The forthcoming message of President
Hayes was considered In cabinet meeting,

that Recommendations should be confined to

Of radical changes In existing laws, it being
considered expressly desirable at this time to
provoke as little conflict In Congress and as
little disturbance of business interests as pos.
sible. The Presidents message is now In the
course Of preparation. 1t will be shorter than
usual and contains very few recommendations
other than those comprised in the reports Of
his cabinet officers. 1t is believed that the

derstood that especial attention will be direct.
