THE EVENING GAZETTE THE GGMLNG MESSAGE f‘Devoted Mainly to Foreign lice-1 lations and Currency. ACTION ASKED ON HAWAII 1, Practical Conclusions Reached thal Present Conditions Do Not VVar- rant Interference in the Affairs ‘of Cuba. W'ashington, Dec. 3.—-President Mc- Kinley’s message will be devoted prac- tically to foreignrelations and the cur- rency problem. It will be unique in that it ignores the great bulk of mat- sers usually constituting the depart- mental portions of Presidential annual messages. There is scarcely a refer- ence to the subject matter of the an- nual reports of the Cabinet members. the President’s purpose being to call attention only to the mpre important affairs of the Government. For this reason, the postal savings project oi the Postmaster-General is not dis- cussed. While the details of the currency por- tion are not definitely known, it can be authoritatively stated that it is in‘the main an incorporation of views sub. mined by Secretary Gage, though as to details the President leaves himself f1 e by not taking any position with 11;:ere11ce to several features of the Sec- r-v'ltaryfs plan while-indorsing its main abject. Strong presentation of the Hawaiian question is made, and Congress is urged to ratify the annexation treaty immediately. ~The necessity for mak- ing the islands part of the United States and the advantages from such action are reviewed. The messags calls attention to the re- cent trend of affairs in Cuba, refers to the autonomy scheme, and, after re- citing other developments, reaches the- rirtual conclusion that existing cir~~ cumstances do not warrant interfer- ence on the part of the United States. “Peace on earth, good will towards men,” is to be the keynote of the mes- sage. This fact the President has made clear to more than one United States Senator who has called on him during the past few days. Said one of these Senators to your correspondent: “T 1e P1 951: lent believes that the' business i11te1ests of the country de- sire rest and peace, and he will try to make his message so conservative in character that it will inspire confidence tinoughout the countiy and advance he tide of prosperity, which he thinks has already begun to sweep over the country. In respect to Cuba he will show that Spain is making an attempt to pacify the island and grant the in— surgents home rule, and that, therefore, there-is no immediate excuse for Con- gress to pass any 1esolutions or take any action whatever in favor of the Cubans. While adopting a conservative policy in regard to Cuba, his attitude will be film and dignified, and Spain will be made to undeistand that the Administration will not brook any re- turn of Weylerism. “The President will also make clear - the fact that he desires Congress to be rigidly economical in regard to all ap- propriations, both for the departments of the Government and in regard to appropriating money for private claims and new public buildings. In this policy of retrenchment the President will have the active co-operation of Speaker Thomas B. Reed and the different chairmen of the big committees—Ap- propriations and Rivers and Ha1bors. “By keeping down the appropriations the President believes that the Dingley bill will provide sufficient revenue to run the Government, and therefore it is unlikely that there will be any further tariff legislation during the 'cOming session. “The President is of the opinion that when the business interests of the country realize that he favors peace . and security better times will come and remain.” The message pays considerable atten- tion to the matter of reciprocity nego~ tiations ”with various countries in Eu- rope. Special Commissioner Kasson has been working on this subject for some time, and the message expresses the hope of the Administration for sat- isfactory results. The policy of the Administration on this subject is out- lined, and, citing French champagnes as an illustration, the point is made that if special concessions are given to any foreign products the United States must receive reciprocal conces- sions. The Alaskan problem is discussed at length, and a plea is made for Con- gressional legislation, including the ex- tension of the public land laws and the granting of rights of .way for roads. GENERAL PANDO SHOT: Reportthnt the Spanish Couunuuder Has Fallen Before Cuban Bullets. Havana, Cuba, via Key West, Fla, Dec. 3.—A report that Gen. Pando, who was placed in charge of military ope1atlons in Cuba by Gen. Blanco, has been killed in an engagement with in- surgents in Santa Clara Province has just reached Havana. This report has caused the most in- tense excitement in the palace and offl- cial'circles, and «every effort is being made to get news from Gen. Pando’s force and to find out the truth 01 falsity of the startling news. No details of the killing of the Span- ish commander have been received, be- yond the statement that he was shot in a. battle with a force of insurgents while on the march from Sagua La Grande, on the northern coast of Santa Clara, to Trinidad, on the southern coast of the same province, where he was to take a. ship and go to Manza- 111110, in the eastern province of Santi- ago de Cuba. Populists Reject Hawaii. Washington, Dec. 3.——The six Populist members of the Senate have decided to oppose the Hawaiian annexation treaty on the ground that it is not necessary and that it will entail a. heavy expendi- ture for the navy and that the popula- tion time brought in will be undesira- ble.

