NEW YORK, November 27.-A Herald
Washington special says the Presidents
anpual message will be somewhat, per-
haps one-fifth, longer than last year.
The President states he has no objec-
ton to saying the message would not
show a change Of policy on his part
He was not certain that he would re-
commend to Congress the extension OF
amnesty. He saw no more necessity
for making a declaration OF a more
friendly policy towards the South than
for such declaration towards the North.
OF civil service reform, the President
said, while competent examinations
were desirable, be would not think 1t
right that office should be given to en-.
emies OF the Administration to the
exclusion OF its friends. He was now
engaged examining applications for
pardon. He intended pardOning COL
onel Bowman, who, about eighteen
months ago, was convicted OF embezz e.
ment while he was an officer in the Bal
| tlmore Custom House.
