On tha 17th Gen. Shatter occupied the city. The capitulation embraced the entire eastorn end of Cuba. The number of Spanish soldiers surrendered was 22,000, all of whom were subsequently conveyed to Spain at tho ohargo of tho United States. Tho story of this successful campaign Is told In the report of the secretary of war, which will be laid before you. Tho Individual valor of officers and soldiers was never more Btrlklmrlv shown than In tho several engagements leading to tno surrender of Santiago, whilo the prompt movements and successive victories won Instant and universal applauso. avoid misunderstanding, tho matter should bo forthwith closed by proposing tho embodiment in a formal protocol of the terms In which the negotiations for peaco wero to be undertaken. The vaguo and explicit suggestions ot tho Spanish note could not be accepted, tho only reply being to present as a virtual ultimatum a draft or protocol embodying the precise terms tenuerod to Spain In our noto of July 39, with added stipulations of detail as to the appointment of commissioners to arrange for tho evacuation of the Spanish Antilles. THE PROTOCOL SIGNED. On August 12 M. Cambon announced his receipt of full powers to sign tho protocol bo submitted. Accordingly, on tho afternoon ot August 12, M. Cambon. as the plenipotentiary of Spain, nnd the secretary of state, as the plenipotentiary of tho United States, Blgned a protocol providing: "Article 1. Spain will relinquish nil claim of sovereignty over and tltlo to Cuba. "Article 2. Spain will cedo to tho United Btates the Island of Porto Itico and other Islands now under Spanish In tho West Indies, nnd nlso nn Island in tho Ladrones, to bo selected by the United States. "Article 3. Tile United States will occupy and hold tho city, bay and harbor of Manila, pending tho conclusion of a treaty of peaco which shall determine the control, disposition and government of the Philippines." COMMISSIONS PROVIDED FOR. The fourth article provided for the appointment of Joint commissions on the part ot the United States and Spain, to meet In Havana and San Juan, respectively, for the purpose of arranging nnd carrying out tho details of the stipulated evacuation of Cuba, Porto Rico and other Spanish possessions In the West Indies. Tho fifth article provided for the appointment of not moro than flvo commissioners on each sldo, to meet at Paris, not later than October 1, and to proceed to tho negotiations and conclusions a treaty of peace, subject to ratification of according to tho respective constitutional forms of tho two countries. The sixth and last artlclo provided that upon the signature of tho protocol, hos. tilltles between the two countries snould bo suspended, and that notice to that effect should be given as soon as possible by ench government to tho commanders of Its military and naval forces. HOSTILITIES SUSPENDED. Immediately upon tho conclusion of th protocol I Issued a proclamation on August 12, suspending hostilities on the part of the United States. The necessary or. ders to that end were at once given by telegraph. Tho blockade of the ports ol Cuba and San Juan de Porto Ilico was In llko manner raised. On August 18, the muster out of 100,000 volunteers, or asnear, that number as was found to be practlca-blewas ordered. VOLUNTEERS MUSTERED OUT. On December 1, 101,1(3 ofllcers and men had been mustered out and discharged from tho services, 9.002 moro will bo mus. tered out by the 10th of tho month. Alsc a corresponding number of generals nnd general staff officers havo been honorably discharged from tho Bervlce. The military commissions to superintend the evacuation of Cuba, Porto Ttlco and the adjacent Islands wero forthwith appointed: For Cuba James F. Wade, William T. Sampson, MaJ.-GeMatthew Butler; for Porto Blco: MaJ.-GeJohn C. Brooke, Wlnneld S. Schley. Brlg.-GeW. Gordon, who soon afterward met the Spanish commissioners at Havana and San Juan respectively. THE WORK OF THE COMMISSIONS. The Porto Rlcan Joint commission speedily accomplished Its task, and by October 13 the ovncuntlon of the Island was completed. The United States flag was raised aver the Island at noon on that day. The administration of Its affairs has been provisionally Intrusted to a military governor until the congress shall otherwise provide. Tho Cuban Joint commission has not yet terminated Its labors. Owing to the difficulties In tho way of removing the largo numbers of Spanish troops still In Cuba, tha ovacuatlon can not bo completed beforo the 1st of January next. THE PEACE COMMISSIONERS. Pursuant to the fifth article of tho protocol, I appointed William R. Day, late secretary of state: Cushman K. Davis, Wm. P. Fryo and George Gray, senators of tho United States, nnd Whltelaw Held, to bo tho peace commissioners on tho part of the United States. Proceeding In due season to Paris, they there met, on the y 1st of October, five commissioners appointed on the part of Spain.

No alternative novo physical exhaustion of cither combatant, and therewithal tho practical ruin of tho Island, lay In sight, but how far distant no one could venture to conjecture. THE DESTRUCTION OP THE MAINB. ifG&X thlB Juncture on tho 15th of Fobru-YSlust, occurred the destruction of the battleship Maine while rightfully lying In the harbor of Havana on a mission ot International courtesy nnd good will a catastrophe, tho suspicious nature and stirred tho nation's heart horror bf which Is u striking evldenco of profoundly. It the polio nnd sturdy good sense distinguishing our national character that thlL shocking blow, falling upon a genorous pcoplo, already dcoply touched by preceding events In Cuba, did not movo them for an Instant, desperate resolve a to condino longer the existence ot tion of dangor nnd disorder at our doors by whomthat mado possible such a deed ever wrought. Yet tho Instinct of Justice prevailed, and the nation anxiously awaited tho result of tho searching Investigation nt once set on foot. Tho finding of tho naval board of inquiry established exthat the origin of tho explosion wasonly ternal, by u submarine mine, and posltlvo testimony halted through lack ot to fix tli a responsibility of Its authorship. TUB COMING OP THE CIHSIS. All these, things carried conviction to tho most thoughtful, oven beforo tho finding of tho naval court, that a crisis In our relations with Spain and toward Cuba was nt hand. So strong was this bollot oxecutlvo sugthat It needed but n brief to recelvo Imgestion to tho congress mediate answer to tho duty of making sufficient provision for tho posslblo and perhaps speedy probable emergency of war, and tho remarkable, almost unique spectacle was presented of a unanimous voto ot both houses, on the ninth of March, appropriating fifty millions of dollars "for tho national dotense, and for each and every purpose connected thorp-witto ho expended at tho dlecrotou of the president. THE PROVISION CAME NONE TOO SOON. That this act of provision came nono too soon was disclosed when tho application of tho fund was undertaken. Our torts were prnctlcnlly undofendod. Our navy needed large provision for increased ammunition and supplios, and oven numbers, to copo with any sudden attack by tho navy of Spain, which comprised modorn Vesrob ot tho hlghost type of continental perfection. Our army also required enlargement of men and munitions, Tho details of tho hurried preparation for the dreud contingency Is told In tho reports of tho secretaries of war nnd of tho navy, unci need not be repented hero. It la sufficient to ay that tho outbreak of tho war, when It aid come, found our nation not unprepared to meet tho conflict.

