Premilciil McTTIutey's ntm tutl nicssiige was read In loth houses of tho legislature ut the first day's session today. The niessuge in pai ls ns follows: To th Senate and House of Itcpresen tatlve: At the out&olnjr of the old and the In coming of the new century you be- rin the last session of the Fifty-sixth congress with evidences on every hand of Individual and national prosperity and with proof of the growing strength and Increasing power for good "of Re publican Institutions. Your country men will Join with you In felicitation that American liberty Is more firmly established 'than ever before and that love for It and the determination to preserve It are more universal than at any former period of our history. In our foreign intercourse the domi nant question has been the treatment of the Chinese problem. Apart from this our.rclatlons with the powers have been happy. The recent troubles In China spring from the anti-foreign agitation which for the past three years has gained strength In the northern provinces. Their origin lies deep In the character of the Chinese races and In the tradi tions of their government. The tele graph and the railway spreading over their land the steamers plying on their waterways, the merchant and the mis sionary penetrating year by year farther to the interior, became to the Chinese mind types of an alien Inva slon, changing the course of their na tional lire ana fraught with vague forebodings of disaster to their beliefs and their self-control. The sect commonly styled the Boxers developed greatly In the provinces north of-the Yangtso, and with the collusion of many notable officials of the throne itself, became alarmingly aggressive. No foreigner's life, outside of the protected treaty ports, was safe, No foreign Interest was secure from spoliation. The diplomatic representatives of the powers in Pekin strove In vain to check this movement. Protest was fol lowed by demand and demand by re newed protest, to bo met with perfunc tory edicts from the palace and evasive and futile asurances from the Tsung LI Yamen. The increasing gravity of the condl tlons In China and the Imminence of peril to our diversified interests In the empire, as well as to those of all the other treaty governments, were soon appreciated by the government, caus ing It profound solicitude. The United States from the earliest days of foreign intercourse witn cnina, naa rollowed a policy of peace, omitting no occasion to testify good will, to further the ex tension of lawful trade, to respect the sovereignty of its government and to Insure by all legitimate and kindly but earnest rmans the fullest measure 'of protection for the lives and property of aw abiding citizens and for the exer cise of their benificent callings among the Chinese people. Mindful of this, it was felt to be ap propriate that our purposes should be pronounced In favor of such course .as would hasten united action of the pow ers at Pekin to promote the adminis trative reforms so greatly needed for strengthening the Imperial government and maintaining the Integrity of China, in which we believed the whole western world to be alike concerned. To these ends I caused to be addressed to the several powers occupying territory and maintaining spheres of influence in China the circular proposals of 1899, ln- Itlng from them declarations of their mentions and views as to the desira bility of the adoption of measures In uring the benefits of equality of treat ment of all foreign trade throughout China. With gratifying unanimity the re sponses coincided in this common pol icy, enabling me to see In the success ful termination of these negotiations proof of the friendly spirit which ani mates the various powers Interested in the untrammeled development of com merce and Industry In the Chinese em pire as a source of vast benefit to the whole commercial world. The president then tells in brief the tory of the rescue of the legations. and proceeds: The policy cf the United States through all this trying period was clearly announced and scrupulously carried out. A circular note to the powers, dated July 3, proclaimed our ttitude. Treating the condition in the north as one of virtual anarchy, in which the great provinces of the south and southeast had no share, we re garded the local authorities in the lat ter quarters as representing the Chi nese people with whom we sought to remain in peace and friendship. Our declared alms involved no war against tne t-ninese nation. We adhered to the legitimate office of rescuing the im erlled legation, obtaining redress for wrongs already suffered, securing wherever possible the safety of Ameri can life and property in China and pre venting a spread of the disorders or their recurrence. As was then said: "The policy of the government of the United States is to seek a solution which may bring aboJt permanent safety and peace to China preserve Chinese territorial and admin istrative