial; limit ing tho right of review of cases of fel ony punishable only by fine and iin prisonmoJit to the circuit court of ap peals and making speedy provision for the construction of such prisons and reformatories ns may bo necessary lor tho confinement of United States con victs. in the POSTOFFIOK. The report of the postmaster gen eral contains a detailed statement of the operation of the posto?lcq depart ment during tho last liscal year and much inserosting information touch ing this inibortant branch of tho pub lic service. Tho business of the mails indicates with absolute certainty the condition of tho business of the couutrj', and de pression in financial aft'airs inevitably und quickly reduces tho postal reve nues. Therefore, a larger discre pancy than usual between the post ollico receipts and expenditures is the evpeoted and unavoidable result of the distressing stringency which has prevailed throughout tho country dur ing much of toe time covered by the postmaster general's report. The postotlieo receipts for the lust liscal year amounted to $?72,776,033.0 audits expenditure to 881,074,014.99. This postollleo deficiency would disappear if less matter was carried free through tho mails, an item of which is upward <>f thrco hundred tons of seeds and grain from tho agri cultural department. The total number of postofllces in the United States on the 30th of Juno, 1 n'.i:?, was 03,402, in increase of 1,234 over tho preceding year. Of theso 3,300 were presidential, an Increase in that class of 'jo I over the proceeding year. There are now connected to the post ofliec establishment 28,824 employes who are in tho classified service. vai.uk OV THE civil 6ervice. The head of this department gives conclusive evidence of t he value of civil service reform, when, a f tor an experience that renders his conclusion reliable, ho expresses the opinion that without the benefit of this system would bo impossi ble to conduct the vast business cn? trusted to biiu. I desiro to commend as especially worthy of prompt attention, the sugges tion of the postmaster general relating to a more sensible and business-like or ganization and a better distribution of responsibility in hi - department. OUR GROWING navy. The report of the secretary of the navy oontains a history of the operations of bis department during the past year, and exhibits a most gratifying condition of tho personnel of our navy. Ho pre sents a sat isfactory account of tho pro gress which has been made in the con si ruction of vessels and makes a number of recommendations to which attention Is especially iuvited. While! I am distinctly in favor of con* sistontly pursuing the policy wo have inaugurated of building up a thorough and efficient navy. 1 cannot refrain from the suggestion that congress should carefully tako into account the unfin ished vessels on our ha mis and the de pleted condition of our treasury in con sidering-the propriety of an appropria tion at this time to begin new work. the civil SERVICE. The continued intelligent execution of the civil service law and the increas ing approval by the people by its oper ations are most gratifying. 1 am, if possible, more than ever con vinced of the mcaloulablo benefits con-1 forrod by tho civil servico law, not only in its offect upon tho public per-1 vice, but also what is oven more im- ! portnnt in its effect in elevating tho tone of political lifo generally. FOR ta IJIPK URFORM, I After a hard struggle, tariff reform is directly before us. Nothing -so im portant claims our at tciilion and noth ing so clearly presents itself as both an'opportunity and a duty, an oppor tunity to deserve the gratitude of our follow citizens and a duty imposed upon us by our oft-repeated profes sions and by the emphatic mandate of the people. After full discussion, our country men have spoken in favor of this ro form, and tliey have confided the work of its accomplishment to tho hands of those who are solemnly pledged to it. Nothing should intervene to distract our attention or disturb our effort un til this reform is accomplished by wise and caioful legislation. Tim WILSON DILL. A measure has been prepared by the appropriate congressional committee, embodying tariff reform on the lines "herein suggested, which will bo promptly submitted for legislative ac tion. It is the result of much patriotic and unselfish work, and I believe it deals with its subject consistently and as thoroughly as existing conditions permit. i on an income tjuc. The committee, after full considera tion, and to provide against a temporary dofloioncy which may exist before tho bUSlceSfl of the country adjusts Itself to tho new tarilf Schedules, have wisely embraced in their schedule a few addi tional internal rovenuo taxes, including a small tux upon Income derived from certain corporate Investments. These new assessments arc not only absolutely just and easily borne, but they have tho fart 1.er merit of being such as can bo remitted without unfa vorable bus.locas disturbance whenever ob? necessity ior incur ir?u?.__ _ longer exists. In my great desire for the success of this measure, I cannot restrain the sug gestion that its success can only bo at tained by means of unselfish counsel on tho purt of tariff reform, and as a result of their willingness to subordinate per sonal desires and ambitions to tho gen eral good. The local interests affected by the proposed reform are so numerous and so vurled thut if all aro insisted upon the legislation embodying the re form must inevitably fail. in conclusion. In conclusion, my intense feeling of responsibility impels me to invoke for the manifold interests of a generous and confiding people the most scrupulous cure, ana to plcdgo my willing support to every legislative effort for tho ad vancement of tho greatness and pros perity of our country.