In responding to that representation, also shared tho Iiopo that the envoys had expressed, that peace might be preserved In a manner to terminate the chronic condition of disturbance In Cuba so Injurious nnd menacing to our Interns ests and tranquillity, as well hushocking to our sentiments of manity; and, whilo appreciating the humanitarian and disinterested character of the communication they had mado on behalf ot the powers. I stated the confidence of thla government, for Us uo mat equal appreciation woum en- for Its earnest and unselfish dJaVors to fulfill a duty of liumnnlty by ending a situation, tho Indefinite prolongation ot what had becomo Insufferable. ANIMATED IJY IIOIMJ OP PEACEFUL fc SOUUTldN. Btlll anlmnted by tho hopo of a peaceful solution, and obeying the dictates otduty, no effort was relaxed to bring about a speedy ending of tho Cuban struggle. Negotiations, to this object continued actively with tho government of Spain, looking to the Immodlnte conclusion of a six months' armistice In Cuba with a view to effect the recognition of her people's right to Independence, llesldes this, tho Instant revocation of tho order of reconcentratlou was usked, su that the sufferers, returning to their homes, nnd aided by united American and Bpanlsh effort, might bo put In n. wuy to support themselves, and by orderly resumption of destroyed productive enertho gies of the Island, contribute to the restoration of Its tranquillity and well being Negotiations continueu tor wirao mui tlmo nt Madrid, resulting In offers by tho Spanish government which could not but bo regarded as Inadequate. SPAIN'S PROPOSITION. It was proposed to confldo the restoration of pencu to an Insular government, yet to be convened under tho autonomous decrees of November, 1897, but without Impairment In any wlce of tho constitutional powers of the Madrid government, which, to that end, would grant an arby the mistice. If solicited general-in-chi- Insurgents, for might such time ns tho seu fit to fix. How nnd with what scopo powers tho Insular parof discretionary liament was expected to set about the preparation of ienco did not appear. If It was to be by negotiation with the Insurgents, tho Issue see med to rest on one sldo with a body chosen by it faction of the electors In tho districts under Spanish control, and on tho other with, tho Insurgent population holding tho Interior country unrepresented In tho parliament, and defiant at the suggestion of suing for pence. THE QUESTION REMITTED TO CONGRESS Orlved and dlsuppalntcd at this barren outcome of my sincere endeavors to reach a practicable solution, I felt It my duty to remit the whole question to congress. In tho message ot April II, 1S3S. 1 announced that, with this lust ovorturo In tho direction ot Immediate poaco In nnd Its disappointing reception by Cuba Spain, tho effort of the executive wns brought to un end. I again renewed the alternative course of action which I had prepared, concluding that tho only one consonant with the International policy historand compatible with our firm-se- t ical traditions was Intervention as a neutral to stop the war and check tho hopeless sacrltlco of life, oven though that report Involved "hostile constraint upon both tho parties to the contest. a well us to enforce a truce as to guldo tho eventful settlement." FOR OUR COURSE. JUSTIFICATION The grounds Justifying that step were In tho interests of humanity, the duty to n protect tho llfo and property of every In Cubn; the right to check Injury to our commerce und the people through tho devastation of tho Island, and, most Im portant. the need ot removing at once and forever tho constant mennco and tho burden entailed upon our government by tho uncertainties nud perils tho situation caused by tho Interminable disturbance In Cuba. "Tho long trial has proved that tho object for which Spain has wngod tho war can not be attained. The lira of Insurrection may llama or may smoulder with varying seasons, but It has not been, and It Is plain that It can not be, extinguished by present methods. Tho only liopo of relict and repose from u condition which can no longer be endured Is tho enforced pacification ot Cuba. In tho name of humanity. In tho name of civilization. In behalf of cndar.gerod American Intorcsts which gtva us lio right and the duty to speak, actual war In Cubn must stop," THE PRESIDENT'S REQUEST TO CONGRESS. In view of all this, congress was asked to urgo and empower tho president to final take measures to secure a full andSpain termination of hostilities between nnd tho people of Cubn, nnd to secure In tho Island the establishment ot a stablo government, capablo of maintaining obliIts International gations. Insuring peace and tranquillity, nnd tho security of Its citizens ns woll ns our own, and for tho accomplishment of those ends to use the military and naval forces of tho United States ns might be necessary, with added authority to continue generous relief to the starving people of Cuba. THE RESPONSE OP CONGRESS. The response of tho congress, after nine d.ivs of earnest deliberation. during which tho almost unanimous sentiment of your body wan dovoloped on every point, savo as to the expediency of coupling tho proposed nctlon with n formal recognition and of the republic of Cuba ns the truoproplawful government of thirl Island a osition which failed of adoption tha con gress, nflur a conference, on mo win or In tho senate, April, by a volo ot K to und 311 to 0 In tho house ot representatives, passed tho memorable Joint resolution declaring: "Klrst- - That tho people of tho Island of Cuba are, and of right ought to bo, free and Independent.

