THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Washington, Nov. 2s.-The Presi-
dents annual message is practically
completed, and ready for transmission
to Congress when it assemblies next
week. Tho message will be unusually
long, on account Of the numerous and
important topics it discusses. The
portions of the message treating of diff
erent topics have been sent to the pub
lie printer as they have been finished,
and proofs have been submitted for re-
vision.
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
organized, when, upon the announce
ment of the death Of the Vice-Presi-
dent, it also will adjourn.
