MESSAGE ALL READY.
Cabinet Read 1t and Give
Their Unqualified
Approval.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-The presidents
annual message is practically completed
and ready for transmission to congress
when that body assemblies next week.
The message will be unusually long on
account of the numerous and import
ant topics it discusses. The portions of
the message treating of different topics
have been sent to the public printer, as
they have been finished, and proofs
have been submitted for revision. 1t is
not certain that the message will be
sent to congress next Monday. 1t is
customary to send it on the day of the
assembling of congress, but. as the
death of the vice president makes it
certain that the Senate at least will
adjourn Immediately out of respect to
his memory it is not unlikely that the
message will be withheld until Tues
day. In the House the adjournment will
only be delayed until that body is or
ganized, when, upon the announce
ment of the death of the vice president,
it will also adjourn.
The cabinet meeting today was de-
voted almost exclusively to the consid-
Grafton of the presidents message. A
large portion of the message was read
by the president, after which the mem
bers entered into a general discussion of
the policy and recommendations it con-
tanned. 1t met with general approval,
and after the meeting had adjourned
several of the members expressed the
opinion that it was an unusually strong
and able document

DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS
ARE ALL AGAINST ROBERTS

Washington. Nov. est looks more
and more as If Mr.. Roberts would have
to go. The republican leaders appear
to be bound to keep or put the mem
Der from Utah out Of the House. and
the democratic leaders, unwilling to be
caught in the trap which their oppo-
nents were setting for them, decline to
come to Mr.. Roberts assistance. The
fact is that the republicans would like
to get credit from the country for hav-
ing rid congress of this supposedly obi
Gus man, and the democrats, also play
ing for the approval of the masses, are
ready to play the same game. Unless
some change comes in tho sentiment
of members of both parties, therefore
1t is probable Mr.. Roberts will have to
walk the plank. The republicans, be-
ing responsible for the government of
the House, are looking up the legisla-
tive precedents and the law, endeavor-
ing to find the easiest way out of the
trouble, as well as the quickest.
DEMOCRATS MAY REJECT HIM.
The democrats are discussing wheth-
er or not they shall allow Mr. Roberts
to enter their caucus, he being a mem
Der of their party in good standing. AS
yet not great many members of either
party are in Washington, and the lead
ers who are disposing of the Roberts
case in. advance of the arrival of the
main guard may be acting premature
ly. But count Of noses among the
members already here shows that Mr..
Roberts will have to go, in case the
remainder of the House, considered in
proportion, entertains like sentiments.
The democratic leaders have practi-
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-11-29

cally decided that they will make no
effort to keep the Utah man out from
their caucus, but win leave the ques-
ton to be determined by the House.
Some of the democrats resent this de-
cision and declare they cannot indorse
theory that holds a man may be good
enough to sit in a democratic caucus,
but too bad to occupy a seat in the
House. To some Of them, that does not
sound just right.
REPUBLICAN LEADERS PLANS.
The republican leaders are still dis
posed to keep Mr.. Roberts from taking
the oath, but they will not decide that
point definitely till they meet in eau
Gus. There is no doubt Of their power
to do so if they have the courage to
use the power. Mr.. Roberts himself
does not appear to be alarmed at the
evidences which appear on every hand
that he is to be railroaded out of his
seat He has a certain childlike con-
tidence that in this free country a man
can't be deprived of his legal rights in
response to what he terms an intolerant
cIamor. Mr. Roberts has never been
in congress before and his acquaintance
with national politics as the game is
played at this capital, appears to be
limited.
So far, not a single representative
with courage enough to defend Rob
erts' right to his seat has appeared
on the scene. The most that members
who doubt the wisdom or justicA Of
unseating him are willing to say is that
they are considering the matter Mr..
Roberts claims that he has pledges of
support from large number of repre-
sentatives but it is a fact that none
OF his champions has as yet been heard
from.

YOUNG MANS CHANCE.

