MIR. CLEyELAND's MESSAGE.
All Finished Except Some Finishing
Touches on Cuban Question

Washington Dec. 1-As there will be
only one more regular meeting Of the
cabinet before the assembling Of Con-
gress all the members were present at to-
days meeting 10 discuss those portions
Of the forthcoming message Of the Pres
dent that relate to the business Of their
respective departments. With one ex-
ceptiOn the message is practically com
piete and awaiting only n few finishing
touches This exception is most impor-
tant for 1t concerns the treatment Of the
Cuban question. In the natural order OF
things this subject coming under the
head Of foreign relations would occupy
most prominent place i'm the very be
ginning Of the message and SO might be
expected to receive early treatment at
the hands OF the President. There is
still a gap in that part Of the message,
however, Notwithstanding several efforts
have been made to close 1t up, for the
varying phrases Of the campaign now
in progress in Cuba have made it neces-
sary TO change considerably the views the
President and Secretary OlBey desire
to lay before Congress in that direction
and probably it will not be under the end
Of this week and the very last moment
that the missing paragraphs viii be sup
piled. OF course any expression Of opin-
ion as to the nature Of the Presidents
views respecting Cuba are only specula-
tive at present, but so far there can be
no warrant for the assumption that he
has determined upon any decided change
in the policy to be pursued by the adj
ministratiOn in this matter.

A NEW GOD SET UP.

Berlin, Dec An incident occurred in
the Reichstag during to-day's debate with
reference to a criticism by one of the
members to the effect that the sailors Of
tbe German gunboat Itlis ought to have
prayed to God instead Of cheering the
Kaiser as the vessel went down. In reply
to this, Vice-Admiral Holman, Secretary
of the navy, said that when the sailors
had the Emperor before their eyes, they
had their God before their eyes, and they
thought of the authority which God had
set over them.
These remarks met with cynical cheer
ing from the radicals and Socialists.

A THINK FROM SENATOR HALE.

Washington, Dec 1-Senator Hale to-
day expressed the opinion that Congress
would take up, and he hoped, pass the
Dingley bill at the session to begin next
Monday I'VE ought to pass il. said he,
for the treasury reports show the great
need of more revenue. While / would
not attempt to speak for all of them,
I am satisfied that some Of the silver
Republicans viii give their assistance to
the passage of the bill, and l cannot be
lieve that the Democrats would put any
unusual distinctions in the way of the
success of the measure. Furthermore.
l am quite persuaded that Mr.. Cleveland
would not veto the bill if it should be
presented to him"

metalIism

mechanism.
Boston, Mass, Aug. 25.-Mark
Hanna reached Boston from Beverly
Farms this morning and spent the
day in conference with various poll.
ticians. In an interview he said:
Mckinley was nominated because
he is protectionist. To read the
Eastern press, one would suppose
that the issue of this campaign is
wholly one on gold and silver. Now,
the fact is that the great majority OF
Republicans are bimetallists.
Taking the farmers of the West.
You cannot find a more intelligent
class of people on the face of the
earth, and they are, almost to man,
bimetallists. Instead of the Demo
Gratis getting all the credit in the
West as the friends of silver, we
shall show the people that the Repub-
!iean party nnaar proper ssafsgua;ds
and restraints, has no hospitality to
silver. There is no doubt in M
mind that the tendency of contem-
poraneous opinion is in favor of BIZ
metallism.
"Mr. Gladstone cannot live forever,
and other men like him, who have op.
posed bimetallism, will not control
English opinion. There are Direc-
tors of the Bank of England who are
bimetallists, and the Finance Minister
of France is bimetallist. The ten
dency of scientific thought is in that
direction.
"The increased production of gold
will decrease its value, and the dis.
parity between it and silver, in the
next five or ten years, will not be as
great as it is now"
Mr.. Hanna warned his advisers, as
he did in New York few days ago
that they were over-confdent, and
did not near appreciate the strength
of the silver movement in the West.
