PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Document Ready for Congress, Contains
10000 Words.

Washington, Dec. president Nc
Kinley's third annual message to con-
gress is now practically complete. 1t
is the longest message ever sent to con-
gress by President Mckinley, compris-
ing more than 10000 words.
The most important features of the
message relate to the new dependen-
denotes The essential features on
these topics were thus outlined today
by a member of the cabinet:
Sovereignty is to be established
throughout the Philippine islands and
to be permanently maintained. Civil
! government is to be extended through
out the islands as rapidly as possible on
| lines somewhat similar to the arrange
ment effected for the government of
| the island of Negros. Attention is in
vited to the report of the PHILIPPINE
commission as to why it is impossible
for the United States to part with the
| islands and as to the great commercial
advantages in holding them.
Civil government in Cuba under mill
tary control is recommended unit
some substantial progress has beer
made through the medium of suffering
toward the establishment of an indie
dependent form of government.
Attention is called to the fact tina
the census has not been completed, an
as the Spaniards have, under the trea
ty, until April next to decide whethe
they will become citizens of the island
it will not be possible until that tim
to hold general elections to determin
upon the future government of tn
island. The question of the annext
ton is, therefore, left open. Grea
stress is laid upon the improvement
the island during the year, not onl
commercially and agriculturally, b'
also in the sanitary condition of IL
| cities and towns

Faith" and works" are not two
separate things, but two phases or as
poets OF the same thing. Faith is the
inner spirit that links a soul with
Christ. and thus secures to the soul
power to do for God and man. Works
are the manifestation of that linking,
evidencing to man and to God that the
current Of power is complete. Faith
is the fire, works are the heat which
the fire gives out. Fire without heat
Is dead; it may look as if it were warm,
but it is only a show, like colored tinsel
in a summer CRATE. There is such dead
| fire as this, and such dead faith. Let
| the show not deceive us.

British Boer Battle at Modder River so
characterized

London, Dec. 1.-The expected great
battle of Modder river has been fought
and General Methuen has added anoth-
err victory to his achievements OF the
past week There appears 10 be no
doubt that General Methuen has gained
a real advantage though the details
must be awaited before the full effect
Of his ten hours desperate fighting
Fan be gagged.
Presumably the burghers' army was
on the south bank of the -:Ier, but
whether when the Beers retreated
they crossed the river northware, or
retired in an easterly direction into
the Orange Free State. is unknown.
Possibly the Beers had repaired the
bridge previously reported destroyed,
and managed TO withstand the British
attack with their rear guard while
their main body escaped over the
| bridge, the rear guard destroying the
bridge behind it. The British, how
ever, appear TO have surmounted the
difficulties of crossing the river, and
to have seized for themselves a posi-
| ton on the north side of the stream.
This success of the British clears an
other stage of the road to Kimberley,
the siege of which General Cronje
must have partially raised in order tc
give battle to General Methuen.
The Burghers are understood tc
have a strong lager at Syptfontein
fourteen miles north of the Moddel
river, so another engagement possibly
awaits the British before they ear
commence the last stage of the clever
miles from Spytfontein to Kimberley
though it is pointed out that Genera
Cronje will thereby run a great risk o
being caught between General Methuei
and Colonel Kekewich, the British
commander at Kimberley.
A belated dispatch from 0rang
river says General Methuen's troop
are advancing under the creates
difficulties, fighting an omnipresent
but almost invisible foe. A specia
dispatch from Windsor says Genera

ROBERTS CASE.
VIII be Asked to stand Aside While an
Investigation L. Made.

investigation IL Made.
Washington, Dec AT a confer
ence of leading Republican members
held last night it was decided
to object to the swearing in of Con-
gressman-elect Roberts of Utah, pend
ing an investigation of the charges
against him that he is living in polyg-
amy. Mr.. Taylor OF Ohio, who will
have charge of the matter in the house,
says the precedents for objecting to
the swearing in of a member duly
elected and bearing proper credentials
are numerous and in point. Among
others are the well-known cases of
Proctor Knott, Boyd Winchester and
John NJ. Rice of Kentucky, who were
elected to congress shortly after the
war and also were charged with in
eligibility on the ground of disloyalty.
All these precedepts were cited at the
conference.
THESE presidents lead to the conclu-
sion that objection can be properly
made to the swearing in of a member
where there are apparently we'll
grounded reasons for believing him in
eligible. The resolutions will pro-
vide for the appointment of a special
committee Of either seven or nine, to
be appointed By the speaker.
Representative Powers of Vermont
presided at the conference. Those
present were Messrs. Henderson OF
Iowa, Grosvenor, Southar, Shattuc,
Kerr and Taylor of Ohio, Powers Of

Gridley, son OF the late Charles V.
Gridley, who commanded Admiral
Dewey's flagship at the battle of Man

Young Gridley is too old to enter

him in the navy lay in an appointment
to the marine corps, but he lacked the
necessary education, and worse than
all the money for study, The boy was
too modest to tell any one of his situa-
| ton, but Admiral Dewey, who loved
his father, suspected it, and decided
to act. He determined to pay the boy s
expenses while studying for the lieu.

He met young Gridley at the White
House and presented him to the presi-

plain the situation when the presi.

/, Admiral, will pay his expenses in
preparation for examination. If he
fails in the first examination | will
give him another chance; but | am
sure he will be ready when the time
