Washiugtou Matsers--Thc Message,

From the Chicago Democratic PTesS OF
Monday, We take the summary of 80 much Of
the Presidents Message as has been conmu-
nicated to the Senate, and the other items of
news which will be found below. The late
ness of the hour at which we received the syn
opsis. renders it impossible for US to read II
before putting it to press. The Press says ;
The President, unable to wait any longer,
has communicated his views to the Senate up
on several topics Of national concern. We
are glad TO see that he is III favor of protect
ing the people of Kansas from the intrusion
Of outsiders. But why has he not acted III
the matter before? He had the power months
ago TO repress the mob violence that reigned
there, without waiting for Congress to con-
yene. Why did he not exerciseit
That portion of our report of the presi-
dents message which relates to our Difficult
ties with Great Britain IL SO jumbled rs to he
almost unintelhglble.
