The president today transmitted to congress hi an nual messase. as follows? i' To the Senate and House of Represen 1 tatives: ; At the threshold of your deliberations yon are called to mourn with your coun trymen the death of Vice President Ho brt, who passed from this life on the morning of November 21st, last. His great soul now rests in eternal peace. His pr.vate life was pure and elevated, while his public career was ever distin guished by large capacity, stainless in tegrity and exalted motives. He has been removed from the high office which he honored and dignified, hjit his loitjr character, his devotion to duty, his hon esty of purpose and noble virtues re main with.ua as a priceless legacy and example. -; . The Fifty-sixth congress convenes in its first regular session with the country in a condition of unusual prosperity, of universal good will among the" people at home and in relations of peace and friendship with every government of the world. Our foreign commerce has shown- great increase in. "volume and value, i The combined imports aad ex ports for the year ar8 thu largest ever shown by a single year in all our his tory. Our exports for 1893 alone ex ceeded by more than 1, 000. 000, 000 our imports and exports combined in 1S70; The imports per capita are kO per cent less than in; 1S70, while the exports per Capita are 58 per cent more than in 1870, showing the enlarged capacity of the United States to satisfy the wants of its own increasing population, as well as to contribute to those of the peoples of other nations. - Question of Trusts. Combinations of capital organized into trusts to control the conditions of trade among our citizens, to stifle com petition, limit production and determine the prices of products usei-and con sumed by the people, are justly provok ing public discussion and should early claim the attention of the congres.s. The industrial commission created by the act of congress of June lb, 18i)8, has been engaged in extended hearings upon the disputed questions involved in the subject of combinations in restraint of trade and competition. They have not yet completed their investigations of this subject and the conclusion and recommendations at which they may arrive are undetermined. The s-ubject is one giving rise to many divergent views as to the nature and variety or cause and extent of the injuries to the public which may result from large combinations concentrating more or less numerous enterprises and 'establish ments which previously to the forma tion of the combination were carried separately. It is universally conceded that combi nations which engross or control the market of any particular kind of mer chandise or commodity necessary to the general community, by suppressing nat ural and ordinary competition, whereby prices are unduly enhanced to the gen eral consumer, are obnoxious not only to the common law, but also to the pub lic welfare. There must be a remedy forhe evils involved, in such organiza tions. If the present Mvr can be ex tended more certainly jTo control or check these monopolies or trusts, it should be done without delay. What ever power the congress posesses over this mo3t important subject should be A XVonaeriai Discover.

It is to be hoped that such uniformity founded in; a wise and just discrimination between what is injurious and what is useful and necessary iu business operations may be obtained and that means may be found lor the congress within the limitations of its constitutional power so as to supplement an effective code of state legislation so to make a complete system of laws throughout the United States adequate to compel a general ob- .-pservance of the salutary rules to which 1 have reterrea. The whole question is so important and farreaching that I am sure no part of it will be lightly considered, but every phase of it will have, the studied deliberation of congress resulting in wise and judicious action. The Nicxragua-Caiial. The - Nicaragua canal commission, which had been engaged upon the work of examination and survey for a route across Nicaragua, having completed its labors and made its reports, was dis solved on May-31, and on June 10 anew commission, known as the isthmian canal commission, was organized under the terms Of the act approved March 3, 1899, for the purpose of examining the American isthmus with a view to de termining the mo3t practicable and feasible route for a ship canal across that isthmus, with its probable cost and other essential details. This commission, under the presi dency of Rear Admiral John G. Wal ker, U. S. N., retired, entered promptly upon the work intrusted to it and is now carrying on examinations in Nica ragua along tha route of the Panama canal and in Darieu from the Atlantic, from the neighborhood of . the Atralto river to the bay of Panama on the Pa cific side. Good progress has been made, but under the law a comprehen sive and complete investigation is called for, which will require much labor and considerable time for its accomplish ment. The work will be prosecuted as" expeditiously, as possible and a report made at the earliest practicable date. The great importance of this worlp cannot be too often or too strongly pressed npoa the attention of the con gress. In my message of ' a year ago I expressed my views of .the necessity of a canal which would link the two great oceans, to