"Fourth That tho United States horo-b- y disclaims nuy disposition or Intention to exercise sovereignty, Jurisdiction or control over said Island, except for tho and faclllcatlon thereof, that Isassorts Its accomplished, when to leave the government and control ot tho Island to Its people," This resolution wns approved by tho executive on tho next day, April 9. OUR RESOLVE COMMUNICATED TO SPAIN. A copy was at onco communicated to tho Spanish minister nt this capital, who forthwith announced that his continuance In Wnshlngton had thereby become Impossible, ho asked for his passports, which wero given him. Ho- - thereupon withdrew from Washington, loavtng the protection of Spanish Interests In tho united States to the French ambassador n minister. and tho SImultaneouily with Un communication to tho Spanish minister, den. Woodford, tho American minister at Madrid, was telegraphed confirmation of tho text of and directed the joint resolution, government to Spain of It to tho with tho formal demand that It at onco relinquish Its authority and government In tho Island of Cuba and withdraw Its forces therefrom, coupling this domand with announcements of tho lntontlons of this government ns to tne future of tho Island, In conformity with tho fourth clause of tho resolution, nnd giving Spain until noon of April 23 to reply. THE ACTION OP SPAIN. Tho demand, nlthough, as abovo shown, officially mado known to the Spanish envoy hero, was not dollvered nt Mndrld, After tho Instruction reached Gen. Woodford, on tho morning of April 21, but beforo he could present It, the Spanish minister of stato notified him that upon tho president's approval of tho Joint resolution, the Madrid government, regarding the act as "equivalent to an evident declaration of war," had orderod Un minister to withdraw, thereby In Washington breaking off diplomatic relations between the two countries ana ceasing all oillclal communication between tholr respective representatives Gen Woodford thereupon demanded his passports and quitted Madrid tho samo day. THE DECLARATION OP WAR. Spain, having thus denied tho demand ot tho United States, and initiated that completo form of rupture of relations which attends n stnte ot wnrf tho executive powers authorized by tho resolution were nt once authorized by me to mcot the itnlarged contingency of actual war between Spain and the united States. On April 22 I proclaimed a blockade ot tno northern roust of Cuba, including ports on said coast between Cardenas and liahla X well-nigh clt-ueAustro-Hungarlato and the port of Clenfuegos, on tho south coast of Cuba; und on the 23d I called for volunteers to oxecuto tno purpose of the resolution. Hy my message of tho 25th tho congress was Informed ot tho situation, nnd 1 recommended formal declaration of the exlsteuco ot u state of war between tho United States nnd Spain, The congress accordingly voted, on tho same day, tho act approved April 23, 1&33, declaring tho oxfstenco of such war from and Including tho Zlst day of April, nnd the provision of the resolution of April 29, directing tho president to use nil tho armed forces of the nation to carry tho act Into effect. Duo notification of tho cxlstenco of war as aforesaid was given, April 23. by telegraph to all tho governments with which tho United States maintain relations In ordor that their neutrality might be assured during tho wnr. Tho various governments responded with proclamations of njutrallty, each after Its own methods. It is not among tno least gratifying incidents of tnestruggle that Iho obligations ot neutrally were impartially discharged by all, often under delicate nnd difficult circumstances. T PROCLAMATION GOVERNING AT SEA. In further fulfillment of International duty I Issued, April 26, a proclamation announcing tho treatment proposed to be accorded In vessels and their cargoes as to blockade, contraband, tho exerclso of tho right ot subjects and the Immunity of neutral tings and neutral goods under enemy's flag. A similar proclamation Was mado by tho Spanish government. In the conduct of hostilities tho rules ot the declaration of Paris, Including abstention from resort of privateering, havo accordingly been observed by both belligerents, ulthough neither was a party to that decCON-Dl'C- I laration. THE rLTJNGE INTO A FOREIGN WAR. Our country thus, after an Interval ot half a century of peace, with all nations, found Itself engaged In deadly conflict with a foreign enemy. .Eyery nerve was strnlncd to meet tho emergency. The response to the Initial call for 125,000 volunteers wns Instant and complete, as was also tho result of tho second call of May 23, for 70,000 additional volunteers. Tho ranks of tho regular army were Increased to the limits provided by tho act of April 2d. Tho enlisted forco of the navy, on tho 15th of August, when It reached Its maximum, numbered 21.123 men and appren- tices. One hundred und throo vessels were added to the navy by purchase, one was presented one to tho government, leased, nnd tho four vessels of tho International Navigation Co.. the St. Paul, St. Iritis, New York and Paris, were chnrteied, In addition to theso the revenue cutters and Ughthouso tenders wero turned oer to the navy department, and became temporarily a part of tho auxiliary navy. THE FIGHTING FORCE OP THE NAVY. Tho maximum effective fighting force of tho navy during the war, sepurated Into classes, was as follows: Four battleships of the tlrst class; 1 battleship of tho second class: 2 armored cruisers; 6 coast defense monitors; 1 armored ram; 12 protected cruisers; 3 unprotected cruisers; IS gunboats; J dynamite cruiser; 11 torpedo boatB; 11 old csscls of tho old navy Including monitors. Auxiliary navy: Four auxiliary cruisers, 2S converted ynchtH; 21 converted tugs; 13 converted colliers; 15 revenue cut4 lighthouse ters, tenders and 19 miscellaneous vessels. ALARM ON THE ATLANTIC COAST. Much alarm wns felt along' our entire Atlantic seaboard lest some attack might b made by the enemy. Every precaution was taken to prevent posslblo Injury to our great cities lying along tho coast. garrisons TcmiHjrnry wero provided, drawn from tho volunteer force. About 12,009 troops were thus employed. The coast signal service wns established for observing tho nppronch of an enemy'B ship to tho const of tho United States, and which the lighthouse service enabled the navy department to havo all portions of the Atlantic coast, from Malno to Texas, under observation. THU AUXILIARY NAVY. The auxiliary navy wns created under tho authority of congress and was and manned by the naval militia of tho several states. This organization patrolled the coast and performed tho duty of a second arm of defense. Under tho direction or tho chief of engineers, submarine mines wero placed at tho most exposed points. Defaro the outbreak of the war permanent mining connnd cablo galleries had been structed at all Important harbors. Most ot tho torpedo material wns not to bo found In tho markot, and had to bo specially manufactured. Under data of April 10 dlsttlct ofllcers wero directed to tako all preliminary measures, short of thf actual attaching of the loaded mines to the cables, and on April 22 telegraphic orders were Istuod to place tho loaded mines In post. Ion. SUHMAUINE MINE DEFENSE. The nggreguto number of mines placed was 1 r35 at tho principal harbors from Maine, to California. Preparations wero nlso m. do for the planting ot mines at certain other harbors, but owing to the early destruction of tho Spanish licet, theso mines wero not placed. Tho signal corps was promptly organized, and performed service of tho most dlfllcult and Important character. Its operations during tho war covered tho electrical connection of nil coast fortifications, the establishment of telonhono nnd tclesrnnhla fa cilities for tho camps at Manila, Santiago and In Porto Rico, Thero wero constructed 300 miles of the lino at ten great camps, thus facilitating military movemontsfrom those points In a manner herotoforo unknown In military administration. Field telegraph lines wero established and maintained under the enemy's lire at Manila, Kong cablo and later tho Manila-Hon- g wns opened. CABLE COMMUNICATIONS IN CUBA AND PORTO RICO. In Porto Ulco cable communications woro opened over n discontinued route and on lund tho headquarters of the commanding olllcer was kept Jn telegraphic and n telephonic communication with tho commanders on four different lined of operation. There was placedinCubanwatersacom plotcly outtlttcd cable ship with war cables and cablo gear, sultablo both for the destruction of communications belonging to the enemy and tho establishment of our own. Two ocean cables weredostroyed under tho enemy'B batteries at Santingo, Tho dny previous to tho landing of Gen. Shatters corpj nt Calmnnera, within 20 miles ot the landing place, cable communications wero established and a cablo station opened, giving direct communication with the government at Washington. This service was Invaluable to tno oxecutlvo In directing tho operations of tha army and navy. With a total forco of over 1,30) tho loss wns by disease In camp and field, ofllcers and men Included, only olll-cer- ed case-mates dlvi-slo- 11 THE NATIONAL DEFENSE FUND. u Tho national defense under tho fund, wns expended In large part by tho army and navy, and tho objects for widen It was used are fully shown In the reports of tho several secretaries, it was a most timely appropriation, enabling the government to strengthen Us defense nnd mako preparations greatly needed In case of war. This fund being Inadequato to the requirements of equipment and for tho conduct of tho war, tho patriotism of tho congress provided tho means In tho wur revenue act of June 13, by authorizing a threo per cent popular loan not to exceed J 100.000,000 and by levying additional imposts and taxes. Of tno authorized lonn, 3100,000.000 woro offered nnd promptly taken, the subscriptions so far excocdlng tho call as to cover It many times over, while, preference being given to tho smaller bids, no slnglo allotment exceeded J5.000 This was a most encouraging and significant result, showing tho vast resources of the nation and the determination of tho people to uphold their country's honor. SALIENT FEATURES OP THE WAR. It Is not within the provlnco of this message to narrate tho history of tho extraordinary war that followed tho Spanish declaration of April 21, but a brief ap- ot Its more salient features Is the war firoprlato. Tho llrst encounter of 27, when date took placo April ot the blockading squadron a detachment made a reconnalssanco In forco at shelled the harbor torts and demolished several new works In courso of 150,000,-OOal Ma-tanz- vo. construction, DEWEY'S VICTORY AT MANILA BAY. The noxt engagement was destined to mark a memorable oooch In maratlmo warfare. Tho Pacific fleet, under Commodore George Dewey, had lain for some weeks at Hong Kong. Upon the colonial proclamation of neutrality being Issued, and tho customary 21 hours' notice being given, It repaired to Mirs bay, near Hong Kong, whenco It proceeded to tho Phlllp-pln- o islands, under telegraphic orders to captura or destroy tho formidable Spanish fleet then assembled at Manila. At daybreak on tho first of May, tho American force entered Manila bay, and after To those who gained this complete triumph which established the ascendency of the United States upon land as the fight off Santiago had fixed our supremacy on the seas, the earnest and lasting gratitude ot the nation Is unsparingly due. Nor should wo alone remember tho gallantry of the living, tho dead claim our ccais, and our losses by battto and must cloud any exultation at the result, and teach us to weigh tne awful cost of war, however rightful tho causo or signal tho victory.

