Uur agents in swiizriainihave been ins'.rueteil to protestagainst the conduct of the authori-ties i f cert-ti- communes in permit-ting the emigration to this countryof criminals and other objectiona-ble jiersnns.

NEIGHBORING STATES.

As is natural with contiguousstates having like institutions andlike aims of advancement and de-

velopment, the friendship of theUnited States and Mexico has beenconstantly maintained. The Gov-ernment has lost no occasion of

the Mexican governmentto a beneficial realization of the mutual advantages which will resultfrom more intimate commercial intercourse and from the opening ofthe rich interior of Mexico to railway enterprise. I deem it imiiort- -

ant that means be provided to re-

strain the lawlessness, unfortunately so common on the frontier, andto suppress the forays of the reser-vation Indians on either side of theRio Grande. The neighlioring statesof Central America have preservedinternal peace, and their outwardrelations toward ua have been thoseof intimate friendship. There areencouraging signs of their growingdisposition to subordinate their local interests to those which are common to them by reason of their geo-

graphical relations. The boundarydispute between Guatemala and Mex-

ico has offorded this Government anopportunity to exercise its poodoffices for preventing a rupture be-

tween these states and for procuringa peaceful solution of the question.I cherish n strong hope that, in viewof our relations of nmitv with bothcountries, our friendly counsels willprevail. A special envoy of Guate-mala has brought to me the condo-lences of his Government and peo-

ple on the death of President Gar-field.

The Costa Rica Government late-

ly formed an engagement with Co-

lumbia for settling by arbitrationthe lioundary question betweenthose countries, providing that thepost of arbitrator should lie offeredsuccessively to the King of the Bel-

gians, the King of Spain and thePresident of the Argentine Confed-

eration. The King of the Belgianshas declined to set, but I am not asyet advised of the action of the Kineof Spain. As we have certain

in the disputed territory,which are protected by our treatyengagement with one of the parties,it is important that the . arbitrationshould not, without our consent, af-

fect our rights and this Governmenthas accoidingly thought proier tomake its views known to the partiesto the agreement, as well as to inti-

mate them to the Belgian andSpanish Governments.THE PANAMA CANAL NEGOTIATIONS.

The questions growing out of theproposed inter-oceani-c water wayacross the Isthmus of Panama areof crave national importance. ThisGovernment has not been unndndful of the solemn obligations inrposed upon it, by its compact of

ei , .1..1040 Wlin iioiomoia, uj me muc-pende- nt

and sovereign mistress ofthe territory crossed by tne canai,and has sought to render them ef-

fective by fresh cngaeenients withthe Colombian Republic, looking totheir practical execution. 1 he ne-

gotiations to this end after they hadreached what appeared to re a mutualiv sati?fa tory solution here,were met in Colombia by a disnp--

ttroval of the powers which its envoy had assumed and by a propulfor a renewed negotiation on a mooified basis. Meanwhile this Gov-

ernment learned that Colombia had

I approve the recoinnieudation ofthe Secretary of tho Treasury thatprovision t inatJe for the earl retirement ot silver certificates, andthat the act i t quiring their issue berepealed. I hey wereissucil m lair- -

suance of the pnlicy of the government to maintain silver at or nearthe gold standard, and were accord-ingly made receivable for ail cus-toms, taxes and public dues.thirti'-si- x millions of them are nowoutstmding. They form an unnec

addition to the pajM-- currency, a sum. lent amount ot wiucumay be readily supplied by the na-

tional banks. Iu accordance withthe act of Eeoruary 28, 1878, thelreasurv Department has uiontnlvcaused at le.t ?2,'K)S,(MJ( in valueof silver bullion to be coined intoMandaid silver dollars. One bun-dled and two million of theMi dollars have been already coined, whileonlj1 thirty-fou- r millions are in cir-culation. For the reasons hespecifies I concur iu the Secretary ?

recommendation that ttie provisionlor the coinage of a fixed amounteath month be repealed, and thatIn realtor onlv so much be asshall be necessary to tuppiy the demand.

The Secretary advisis that the is-

sue of cold certificates should not forthe present be resumed, and sug-ger-- ts

that the national maybe properly forbidden by law to re-

tire their currency except upon rea-sonable of their intention soto do. Such legislation would seemto be justified by the recentof certain banks or the occasion re-

ferred to in the Secretary's report.Of the fifteen millions of fractionalcurrency still outstanding, onlyabout $180,000 have Ijeen redeemedthe past year. The euggestion thatthis amount may properly lie drop-ped from statements of the

debt seems worthy of approv-al. So also dcts the suggestion ofthe Secretary as to the advisabilityof relieving the calendar of the Uni-

ted State Court in the -- Southerndistrict of New York by the trans-fer to another tribunal of the nu-

merous suits there pending againstcollectors.
