the aim of the investigation which has been
partments this year ask for over a million
more dollars than was appropriated at the
last session. We have begun the work and
expect to carry it most thoroughly. We
have already found that in the state depart

while in the record and pension Office of the
war department two chiefs of division direct
the operations OF 500 or 600 clerks. If such
a thing is possible in the record and pension
office, what is the necessity OF such a num-
Der of chiefs in the state department? In
of divisions in many cases simply to give
them an increase OF $500 or $500 year In
salary. This system has been continued and
the time has come for change.
The Dingley law has not been in opera
tion long enough to produce the revenues that
its friends believe it will produce in the
future. If economiZe to the extent
of several millions of dollars In departmental
work we should do it, for we have not the
money in the treasury now to stand extrava-
CANT appropriations But economy is not only
to be applied to the departments. 1t is to be
the watchword all through this session OF con-

Enough money will be given to carry on all
contracts now in operation, but new improve

TIME FOR SAGASTA.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-President
Mckinley today sent his annual mes
sage to congress. He congratulated it
upon assembling under felicitous con-
dft1ons. Peace and goodwill with all
the nations of the earth continue un-
broken, he says, and we should feel
genuine satisfaction at the growing
spirit Of fraternal regard and unifica-
tion in all sections of our country and
the lifting of great public questions
above party prejudice. The leading por-
tions of the message are devoted to
the currency question and to the rela-
tions with Spain as a result of the in
surrection in Cuba. The most important
financial recommendation is that when
greenbacks are presented for redemp-
ton in gold they be held apart and
paid out only when gold is received for
them. The recommendations of Secre-
tary Gage that national banks be al
lowed to issue notes to the full par
value of the bonds deposited, that the
tax on such notes be reduced to p per
cent, and that the minimum capital
for a national bank be reduced to $25,-
600 are ali approved. In the event of
such legislation it is urged that ma

their notes in gold.
The essential feature of that portion
of the message devoted to Cuba is that
Spain is making an apparently fair and
honest effort to satisfy the demands of
the Cubans, by reforms both in govern
ment and in the method of carrying
on the war, and that time should be
given to test these new plans. The
president does not regard the present
conditions such as to warrant recog-
milton of belligerency.
International bimetallism is touched
upon, and it is stated that there is still
some hope of an agreement. Interna-
tional arbitration and Hawaiian annex
alton are called to the attention of con-
gress in general terms; legislation for
Alaska and for the Indians of the five
civilized tribes is asked and the Pa
cific roads matter is briefly touched
upon. The full text of the message is
as follows:

TEXT OF MESSAGE.

To the Senate and House of Representatives:
1t gives me great pleasure to extend greet
ing to the fifty congress assembled at
the seat of government, with many of whose
senators and representatives 1 have been
associated in the legislative service. Their
meeting occurs under felcitous conditions,
justifying sincere congratulation and calling
fcent Providence which has so signally
blessed and prospered us as nation. Peace
and good Will with all the nations OF the
earth continue unbroken.
A matter OF genuine satisfaction Is the
growing feeling of fraternal regard and uni
fcaton Of all sections of our country. the
incompletenesS of which has too long delayed
realization of the highest blessings of the
Union. The spirit of patriotism is universal
and is ever increasing in fervor. The public
questions which now most engross US are
lifted far above either partsanship, prejudice
or former sectional differences. They affect
every part of our common country alike, and
permit of no division on ancient lines. Ques-
tions of foreign polcy,of revenue, the sound
ness of the currency, the inviolability of ma
tional obligations, the Improvement of the
public service appeal to the individual con-
science of every earnest citizen to whatever
party he belongs, or in whatever section of
the country he may reside
The extra session of this congress, which
closed during July last enacted important
legislation and while its full effect has not
yet been realized, what it has already accom-
plished assures us of its timeliness and wis
dom. To test its value further time will be
required and the people, satisfied with its
operation and results thus far, are in no
mind to withhold from it fair trial.
Tariff legislation having been settled by
the extra session of congress, the question
next pressing for consideration is that of the
currency.