which 1 again invite your con sideration. The reasons then presented for early action are even stronger now. 15oc i-Jlriiish Coiifl ct. This government has maintained an attitude of neutrality in the unfortu nate contest betweea Great Eiitah and the Boer states of Africa. We have re mained faithful to the precept of avoid ing entangling alliances as to 4airs not of our direct concern. Had circum stances suggested that the parties to the quarrel would have welcomed any kindly expression of the' hope of the American people that war miht be averted, good offices would have been gladly tendered! The United States' representative at Pretoria was early instructed to see that all neutral American interests be re spected by the combatants. This has been an easy task in view of the posi tive declarations of both British and Boer authorities that the personal and property rights of our citizens should be observed. ' Upon the withdrawal of the British agent from Pretoria, the United States Consul was authorized, upon the request of theBritish government and with the assent of the South African and Orange Free State governments, to exercise the customary good offices of a neutral for the care of British interests. In the dis charge of this function, I am happy to say that abundant opportunity has been afforded to show the impartiality of this government toward both the combat ants. - Cub.m Administration. My annual message of last year was necessarily devoted in great part to a consideration of the Spanish war and of the results it wrought and the condi tions it imposed fur the future. Iam gratified to announce that the treaty of peace has restored friendlv relations be tween the two powers. Effect has been given to its important provisions. The evacuation of Porto Rico having already been accomplished on Oct. 18, 1898, nothing remained necessary there to continue the provisional military con trol of the island until the con gress should enact a suitable govern ment for" th9 ceded territory. Of the character and scope of the measures to that end I shall treat in another part of this message. The withdrawal of the authority of Spain from the island of Cuba was ef fected by Jan. 1, so that the full re es tablishment of peace found1 the Relin quished territory held by us in trust for the inhabitants, maintaining under the direction Of the executive such govern ment and control therein as should con serve public order, restore the produc tive conditions of peace so long dis turbed by the instability and disorder which prevailed for the greater part of the preceding three decades, and build up that tranquil develppment of the do mestic state whereby alone can be real ized the high purpose as proclaimed in the joint resolution adopted by the con gress on April 19, 1898, by which the Uuited States disclaimed any disposi tion or intention to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or control over Cuba, ex cept for the pacification thereof, and as serted its determination when that was accomplished to leave the government and control of the island to its people. The pledge contained in this resolu tion is of the highest honorable obliga tion and musti be sacredly kept. I be lieve that substantial progress has been made in this direction. All the admin istrative measures adopted in Cuba have aimed to fit for a regenerated existence by enforcing the supremacy of law and justice; by placing whereer practicable the machinery of administration in the hands of the inhabitants; by instituting needed sanitary reforms; by spreading education; by fostering industry and trade; by inculcating publio morality, and, in short, by taking every rational step to aid the Cuban people to attain to that plane of self oonscious respect and self reliant unity which fits an en lightened community for self govern ment within its own sphere, while en abling it to fulfill all outward obliga tions. Philippines Problem. On the 10th of December, 1899, the treaty of peace between the United States and Spain was signed. It pro vided, among other things, that Spain should cede to the United States the archipelago known as the Philippine islands; that the United States Bhould pay to Spain the sum of twenty millions af dollars, and that the civil rishta and - - ' CO., HEW YOftK. political status or the native inhabitants of the territories thus ceded to the United States should be determined by the congress. The treaty was ratified by the senate on the 6th of February,, 1899, and by the government of Spain on the 19th of March following. The ratifications were exchanged on the 11th of April, and the treaty publicly pro claimed. J On the 2nd of March the con gress voted the sum contemplated by the treaty and the amount was paid' .over to the topanish government on the "1st of May. In this manner the Philippines came to the United States. The islands were ceded by the government of Spain, which had been in undisputed posses sion of them for centuries. They were accepted, not merely by our authorized agents in Paris under the direction of the executive, but by the constitutional and well considered action of the repre sentatives of the people in both houses of congress. I had every reason to be lieve, and I still believe, that this trans fer of sovereignty was in "accordance with the wishes and the aspirations of the great mass of the Filipino people. From the earliest moment, no oppor tunity was lost of assuring the people of the islands of our ardent desire for their welfare, and of the intention of this government to do everything pos sible to advance their interests. Agul.