Not a llfo was lost on our ships, the wounding only numbering sovon, while not a vessel was materially Injured. For this gallant achievement tho congress, upon my recommendation, fitly bestowed upon tho actors preferment and substantial reward. A PRESTIGE OP INVINCIBILITY. The effect of this remarkable victory upon the spirit of our people and upon tho fortunes of tho war was instant. A prestige of Invincibility thereby attached to our arms, which continued throughout tho struggle. Reinforcements were hurried to Manila under tho command of MaJ.-GeMerrltt, and firmly established within sight of the capital, which lay helpless before our guns. On the 7th day ot May tho government was advised officially ot tho victory at Manila, and at onco Inquired of the commander of our fleot what troops would be required. Tho Information was received on the 15th day of May. and tho first army expedition sailed May 5, and arrived at Manila June 30. Other expeditions soon followed, the total forco consisting of Ml officers nnd n. Gratitude due the victors. change of messages overconncctingcables may bo regulated on a fair basis of uniformity.

I do not discuss at this timo tho government or the tuturo of tho now possessions which will come to us as the result of tho war with Spain. Such a discussion will bo appropriate after the treaty ot peace shall bo ratified. In tho meantime, and until tho congress has legislated otherwise. It will be my duty to continue the military governments which have existed since our occupation and government, assuring the people security hi llfo and property, and encouragement under a Just and beneficent rule. THE FUTURE OP CUBA. As soon as wo are In possession of Cuba, and hnvo pacified tho Island, It will bo necessary to give aid nnd direction to Us peoplo to form a government for themselves. This should bo undertaken at the earliest moment, consistent with safety and assured success. It Is Important that our relations with these people shall be of the most friendly character, and our commercial relations close and reciprocal It should be our duty to assist In every proper way to build up the waste places of tho Island, encourage tho Industry of tho people, and assist them to form a government which shall bo freo and Independent, thus realizing tho best aspirations of the Cuban people. Spanish rulo must bo replaced by a Just, benevolent and humane government, crented by tho people of Cuba, capablo ot performing all International obligations, and which shall encourage thrift, Industry and prosperity, and promote peaco and good will among all of tho Inhabitants, whatever may havo been their relations In tho past. Neither revengo nor passion should havo a place In tho new government. Until there Is completo tranquillity In the Island, and a stable government Inaugurated, military occupation will bo continued. With tho exception of the rupture with Spain, tho Intercourse of tho United States with tho great family of nations has been mnrked with cordiality, nnd tho closo ot the eventful year finds most of tho Issues that necessarily nrlso In the complex relations of sovereign states or presenting no serious obstacles to a Just and honorable solution byamlca-bl- e agreemnt. ARGENTINA AND CHILI. A long unsettled dlsputo as to the extended boundary between tho Argentine Republic and Chill, stretching along tho Andean crests from tho southern border of tho Atacama desert to Magellan straits, nearly a third of tho length of the South American continent, assumed an acuta stago In the early part ot the year and afforded this government occasion to express tho hope that the resort to arbitration, already contemplated by existing conventions between tho pnrtlcs, might prevail, dcsplto tho grave difficulties arising In Its application. I am hap-E- y to say that arrangements to this end been perfected, the questions of fact upon which tho respective commissioners wero unable to ngrco being In courso of reference to her Britannic majesty for tho determination. A residual difference touching tho northern boundary lino ncross the Atacama desert, for which existing treaties provided no adequate adjustment, bids fair to ba settled In llko manner by Joint commission, upon which tho United States minister at Buenos Ayres had been Invited to servo as umpire In tho last resort. A COMPLICATED MATTER. I have found occasion to approach the Argentine government with a view to removing differences ot rate charges Imposed upon tho cables of an American corporation In tho transmission between Buenos Ayres nnd the cities of Urguay and Brazil of through messages passing Alfrom and to the United States. though the matter Is complicated by exclusive concessions by Uruguay and Brazil to foreign companies, there ts strong hope that a good understanding will ba reached, and that the Important chnnncls of commercial communication between tho United States and tho Atlantic cities of South America may bo freed from an almost prohibitory discrimination. AN INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT In this relation, I may bo permitted to express my sense of tho fitness of nn International agreement whereby the Inter hopo-lessne- ss The sympathy of the Amorlcan peoplo has Justly been offered to tho ruler and by reason tho people of Austria-Hungar- y of tho affliction that has lately befallen him In the assassination ot the empress-quee- n of that historic realm. On tho 10th of September, 1237, a conflict took placo at Latimer, I'a., between n body ot striking miners and the sheriff of Luzerno county and his deputies. In which 22 miners wero killed and 41 wounded, ot which ten of the killed and 12 of the wounded wero Austrian and Hungarian subjects. This deplornblo event naturally aroused tho solicitude ot the n government, which, on the assumption that the killing and wounding involved the unjustifiable mis-us- o of authority, claimed reparation for tho BufTercrs. Apart from the searching Investigation, nnd tho peremptory action of tho authorities of Pennsylvania, the fcdoral executive took appropriate steps to learn tho merits of the case, in order to bo In a position to meet the urgent complaint of a friendly power. The sheriff and hU deputies, having been Indicted for murder, were tried and acquitted after protracted proceedings and tho hearing of Hundreds of witnesses, on the ground that the killing was In the lino ot their official duty to uphold law and preserve public order In tno stab?. A representative ot tho department of Justice attended tho trials and reported Its course fully. With all the facts In Us possession this government expects to reach a harmonious understanding on the subject notwithwith that of Austria-Hungarstanding the renewed claim of the latter after learning tho result of the trial for Indemnity for Its injured subjects. THE BRUSSELS EXPOSITION. Despite th6 brief tlmo allotted tor preparation, t.o exhibits ot this country at tho universal exposition at Brussels, In 1!97, enjoyed tho singular distinction of a larger proportion of awards, having regard to the number and classes of articles entered, than those of other countries. The worth of such a result In making known our national capacity to supply tho wolrd's markets Is obvious. Exhibitions ot this International character are becoming more frequent as the exchanges of commercial countries grow more Intimate and varied. Hardly a year passes that this government Is not Invited to national participation nt some Important foreign center, but often on too short notice to permit of recourse to congress for the power and means to do so. My predecessors havo suggested the advisability of providing, by a general enactment and a standing appropriation, for accepting such invitations and for representation of this country by a commission. This plan has my cordial approval. BELGIAN RESTRICTION ON AMERICAN CATTLE. I trust tho Belgian restriction on the Importations of cattlo from tho United States, originally adopted as a sanitary precaution, will at an early date bo satisfied us to their present and future ot hnrdshlp and discrimination so as to admit live cattle under due regulation ot their slaughter after landing. I am hopo-fu- l, too, of a favorablo change In the Belgian treatment of our preserved and salted meats. The growth of direct trado between tho two countries, not alono for Belgian consumption and Belgian products, but by way of transit frojn and to other continental states, has been both encouraging and beneficial. No effort will be spared to onlargo Its advantages by seeking the removal ot neodless Impediments, and by arrangements for Increased commercial exchanges. EVENTS IN CENTRAL AMERICA. Tho year's events In Central America deserve moro than passing mention. A menacing rupturo uetween Costn Rica and Nicaragua was happily com- the slgnnturo of a convention Cosed by the partlei, with the concurrence of the Guatomalean representative mediator, the net being negotiated ni a signed nn board tho United States and steamship Alert, then lying In Central American waters. It Is believed that the good offices of our envoy and commander of thut vessel contributed towards this grntl'ylng outcome. In my last annual message tho situation was presented with respect to tho diplomatic repicsentatlon of tills government In Central