II THE
- DEFICIT.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. Dec, 6.-Gen. Bing-
ham, of Pennsylvania, is chairman
of the subcommittee in charge of
ial appropriation bill. He has
great task Laid out for him. 1t is moth
ing less than a report of thorough
reorganization of all departmental
work. 1t is all to be done for the sake
of economy and his report is to be
presented to congress as early this
week as possible.
The present estimates of the various
departments called for over a million
more dollars than was given last year
The administration has determined to
economic and when this amount was
brought to the notice of the president
he called for an explanation. None
being forthcoming he determined on an
investigation, and when Congressman
Cannon, of Illinois, chairman of the full
committee on appropriations, reacneu
the city, he received an urgent invita-
ton to visit the White house. AS
result of his visit word was passed
along that all appropriations would
have to be cut to the bone, and Gen.
Bingham was directed to thoroughly
investigate the operations of the de-
partments. He began his 1nVeStlga-
ton today.
The chief of each division IN every
department in the city has been noti-
fled to appear before Gen. Bingham
and his subcommittee Each chief is
required to bring with him the name
of each clerk who is under his d1rec-
ton, his salary, and the work done.
Chiefs will further be expected TO IN
form the committee whether the work
of division could be done by less
number of clerks and at less expense.
The investigation is the most far reach
ing in the history of the government,
and the administration expects that a
saving of many millions of dollars will
be the result if the recommendations,
which the subcommittee will make, are
acted On favorably by congress.
Gen. Bingham is deeply interested In

QUESTION OF CURRENCY.

The work of putting our finances upon a
sound basis, difficult as it may seem, will
appear easier when we recall the financial
operations of the government since 1866. On
the Both day of June, of that year we had
outstanding demand liabilities in the sum OF
S72S SOS, ,447.41. On the first of January, 1873,
these liabilities had been reduced to Si43,-
8S9, ,495SS OF our interest bearing obliga-
tions, the figures are even more striking. On
July l. 1866. the principal of the interest bear
ing debt of the government was 81, ,S32, ,331 20S.
On the first day of July, 1898, this sum had
been reduced to S585. .037 100, an aggregate
reduction of $1,747, ,294, 10S The interest bear
ing debt of the United States on the first day
of December 1897, was sS47, ,365, $40. The gov
ernment money now outstanding (Dec. -
consits OF sS46, 6S1, Ole of United States notes,
$107 793, $50 of treasury notes issued by au-
thority of the law of 1890, 1884 963, ,o0S of sill
yer certificates, and SCI, ,230, 761 of standard
silver dollars.
With the great resources of the government
and with the honorable example of the past
before us, we ought not to hesitate to enter
upon a currency revision which will make
our demand obligations less onerous to the
government and relieve our financial laws
from ambiguity and doubt. The brief review
of what was accomplished from the close of
the war to 1893 makes unreasonable and
groundless any distrust either of our inan-
cial ability or soundness; while the situation

near Nourishment was given her about
noon. 1t was soon after this that she
manifested signs of returning con-
sciousness. The first nourishment re-
ceived for several days had a telling
effect and she at once rallied. There
is again strong hope that she may re-
cover sufficiently to survive until the
president reaches her bedside tomor-
row morning and perhaps to recognize
him. 1t is not thought, however, that
she will ever regain complete conscious
ness.
When the attending physician left
Mrs Mckinley this evening it was with
feeling that she will survive the
night and possibly longer. She has
taken no nourishment since early in
the afternoon and was not in quite as
good condition as when she seemed to
recognize those about her. But She
sustained little net loss of strength dur
ing the day and was reposing in a
quiet and seemingly natural condition.
During nearly the entire night the
family remained in the sick room, eX-
pecting every moment to be the last
one. The patient had a number Of the
sinking spells such as occurred during
Sunday, and each one or them, as II
approached was feared to be the last
one. AS morning approached, however,
she quieted down materially, and hope
became stronger. AT an early hour
the president was advised that his
mother was still living, although con-
siderably weaker than she had been.
He was also informed that she was
resting easily, and gradually passing
away without any suffering.
The doctor called early and at 3
o'clock he announced that while the
patient was much weaker than at any
other visit, that she was resting
so quietly then that she might survive
for some little time.

