President McKinley Sends His Recommendations to Both Houses of Congress, - Washington. Dec. 5 The Senate and House, a threshold of delibeiatioo, is called to mourn with their country men, the death of Vice-President Ho bert. His great soul rests in eternal peace. His private life was pure and elevating ; his public career was dis tinguished in stainless integrity and exalted motives. The condition of the country is unu sually prosperous. There is good will among the people and relations of friendship with every government of the world. Foreign commerce ha greatly increased in volume and value ; imports and exports have been the largest ever known in a single year. The Secretary of the Treasury esti mates the surplus the present year at forty millions. The conditions and confidence have brought gold into more general use custom receipts are now almost entire ly of gold. The President recommends that ad ditional power be given the Secretary to sell United States bonds and employ other means, if necessary, to maintain the parity of gold and silver ; this authority should include the power to sell long and short, bonds He reviews his former recommendation that a portion of the gold holdings be placed In a trust fund,, with which ereenoaoits win do reoeemea on pre sentation and when redeemed not thereafter to be paid out except for goia. Combinations and trusts are justly pro vole i og public discussion. They snouid claim the early attention o Congress. It is universally conceded that combinations are controlling com modities, thus suppressing competition , whereby prices are enhanced to the general consumer. - These are obnox ious to common law and also to public welfare. There must be a remedy for such evt'a If the present law can be extended to control or oneck all such trusts it should be done without delay The State legislation which Cleveland looked to for the relief of the evils of trusts, failed to accomplish theseob jectsr whioh were due to divergent , views ot tno states. A uniformity legislation of the states is desired. I put down. me President extensively reviewed! been mada ments. The contract by the Maritime Canal Company, of Nicaragua, is de clared forfeited by the Nicaraguan Government on the ground of a non fulfillment of the ten years' term stip ulated in the contract. The company lodged a protest against action and it appears worthy of consideration. Nicaragua offered a fair hearing of the merits in the case. The great impor tance of the Nicaragua canal cannot be oo strongly impressed on Cougress. Reasons for early action are stronger han ever. Our interests' in China have not been neglected. Our trade with China continues to increase. His recommendation for a commission to study the commercial and industrial conditions of the Empire is repeated. Our relations with Germany are cordial. The President's last message referred to the pending negotiations with Great Britain with respect to the Dominion of Canada. By means of an executive agreement a joint High Commission bad been created for the purpose of adjusting the . unsettled questions between the United States and Canada. He renews his recommendation for a cable to Manila. He recommends that in case Congress should not take measures to effect this direct action of the government that the Postmaster General be authorized to invite com petitive bids for the. establishment of the cable. - The evacuation of Porto Rico had already been accomplished and noth ing remained necessary but to continue provisional control until Congress could enact a suitable government. The greatest blessing which can come to Cuba is the restoration of ag ricultural and industrial prosperity. Negotiations are about to be had defin ing the conventional relations of Cuba and Porto Rico. He recommends leg islation to carry out the article of the peace treaty of peace with Spain, by which the' United States assumed the payment of certain claims of indem nity by its citizens against Spain. He recommends that Congress pro vide a special medal for volunteers, regulars, sailors and marines on duty in the Philippines, who voluntarily remain after their terms ot enlistment expired. He recommends that Con gress provide for chaplains for the Philippine!. He recommends the plac ing of a postal service In Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines on a self sustaining basis. He believed that the transfer of soverignty in the Philippines accorded with the wishes of the mass of the Philippines. From the earliest mo ment they were assured that our desire was their welfare. A most unhappy condition of affairs confronted our com missioners on their arrival at Manila. They hoped, with Dewey and Otis, to establish - peace. The course recom mended by the commissioners has rJ been pursued. The rebellion most be A notable beginning has without the consent of the Sultan. The future government in the Philip pines rests with Congress. Grave re sponsibilities have been confronted by the United States. The islands are ours by every title of law and equity and cannot be abandoned. Such would envolve a cruel breach of faith and would place the peaceable majority at the mercy of the armed insurgents, which does not seem desirable. He recommends a memorial bridge from the Potomac to the Arlington es tate on the fourteenth of December, the hundreth anniversary of the death of Washington. ' M He will use the authority vested in him by the Constitution He commends erecting the Hawaiian islands into judicial district ; also that a government be provided for. He recommends a more complete form of territory organization in Alaska, also in Porto Rico. The President was glad to learn from many parts of the country that the people will observe the one hundredth anniversary of the dath of Washington. Never has this nation had more abun dant cause for thankfulness to God for His manifold bleesings for which we make reverent acknowledgement. JOE WHEELER PROBLEM. for the establishment of a government on the Island of Negros, which is deserving of special consider ation. This was the first island to ac cept American sovereignty. The United States flag will be used, and Archipelago piracy will be suppressed. The Sultan of Sula will co-oporate with the United States and will not occupy any island in the Sula group The Thing to do is to Appoint Him a Major General and ; Retire Him. Washington, Deo. 4. Notwithstand ing ! the repeated statements to the effect that Gen. Joe Wheeler is about to return to Washington to resume his seat in Congress, the officials of the War Department assert that ther know nothing of any such purpose on the part of the officer. Certainly he has not yet applied to the Department for leave of absence, although perhaps it may not be necessary for him to go further than his immediate superior officer, Gen. Otis, to secure permission to return to the States. In that case, however, his leave would be limited to sixty days. The officials point to the decision of the last House that General Wheeler for feited his seat In the House by holding his army commission and make the point that the conditions now are pre cisely similar, so that if the general re turns be must either resign his com mission or hla seat in Congress. It is suggested that a solution of the prob lem might be had by appointing the general to be a major general and re tiring him at onca, in which case as i retired officer : he might continue In the legislative branch under the decis ion in the case of General Sickles. Nineteen Hundred Killed. Washington, Dec. 4 Otis reports to the War Department the killed and wounded of all United States troops in the Philippines to August 1st at nine teen hundred. Only four inlisted men are reported captured In action. There area hundred and seventy-eight de serters still at large. Executor's Notice.
