WHAT ABOUT THBB1LL?
Two Cabinet Members TeU
How the Matter Stands.
BUT THEY HAT HOT XHOW.
A . VOLUNTEER CONSUL.
Washington, Aug. 23.—Two mem
bers of the cabinet hare expressed the
opinion that the president will allow
the tariff bill to become a law without
bis signature. Both admitted that this
opinion was based upon statement?
made by Mr. Cleveland before leaving
Washington and not upon any iuforma*
ti<22 from Gray Gqjtfes.
T go far A* can be lttuhed, the president
hM PQt written to any of his cabinet
since nis departure. In the absence oi
official advices touching the president’?
intentions, this opiiyn'j of the members
the cabinet furuibhes the only iudi-
canon of how Mr. Cleveland felt on the
subject before going. He has recovered
from his- malarial attack since .tlien and j
he ifiay nave decided on an entirely dif* j
ferent jiro^faJu.
It had been the impression in' admta 1 -
istration circles tuat the bill would be
signed, and the "opinions” of the cabi
net officers are not accepted as at all
conclusive. All the sigus, however,
seem to show that the president has no
idea of vetoing the measure. If this had
been-Mr* Cleveland's policy he doubtless
would have returned the bill before con
gress was given an opportunity to dis
perse- His long meditation at Gray
Gabies can be accounted for only on the
theory that he has resolved to permit
the bill to become a law without his sig
nature.
The clause of section 7 of the consti
tution, under which a bill may become
a law without executive approval,
reads:
If any bill shall not be returned by the
president within 10 days (Sundays except
ed) after it shall have been presented to
him, the same shall be a law in like man
ner aa if ha bad signed it, unless the con
gress, by their adjournment, prevent its
return, in which case it shall not become a
law.
If the president signed the bill it
would go into effect at once. Every
body wants to know when its provi
sions will become operative if it be not
signed. The bill reached the White
House at 1:15 on Thursday afternoon
last. The clerks took great care to have
have the exact time stamped on the bill,
aa this will become a very important
point if the bill becomes a law without
the president’s signature. The 10 days
will expire at 1:15 on Monday next, and
Secretary Carlisle, in his instructions to
the customs collectors, states that the
present law will remain in force np till
that hour and minute.
Chslrmmn Cumuli
SAN Francisco, Aug, 23.—Salvador
has removed its consul in this city,
Cytos JL Yrigoyen, and named Dr.
Eustorjio Calderon, who has been living
in San Francisco during the past two
years as Us successor. Dr. Calderon is
native of Guatemala, but was educated
as a physician and surgeon in Germany.
He sympathizes with the present gov
ernment and is a bitter enemy of the
Ezetas, by whom he was tortured for
taking part in a revolution against
them.
It was believed from the first that
Yrigoyen was friendly to the Ezetas.
and it is thought that his hurried trip to
the east was partly in their interest. The
appointment by Yrigoyen of Mr. Roma
as acting consul was considered by the
Salvadorans here as another attempt to
help the Ezetas.
Yrigoyen bail served as consul under
the presidency of Carlos Ezeta and had
been kiglolv favored by him. The doc
tor sent a telegram to President Gutier
rez, in which he laid the situation before
him, and offered to act as consul. Be
said he was not seeking the consulship
as a permanency; he merely wanted to
gee the Ezeta matter properly attended

belonging to persons declared guilty of
treason have been ordered sold. Mexico
has been asked to recognize the govern
ment. The candidates for the presi

Jacksonville, Aug. 23.—A special
from Luraville says: Great excitement
still prevails in the neighborhood of
Mayo, Lafayette county, over the brutal
assault on Miss Pert, and the subsequent
lynching of three negroes for complicity
in the outrage, and rumors have readi
ed here that several more negroes have
been lynched, but they lack confirma
tion and probably grow out of the great
excitement prevailing.
Several outrages have been commit
ted on women by black tramps in this
section of the state in the last few
months, and the people are thoroughly
aropsed now and determined to make

