MESSAGE FORECAST.
WHAT THE PRESIDENT WILL
SAY TO CONGRESS.
Topics Which tho Message Will Touch
Tpon-A Protracted Session of Con-
gress Almost n Certainty--Bilis which
VIII Come Up.

WASHINGTON. Dec. i.--Prcsident
Cleveland will cnlighten the country
on n good many things in his message
to-day. The financial situation Will
naturally claim attention from the
President. Now that the danger from
the silver purchases is stopped, he is
expected to recommend further legis-
lation for strengthening the public
credit. How squarely he will commit
himself to bonds Is a matter OF con-
lecture, vet he can hardly ignore
the S7o. OO0, 900 deficit for the current
wear: and the prediction is made that
he will lean to n short-timc loan NJ
low rate of interest, which should be
large enough to cover the deficit and
build up the gold reserve To Sl.j,OOO,-
900. Secretary Carlisle will go into
these matters fully in his report,
which will be sent To congress Wednes-
day. but suggestions from the secre-
tarv OF the treasury do not receive the
same weight that are given 10 recon-
mendations from the President.
Mr., Cleveland's policy in foreign
affairs may be disclosed in his message.
lie will certainly have some INTEREST,"
ing information to give. There Is the
new treaty with China, which IS sald
To contain possibilities of extending
American trade in the Orient.
Then there is Brazil. which Is stlli
torn by civil war, and which
looks to the nited states to keep
down the revival of mOnarchieal IN
fiuencc on the American continent.
BESIDES which the little Central Ameri-
can states are quarreling again after
the good offices Of this country mad
once restored peaceful relations
Finally there is the Hawaiian ques
ton.
The reports Of the various depart
mcnts, except the treasury, have
already been published, and the l'resi
dents message will contain little con
corning them that is not already
known. The most important depart
ment recommendation will be his IN
dorse uent of Secretary Herbert
policy of continuing to build up th'
new navy.

BILLS BEFORE CONGRESS.
Measures Likely to he Given Immediate
Consideration.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 4.---Thc session
which begins to-day will be one of tho
most active and probably the most eX-
citing which has been held for many
wears. The measures which are pend
ing for immediate consideration in the
two houses are not numerous, but
they will necessarily accumulate very
rapidly as soon as the work of the
session begins. The woqucstions be-
fore the senate standing in the order
named are the proposition to increase
the national bank circulation and the
house hill repeating the federal cleo
ton laws. 1t is expected that the lat
ter will bc first taken up unless it is
made evident that the taking up Of
this bill will block other legislation
indefinitely. Its consideration may.
as matter of policy, be delayed, but
democrats admit of no doubt of its
early passage.
The appropriations committee of the
house will have one or two bills ready
to report during the first week. Nearly
every appropriation bill reported will
show u very heavy cut. Mr.. Springer
expects to be able to report general
financial bill which he has been work.
ing on very soon after congress meets;
and bill to repeal the state bank tax
will also be reported early from his
committee.
The bankruptcy bill and naturaliza-
| ton bill were under consideration by
! the house when the extra session came
to a close, and will be the regular
order, the bankruptcy bill coming
first,-aidvocates of that bill now OK
pectitwill pass the house before the
| tariff discussion comes up. This, how
ever, is by no means certain. as very
hard fight is going to be mad,
| against il. The naturalization bill
| which comes next in order, wsll proba
bly, be crowded out by the tariff bill
and 90 over until the Wileon bill has
passed The purpose of the ways aut

The pension question is expected
sooner or later to cause long discus

the democratic managers in congress