TWO CRUISERS ARE
AT PORT AU PRINCE.
State Of Great Excitement.
Strong Force of Troops on
the Scene to Prevent Riot
ing and Disorder on Shore.

PORT AU PRINCE, Hayti, Dec. g.
The trouble between Germany and
Hayti, as result of the arrest and
Imprisonment of Herr Leuders, an
alleged German subject, reached a cri-
sis today. Two German cruisers enter
ed this port during the morning, and
an ultimatum from the German gov
ernment was delivered to the Haytian
government giving the latter eight
hours in which to grant the demands of
Germany for an indemnity to Herr
Leuders.
In anticipation of trouble, the citi-
zens of German nationality sought re-
fuge yesterday on board two steamers
which were at this port and the French
steamer Vile de Marseilles has been
requisitioned by the French minister In
order to serve as a place of refuge
for French citizens. The Vile de Mar
seilles has arrived here direct from
Porto Rico The population of this
place is in state of great excitement,
but the Haytian government has strong
forces of troops at it's disposal and is
resolved to maintain order.
The population of the city late this
afternoon, when this cablegram is sent,
appears calm and the present indica-
tionS seem to confirm the Supposition
that the government will accept the
conditions imposed by Germany so far
as money indemnity is concerned, and
it is also probable that, yielding to SUI
perior force and in order to avoid in
ternal troubles the government Will
accept the other conditions.
BERLIN, Dec. 6.-Baron Won Bulow,
| the minister for foreign affairs, said
referring to Hayti: I'VE are not satis-
fed with the mere release of Herr Leu
ders and have demanded satisfaction
and compensation for his Illegal incar-
! ceration which was contrary to Hay
tian and international laws. We hope
! the government of Hayti will accept
our legitimate and moderate demands,
| as in addition to the justice of our
claim we have the will and the power
! to enforce it,"
| KINGSTON, Jamaica, Dec 6.-Ad-
| vices received here today from Port au
| Prince shows that serious trouble is
! imminent in Hayti. Streets of the cap
ital are placardrd with Down with
the government" and the troops have
| been ordered into the barracks.
BERLIN, Dec. GA dispatch to the
Frankfort Zeftung from Washington
| today says the republic OF Hayti is
| ready to pay Germany the indemnity
demanded for the alleged illegal ar
rest of Herr Emil Lueders, a German
subject, who was subsequently releas-
| ed and enabled to return TO this cOun-
try by the intercession of the United
| States minister at Port au Prince, Will
| liam f. Powell, who secured Lueders'
| release from prison in order to avoid
trouble of a more serious nature which
appeared to be brewing on account Of
the alleged arbitrary behavior of the
German minister to Hayti, Count
| Schwerin.
WASHINGTON, Dec. $50 far as
can be learned, the state department
has received no advices from Hayti to-
| day. At the German legation the same
| reply was given to all inquiries.

AE 'KINLEY
v "a Is HURRYING
HOME.

CANTON, O., Dec. 6.-At 1890 o'clock
Mrs. Mckinley was exceedingly low.
She had just experienced one of the
sinking spells, during which life seems
to be almost extinct. There were mo-
ments when she did not seem to breath.
If she rallies from this spell she will
probably survive the night. Her pulse
was weak and uncertain, more so than
at any other time and her breathing
was difficult. The physician when he
last called reported that she had weak
ened perceptibly. He has not despair
ed that she will survive the night, but
he cannot feel confident of it. The
latest advice received from the presi
dent is that he will come in by regular
train, which will reach here at 1926 a.
m. A special may possibly be run
from Pittsburg.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-President
Mckinley left Washington at 7:2O
