PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
The Cabinet Devoted Yesterdays Meeting
to it's Discussion.

to it's Discussion.
Washington, Dec. 1.-As there will he
only one more regular meeting of the
Cabinet before the assembling OF the Con-
gress all the members were present at to-
days meeting to discuss those portions of
the forthcoming message of the President
that relate to the business of their respec-
tive departments With one exception
the message is practically complete and
awaiting only Il few finishing touches.
This exception is most important, for it
concerns the treatment OF the Cuban QueS-
ton. In the natural order of things this
subject coming under the head of foreign
relations would occupy most prominent
place in the very beginning of the mes
sage and so might he expected to receive
early treatment at the hands of the Pres
idcnt. There is still gap in that part of
the message, notwithstanding several
efforts have been made to close it up, for
the varying phases of the campaign now
in progress in Cuba have made it neces-
sary to change considerably the views of
the President and Secretary Olney desire
to lay before Congress in that connection
and probably it will not be until the end
of this week and at the very last moment
that the missing paragraphs will be sup
piled. OF course, any expression of opin-
ion rs TO the nature of the Presidents
views respecting Cuba are only specula-
tive ut present, but so far there can be
found no warrant for the assumption that
he has determined upon any decided
change in the policy to be pursued by the
administration in this matter
''For five weeks lived on cold water,
so to speak," writes man who suffered
terribly from indigestion.
He could hardly keep anything on his
stomach. What stayed, wasn't properly
digested and gave him terrible pangs.
This is not i'm uncommon case. Dys-
peptics don't get enough nourishment
They are generally thin and weak.
They may eat enough, but they don't
digest enough. Much Of what they eat
turns into poison. If this keeps on there
is no telling what disease they may get
next.
That's why it is best to take Shakers
Digestive Cordial, as soon as symptoms
of indigestion appear.
1t cures all the evils of indigestion.
and prevents the evils which indigestion
causes.

The Plan Understood to Include
United Action of ALI

CoNsTANrINoPLE, via Sofia, Bull
garia,) Sept. l6.-The ambassadors of
the powers had a meeting in order to
lay out a plan for measures for the pro-
lection of the different embassies and
the foreign population generally in the
event Of a renewal of disturbances here.
The plan is understood to include the
united action of the warships of all the
powers, each ship being assigned q Ger.
tain position, and men to be landed ut
given signals to protect the threatened
points. The defenses Of the embassies
will also, it is rumored, be considerably
strengthened by the increase in the
number of men now guarding them,
and by other precautions, which will
tend to make them capable Of resisting
attack for a considerable time. 1t is
also reported that in possible contin-
gencies a number of additional warships
of the powers will reinforce the guard
ships now doing duty i'll these waters.

which ought to be good evidence Of the
constitutionality and wisdom OF the reso.

as restoring silver to its legitimate func-