America, created by tho association of Nicaragua, Honduras and Salvudor, under tho tltlo of the Greater Republic ot Central America, and the delegation ot their International functions to the diet thereof. Whilo tho representative character of the diet wns recognized by my predecessor, and has been confirmed during my administration by receiving Its accredited envoy and granting exequaturs to consuls commissioned under Its authority, that recognlzatton was qualified by the distinct understanding that tho responsibility of each of the component Boverclgn republics toward the United States remained wholly unaffected. A NEEDFUL PROVISO. This proviso was needful, Inasmuch as tho compact of tho three republics was, at the outset, an association whereby certain representative functions were delegated to a trlpartlto commission rather than a federation possessing centralized powers of government and administration. In this vlow of their relation and tho relation of tho United States to tho several republics, a change In tho representation of this country in Central America was neither recommended by tho exccutlvo nor Initiated by congress, thus leaving ono of our envoys accredited as heretofore separately to two states of tho areater Republic, Nicaragua and Salvador, and to a third state, Costa Rica, which was not a party to the compact, while our other envoy was similarly accredited to tho union n stato 'of Honduras and tho state of Guatemala. The result has been that one hns presented credentials only to tho president of Costa Rica, tho other having been received only by the government ot Guatemala. UNITED STATES OP CENTRAL AMERICA. Subsequently tho three associated republics entered Into negotiations for making tho steps forecast In tho original compact. A convention of their delegates framed for them a federal constitution undor the name ot the United States ot Central America, and provided for a central federal government and legislature. Upon ratification by tho constituent Btates, the 1st of November last was fixed for the new system to go Into operation. Within a few weeks afterwards tho plan was severely tested by revolutionary movements arising, with a consequent demand for unity ot notion on the part of tho military power of the federal states to suppress them. Under this strain the now union seems to havo been weakened through tho withdrawal of Its moro Important members. This government was not officially advised ot the Installation of the fedaratlon, and has maintained an attitude of friendly expectancy, while In no wise relinquishing the position held from the outset that tho responsibilities of tho several states toward us remained unaltered by their tentative relations among themselves. THE NICARAGUA CANAL. Tho Nicaragua canal commission, under tho chairmanship ot John G. Walker, appointed July 21, 1897, under the authority ot a provision In the sundry civil act ot Juno 4 ot that year, has nearly completed Us labors, and tho results of Its exhaustive Inquiry Into tho proper route, the feasibility and the cost ot construction of an canal by a Nlcaraguan route will be laid before you. I tho performance ot Its task the coramis n received all possible courtesy and assistance from tho governments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica, which thus testified their appreciation ot the Importance ot giving a speedy and practical Austro-Hungarlanon-unioRear-Admir- al Inter-ocean- ic outcome to tho great project that has for so many years engrossed tho attention of tho rcspectlvo countries. AS THE MATTER STANDS. As tho scopo of recent Inquiry embraced tho whole subject, with tho view ot making plans and surveys for a canal by tho most convenient route, It necessarily Included a review of the results of previous surveys and plans, and In particular those adopted by tho Maritime Canal Co., under Its existing concessions from Nicaragua and Costa Rica, so that to this extent these grants necessarily held an essential part In the deliberations and conclusions of the canal commission, as they havo held, and must need hold. In tho discussion of tho matter by the congress. Under theso circumstances, and In view of the overtures made to tho overments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica y other parties for a new can! concession predicated on the assumed approaching lapse of the contracts of the Mafltlmo Canal Co. with those states, I have not hesitated to express my conviction that considerations of expediency and International policy as between tho several governments Interested In the construction and control of an canal by this routo requlro tho maintenance of tho status quo until tho canal commission shall have reported, and tho United States congress shall have had the opportunity to pass finally upon the wholo matter during the present session, without prejudice by reason ot any charge In the existing conditions. NICARAGUA'S SECOND GRANT. Nevertheless it appears that tho government of Nlcarauga, as one ot Its last sovereign acts before merging Its powera Into those of tho d United States ot Central America, has granted an optional concession to another association, to becomo effective on the expiration ot tho present grant. It docs uppear what surveys have been made or what routo Is proposed under this contingent grant, so that an examination of the feasibility of Us plans Is necessarily not embraced In tho report of tho canal commission. All theso circumstances suggest tho urgency of some deflnlto action by the congress at this session It the labors of the past are to bo utilized, and the Unking of tho Atlantic and Paclfla oceans by a prfactlcal waterway Is to bo realized. That tho construction of such s, marltlmo highway Is now more than ever Indispensable to moro lntlmato and ready Intercommunication between our eastern and western seaboards, demanded by the annexation of tho Hawaiian Islands, and tho prospective expansion of our lnfluenco and commcrco In the Pacific, and that our national policy, now moro Imperatively than ever, calls for Us control by this which government, aro propositions duly appre- I congress will ciate and wisely act upon. UNITED STATES AND CHILIAN CLAIMS. A convention providing for tho rovlval of tho lato United States and Chilian claims commission, but not considered of the expiration ot tho time limited for tho duration of the commission, was signed May 24, 1837, and has remained unacted upon by the senate. Tho term therein fixed for effecting tho exchange of ratifications having elapsed, the convention falls unless tho time bo extended by nmendment, which I am endeavoring to bring about, with tho friendly concurrence ot the Chilian government. EVENTS IN THE CHINESE EMPIRE. The United States hns not been an Indifferent spectator of tho extraordinary events transpiring in the Chinese empire, whereby portions of Us maritime provinces, are passing under tho control of various European powers; but tho prospetc that tho vast commerce which the energy of our citizens and tho necessity ot our stnplo productions for Chinese uses has built up In those regions may not be prejudiced through and exccutlvetreatmentbv the new occupants, has obviated tho need of our country becoming an actor in tho sceno. Our position among nations having a largo Pacific coast and a constantly expanding direct trade with tho farther orient, gives us the equitable claim to consideration and friendly treatment In this regard, and It will bo my aim to subserve our largo interests in that quarter by all means upproprlato to tho constant policy ot our government. Tho territories of Klao Chau, of and of Port Arthur nnd Tallen Wan, leased to Germany, Great Britain and Russia respectively for terms of years, will, It Is announced, bo open to International during such alien occupation; and If no discriminating treatment of American citizens and their trade be found to exist, or be hereafter developed, tho of this government would appear to be realized. ACTION RECOMMENDED. In this relation, as showing tho volume and vnluo of our exchanges with China, and the peculiarly invorable conditions which exist for their expansion In. tho normal courso ot trade, I refer to tho communication addressed to the - speaker of tho house ot representatives- by tho secretary of the treasury, on the 14th of last June, with Its nccompau, ig lettor of tho secretary of state, recommending an nppropriatlon for a commission to study the commercial and Industrial conditions In the Chlneso empire and report as to tho opportunities for, and obstacles to, the enlargement of markets In China for tho raw products and manufactures of the United States. Action was not taken thereon during the lato sgsslon. I cordially urge that the recommendation recelvo at your hands the consideration which Us Importance and timeliness merit. JUST GROUND TOR DISQUIETUDE. Meanwhile there may bo Just ground for disquietude of the unrest, nnd rovlval of the old sentiment of opposition and prejudice to alien people which pervades certain of tho Chlneso provinces. As In tho caso nt tho attacks upon our citizens In Szcchuan and at Kutlen, In 1833, tho United States mlnUter has been Instructed to sccuro tho fullest measure of protection, both local nnd Imperial, for ly menaced American Interests, und to demand.

