WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s.-President
McKinley's message which will be
transmitted to congress next Monday
is almost ready for the printers. Por-
tions Of it were read at the cabinet
meeting last Friday, and 1t is probable
that the entire document will be SUBJ
mitted to the members Of the cabinet
at the meeting to be held next Friday.
The major part of the message is de-
voted to q discussion of the Spanish
war and the policy adopted by the ad-
ministration in conducting negotiations
for peace. The final acceptance Of the
American terms by the Spanish COM
missioners will enable the president to
inform congress specifically what those
terms are. He will, in any event, take
the position that the price which this
government has agreed to pay for the
Philippine islands is a reasonable COM
pensation, and that it was better to
pay the amount than to break off nego-
tiationS.
1t is known that Mr. Mckinley is op-
posed to the idea of admitting Porto
Rico or the Philippines into the Union
as states at any time, and 1t is expect
ed that he will clearly state the
grounds for such opposition in his mes
sage. 1t Is believed that the president
will have very little to say concerning
the form of government to be adopted
in the colonies. He prefers that they
shall remain under military control for
an indefinite period, but it is by no
means certain that congress will con-
sent to leave the islands long under ar
bitrary power.
OPEN-DOOR POLICY.
1t is said in administration circles that
the message will contain lucid and
comprehensive explanation of the open
door policy which the president has
pledged this government to observe in
the foreign commerce of the Philip
pines. So long as his authority is SUI
preme In the premises Mr.. Mckinley
will levy the taxes prescribed in the
Dingley tariff on all products of the
Philippines, Porto Rico and Cuba
which are brought into the states. He
will also provide duties on the products
Of the states which go into colonial
markets.
Mr.. Mckinley will inform congress
that the administration intends to keep
faith with the Cubans by giving them
firm and stable government, accord
Ing to the promise made in the war res
olutions. The president will also have
good deal to say in his message con-
corning the necessity for canal across
Central America, connecting the two
oceans. He will urge that this canal be
constructed under government super
vision.
He will recommend that the navy be
strengthened and that the regular
army be increased to 100000 men. He
will also have something to say in IA
vor Of the upbuilding of a merchant ma
rine The currency question will re-
ceive some attention, but will not be
treated at length because Of the wide
difference of opinion between the two
branches on this issue.

CHICAGO, Nov. pa special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Charles G. Dawes, comptroller of the
currency, In his annual report to con-
gress. which became public property
through the mistake of a Philadelphia
paper, has arrived at conclusions. bas-
cd on official figures entirely, which
have fairly taken the breath away
from the currency reformers.
He pronouces squarely against all the
banking schemes submitted to con-
gress, including those OF the secretary
or the treasury, the Indianapolis con-
ference. and the McC1eary bill now
cefore the house, which was prepared
by the committee on banking and cur
rency at the last session. He says
without reservations:
The existing banknote system, based
upon deposit of government bonds as
security, should not now be abandon
ed"
He further declares that to protect
banks in time of panic, and to provide
the necessary elasticity, q small
amount of unsecured notes, in addition
to the secured circulation, might be
permitted, but that the tax on these
temporary notes should be 50 large as
TO force them into retirement as soon
as Uhe emergency passes. He says
tnat uncovered circulation should be
a remedy for an emergency, not an In
strument Of current business
1t Is generally admitted here, even
by the warmest friends of currency
reform, that the report of Comptroller,
Dawes viii result at least in a modifi-
cation OF almost all the various plans
previously submitted to congress, In
Guiding, of course, that of Secretary
Gage. The figures collected by the
comptroller show that If noteholders
are given a preference over depositors
the result will be inevitably to reduce
the security Of the latter class Of
creditors Of banks materially.
1t Is probable, therefore, that Secre-
tary Gage will recast his currency
plan In such a way as to meet the OBJ
1cctions presented by Comptroller
Dawes, by taking away from the note
holders their prior lien on the assets
OF failed banks. Chairman McCIeary,
OF the house committee on banking
and currency, In submitting the bill
which embodied most Of Secretary
Cages recommendations explained that
II was absolutely necessary to the
stability of the new currency that II
should have a first claim ON the assets
and that bankers would not take out
circulation, nor would the people ao-
cept 1t at par, in all probability, unless
IT had behind 1T something more than
the mere credit Of the bank. 1t is fear
ed, therefore, by some of the advocates
of currency reform that the inevitable
effect OF Mr. Dawes report will be to
upset all systems of circulation based
on uncovered assets, for If the notes
ere not preferred either the govern
ment OF the REDEMPTION fund would
have to make good the loss.

Walker said:
II have been informed that the Nor
mons elected Roberts as a test Of the
strength of the United States laws
against polygamy. His opponent was
Mormon, who had one wife. Roberts
has three, and does not scruple to ac-
knowledge it. If he shall get his seat
1t will be sanctioning not only vio-
lation of state laws, but of the United

PECULIAR POIS0NS.
IN THE HUMAN noDY.

The Result of Imperfect Digestion
of Food.
Every living thing, plant or animal,
contains within itself the germs Of cer-
tain decay and death.
In the human body these germs Of
disease and death (called by scientists
Ptomaines), are usually the result of
imperfect digestion Of food; the result
of indigestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach. from abuse, weakness,
does not promptly and thoroughly di-
gest the food The result is a heavy.
sodden mass which ferments (the first
Lrccess Of decay poisoning the blood,
making 1t thin, weak and lacking In
red corpuscleS; poisoning the brain
causing headaches and pain In the eyes.
Bad digestion irrftates the heart,
causing pa1pltatlon and finally blt1ging
on disease Of this very important orr
gan.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Brfght's disease and diabetes.
And this is so because every organ.
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal, and
weak digestion shows itself not only
In loss of appetite and flesh. but in
weak nerves and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley,
said the best start in life Is a sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail to di-
gest food properly, because they lack
the proper quantity of digestive acids
Qactic and hydrOchloric) and pepto-
genie products; the most sensible rem
edy In all cases Of indigestion, is to
take after each meal, one or two OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because
they supply In a pleasant harmless
form all the elements that weak stom-
achs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets will cure every form of
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach
They increase flesh, insure pure
blood, strong nerves, a bright eye and
clear complexion, because all these re.
suit only from wholesome food well
digested.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Nov. 29.-In
the Sanderson murder examination
Sheriff William Stone testified to the
particulars of the midnight disinter-
ment of the body of Rudolphus Sander
son, which occurred Oct. IL, under the
orders of Justice Lewis.
Lawyer Crosby again put Marie Rob
ertson under heavy cross-examination.
In which she testified that Onyx and
Jasper Adams, at whose instance Mrs.
Sanderson was arrested for murder
were anxious for a share of the prop,
erty. They said a part belonged to
them because their sister Ruth, Mrs.
Sanderson No. l, had put much money
into the property, which by rights be-
lonSed 10 them. They tried to stop the
marriage, without success.
This testimony was very satisfactory
to the defense, who maintain that the

merely the results of a desire for the
money. which otherwise would have