-ialdo's Claim. The claim of the rebel leader that he was promiseindependence by any offi cer of the United States in return for his assistance has no foundation in fact and is categorically denied by the very witnesses who were called to prove it. The most the insurgent leader hoped for when he came to Manila was the liberation of the islands from the Span ish control, which they had been labor ing for years without success to throw off. The prompt accomplishment of this work by the American army and navy gave him other ideas and ambitions, and insidious suggestions from various quarters perverted the purposes and in tentions with which he had taken up arms. No sooner had our army captured Ma nila than the Filipino forces began to assume an attitude of suspicion and hostility which the utmost efforts of our officers and troops were unable ta disarm or' modify. Their kindness and forbearance were taken as a proof of cowardice; The aggressions of the Fili pinos continually increased until finally, just before the time set by tha senate of the United States for a vote upon the treaty, an attack, evidently prepared in advance, was made all along the Amer ican lines, which' resulted in a terribly destructive and sanguinary repals'o oi the rebels. With a devotion'and gallantry worthy of its most brilliant history, the army, ably and loyally assisted by the navy, has carried on this unwelcome but most righteous campaign with richly de served success. .. Although their opera tions have been somewhat interrupted and checked b? a rainy season of unu sual violence and duraiion, they have gained steadily in every direction and now look forward confidently to a speedy completion of their task. Everything indicates that with the speedy suppression of the Tagalo rebel lion, life in the archipelago will soon resume its ordinary course under the protection of our sovereignty and the people of those favored islands will en joy a prosperity and a freedom which they have never before known. Citmiot K Abandoned. The future government of the Philip pines rests with the congress of the United States. Fewer graver responsi bilities have ever been confided to us. If we accept them in a spirit worthy of our race and our traditions a great op portunity comes with them. The islands lie under the shelter of our flag. They are ours by every title of law and equity. They cannot be abandoned If we desert them, we leave them at once to anarchy and finally to barbarism. We fling them, a golden apple of discord, among the rival powers, no one of which could permit another to seize them unquestioned. Their rich plains and valleys would be the scene of endless strife and blood shed. The advent of Dewey's fleet in Ma nila bay instead of being, as we hope, the dawn of a new day of freedom and progress, will have been the beginning of an era of misery and violence worse than any which has darkened their un happy past. The suggestion has been made that we could renounce our authority over the islands and giving them indepen dence could retain a protectorate over them. This proposition will not be found, I am sure, worthy of your seri ous attention. Such an arrangement would invoive at the outset a cruel breach of faith. It would place the peaceable and loyal majority, who ask for nothing better than to accept our authority, at the mercy of the minority armed insurgents. It would make us responsible for the acts of the insurgent Aiders and give ns no power to control them. It would charge us with the task of protecting them against each other and defending them against any foreign power with which they chose to quarrel. In short, it would take from the congress of the United States the power of declaring war and Vest that tremendous preroga tive in the Tagal leader of the hour. It does not seem desirable that I should recommend at this tim.9 a spe cific and final form of government for these islands. When peace shall be re stored it will be the duty of congress to construct a plan of government which shall establish and maintain freedom and order and peace in the Philippines. The insurrection is stiil existing and when it terminates further information will be required a to the actual condi tion of affairs before inaugurating a permanent scheme of civil government. Until congress shall have made known the formal expression of its will, I shall use the authority vested in me by the constitution and the statutes to uphold the sovereignty of the United States in those distant islands, as in all other' places where our flag rightfully floats. Our flag has never waived over any community but in blessing. I believe the Filipinos will soon recognize the fact that it has not lost its gift of bene diction in this worldwide journey to their shores. Porto Rlciiii Affairs. I recommend that legislation be had with reference to the government of Porto Rico. The time is ripe for the adoption of a temporary form of gov ernment for this island. It is desirable that the government of the island, under the law of belligerent right, now maintained through the ex ecutive department, should -be super seded bv an: administration