THE CERRUTI CLAIM. ARBITRATION. Following closo upon tho rendition of the award of my prodecessor as arbitrator ot the claim ot tho Italian subject Cerrutl, against tho Republic of Colombia, differences aroso between tho parties to the arbitration In regard to the scopo and of tho award, ot which certain articles wero contested by Columbia, while Italy claimed their literal fulfillment. The award having been made by the president ot the United States as an act off friendly consideration, and with tho solo view to an Impartial composition of the matter in dispute, I could, not but teal concern at such a mlscarrlago and, whilo unable to accept tho Colombian theory that I, In my official capacity, possessed continuing function as arbitrator, with power to Interpret or revise tho terms of the award, my best efforts were lent to bringing tho parties til- -j harmonious agreement as to the exclK'on of Its provisions. ITALY'S NAVAlFlEIMONSTRATION. A naval demonstration by Italy resulted In an engagement to pay the liabilities claimed upon their ascertainment, but this apparent disposition ot tho controversy was followed toy a rupture of diplomatic Intercourse between Colombia and Italy, which still continues, although, fortunately, without acute symptoms having supervened. Notwithstanding this, efforts are reported to be continuing tor tho ascertainment ot Colombia's contingent liability on acount of tne Cerruttl debts, under the fifth article ot the award. 'AN AMERICAN OUAI'M UNPAID. A claim ot on American citizen against the Dominican RepubKo tor a publK bridge orer the Ozama river, which has been In diplomatic controversyfor several years, has been settled by expert arbitration, And an award In ifavor of the claimant amounting to about 130,000.

THE HAWAIIAN COMMISSION. Following he further provision of thi Joint resolution I appointed Hon. Sholby M. Cullom. of Illinois; Hon, John T. Morgan, of Alabama; Hon, Robert R, Hltt, ot Illinois; Hon.

The commissioners navlng fulfilled tho mission conHded to them their report will ba laid before you at an early day.

A RECOMMENDATION RENEWED. The recommendation made In my special message of April 27 last Is renewed that appropriation be made to reimburse ths masters and owners of the Russian bark Hans for wrongful arrest of the master and detention of the vessel in February, 1S91, by omcers of the United States district court for the southern district of Mississippi.

