PRESIDENTS MESSAGE DISCUSSED,
OF WAR TAXES BY ABOUT
s5.OOOOoo TO BE RECOMMENDED.

Washington. Nov. 13.-The Cabinet meeting
to-day was devoted largely to the discussion
between the President and his advisers Of his
forthcoming message to Congress. Each Of the
members furnished a forecast of his annual
report, but none of the reports were in shape for

that the recommendation in the message on the
subject Of the war revenue taxes will advocate
a small reduction, scaling down the total reve-
nue. about Sf5OOO000 Just where this decrease
will be made has not been determined.
Considerable attention will be devoted to tht

until all the guests at The Chestnuts have gone
and then they take possession of the hotel for
two or three days practically going into re-
treat They decline to speak of what takes
place in their meetings; in fact, they will not
sneak of anything at all IN connection with their
visit
The Rev. DR. John Balcom Shaw said to a
Tribune reporter at Riverdale yesterday: We
will not give out any information whatever
about our visit The meetings are wholly secret
and I have nothing now to say in regard 10
them
Another minister said that the visit was sort
of a religious house party. an informal gather
ing and q prayer meeting large scale. This

meetings On the contrary. there is nothing but
short addresses prayers and hymns.
At the meeting yesterday morning. the Rev
Robert E. Speer spoke; in the afternoon the
Rev. Dr. Maltbie D. Babcock talked upon The
Spirit of Christ" and in the evening the Rev

are they held to give the ministers opportunltie
IN comnare ouin!ons They entirely deVo.
tional The ministers getting good deaI OF
pleasure from their visit After the n1eeunSo

WASHINGTON NOTES.

on Thursday of last week nator
Penrose renewed his notice that he
would move the consideration of the
QUAY case next day, and as that was
Washiugton's Birthday, the Senate ad-
iourned after the reading of the Fare
well Address.
On Friday the Senate by vote of "a
to as agreed to take up the Quay case,
and Mr.. Daniels, Dem, of Virginia ad-
dressed the Senate in favor Of Quay
right to a seat. An agreement was
reached in the House that day, that the
vote on the Puerto Rican tariff bill be
taken at p. m. Tuesday, general de-
bate to close Monday.
On Saturday Penrose again gave
notice of his intentions to call up the
Quay case, Monday.
On Monday Senator Turley of the
Committee on Privileges took the inltl-
ative in the Quay case, relieving Mr..
Penrose of the necessity of asking the
chair to lay before the Senate the reso-
luton declaring that NJ S. Quay Is not
entitled TO a seat in the Senate. Mr..
Turlev is regarded as one of the ablest
lawyer. in the Senate, and his ar8u-
ment received marked attention, notice
ably from those senators who haYe re-
Gently taken their seats, and who, there
fore. are not familiar with the argu-
ments in past cases. His speech was
an elaborate discussion CT the constitu-
tional points raised in the majority re-
port of the committee on Privileges and
Elections. which declared Col Quay
not entitled TO a seat under appoint
ment of the governor, and his deduction
was that IF ever there was a case IN
which the governor of a state, was,
under the constitution, without power
| to fill the vacancy, it is this one. The
action of the governor was in the teeth
of every provision of the constitution
bearing upon the subject.
The Conference Committees, that
day. amended the title of the Puerto
| Rican bill, and agreed upon a rate OF ID
per cent to raise revenue for the gov
ernment of the island, the same to end
March 1902
During the debate on the Porto Rico
bill Monday, Mr.. Boutell, Rep, of III.
was interrupted several times by Mr.
Cochran, Dem, of Mo, and compared
him to the man whose epitaph reads;
Here lies the body of Robert Gordon,
| Mouth almighty and voice according
| Stranger. tread lightly near this wonder
| If he opens his mouth you're gone by
| thunder