Chairman Cummings, of the armor

testimony shows fraud in their manu

the purpose of making a closer exami
nation of the statutes and terms of the
contracts with the Carnegie oompany.
The clause of the contract under
which the committee will claim the
right to take off the plates and test them
ballistically, provides that even where
plates have been acoepted by the bal
listic test required by the ordnance bu
reau, the government shall still have
the right at anytime to fire at them,
with the proviso that in case snch plates

for only those that fail to pass.
There is no stipulation as to the time
when these tests shall be made, and
Mr. Cummings holds that there is noth

Mr. Cummings takes the broad ground
that the main object of his investigation
baa been to ascertain the true character
of the plates which have been pnt upon
the new vessels. If they are of good
onality, no one will be more pleased
than he to ascertain that fact; bat, on
the other hand, if they are inferior, he
asserts that they shonld be promptly re
placed, the question as to who has to

manner as eongres* may determine.
The overwhelming evidences of fraud
unearthed by Mr. Cummings' commit

THE SPINNERS' FIGHT.
H» Prooprcts of aa Early Agreement
Fall River, Aug. 28.—The executive
committee of the spinners’ association
met again to consider the strike situa
tion. It was reported that* the Kerr
threacLmiU had made satisfactory terms
with the spinners employed, but the
members declined to say just what they
were.
It is believed that the Kerr mill will
continue paying old forages until the
mixed donaitiou of things in other con
cerns is cleared up.
A delegation of spinners from the
Sanford Spinning company was present
to protest against allowing any reduc
tion of wages in that mill. The mem
bers said they would strike rather thau
work for less wages than they are now
SQpeiving.
'The Globe Yarn mill spinners were
also present and were very much worked
up oa account of the alleged breaking of
faith with them on the part of Agent

Hews from New Bedford.
New Bedford, Mass., Aug. 23.—The
great strike of the textile operatives has
developed into a period of dogged and
determined, activity on bpth sides, and
there are no new developments of inter
est. The feeling is that the other yarn
mills of the city are not likely fb follow
the lead of the Howland corporations
as soon as was predicted.
Whatever their derision may be there
ia likely to be a continuation of the
strike on the present manufacturers far
beyond the time set by many at the be

All of the arrangements made by the

cording to traditional custom. The afore
said eminent Mr. Baruch Grinnfarb, as
representative of his son, the groom, has

bride, as In customary among eminent
people.
He has further bound himself as is
usual to provide the groom before mar
riage with clothing and shoes for work,
Sabbath and holidays, and also with cush
ions and blankets. The learned and emi
nent Mr. Solomon, as representative of his
daughter, the bride, has bonnd himself to
give a dowry to the amount of 3,000 silver
roubles, in cash, and to deposit this
amount, as well ati the present for the
6 room, in the hands of a third party who

He has furthermore bonnd himself to
provide the bride, before the marriage,
with dresses and shoe* for work. Sabbath
and holidays, with cushions, blankets, a
completely furnished bed. linen, hoods and
veils, as ia customary. The marriage shall
take place in good luck and in a fortune
hour and on the fifteenth day of the month
of Shebet of the year of 5661, at the expense
of the father of the bride, here, in the city
of Kalisch. or before that time if fioth par
ties are willing.
Samuel and Esther Rachel were not
married in Russia, and her family came
to New York. Griunfarb followed his
sweetheart and claimed that although,
he urged her to marry him she refused
to do so; then he began suit, in the city
court to recover damages against her
father. He hllegea in his complaint
that he met Rachel iu August, 1890, in
Russia, and entered into the marriage
contract shortly afterward.
He says in the complaint that he fol-
cannot longer spare the time to the du
ties of the chairmanship, and that it is
a good time to get out now that the
tariff bill is pawed. But some of Mr.
Quincy’s friends say this means that he
is definitely in the fight for the may
oralty. |
The resignation is a great surprise
even to most of the Democratic leaders^
and they either have nothing to say*
about it or handle the subject in gin
gerly fashion.