The Philippines Offer Unusual Op-
portunties to Thrifty Americans.
Recruiting in Worcester is still very
quiet and yesterday Capt. John c.
Gresham, in conversation with The Spy
reporter, said that the present time was
the best time to enlist in the United
states army. A telegram was received
py capt Gresham yesterday at his
Providence office from Adit. Gen
Ihomas Ward, which stated that re-
crults were needed mostly for infan-
try regiments in the Philippines. "A
young man enlisting at the present
time, the captain said, will reach the
isIands 10 see the rounding up of the
insurgents" He can enlist for three
years, ana after serving out his time
VIII have, by using economy with his
salary, about 500 saved UP. He will
spend all of his time in and about the
larger places in the islands, and when
ne leaves the service he can take his
money and start in business. The words
OF Gen. Wheeler, said the captain. when
ne said that any young American
would have the chance of his life in
the philippines for business, are true
ana any young man going over there
ana blding his time, can get opportu-
mites that would never cross his path
in this country"

NEW PLYMOUTH CHURCH
FEAR ITS INSTITUTIONAL FEATURES
MAY NOT BE RETAINED.
Prices Too High for Downtown
Property-One of the Sites
offered.

Plymouth Church is having trouble over
the location of the new church. Many sites
have been proposed and many are under
consideration, but the difficulty which con-
fronts the members is the average price
asked for property which is suitably located
considered with the cost of new building.
The members of the church are practically
unanimous in desiring that the institutional
features of the church be preserved. but to
do this II would be necessary for the church
to be located down town. One of the recent
sites offered for the church is the old Harri-
son property, at the northwest corner of
Meridian and Michigan streets, but there Is
objection TO this IN account OF the price
asked-S30 .000--and many OF the members
moved from the heart Of the city to pre-
serve the Institutional features. There Is a
possibility that the Institutional features
will be dropped because of the difficulties
or keeping them, in view Of the cost of a
proper location and building.
"A portion Of the church membership be-
lieves the church will not be able to have
the new church an institutional one on ac-
count OF financial considerations, and this
portion will probably advocate the abandon
ment of the idea entirely, although they
personally favor keeping these features. No
official action has been taken regarding the
bers have been out of the city during the
summer, but Ii Is expected that some action
will soon be taken. The problem has many
complications and there will probably be
many differences Of opinion on the plan of
solution.

lOWA'S STATE CAPITOL.
Conventions Are Not Permitted to
Have the Use Of 1t.

J. d. McGarraugh, of Des Moines, the
custodian of the Iowa Capitol, was the guest
of Custodian Vest of the Indiana Capitol.
yesterday for q few hours on his way home
from the G. A. r. encampment at Phil
adelphia. Mr.. McGarraugh was shown over
the Indiana building and the system ex-
planned TO him. He expressed some surprise
that there is no law to prevent the use of
the building and grounds for any other
than legitimate state purposes. In Iowa the
law viii not permit the use Of legislative
halls, corridors or grounds for any OF the
purposes to which the Indiana building
often has been put. Iowa has more money
for help about her building than Indiana
and each state officer has a private jani-
tor. Mr.. McGarraugh thinks the Iowa offices
in better condition, because they have
marble and tile wainscoting. The floors are
covered with carpets instead of linoleum.
Those who are unable to forgive Gus
todian Vest for his position in the tent con-
troversy were yesterday scoffing at him for
permitting six large farm wagons to stand
on the north side of the Statehouse. The
wagons were those which belong TO the
State and which have been stored at the
fair grounds since the troops were camped
there. The room they occupied was needed
for fair exhibits, and the wagons were yes
terday brought to their former storage
place in the basement of the Statehouse.

Prof. James S. Black received letter yes

Of Paris. which was written at Rennes,
where Mr.. Black went to- attend the Drey-
fus trial. The letter says:

famous trial which Is shaking France to it's
very foundations. / was greatly impressed
by II. The building is guarded on every side
and before you reach it you have to pass
before line OF soldiers with a special pass.
Then you have second pass TO enter the
hall, where the trial Is being held. 1t was
most interesting, for / was. beautifully
placed could not have been better. Was

I had Dreyfus directly in line with full
front view, M. Labori behind him, a ner-

find himself much the worse for wear when
all the excitement is over. His wife, who
was the wife of the pianist De Pachman,
was near me. Colonel Picquart sat nearly
on line with me; in looks he was rather
disappointing. General Zurlinden was near.
General Mercier also. and Roget, Lauth.
Yunk and others were within arms length.
