The following is a bri'f synopsis, including some brief iVHrptii and the niore important features: TSK MKSSAOK. "Notwithstanding the added burdens rendered necessary by the war, our people rejoice at the very fHtisf tetory and steadily increasing do gree ofjprosperity . evidenced by the largest volume-of .business ever re conl'd.

The finances of the govern ment have been successfully admin istTf d and its credit advanced to the first rank, .while the currency has been maintained at the world's hignest standard. The military service under our common llag and for a righteous cause has strengthened the national spirit and served to cement more close ly than ever the fraternal bonds be tween every section of the country." Reviewing.-the. controversy which led up to the war with Spain, the Presi dent takes up the thread of the narra tive where it terminated in his last an nual, message. It concluded; "It is honestly due to our friendly relations with Spain that she should be given reasonable chance to realize her expectations of reform to which she has become irrevocably, commit ted.'1 It became evident, however, that the proposed plans were barren of good results.
