SPECIE RESUMPTION.
The Presidents Message on the Subject
Written.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The Cabinet was in
session today more than two hours. The prin.
cipal feature of today's session was the sub
mission by the President of his contemplated
message to Congress on spec resumption at
an earlier date than that fixed by law. 1t is
YET Uncertain when the message will be sent to
Congress, but the indications are that it will
only be day or two. After the other mem
6ers OF the Cabinet left the court room Gen.
Taft and Secretary Fish remained for some
time 10 close consultation with the President-
The specie resumption message was Completed
yesterday, the President devoting greater Dor
ton of the day to its preparation.
Congress MOI Likely to Change the Date.
Should the President, as anticipated, trans
NIT message to Congress on finances and
recommend an earlier day for the Iesum ption
of specie paym ents than that now provided by
law, it ia believed among such members of Con-
eress as have financial matters in charge that
any alterations whatever as to time to be made
either from an indisposition TO disturb the law
or for want of time to act in measure of SO
much Importance, will not be made.
