President Devoting Much Time to the Gathering of Material. Oyster Bay, Sept. 26.— The president is devoting considerable time each day now to work on his annual message to congrses. For some time he has been assembling data for the message, but since the adjournment of the |>eace conference he has been writing the data into definite form. The message w ill not be completed until some time early in November, l>ecause each mem(>er of the cabinet w ill have to supply mater ial for discussion of the work of his department. This information w ill lie contained in the annual reports of the cabinet officers, which have not 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 regula tion and supervision of life insurance, the relations betweeu this country and Venezuela and America’ s interest in the fiscal affairs of the government of Santo Domingo. Other important sub jects naturally w ill lie considered, among them the scandals disclosed in the Departments of Agriculture and the Interior; the work of the depart ment 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 conclusion of peace net ween Russia and Japan. Much of the material for the dis cussion of these subjects the president has in hand, and the last few days of his stay at Sagamore H ill are being devoted to the preparation of that part of his message which w ill deal with them. Few visitors have been received since the adjournment of the peace conference, the president desiring to be as free as possible from interruption while working on his message. His last week here is practically devoid of engagements. The consideration of all matters except those of immediate im portance is being postpone«! until the president shall reach Washington.