The efforts of this government nlll. as heretofore, be addressed towards a harcnonlous and exact fulfillment of tho terms ot the international engagement to which the United States becamo a party in 1S39. CLAIM AGAINST SIAM SETTLED. The Chceck claim against Slain, attet some live years of controversy, has been adjusted iby arbitration under an agreement signed July 6, 1S97. an award ot 708.721 tlcals (about 11S7.9S7). with the release of the Cheeck estate from mortgage claims, having been rendered March 21, ISM, in favor of the claimant by the arbitrator, Nicholas John Hanncn, British chief Justice for China and .Japan. An envoy from Slam has been accredited to this government and has presented his ctedentlals. RED CROSS. THE INTERNATIONAL Immediately upon the outbreak of the war with Spain tho Swiss government, fulfilling tho high mission it has deservedly assumed as tho patron of the international Red Cross, proposed to the United States and Spain that they should severally recognize and carry Into exception as a modus vlvendl during tho continuance of hostilities, the additional articles proposed by tho International conference of Geneva, October S. 18SS, extending the effects ot the existing Rsd Cross bqnventlon of 1SS1 to the conduct of naval war.

Carr, a brakeman of Conductor Joe Powers' crew on a through southbound train was shot in the head by a man who was trying The to beat his way through. shooting occurred while the train was pulling the grade into Barns-ley- , only a short distance south of Earlington and a little while later Carr was found lying unconscious on top of a box car with a hole in his head. The shots were fired either from the ground or the bottom of the ladder on the box car and were seen by one of the other brakemen. Carr's body was found on the third car from the engine. The wounded man was brought back to Earlington and surgical attention given him at once but it could be seen that he was beyond help. The bullet had entered his right eyebrow, ranged upward, and was stilt in the brain. It was aprevolver parently from a and had not the force to carry it through the head but had badly lacerated the brain. Carr's home was formerly in Nashville but had been in Howell, Ind., for some months past. He years of age and was twenty-fou- r had been married only about three months. He was six feet tall and large in proportion, a fine specimen of physical manhood, and a good railroad man. The dying man's wife, mother and a niece of the mother arrived from Howell Tuesday morning, coming over on Conductor Joe Burch's train, and went at once to sec him as he lay in the last struggle in the doctor's office. Friends stood about and gave every atten tion and every effort was put forth to no avail and Mr. Carr died at 10:10 o'clock Tuesday morning. When the message was received here from Nortonville announcing the tragedy watchman Cal Morgan was at the telegraph office. He ran to Marshal John T. Barnett's house and reported. While the latter was dressing Morgan watched the railroad to intercept the man if he should come. Then the Marshal went on a special engine to Nortonville and kept sharp lookout all the way but did not see Special Agent anyone at all. Harlan, of the L. &.

Tuesday The confession was afternoon. made on a lreight train enroute and, because of the weight of the crime and the lack of jail facilities at Madisonvillc now while the new jail is being constructed, Mr. Harlan took the prisoner on through to Henderson for safe keeping. There were some wild rumors abroad that he might be lynched and the prisoner was afraid it might come to that, but the truth is that there was no such movement on foot, and there was very little of any such feeling in Earlington. Public opinion generally held that the case was strong against Quarterman and that it was in the hands of those who would take care that everything possible would be done to bring about legal punishment. It was mention of the suffering and grief of the dead man's mother that led up to the confession. Quarterman said "Yes, that's what I hate most about it." And when Mr. Barnett remarked that he would like to have his honest statement of the matter the prisoner pulled himself together and said "well I'll tell you." And then he told the whole story. He said he was in Evansville the day belore and spent some time in a barber shop drinking with some other barbers who were "rushing the growler," that he got pretty full, that he boarded the freight train on which he afterward shot Carr. He was put off at Henderson but got aboard again and came here and then tried to continue his journey on the same train. He was still in liquor. He said Carr came to put him off and he was afraid if he was kicked off or if he jumped off he would be killed, not knowing the ground nor the speed of the train. He was on the side ladder of a box car and Carr was on top. He had fired the first sliot as a bluff without aiming at Carr. Carr was coming on him again and threatened to kick him off. He then, through fear, fired at Carr to stop him but had not meant to kill. He seemed to fully realize the great mistake he had made and broke down with grief frequently before the story was told. He said if he had not been under the influence of liquor he would have risked a jump in the dark before he would have- shot at Carr. Quarterman said he would have confessed that morning before leaving Earlington but was afraid of the feeling of railroad men against him. When Carr was brought to the doctor's office here, his right hand was in his coat pocket and in it was an open knife still tightly grasped, which showed that he had been anticipating trouble before he was shot. Quarterman had on his person letters addressed to him at 82 Dear born St., Chicago, 111., written by a young lady, and a "traveling book" of the "Journeymen Barber's International Union" issued November 21, 1898, by Union 98 of Elwood, Ind. - If vnu have a weak throat you cannot be too careful.

The people of Dixon, Clay and flourishing towns of this county, have the railroad fever, and have begun an earnest effort toward securing a railroad line to pass through these places. The Illinois Central has given the citizens of that part of the county much encouragement, and, it is believed, will assist in gratifying the wishes of the Webster countians. The meeting held at Dixon last week to discuss the matter was only the beginning of the movement, which will be pushed energetically from this time forward. Another meeting will be held this week, and contributions and subscriptions will be taken, and the project formulated. The proposed line would tap the richest section of the county, and be a great boon to the people who are compelled to haul everything many miles by wagon now.

Topic "Systemntlc and proportionate gtvitiff."-M- aL III, Regarded Highly as a Medicine by the Chinese Big PrJces Paid. t Bulletin Number 78 issued by the Kentucky Agricultural Expert-- , ment Station, Lexington, Ky., on 'Ginseng, its Nature and Culture," is most interestingly Written by Mr. H. Garman, entomologist and botanist. This bulletin could be read with interest by any one unacquainted with this herb and its uses in the countries on (he other side of the fjlobe, as well as by those who know something of the plant and who might get some practical suggestions from the reading. The document may be had for the asking of the above address. Under the heading of "Ginseng as a medicine," Mr. Garman lias this singular story to relate: Ginseng is uied almost exclusively by the Chinese and Japanesr, who consider it a tonic ot marvelous qnaliiy to b employed in cases of debility, much as we use quinine. It is said to be to some extent mixed with quinine by Chines? d actors. While accepting every peuny the Chinese will pay for il, our people are disposed to scoff at ginseng as a medicine, aod look upon its use by tha Chinese as the result o( superstition, aroused by the grotesque resemblance to the human body often assumed by tbe roots. I hive seen it stated that tbe roots most closely resembling the human body in shape are believed by tbe Chinese to have exceptional virtues in banishing weakness and prolonging life. Even people of scientific attainment unhesitatingly pronounce ils healing properties a myth. On Ihe other band, so firmly fixed is ginseng in tbe esteem of tbe Chinese and Japanese that tbey have "saws" based upon it implying tbe most implicit faith in ils healing virtues. Tbe substance ot one of tbem is to effect tbat ginseng cures only lo allow ou to die of starvation. And we can fully appreciate the force of Ihe saying when we read tbestatements of ourEoglish writers as to tbo prices paid for it in China. When of exceptionally good quality tbe prepared ginseng is said to sell for Its weight in gold. It seems there is some evidence even in Chinese literature indicating tbat Ihe curaiivo properties of ginseng are fancied; but tbe same thing could be said of our own medicines. The following story is quoted from a Chinese botanical work by an English writer, and serves to illuslrato an attitude assumed by some Chinese toward sensing: "In the region of Wen Ti, Emperor of the Siu dynasty, a man living at Sbantang used every night to hear a buman voice calling to him from behind bis house, but could never find out who it was.