State Commissioner Traxler has issu ed his lirst report of tho State dispen sary from July 1st to October 1st. In his opening remarks he says : "I wish to bring to yotfr notice thut on Juno 30th all tho glass factories c'osed down until September 10th, ami with only limited experience in this lino, our purohuso of bottles were in Butnoient to tide us through, and we wore forced to buy a quantity ol plain bottles (without the Palmetto design) to supply our dispensaries. Although our contract was explicity understood to cover bottles full measure only, u small quantity was shipped out before wo detected, which were short. I issued a circular to all dispensaries telling them of the fact, with instruc tions to sell no one without furnishing the information. With this exception, our people have been furnished with good mousure and proof goods, and. I believe, general satisfaction bus keen given. We at lirst used barrels for shlpmont, but soon found out the breakage was so heavy a better plan had to be adopted, and now wo are* us ing bottles which held regular quanti ties, and at "least .">0 per cent less break ago. Our working force consists of a superintendent, bookkeer and assist ant, freight and ollico clerk, fourteen women and forty men, who are busily engaged in wasing, filling, corking, stamping, sealing, labeling and pack ing goods. 1 have recently healed the working floors with steam piping, which makes it comparatively comfort able for our employes. $000,000 BUSINESS A VEAK. "Tho building . is rather small to handle the business properly, still 1 believe WO can pull through all right. It might not bo amiss to mention in V .i? connection that the figures point to at ioa<>i> *n90,0pp worth of business per annum. "In conclusion, allow mo to call your attention to the manner in which the railroads are treating us. You are aware tho railroad commissioners made a special class for our shipments. To this the railroads protested, and refused to recognize it. So wo wore forced to accept a rate on our goods which carries a release on account of breakage or pay the high rate of first class on all shipments. Our liquors aro handled carelessly and roughly, as is shown by my account of breakage: and the robbery committed, as report ed by our disuonsoi's, show willful neglect of duty by their employes. Wo make our claims for losses prompt ly and show their bills of lading that goods were received in good order. But the results are our claims are re fused, and we are told your goods are ?(?leased". We should have protection in tilts mutter, unless a remedy is ap plied, the State will continue to suffer at their hands. Our freights have been refused nnd hold because the charges diil not accompany the goods. J when we uro im formed any merchant In t he oity can carry regular accounts. These matters show conclusively the j obstacles and prejudice we have to contend with by tho railroads. While charging the same rate of freight] as the other railroads, the WihninJ. on. Columbia and Augusta and Ceo, ia. Carolina and Northern have, been I..ore friendly to us and have treated us mere courteously throughout."

Howard, alias a half dozen other names, whose trial at Jackson, Tonn., last week resulted in a hung jury, and who. on December 1. will enter upon a second trial wherein he will bo charged with a multiplicity of gigantic frauds. ? Howard is known in this country as a straggling Baptist minister, president of a denominational college, editor of a religious paper and railroad president. It is sought in the trial of bis easo to show that while nominally following the peaceful a vocations stated ho really was engaged in a systematic and elab orate scheme of vlllauy requiring the arts of a practical schemer and tho adaptability of a polished man of the world. The operations with which ho Is charged have been carried into thousands of homes in America, while in England leading statesmen and diplomats have been used unwittingly to themselves but with gretit cITect by tin: shrewd manipulator; and during the fruitless trial just ended witnesses whose names are familiar in public af fairs in both countries have appeared to testify. the english estate fraud.

The posters advised the con nections of such families to write to " William Lord Moore. ."> Ingersoll Road, Shepherd's Hush, London. Eng." on the chance that they might bo tho heirs to such estates. These posters were mailed from New York lo postmasters in all parts of America. The postmasters were told that if they hung up the notice in their office they would receive $1,000 in cash in case any of these heirs came Into an estate through seeing it.

The real causo of William's retire ment to a watering place was not so much fatigue, tho result of tho urduous labors in " looking up this claim," as the fact that the London polico had boon apprised of his little scheme to rob the unsophisticated. A lottor to ono of the claimants from the Scotland Yard authorities says that "William Lord Moore." alias "Felix Howard." was a swindler, and left England for America about tho time Joseph Leger bogan to liguro in Now York. About tho sumo timo the United States post oflico department learned of the opera tions of tho gang in New York. Ever on the alert, the schemers got wind of an intended arrest and decamped hur riedly. An examination of scores of letters written by William Lord Moore, Felix Howard, Joseph Loger. E. Ross and others concerned in the conspiracy shows that tho text of all is about tho same. They were all dictated by the same person. Some of the claimants failed to pay the bonds required, but many of them did, and enough money was paid to uggrogato probably several hundred thousand dollars for tho schemers. howard AS a LAWYER. About this time tho Rev. G. F. 13. Howard arrived in Jackson, Tonn., whore he had formerly lived and occu pied a conspicuous position. He hung out his shingle us a lawyer. Ho was a learned man and had travelled oxton sively. He had some success at tho the praco of law in Jackson, but ho de voted himself more particularly to arousing tho interest of the citizens of that place to a railroad enterprise, the Gulf and Tennessee Railway, a pro ject which had been agitated long be fore but never brought to a focus. Dr. Howard went at the business energeti cally. He went to England to interest capitalists in it. He organized the company and was himself made presi dent, after which he established elab orate olliees at Jackson, with many clocks and assistants. " "??\7.'i^'J.J?PEELE!{jst .^r?~?

Send stamped envelope. These postal cards wero sont out to no persons except those who had been in correspondence with the London and Now York gang of swindlers. Tney evoked replies from nearly every man or woman to whom they were ad dressed. Then letters* like tho follow ing were sent out: Dear Sir: While in Europe last month 1 "earned by accident that you had tried without success to collect some money due you ovorthoro.

These letters were sent out on the letter heads of tho railway company, whereon Howard figures as president of the company, also "collections a specialty." They were cnleuluted to interest the recipients, and thoy did not fail of their purpose So tho game was commenced all over again, and many a shekel dropped into Howard's palm.