antirolv civil in its nature. For the" present pur pose I recommend that congress pass a law for the organization of a temporary government which shall provide for the appointment by the president, subject to confirmation by the senate, of a gov ernor and such other officers as the gen eral administration of the island may require and for legislative purposes, on subjects of a local nature not partaking of a federal character. A legislative council, composed partly of Porto Ricans and partly of citizens .of the United States, shall be nominated and appointed by the president. Liyuch Liw Condemued. - The love of law and the sense of obe dience and submission to the lawfully constituted judicial tribunals, are em bedded in the hearts of our people, and any violation of these sentiments and disregard of their ' obligations, justly arouses public condemnation. The guarantees. of life, liberty, and of civil rights, should be faithfully upheld, the right of trial by jury respected and de fended. Those who, in disregard of law and the public peace, unwiLing to await the judgment of court and jury, consti tute themselves judges and executioners should not escape the severest penalties for ttheir crimes. Great Opportunities. Presented to this congress are great opportunities; with them come great responsibilities. vThe power confided to us increases the weight of bur obliga tions to the people, and we must be pro foundly sensitive of them as we contem plate the new and grave problems which confront us. Aiming only at the pub lic good, we ?annot err. A right inter pretation of the people's will, and of duty, cannot fail to insure wise meas ures for the welfare of the islands which have come under the authority of the United States, and to inure to the com mon interest .and lasting honor Of our country. Never has this nation had more abundant cause than during the past year for thankfulness to God for manifold blessings and mercies, for which we make reverent acknowledg ment. William McKinley. Executive Mansion, Dec. 5, 1899. LONE BANDIT ROBS A CAR. t ld Up Southern Iitii.way Train Is II Near Urancliv lie. Eraxchville, S. C, Dec. 2. An un known white masked man robbed a Southern Express company car near this place on the Southern railway last night. 'The train had just left tke station when Messengers Ramsey and Rhodes were covered with two revolvers hold in the hands of the robber. One messen ger was made to stand with his hands over his head and the other was com manded to hand over the money pack ages in the safe. About f 1,700 was se cured and the robber, after warning the messengers not to put a foot outside of the car until the train had got undr headway again, pulled the bell cord and jumped off as the train slowed up. The conductor saw the robber escap ing alongside of the trackJ but thinking hin. a timp signaled the engineer ahead. When the train got under head way the messengers came out and told their story. The car was a combination baggage and express car, and the door had been opened to permit the conductor to reach the baggage section, which was in the forward end of the car. It was on ac count of this fact that the robber was ble to enter the car. One of tha safes in the car, which es caped the robber's notice, contained $8,000. The sheriff of Dorchester, with six men and two hounds, have been hurried to the scene of the robbery and will take rp the chase. JEWISH SYNAGOGUE AFIRE. Slickva Israel Temple at Savannah Uadly Damaged., Savannah, Dec. a. Fire broke out last night &t 7 o'clock in the basement of Mickva Israel temple, the Jewish synagogue, just after the conclusion of the day's services. Smoke had been noticed before the services were over, but for some reason little attention was paid to it. Rev. L P. Mendez, the rabbi, had just finished a sermon on "The Modern Jew," and the congregation had barely got outside the temple when increased volumes of smoke were seen issuing from the cellar and an alarm was turned in. The fire had started from the furnac and had made good headway, though smothered. It was soon put out, though considerable damage was done, by wa ter and smoke, to the church, which had just been elaborately repaired. The synagogue can be pat in shape for next week's services. ADVANCE IN COAL RATES. Railroads Issue Notice to Shippers of a General Increase. Atlanta, Dec. 2. The railroads have given notice to shippers that there will be a general advance in coal rates about Dec. 18. The advance will be from Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama mines to Georgia points and Alabama common points and local points except the South Atlantic ports. The advance will be 10 cents per ton both on domestic and steam coaL This is 15 cents below the old rate on domes tic coal, but an advance on the steam coal rate. A railroad official who was asked about the advance stated that the price of coal has been advanced 50 to 75 cents a ton over last year, and that the rail roads think that they are entitled to some share of the profits. Alabaiiiiaii Slain at Manila. Huntsville, Ala., Dec. 2. Captain Oliver B.. WarwicK of the Eighteenth United States infantry, reported killed in.the Philippine islands, was a native of. Huntsville. He was a son of George W. Warwick, a pioneer cit izen of Huntsville. Captain Warwick was appointed - to the West Point academy by Judge Peter M.

