THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
THE CHIEF FEAruREs OF IT coMpLEr ED.
Special Dispateh to 11x Chicago Tribune.
WAsH1SoroN, D. G., Nov. 27.-The Prest-
dent Is making rapid progress with Ills naes-
sage, the Chief features IT which have been
completed. 1t is reported that he has tele-
graphed TO William Henry Smith to ot,ule
here and make arrangements for the distri-
button Of the message through the Associated
Press, aud that Mr. Smith will arrive hers
tomorrow. 1t has not yet been determined
whether the message shall be printed or
whether It shall be mauifolded and fur
nished to Congress and the press in
that form. AS nothing OF special mo-
ment has happened during the year, and
as it Is we'll understood thai the State
paper will possess Interest only In that 1t Is
Mr. Hnyes' political valedictory, it is difficult
to see why It is necessaryt0 to send to Chicago
to secure a sentinel to stand guard over it.
A considerable portion Of the message Is to
be devoted to
4 REVIEW or THE ADMINISTRATION,
particularly to the Southern policy. Some
Of the stalwarts believe that the President
will not hesitate to indicate the point where
in the Southern leaders have been guilty Of
bad taith. Attention will be called to the
fact that the couutrI has again es-
capped the ravages OF the yellow-fever,
and the work OF the National Board Of Health
will be approved. Notwithstanding the crit
icisn.s upon the Board. the President consld-
ers that 1t has been very effective agency in
the prevention OF diseases. At the same
time the President will recommend that
means be taken to place tbs National Board
Ut Health or SOME similar agency on 4 per-
manent basis. Recommendations will be
nude that the United States Murshals, from
whom payment has been withheld for some
years, shall be paid fur services which they
have legally rendered, and there are some In
dlcations that sufficient number Of Demo-
Gratis
WILL SUPPORT SUCH 4 POLICY
to pass the appropriatisn. On the subject Of
finances, the message will show that the
President has not changed his views. As to
the fisheries, the President will be able to
report indications of a change III the attitude
Of the British Government on this subject
consequent upon the change in the British
Cabinet, as Lord Granville Is not disposed to
make the Treaty of Washington and the pow
ers Of the British Empire subordinate to the
police regulations of the fishing VII
lnges on the Newfoundland coast.
The President will probably an
nounce the successful negotiation Of
treaty with the Chinese Empire, and will
state that the text OF 1t viii probably be SUBJ
nIttted to the Senate som after the holidays.
Trascott, the Ambassador, can hardly reach
San Francisco before Jan. l. The pxopriety
Of making
A NEW COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH SPAIN
will be referred to. AID attention will be
called to the great necessity Ut improving
commercial relations with the Spanish West
India Islands. The portion Of the message
devoted to Mexico will t1eat Of the proposed
commercial relations With that country,
and Of the railroad enterprises now
States and the City Of Mexico, and
will strongly recommend them.
The President will tndo1te the position taken
In the Secretary OF the Treasury's report
relative to the proper means to be taken to
redeem the obligations OF the United States
which will fall due next. year, and will urge
A4o AoIe$dIty VI aAo passa8c VI
4 FUNDING LAW.
Among the minor recommendations will be
one that Congress provide sufficient money
to insure the complete publication OF the rec
ords Of the Rebellion. A much larger sum
has been found necessary for that purpose
than was at first anticipated. Attention
will be called to the necessity OF
such legislation respecting the United
States Supreme Court as will relieve the
Court and prevent the delay OF justice and
the possibIn oppression of sultors. The
President still adheres to- the belief that the
creation OF additional Circuit Judges would
afford complete remedy. The President
agrees with the Secretaryof Of t1i1 Interior in
the belief shat mounted Indian auxtlllaries to
be put under the control Of the army would
be OF great service as means OF "
KEEPING TILE INDIANS bS THEIR REsERvA-
,TlONS
and Of preserving the peace The Admints-
tration will claim much credit for its snc-
cess In the education Of Indian youth at the
Hampton Normal Institute In Virginia and
In Carlisle Barricks. Pennsylvania There
will BIZ an earnest recommendation that Con-
gress pass bill for protection OF timber
upon the public domain. The President will

of local and National health. 1t has been the
desire Ut the President that the improvement
of the river-front should be one OF the move
ments Of his Administration. He will urge
Congress 20 make tnfticent appropriation to
permenently guard against the danger to the
public health incident to the, present condi-
ton Of the river-froat He considers it
OF VITAL IMPORTANCE

mendntion on the tariff subject, ii any are to
