Presideut Artbuf's Annual Mes
sage.

The President has commenced his an
nual message to Congress, and, among
other thing J, has called upon thsBureau
of Statistics for advance information as
to the duties received during the last
fiscal year from certain articles. From
this it is to be iDferred that he contem-
plates making some recommendation
with regard to the tariff. But 1t Is
known that the statements and recon-
menda'ions Of the CommlssiCner ol
Pensions with respect to the dehcits
which already exist in the matter OF
the ayment of the arrears of pensions
and the vast additional number of mil
lions necessary to be appropriated if the
arrears Of pcusion law is o be carried
out, have dismayed the PRESIDENT, az IL
ia v,rv evident that unless there is some
check on pension disbursements the
surplus revenues Of the government
much as they are, will be entirely mort
gagged for some years.