Mrs. William W. Bloom, 1"holivesat 7 Vl'ater street, Norwalk. says: “I have been troubled with catarrh in my head and throat for some time... My whole head was stuffed up; the passages of m y head and throat; would at times become so filled with mucous that I could not- talk and altogethei it was ve1 y annov- ing. I also su‘fei ed a 01 eat deal of the time with headaches. I got abottle of California Catari h Cuie at Plaisted’s (11 ug 5101 e in South Norwalk, and I think it is the giandest stuff in the world. It has cu1 ed me of all the disagreeable thro at. tIoubles me no more, and i haven t- had a headache for weeks. i have recommended it to several friends who have used it; with satisfactory re- sults, and we all unite in saying it is a wonderful medicine.” These words are from your own to“ new oman. California Catarrh Cure is for you. too. In cases of colds it is invaluable, as it helps in breaking them up, and e11t11el1 p1 events a cold “hanging on, ” as well as attacks of acute cat-arrh, which so often follow a seveie cold in the head.

Each ,Foreign Board Treasurer icems to [have his own way of trans- mitting money to foreign fields. Near- 'y thirty years ago the Methodists adopted a plan which their secretaries ‘leclare cannot be improved upon. The plan is this: A Secretary draws a thee-day draft on the Treasurer of ITS own Board. This draft he mails ‘.O a missionary in some part of the globe. The missionary cashes the Matt at any local bank. No mission— 11'y is permitted to draw on the Treas- 11‘er of his home Board. No mission- Secretary is authorized to sign a draft. Some advantages of this plan are: l. The saving of the cost of a bank lraft, because the Secretary uses his )wn draft. 2. The saving of inter- iSt while the money is in transit. 3. A gaining of time. To illustrate the atter advantage it is needful only to Joint out that, were a draft purchased it a bank, the money or its collateral would of course have to be forthcom- ng to pay for it. Under the plan in 1se the Secretary sends the draft to :he missionary whether he has the “e'ady money or the collateral in hand it the moment or not.’ One to three nonths are required for the mails to oring the draft back. By that time the money is in hand. In Africa the drafts of the Methodist Board are similar, in both appearance 1nd availability, to United States noney. Some are issued for as small 1 sum as 25 cents. They pass as read- ‘ly as currency along the coast and in 1y as currency all along the coast and n many parts of the interior. Often they are many months, in some cases (ears, in being returned to the home film for redemption—Church Econo- nist. THE CZAR’S DIPLOMACY. ‘iis Quiet “’ay of Rebuking His Soldiers for Sn ubbing a Comrade. The luxury and extravagance 1mongst the upper grades in the Rus- :ian army makes it exceedingly diffi- :ult for an officer who is not rich to ieep up his dignity. Recently a 701mg Russian lieutenant, none too well off,, rode to his barracks in a 1-treet car, and his brother Offiz.81‘S were so scandalized by this undigniflei when that the young soldier “as :nnbbed and an intimation conveyed .0 him that his resignation would be l-eslrable. Somehow this reached the 3231’s ears, and, inpursulance of a pol- cy of simplicity and common se'Ise .hat has rapidly been endearing the oresent Russian ruler to his peopze, 1e wen-1; out with a single attendant, lumped 011 a car and rode to the bar- 'acks himself. When he presented 1imself before the officers of‘thre rec,- ment, he 'said: “Now, gentlemen, I near that to ride in a tram is beneath ,he dignity of an officer of your regi- 11ent. I have just been riding in a .ram, and I am your Colonel; do you wish me to send in my papers?” The Ipology was, 'of course. immediately 'art-hcoming, the young lieutenant was vindicated, and probably the first mown instance in which the Czar 'ode in a public street car was made 1 matter of history—Philadelphia. r1edger. ' ' Tight Collars Should Be Avoided. Not long ago, according to an Eng- ish journal, an American gentleman was found dead in a compartment of he train from Nice to Paris. The in— west showed that his collar had ac- ;ually strangled him. There is a mint of inhibition near the “Adam’s 1pple," and if ’it be compressed the 'espiration is suddenly arrested, pro- lucing asphyxia. A collar which oresses just a. little when the wearer s upright can press much more when 1c is seated; and if he falls asfeep, :ongestion, followed by coma. and leath, may ensue.
