dents previous messages. 1t cannot be learned
whether it will be sent to Congress on Monday

the reception of the notification by the Eresi-
dent of the fact.

members of Congress visited the Executive
| Mansion to-day, to see the President.
| Ex-Secretar of the Treasury Richardson
| called on Secretary Bristow to-day to pay his
| respects.
New YORK, Dec. "a Washington des
patch says in regard to the whiskey prosecu-
lions in ST. Louis, that there is the best reason
to believe that Secretary BristOw and the Presi-
dent are entirely in harmony and Brstow will
use every effort to bring all the guilty persons
to punishment
If Gen. Babcock should be indicted he will BIZ
tried at once. The President does not mean to
part with him unless he is found to have beer
guilty, but he does not mean in any way tc
shield him, and has so signifed to Secretary
Bristow.
The Cabinet considered the request of Gen
Babcock for court of inquiry. Those who
know thu result decline at present to make il
public. There is reason to believe that the re-
quest will be granted and detail of officers

value of VIM. B. Astor's estate as high as
$2O0,OO0,OOO. Its real value is less than one
quarter of that sum. The bulk of the property
consists of real estate in New York The rec
ords at the tax Office show that he paid taxes
this year on SIG, 200 worth of real estate in
that city. The market value of the property
is forty per cent. above the assessed valuation,
