IT WAS A C : TWO CABINET MEMBERS TELL HOW MATTERS STAND. But They May Not Know-All Signs Go to Show that There is a Lit tle Danger in the Presi dent’s Vetoing It. Washington, Aug. Two ni<-m- b*Ts of the fiibinot havo oxpn-ss.sl tin- opinion that tin; pivsiilcnt will allow tin- tariff hill to Ixt-onif a law without his signature. Both ailniitt.sl that thi> opinion was hased u]mhi staP-inent- made by Mr. Clev.dand h.-fon* leaving Washington and not upon any informa tion from <fray (fables. So far as can be learned, the president has not written to any of his eabinet since his departure. In the absence <>1 official advices touching the president's intentions, this opinion of the mcmliors of the cabinet furnishes the only indi cation of how Mr. Cleveland felt on the iJObjoct Indore going. He has recovered from his malarial attack since then and he may have decided on an entirely dif ferent program. It had been the impression in admin istration circles tnat the bill would 1h signed, and the ‘’opinions” of the cabi net officers are not accepted as at all conclusive. A.ll the signs, however, seem to show that the president has no idea of vetoing the measure. If this had been Mr. Cleveland's policy hedonbrless would have returned the bill before con gress was given an opjiortunity to dis- perse- His long meditation at (fray Gables can 1m* accounted for only on the theory that he has resolved to permit the bill to become a law without Ids sig nature. The clause of section 1 of the consti tution. under which a bill may become a law without executive approval, reads: If any hill shall not lie returned by th president within 10 dn\s (Sundays except edl after it shall have heen pres, nted to him. tlie same shall be a law in like man lier as if he had signed it, imle— the con gress, by their adjournment, prevent its return, in whh h cjise it shall Hot beeomea law. If the president signed the bill it would go into effect at once. Every- lx sly wants to know when its provi sions will become operative if if lie not signed. The hill reached the White House at l:b'i on Thursday afternoon last. The clerks took great care to have have the exact ti.ne stumped on the bill, as this will lN-eome a very ini]inrfaut point if the hill becomes a law without the president's .signature. The 10 days will expire at 1 :C> on Monday next. a - d Secretary Carlisle, in his instructions to the customs collectors, states that tin. present law will remain in force up till that hour and minute. riiHlrninii fioiiiiiings* ltr|ti»rt. Chairman Cumming'. of the armor f (late investigating committee, ha* sent ds re]Kirt to the government printing office, accompanied hy the vnlnminou- festimony taken during the in<|uiry, which, when printed, will make an octavo volume of iicurlv I.o;m» pages. Mr. Cummings had intended making |ds rejxirt to f Ip* hou*e at the >a:u • time, puhndffing a resolution directing the (Secretary of the navy to take from the cruisers certain plates regarding which tesfimonv shows fraud in their manu facture, tint he ha* delayed action for the purjKise of making a closer exami nation of the statutes and terms of the contracts with the Carnegie company. The clause of the contract under which the committee will claim flu- right to take off the plates and te-t them ballistic: Hy. provides that even where I dates have been accepted by the hal- isfie test required by t he ordnance bu reau. the government shall still have the right at any time to tire at them, with the proviso that in ease sin-h plates pas* the test successfully, they shall Ik- paid for hy the government, tin- con tractors engaging to furnish new 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 ing in the contracts which bars thu government from making them at any time. Mr. Cummings take-the broad ground that the m: i object of Ids investigation has Im-cii to ascertain the true character pf the plates which haw been put u|toii the new Vessels. If they are of good duality, no one will be more pleased tlum he to ascertain that fact: init, on the other band, if they are inferior, he asserts that they should !»• promptly re- 1 dared, the question as to who has to x-itr tip'loss to he determined in such planner a> rongivs- may determine.

Several outrages have been commit ted on women by black tramps in this beetion of the state in the last few mouths, and the jieople are thoroughly aroused now and ileteriuiued to make an example of every one of whose guilt they are convinced. The better class of negriK-s are with the white people in tliis crusade. At least 2(1 negroes were present and aided in lynching the fiends who assaulted Mis* Bert. These crimes against wo men are not the work of Florida ne groes. The phosphate woiTs and the turpentiue stills attract negroes from other states, and they are 'rein-rally the oin s who perjietrate the outrages. These lloaling negroes are generally dcsjK-rate eharsn-ters—many of them e.x- eonviets—and it.is against them that the present crusade is directed. The ne groes who are jMmninent residents are aiding the white people iu their efforts to rid the eommnnity of these worthless tramps.

San Fkam isco, Aug. 2:3.—Salvador has removed its consul iii this city, (JarBs A. Yrigoyen, and named Dr. Eustarjio Calderon, who has been living in San Francisco during the past two years as his successor. Dr. Calderon is native of Guatemala, hut was educated us a physician and surgeon in (h rmany. He sympathizes with the present gov ernment and is a hitter enemy of the Ezetas, by whom he was tortured for taking part in a revolution against them. If was Ix-lieved 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 hy Yrigoyen of Mr. Roma as acting consul was considered by the Salvadorans here as another attempt to help the Ezetas. ^ rigoycn had served as consul under th" presidency of Carlos E/.eta and had Ik-cu highly favored by him. Tin diK-- tor sent a telegram to President Gutier rez, in which In laid the-itu;-.! iou before him, and ottered to net as consul. He said he was not seeki”g the consulship as a iK-rmaitency; he merely wane d to see the E/.- ta matter prop' rlv ntu-m ed to. I{ri^lit«*r Tini«'rt in S;ilY;nlnr.