On my way homo from India last year It was my privilege whllo spending a few days in London to rojolco in eouio blessed fellowship with my dear brother in tho Lord, Rev. John Wilkinson, nutbor of that wonderful book, "Israel My Glory." I found hint ono day greatly rojolclng In Ps. cxix, 80, on which ho expatiated somewhat after this fashion: "Just think of what wo havo hero I What Is settled? Thy word. Whero Is it settled? In heaven. For how long is it settled? Forever. Whoso word Is It? Thine, O Lord I Let tho enemies throw out Jonah nnd his book, and Daniel nnd his book, and whatever they do not liko, they can no more destroy tho word of God than Jcholnkim could destroy tho words of Jeremiah's roll. When wo reach heaven, wo shall find Jonah and Ills book nnd Daniel nnd ids book and nil tho word of God for- over settled there." 29. "Tho king of Babylon shall certainly como and destroy this land nnd shall causo to ccoso from thenco man nnd beast.

In Daniel perhaps mora than in any other book in tho Biblotho iiuportanco of tho wisdom of this world to understand tho things of God is made manifest, and for that reason, among others, tho book of Daniel is disliked. Revelation tells of tho devil's downfall and final doom and there fore ho would llko you not to read that book. 30, 81. "Therefore thusbaltli tho Lord of Jcholaklm, king of Judah." Then follows a statement of what would como upon him personally for this sin, but ho would not hearken, In chapter xxll, 19, it was written that ho should bo buried with tho burial ot an ass. God is not willing that any should perish, hus no pleasure In tho death of tho wicked, but It in splto of all His warnings nnd entreaties tho wicked will persist in his wickedness ho is somo-tlmgiven up so to do (II Pet. ill, 0; Ezck. xxxlli, 11; Dcut xxvlli, 15). 32. "Another roll was given by Jeremiah to Baruch tho scrlbo, and from tho mouth of Jeremiah ho wroto all tho words that wcro in tho former roll, with tho addition of many llko words.

Charles Kingsloy. PAUL M. MOOBE Barbee & Castleman, V Life is a continual receiving and giving. Wo recoivo from God, directly and indirectlr, great blessings aud gifts. We arc expected in return to give, and oven to givo to God. Not tbat God needs our gifts, bnt that we need to mako tbo gift Thero is a feeling in every thoughtful eouI tbat wo must render something unto God for all His benofits. David's exclamation, "What shall I render unto tho Lord for all His gifts to mo?" finds an echo in every heart. Even tho idol woishiping heathen in all ages lias felt tho operation of this sanio inward feel Jng and has responded to it. Freely wo havo received from God, freely wo should give to God. . But how shall wo glvo? What is tho divino law upon this subject? It is systematic aud proportionate giving. This rnothod is Scriptural, practicable, effoctivo and ha9 tho prom-is- o of God's blessing. 1. Systematic nnd proportionnto giving Is Scriptural. In tho Old Testament dispensation a tenth was tbo demand of God. Abraham probably gavo a tonth of his substanco to God. Jacob vowed to do so. aud it may havo been beforo this tbat ho bad failed to do what was required and customnry. In Lor. xxvii, 00, it is directly and plainly assorted that n tenth shall bo given to God. "All thotitho of tho land, whether of tbo seed of tbo land or of tho fruit of tho tree, is tho Lord's. " In tho topical referenco tho prophet Malaohl fearfully arraigns God's peoplo for not having given tho titho and declares tbat in withholding it thoy havo robbed God. Thcro can bo no question about tho law, as regards giving in Old Testament times. In tho Now Testament Paul asks n stated weekly offering for a special purposo, and in another placo declares that as God blessed tbo peoplo thoy wero to givo. 2. Systemotio nnd proportionate giving is just. It is right. It asks of no ono what ho is not ablo to givo. It requires the least of thoso who receive tho least and tho most of thoso who recoivo tho most It sots asido so much as to tho Lord. It makes it His nnd not ours and removes tho temptation to uso it for oursolves. 8. Systomatio and proportionato giving has tho promiso of tho blessing of God. In giving regularly to God aud in proportion ns Ho blosses ns wo aro filling a plain duty that is owed to God. Every dnty brings its blessing. But God has promised n blessing for tbo fulfilling of this duty. "Bring yo all tho tithes into tho storohouso that thcro may bo meat in Mine bouso nud provo Mo now uorowith, saith tho Lord of hosts, if I will not open tho windows of heaven aud pour yon out a blessing, that thcro ahull not bo room onough to recclvo it." If wo fulfill tho conditions of this promiso, wo may nlso havo tbo blessings. ; Biblo Readings.

He dug up tbe root; it penetrated lo a depth of five feet, and resembled tbe body of a man with tbe head and limbs complete; after tbis the nightly voice ceased. To a very limited extent Ibe dried roots are said by druggists in this country, tho demand coming, it is said, from people who have acquired a fondness for chewing Ibem. In Ibe United States Dispensatory (15th edition), by Wood, Remington and Sadder, page 1718, ginseng is seriously discussed, but tbe subject is finally dismissed with tbe statement tbat "Il is little more tban a demulcent." The root (presumably of tbe Chinese species) was long ago examined by British chemists, who reported that it contained little or nothing of medicinal valuo. An American chemist, Mr, S, S, Garrigues, of Philadelphia, some years ago discovered in our plant a peculiar substantia for which the name "panaquilon" was proposed. A recent partial analysis of dried roots is published by Dr. A, A, Peter in tbe annual report of tbis Station for tbe year 1892. We bave too much respect for the intelligence and commercial astuteness of the Cbinese and Japanese, for tbe latter also use the root to some extent, to be willing lo credit all tbe Morics told of their faith in things of no value. Matched with the Caucasian in our schools they have repeat edly shown themselves our equals in ca pacity for any sort of brain work, while in natural art talent tbey are far and away our superiors. Anyway it is just as well to suspend judgment on iho medicinal properties of ginseng until we know more about it, remembering, at tbe same lime, that ibe spectaclo of a whole people, from the Emperor down to the poorest and most ignorant laborer, tenaciously adhering to a delusion for centuries is not without a a parallel In tho history of other races.
