READ TO THE CABINET.
Full Enforcement of His Forth
coming Message.

Washington, Nov. 20. President
Roosevelt read his message to the
members of the cabinet at the reg
ular meeting of his advisers to-
day. The entire session was>devoted
to the reading of this document,
which is quite long, and, according
to the members of the cabinet, is an
able, straightforward message and
one that will please the people and
meet with their approval. The pres
ident read the message himself, and
paused frequently to comment upon
it and ask the opinion of the mem
bers of the cabinet. These interjec-
tions of President Roosevelt were of
the utmost frankness. The cabinet
members Endorsed the message as it
was written, and told the president
it met with their unqualified ap-
prevail.
It has been said that the message
would be rather brief, but it is known
positively that it consists of not less
than $4,000 words. 1t required nearly
three hours to read and discuss it,
