ANNUAL MESSAGE.
ROOSEVELT is DEVOTiNG CON.
SIDERABLE TIME TO IT.
THREE TOPICS TAKE the LEAD
Federal Supervision of Life Insurance,
Relations With Venezuela and
With santo Domingo.

Oyster Bay, \. Y, Sept. 25.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt will complete his sum
mer sojOurn at Sycamore Hill and
return to Washington next Saturday.
The President. Mrs. Roosevelt and
members Of their family. Secretary
and Mrs. Loeb and the members of
the Executive force will leave here
about II o'clock Saturday morning on
special Long island Railroad train.
They will 90 hy boat from Long Island
City to Jersey City and thence via
the Pennsylvania Railroad TO Wash
ington, reaching the capital shortly
after o'clock.
The President is dey0tng consider
able time each day now to work
on his message to Congress. For some
time he has been assembling data for
the message, but since the adjourn
ment OF the peace conference he has
been writing the data into definite
form. The message will not be com
leted until some time early in No
Vember, because each member Of the
Cabinet will have to supply material
for discussion of the work OF his de-
partment. This information will be
collected in the annual reports Of the
Cabinet officers, which have moi been
completed.
Three topics highly important at
this time to The American people will
be discussed by the President in his
message. They are the Federal reg
ulation of life insurance, the relations
between this country and Venezuela
and Americas interest in the fiscae
affairs of the government of SantO
Domingo. Other important subjects
naturally will be considered. among
them the scandals disclosed in the de-
partments Agriculture and lie In
terror; the work of me Department OF
Justice in the beef trust cases; the
regulation Of railroad freight rates;
the progress made in the construction
of the Panama Canal and the con-
clusion of peace between Russia and
Japan.
Much of the material for the dis
cussion of these subjects President
Roosevelt now has in hand, and the
last days of his stay at Sycamore Hill
are being devoted to the preparation
of that part Of his message which will
deal with them. Few visitors have
been received since the adjournment
of the peace conference, the Presi-
dent desiring to be as free as possible
from intsrTU ptiOn while working on
his message. His last week here is
practically devoid Of engagements.
The consideration of al matters ex-
Cept those Of immediate Importance
is being postponed until the Presi-
dent shall have reached Washington.

Ory on the date scheduled for the
visit of President Roosevelt was found
by the authorities in yesterdays re
port, which, While exceedingly encour-
aging in the matter OF new cases
after the low report for Sunday, also
indicated that the fever now prevail
ing is of a comparatively mild type.
Though the authorities do not desire
to stretch the fact that not all the
cases that go inc the official report
are yellow fever, the confirmation is
partly furnished in the low number OF
deaths which are occurring at this
time and which are in disproportlon
to the number of cases that were re-
ported during the past two weeks.
DOCtrs as rule are now turning
in every case of fever that comes IN
their practice, and these figure in the
daily report.
On occasions where there are re-
monstrances On the part of the family
of the patient the explanation is given
that the authorities desire to be in
formed of every possible case Of fever,
and the physician declares his I'M
willingness to run the risk of fine
