THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE.
(reuter’s telegrams.)
New York, December 7
The President’s annuaL message to Congress expresses regret at the action of Canadian officials on the fisheries question, which had imperilled the friendly relations between the United States and Canada, but it is hoped that during the present session negotiations with England would result in a satisfactory settlement of the dispute. The President is confident that an understanding will be arrived at with Germany and England which will secure the autonomy and neutrality of Samoa. Alluding to the excess of revenue now being realised, the President recommends a readjustment ot taxation, but would not change the present fiscal policy, and would continue to collect the chief revenue by import duties. The message again urges the suspension of silver coinage, and alludes to the significant increase ia the gold export.
