During the proceedings Of the House today,
Representative Stevens sought to adjourn, and
when he was reminded that the Presidents mes
sage was shortly expected he suggested that it be
read from local newspaper extra, copies Of which
had been distributed even before the Presidents
Private Secretary had reached the Capitol and
when the official message Yves itself communicated
Mr.. Stevens unsuccessfuly endeavored to have it's
reading postponed until tomorrow. It was not
until fifteen minutes Of two O'Clock that the docu
ment was transmitted, previous to which time
kilograms received here that copious extracts
from it and the message itself were circulated in
several cities.
It is proper to state in this connection tiiat adj
vance copies of the Presidents message and ac-
companying documents were sent hence to the
principal cities by the Washington agent OF the
New York Associated Press, and that the seals
were not to be broken until full official authority
was given to do so, and this was at an hour when
there could be no premature disclosure Of their
contents, against which the most solemn honor
was pledged nor is it known that any Of the agents
disregarded the obligations imposed.
When the Clerk Of the House began to read the
message copies in pamphlet form were supplied to
tributing messengers for their supply.