entity, protect all rights guaranteed to friendly powers by treaty and International law and safe guard for the world the principle of equal and Impartial trada with all parts of the Chinese empire." Faithful to those proessions which, as it proved, reflected the views and purposes of the other co-operative gov ernments, all our efforts, have been di rected toward ending the anomalous situation In China by negotiations for a settlement at the earliest possible moment. As soon as the sacred duty J2SJevlng our legation and Its de pendents was accomplished we with drew from active hostilities, leaving our legation under an adequate guard in Pekin as a channel of negotiation and settlement, a course adopted by others of the Interested powers. Over tures of the empowered representatives of the Chinese emperor have been con slderately entertained. The exposition of the resources and products of the Western hemisphere to oe held at Uuffnlo next year, promises important results not only for the United Mates, but for the other porticinatlu countries. It is gratifying that the Latin American states Lave evinced the live liest interest, and tho fact that an In- ternotional American congress will be r.cil in the city of Mexico while the ex- position is in progress, encourages the hope of a larger display at Buffalo than might otherwise be practicable. The work of preparing an exhibit of our Da uuiuu renounces is malting satisfactory progress under the direction of different olllcers of the federal government and the various stutes of tho union hav shown a disposition toward the most liberal participation in the entemrlse. In my last annual. message I dwelt at some length upon the condition of affairs In the Philippines. While seek lng to Impress upon you that the grave responsibility of the. future govern ment of those Islands rests with the congress of the United States, I ab siainea irom recommending at that time a specific and final form of gov ernment for the territory actually held by the United States forces and In which as long as insurrection contln ues military arm must necessarily be supreme. Progress hi the hoped for direction baa Deen favorable. Our forces have skll fully controlled the greater part of the Islands.overcomlng the organized forces of Insurgents and carrying order and administrative regularity to all quar ters. vvnat opposition remains Is for the most port scattered. The president speaks of the nnooint ment of the Philippine commission and ins instructions to that body. He con Unties: "Colncidently with the entrance of tne commission upon Its labors caused to be issued by General Mao Arthur, the military governor of the I'Mlippines, on June 21, 1900, a procla mauon or amnesty In renermn lorn.. of which many of the insureents tnnlc advantage, among them a number of important leaders. The present strength of the army is 100,000 men, 65,000 regulars and 35,000 volunteers. Under the act of March 2, 1S99, on the 30th of June next the pres ent volunteer force will be discharged una me regular army will be reduced to i.ni officers and 29.025 enlisted men We have In Cuba between 5.000 and 8.- 000 troops. For the present our troops in that Island cannot be withdrawn or materially diminished, and certainly not until tne conclusion of the labors of the constitutional convention now in session and a government provided by the new constitution shall have Deen established and its stability as sured. In Porto Rico we have reduced the garrisons to 1,636, which Includes S79 native troops. There is no room for further reduction here. We will be re quired to keep a considerable force In the Philippines for some time to come. From the best Information obtainable we will need there for the Immediate future from 45,000 to 60,000 men. I am sure the number may be reduced as the insurgents shall come to acknowledge the authority of the United States, of wnicn tnere -are assuring Indications It must be apparent that we will re quire an army of about 60,000 and that during the present conditions In Cuba and the Philippines the president snoui-have authority to Increase the force to the present numjjer of 100,000. included in this number authorltv should be given to raise native troops in tne Philippines up to 15.000. which the Taft commission believes will be more effective In detecting and sup pressing guerrillas, assassins and la arones tnan our own soldiers. I favor the recommendation of the secretary of war for the detail of officers from the line of the army when vacancies occur In the adjutant general's department. Inspector general's department, quar termaster's - department, subsistence department, pay department, ordnance department and signal corps. ine president speaks of the raold growtn of the postal service and an proves the recommendation of the sec retary of the navy for new vessels and for more officers and men. The pension roll shows a net. Increase of 2,010 