JOUBERT QUITS 1ESTC0IJRT Charges Brought Against the British by an Amsterdam Paper, Which Alleges That JJoer Prisoners Were Murdered and Robbed. London, Deo. 5. Field Marshal Lord Roberts will be ordered to Cape Town to take chief command of all the British forces in South Africa, according to a rumor prevalent today, superseding General Bailer. Lord Roberts ranks next to Lord Wolseley, the commander-in-chief of her majesty's f o: .es, and was long commander-in-chief in India. This news caused a decided commo tion in military quarters, which were already greatly agitated by the ordering out of 10,000 fresh men 'under General Thomas Kelly-Kenny, inspector general of the auxiliary forces and recruiting. Military experts think General. Buller has enough to do to look after Natal, while Generals Gitacre, French and Methuen are operating almost as inde pendent commanders. v Although the repairing of the oable between Aden and Zanzibar has re stored the route "via Aden" to South Africa and thereby relieved quite a budget of belated dispatches, there is nothing at hand throwing light on Gen eral Buller's preparations for the relief of Ladysmith or the movements of the other British columns. News from Ladysmith has been re ceived up to the ' night of Wednesday, Nov. 29, when all was well, provisiono were plentiful ' and the' bombardment was ineffective. Dispatches of the same date from the Boer headquarters refer to the renewal of a heavy bombardment with a fourth siege gun, christened "Franchise," which had juss arrived from Pretoria, and a lifeless response from the garrison. Eighty Killed at Ladysmith. The latest dispatches state that from the beginning of the investment up to last Saturday, Nov. 25, there were 83 killed and wounded, including both mil itary and civilians. The Boers shell the town from all sides,; their favorite time for opening being at midnight The heaviest casualties occurred on Nov. 9, our casualties numbering 91. A special dispatch from Durban says the Boers lost 1,800 men at what has been popularly known aa the battle of Glen coe. It is also said that scurvy and dys entery are rampat among ' the burghers who aro beleaguering Ladysmith. A dispatch from Pretoria mentions an unimportant sortie from- Kimberley Nov. 27, and. says: j "The British prisoners are well. The government has permitted them to sub scribe to the state library and also al lows them to purchase beer and news papers." The reports of the abandonment of the siege of Mafeking, although coming from various quarters, are not con firmed. Apparently General Cronje left there a force sufficient to hold the garrison in check. A dispatch from Lorenzo Marquez, under date of Nov. 29, says: "General Jonbert has retired from Estcourt and is now blowing up the Co lenso bridge. He brings a large herd of cattle and intends to concentrate his forces around Ladysmith." Ugly Charge Against Britons. Ugly charges are made against Brit ish soldiers at Elandilaagte by a re porter of the leading Amsterdam paper, The Algemeen Hand Elsblad, who vis ited the Boer prisoners aboard the guardship Penelope in Simon's bay. It is alleged that the prisoners and the wounded were robbed of everything valuable, even wedding rings, and that in one case a Boer's finger was cut off to get a ring. The correspondent says: "Never have I thought Englishmen to be such brutes Imagine that about 90 men were behind a kopje when 300 lancers attacked them. The Boers had to surrender to such overwhelming numbers and threw down their weapons in token of submission. Bat the cap tain of the lanoera shouted: ' ' -, " 'Kill the ',' whereupon 'a tre mendous massacre ensued. Sousen thaler, the only prisoner among them, was spared because he had remained flat on the ground." Remarkable corroboration of this charge is furnished by a letter, written bv Private Dolan of the Fifth lancers, about obviously the same incident at Elandslaagte. He describes how the lancers charged a kopje, adding: ; "As soon as they saw the lancers they threw up their rifles and ammunition and oried. 'Friends,' but it was no go, for they fired on the Red Oroas and we had no mercy for them." Payne For Chairman Hauna, New York, Dec. 5. Henry O. Payne, national Republican committeeman from Wisconsin, is in New York. Talk ing with a reporter, he saldJ "X have seen the pnplished statements quoting me as an authority for a rumor that United States Senator M, A. Banna was to retire from the chairmanship of the Republicon national committee. I never made it and the report' must be toe re sult of a misunderstanding. In 1896 I was one of those who urged Mr. Hauna to take the chairmanship. He was very reluctant to do so, but finally oonseoted. I hope he will continue in the position. " Insurance Meu to Organize. Jackson, Miss., Dec. 6. A call has been issued for a meeting of the general and special agents representing old line life insurance companies in Mississippi, to take place at Jackson on Deo. 21. The meeting is for the purpose of effect ing a permanent organization to ' be known as the Life Underwriters' Asso ciation of Mississippi, i t Kurds Massaore, Armenians.
