ident's Message Tomorrow

Washington, Dec. 1-Senator Platt,
of Connecticut, member of the finance
committee of the senate, said tina
the subcommittee meeting tomorrow
would agree upon the terms of the fl
nancial bill to be presented to the
senate. Generally speaking" said
he, ''the senate. bill will be an agree
ment with the house bill and the two
houses will get together without any
trouble" Platt thinks the passage of
the financial bill in both houses is a
foregone conclusion.
Washington, Dec. L The cabinet
discussed briefly today the President S
message on which the finishing touch.
es had all been placed except that por.
tion relating to the Philippines. That
section is being held up in the hope
that the president may be able to
announce the complete collapse of
the insurrection. Members of the
cabinet are unanimously of the opin
ion that the rebellion is ON its last
legs. "The PHILIPPINE question is1sol
wing itself" is the way one of member

RUSHING s.. =.
FORWARD
Methuen Hurryine to the Relief
of Kimberly and
Mafekine.
SAMOAN PARTITION PLANS
Presidents, Message Ekpected
Tomorrow Fixing the
Financial Bill. $3.50.

London, Dec. While rumors of
the relief of Kimberly current Oh
stock exchange today may be prerna7
ture there seems to be no doubt that
pressure on the garrison has been
much lightened by Genera. Methuen's
successes and actual relief of the place
is likely to be a fact very soon. A
clue to urgent reasons which dictated
Methuen's hurried march may be
found in Governor Miners hint to
the relief committee at Cape Town to
be prepared for the reception of TO-
600 refugees, indicating that the gar
rison must have had reason to fear
the reduction OF Kimberly by starva-
tion and disease. The most recent
news from Kimberly comes by way of
Pretoria and almost seems to show
that I<imberly and Mafeking are act
ing in concert with General Methuen,
for at the time the battle was rag
ing at Gras Pan, both Col. Kekewich
and Colonel BadenPowell made sor
ties and assailed beleagners. Colonel
Kekewich inflicted considerable loss
on the Beers, two shells killing nine
and wounding seventeen in a group.
1t is reported that. Methuen has re
sumed his northwest course Wednes'
day in order to form a junction with
the Kimberly forces Saturday or
Sunday. It is suggested that the
Beers may be huriying to attack
General Methuens rear, but as rein
forcements have been pushed rapidly
from the Orange River and De Ar-.I
they 1t is thought, will circumvent |
such designs. AS far as known the
I.adysmith relief force is still at
Frere, though the bridge was perhaps
sufficiently stable to permit its pas
sage November 80 in which case the
opposing forces may already have
come in contact near Colenso where
apparently the Beers are strongly ens
trenehed on the north side of the
river.
London, Dec. Special received
today from Frere dated November 2S,
says. While attempting to blow up a
500 foot bridge over the river at Co
lenso, the Beers were ariven back by
the British artillery and momSed in
fantry.
