' The outbreak of domestic hostilities in the republic of brazil bound the United states t; watch the interests of our citi zens in that country, with which we a rv on important commerce. Several ressels of our new navy are now and for some tune have been stationed at Uio de .Janeiro. The struggle being be 1 'ween the er-tabiished government vvbieh controls the machinery of the administration and with which we aaintaia frieiully relations, and certain flice.s of the navy employing the ves els of their command in an attack upon the capita! and chief seaport, and ,iig, its it tunes, ttie elemeiits cf tUriued idministration. .1 have failed to see that the insurgents ean claim recognition as hllige rents. Thj.sfarthe ixsitiou of our govern ment has been that of an attentive but impartial observer of the unfortunate ionfliet. Emphasising our policy of im partial neutrality in suha condition aa low exists, i deemed it necessary to iisavow in a manner notto be inisun lerstood, the unauthorized action of our late naval commander in those water? n siiluting the revolted Urazilian ad- niral, being indisposed to countenance' in act calculated to give gratuitous ianction to the local insurrection. THE CHILEAN CLAIMS. The convention between onr govern nent and Chile, having for its object I he settlement and adjustment of the lemandsof the two countries against ;ach other, has been made effective by the organization of the claims commis jion provided for. The two governments failing to agree anon the third- member of the commis uon, the good offices of the president of the. Swiss republic Were invoked, as pro vided in the treaty, and the selection of ;he Swiss representative in this coun ty to complete the organization wras gratifying alike to the United States ind Chile. eoan's break reviewed. The vexatious question of so-called legation asylums for offenders against the state and its laws, was presented Ijiew in Chile by the unauthorized ac tion of the late United States minister in receiving into his official residence two persons who had just failed in an attempt at revolution, and against whom criminal charges were pending, grow- ing out of a former abortive tu-.turb-tnce. The doctrine of asylum as applied to this case is not sanctioned bv the best precedents, and, when allowed, tends to fncourage sedition aid strife. Under no circumstances can the representatives of this government be permitted, under the ill-defined fiction of extra territoriality, Jo interrupt the- administration oi ! ;crim- , trial - justice in the countries to which i"they arc accredited. A temperate de rnand having been made by the Chilean roverninent for the correction of this jonduct in the instance mentioned, the , minister, was instructed to nq longer a arbor the offenders. ' AS TO THE CEiET LAW. - The lecislation of last year known. a3 the Geary law, requiring the registration jf all Chinese entitled to residence in the tlhlted States, and the deportation of ail aotcomplying-with the provisions of the' act within the time prescribed, met with aouch opposition from Chinamen.

OUR GROWING NAVY. Tlie report of the secretary of the navy contains a history of the operations ol his department during the past year " and exhibits a most gratifying condition of the personnel of our navy, lie pre sents a satisfactory account of the pro gress which has been made in the con struction of vessels and makes a n umbel of recommendations ta which attentioa Is especially invited. Wuile l am distinctly in favor of oon sistently pursuing the policy we hava inaugurated of building up a thorough nnd efficient navy, I cannot refrain from the suggestion that congress should carefully take into account the unfin ished vessels on our hands and the! de pleted condition of our treasury in -considering 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 incalculable benefits con ferred by the civil service law, not only in its effect upon the public .ser vice, but also what is even more im portant in its effect in elevating the tone of political life generally. FOR TARIFF REFORM. After a hard struggle, tariff reform is directly before us. Nothing so iu. portant elaims our attention and not e nig so clearly presents itself as both an opportunity- and a duty, an oppor tunity to deserve the gratitude of fellow citizens and a duty im. 7v d. upon us by our oft-repeated proi.. sious and by the emphatic mandate of the people. After full discussion, oiir country men have spoken in favor of this n form, and they have confided the wo of its accomplishment to the hands those who are solemnly pledged to .'. Nothing should intervene to dbtrs our attention or disturb our effort -til this reform is accomplished by w. and careful legislation. T1IK WILSON BILL, A measure has been prepared by the appropriate congressional committee, embodying tariff reform on the lines herein suggested, which will be promptly submitted for legislative ac tion. It is the result of much patriotic and unselfish work, and I believe t deals with its subject consistent as thoroughly asexisting eooun.. permit. FOR AN INCOMK TAX. The committee, after full considera tion, and to provide against a temporary deficiency which may exist Ik fore t! busieess of the country adjusts its to the new tariff schedules, have wi. embraced in their-schedule a few ac tional internal revenue taxes, inchnii a small tax upon income derived fro certain corporate investments: These new assessments are not only absolutely just and easily lnirne. bin thev have the further merit of bein sucli as can be remitted without unfa vorable business disturbance whenever the necessity for their imposition- nu longer exists. . . In my great desire for the succ ,' this measure, I eannot restrain the-sug gestitm that its success can only I e. at tained by means of unselfish conns 1 on the part of tariff reform, and as a r suit of their willingness to subordinate ;er Konal tiesires and ambitions to the en eral gootl. The local interests afT -tt-d by the proposed reform are so rmm and so varied that if all are i;,.-. T . upon the legislation emlodying the- e form must inevitably fail. in coxcu siox. In conclusion, 'ray intense feeling ' responsibility impels me to invoke f the manifold interests of a generous ... confiding people the most seruo care, and to pledge my willing bdj.?; to every legislative effort for the Ad vancement of the greatness aud pros perity of our countrv. 1 OnovKH Cleveland. .
