an action begun by Frank Shinn in the

or enforce any law which shall abridge
the privileges or immunities of citizens
of the United States, nor shall any
state deprive any person of life, liberty
or property without due process of law,
nor deny to any person within its jur.
isdiction the equal protection of the
law"

Senator G. X. Davis, chairman Of the

concerning the insurgents only, and if
they want autonomy there is nothing

DROPS DETAILS
Stated That the Presidents Mes.
sage Will Not Follow
Precedent,
In That 1t Will Only Deal With
Important Questions Of
the Hour,
Department Details Being Left
to the Reports of Cabinet
Officers.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Y.-The message
Of President Mckinley will be devoted
practically to the subjects of our for.
eign relations and the currency prob.
lem. It will be unique in the respect
that it will ignore the great bulk Of
matters usually constituting the depart
mental portions of the presidents an.
nual message. There is scarcely q ref.
erence to the subject matter Of the an.
,nual reports of the cabinet, the presi.
dents purpose being to call attention
only to the more important affairs of
the government. For this reason the
postal savings project of the postmaster
general is not discussed in the message.
While the details of the currency
plank are not definitely known, it can
be authoritatively stated that it is in
the main an incorporation of the views
submitted by Secretary Gage, though
as to details the president leaves him.
self freedom of action by not taking
any position with reference to several
features of the secretary's plan while
endorsing its main object.
Hawaii and Cuba.
A strong presentation OF the Hawaiian
question is made and congress is urged
to take immediate action by ratification
of the treaty Of annexation. This part
of the message strongly depicts the
necessity for making the island part of
the domain of the United States and re.
views advantages that would accrue
to the country by its possession. As to
Cuba the message calls attention to the
recent trend of4affairs on the island, re.
fers to the scheme of autonomy just
offered by Spain and, after reciting
other developments in the situation,
reaches the virtual conclusion that exist
ing circumstances do not warrant inter.
ference in the affairs Of the island.
Considerable attention is paid to the
question Of reciprocity negotiations
with various countries in Europe.
Special Commissioners Kasson has been
working on this subject for some time
and the message deals with some of the
developments Of negotiations already
had and expresses the hope of the ad.
minstratiOn to secure satisfactory
results in the future.
The policy Of the administration on
this subject is outlined and, citing
French champagnes as an illustration,
the point is made that il special conces.
sions are given any foreign products
the United States must be given equal
treatment by reciprocal concessions.
The Alaskan problem is discussed at
some length and plea is made for con.
gressional legislation, including the ex.
tension of the operation Of the public
land laws, and the granting Of rights Of
way for roads by which all parts Of
the country may be made more accessi.
