Interest in the message centers very largely in the feature relating to foreign affairs, and to this the President will de- vote most of his attention.

He does not wish Congress to take anv action that might bring about strained relations with the Spanish Government or in any way interfere with his efforts to bring about the termination of the war in Cuba.

HAVANA, Nov. 14.—Much incredu ity is expressed publicly as to the ability of the Government to persuade or compel grinders to resume planting and afford | protection. The action of insurgents does not seem to have been taken into con- sideration, and without their consent in exchange for tribute no amount of Gov- ernment protection can suffice to prevent | the burning of cane. Already the work of incendiarism is said to have been begun, | Smoke ha< been seen rising since Monday to the southwest of Havana, distant ap- pirently about twenty miles, and it 1s reported the rebels are burning planta- | tions. Evenassuming that the insurczents would permit the reconcentrados to flock to the plantations, it i+ said 1o be impossi- ble to barvesi the crop owing to the ex- termination of oxen.

It is possible that by the time the message goes in the President may be able to give to Congress more authoritative informa- tion than would now be possible as to the effects of concessions from Spain and as to the prospects of the scheme for au- tonomy being accepted by Cuban leaders. At any rate, he will urge that time be allowed to give Spain a fair opportunity to end the war and establish her promised scheme of liberal government. 1 Mr. McKinley recognizes as inevitable | the introduction of jingo resolutions in both houses, and of warlike speeches in the Senate, with possibly tne passage of resolutions by that body, but he expects the House to be willing to wait for the administration to carry out its policy. On the subject of reciprocity the Presi- dent will be able to show that an arrange- ment mutually advantageous to the com- merce of both countries is reaching conclusion with France ; that negotiations for reciprocity with Canada arein progress, and that it is expected that arrangements will be made with various countries in South and Central America. | The Nicaraguan canal will be touched‘ upon, but it is thought the President will send a special message to Congress on! this subject arter he has received the re- | port of the engineer commission about to start to Nicaragua. The President will urge upon Congress the necessity of adopting legislation for the reform of the currency system along lines recommended by Secretary of the Treasury Gage. This plan involves the | refunding of the national debt at 24 pcri cent; the retiremant of greenbacks and | treasury notes and the issuance of circu- lating nofes exclusively by national banks, with provisions which would at the same tims insure the safety of the! notes and a greater degree of elasticity in the currency. Alaskan affairs will be treated at some length, and the President will point out the necessity of immediate legislation for | this region. i Important recommendations for both the army and navy will be made. The | continuation of the work of fortifving sea- | coasts will be urged, and attention be | called to the necessity for an increase in the artillery arm of the service so as to properlv. man the new defenses.

When Baby comes he is a king, unless it's a girl; then she is a queen; but some kings and queens are the unhappiest of mortals. How will it be with { Baby? To make life happy and successful the mother ought to endow this little sovereign with a cheerful mind and sturdy, ro- bust coustitution. But she cannot fulfill » \ this maternal obliga- \\ tion unless her own health is at its best when the infant monarch arrives. Prospective mothers are wonderfully strengthened and maintained in body and mind by Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre- scription. Taken as carly as possible during the expectant time it imparts healtls and vigor to the entire system and elastic power and endurance to the deli- cate organism specially concerned. It shortens confinement; frees delivery from all danger and from most of its pain; gives recuperative energy to the mother and insures a healthy supply of nourishment for the child. Any special weakness or disease of the feminine organism is completely cured by Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It is the only medicine for woman prepared bya gularhz uated and experienced Pphysician and specialist. Mrs. Roscoe Vaniover, of Robinson Creek, Pike Co., Ky., writes : ‘I wish to express my thanks to you for the good T have received from your *Favorite Prescri I have used it at differ- nd always with But the greatest orite Prescription® % N the most gratify ng good received from the ‘Fav was about four months ago when my last baby was born. I was afflicted with *childbed fever.® Instead of sending after a doctor I used the * Pre. scription’ and was cured. A lady friend of mine ‘was similarly afflicted and scnt after the doctor and took his remedies and died. I am 27 years old, weigh 147 pounds, the mother of five children, and am enjoying the best of health.”
