To the Senate and House of Representatives:I transmit herewith, for the information of the Congress, a communication from the Secretary of State, covering the report of the Director of the Bureau of the American Republics for the year 1896.
We can not view the pending conflict without considering...our inevitably close relations to it.
I transmit herewith a treaty for the arbitration of all matters in difference between the United States and Great Britain.
I am not willing, even by inaction, to be charged with acquiescence in what appears to be such an entire departure from the principle, as well as sentiment, connected with reasonable pension legislation.
