r.sbincton. Dec. s.-Views of
~ber of senators and representa-
s~,, on the presidents message were
.nrbt this morning by a representa-
y" 81 the United Associated Presses,
" although they were generally
la,v in their comments several were
rnrd who willingly expressed their
snions of the message. Speaker
r.,1 said; 1T seems hardly necessary
:" ,omment upon the message. 1t is
..nh tone and on khe Cuban ques-
.,r will be much more satisfactory to
4, community than it would have
Ian q wear ago. as much sounder ideas
.,.roil than prevailed then. l wish
tbsre had been as frank an acknowl-
sicement of the deficit a year ago as
,bsre is now. The idea that the revenue
: sufficient, being made SO by borrow
mo seems to me hardly tenable."
Cen Grosyencr, rep, Ohio: 1.-The
treatment of the Cuban and other for
sicn matters will not be satisfactory to
those who nave SO earnestly hoped for
he early action of our country in the
interests of and early cessation OF
vbolesale murder in the unhappy
Island Of Cuba. The reference to the
tariff is far from satisfactory. The
claim that price of commodities has
ken reduced in the interests of the
npOGeb unimpOrtaut when we realize
hstaeness by force has placed even
cheap goods beyond the reach of so
vast body OF our people" Francis
G. Newlands. siiverite, Nevada, said
that the remedy for financial ills pro-
posed by the president, namely, the re-
trement of the greenbacks and the
substitution of national bank notes,
would not give the needed relief.
Mr. McCreary, dem, KY, said: Il am
pleased with the presidents reference

lifetime had come when the United
SlIeS should interfere in the strug-

fs-"Nhat the president says of the