names. . Action Is recommended In the wav of increasing tne number of schools in Alaska. Progress is noted in the edu cational, agricultural and railroad de velopment of the Hawaiian islands. The civil service commission is great ly embarrassed in Its work for want of an adequate permanent force for clerical and other assistance. Its needs are fully set forth in Its report. I In vite attention to the report, and es pecially urge upon the congress that this important bureau of the public service which passes upon the quali fications and character of so large a number of the officers and employes of tne government, should be supported by all needed appropriations to secure promptness and eflieciency. In onr great prosperity we must guard against the danger.it invites of extravagance in government expenditures and appro priations, and the chosen representa tives of the people will, I doubt not, furnish an example in their legislation of that wise economy which, in a sea son of plenty, husbands for the future. In this era of great business activity and opportunity caution Is not untime ly. It will not abate, but strengthen confidence; It will not retard, but pro mote legitimate Industrial and com mercial expansion. Our growing power brings with It temptations and perils requiring constant vigilance to avoid. It must not be used to Invite conflicts nor for oppression, but for the more effective maintenance of tnose princi ples of equality and Justice upon which our Institutions and happiness depend. Let us keep always In mind that the foundation of our government is lib--erty; Its superstructure, peace. WILLIAM M KINLEY. Executive Mansion, Dec. 3. Mrs. Van Llew Hentenoeil Fnr Ten Yar4. VAN WKKT.

Yesterday's deud ar Lllery Ciamhill, aged 12 and E. P. Tice, aged 40. Nine of the dead were buried yesterday. The victims were watching a football game between the Stanford and Uiiiv sity of California teams when the roof beneath them gave way, precipitatiu them to the Iloor of the factory. Some of them fell upon the furnaces and out man of unknown identity was burned al most to a crUp. The crash of the falling roof was heard a great distance away and thousands of people hurri.id to the scene. Messages were sent to the city hospital and tb morgue and the available ambulauci were hurried to the spot. There were more than 200 people on the root when it collapsed. Those for tunate enough to be' on a sldo section of the building, hurried down and helped remove the Injured. The heat around tho furnaces was so great, however, that to many no assistance could be rendered. and they slowly roasted to death. N'ot 200 yards a vay were 20,000 peoo watching the football ganu and who the news becunie known there was In tense excitem nit among them. Tho ujh ers went through the crowd calling for doctors and many surgeons hurriedly left the game. The living victims of the dis aster, were taken to various hospitaM. The Southern Pacific Hospital, within two blocks of the scene was soon over crowded and niony of the wounded hft to be turned away. They were hurr'-! to St. Luke's, the receiving hospital an nearby drug stores. So scattered were they among the various institutions, tha it was at first impossible to tell exactl how many were hurt or how serloury tney were injured. The manager of the glass works realiz ed the danger before the accident occur red and had sent for the police to compel the crowd to leave. Just as- a squad n olllcers arrived tho roof went down. The fires n the furnaces had been started for the first time and the va-s were full of liquid glass. It was upon these that t!u victims fell. Some wen killed Instantly and others were slowly ronsteu to death. The few who missed the furnaces roll ed off together with workmen in the glass works saved the lives of many by pulling mem away rrom tneir Humble rest I u place. MURDER, NOT SUICIDE. Relieved That George Annls Was Beaten and Robbed. JAMESTOWN N. Y., Dec. 8. Last Thursday Information was sent out of the death at Syracuse of George Annls of Jamestown, who it was reported, committed suicide by Jumping into the canal In that city. There were bus piclous circumstances connnected with the case. The body was brought to Jamestown and yesterday morning an autopsy was conducted. It showed conclusively that the young man was suffering from a de ranged condition of tho mental facul ties, and that this condition resulted from a recent blow on the head. The scalp was bruised and a clot of blood had formed between the scalp and skull. Under the skull at this pomt the brain was congested and blood clots had formed. Indications were that the Injury was of very recent or igin, not more than 48 hours before death. The physicians say that Injury was caused by a sandbag or something of that nature. Annls had evidently been robbed, a valuable ring had been torn from the finger and a large amount of money which Annls should have had In his possession was missing.
