WHAT ABOUT THE BILL? DENOUNCED THE ORDER. WHITE MEMBERS BOLTED. THAT F LOR[DA_ LYNCHING. FIERCE FURY OF THE FLAMES A VOLUNTEER CONSUL. IT WAS A C :

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.

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.
The overwhelming evidences of fraud
(inearthed hy Mr. Cummings’ commit
tee are suvu tu h* 1 takeu into account in
any adjustment of the matter effected
by congress, whether tin- suspected
plates pass a satisfactory ballistic test or
Hot.

•T.m 'k sonvii.i.k, Ang. 2:5.—A special
from Luraville says: Great excitement
still {irevails in the neyliborhood of
Mayo, Lafayette county, over tln hrutal
a-sault ou Miss Bert, and flic subsequent
lynching of three negroes for complicity
in the otirrage, and rumors have reach
ed lu re that, several more negroes have
been lynched, but they lack eoniirma-
tion and proliahly grow out of the great
excitement prevailing.
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.
The ]»• ojih- living in the vicinity of
Luravill.- and Mayo are as lawahiiling
as any in the country, but they are re-
sulv* •: t'lpro’cet their wives ami daugli-
ter- from the lustful attacks of negro
tramps.
The veporf that the IxMlies of tlie ne-
gro-.s-.iiM were lyiiehed wire burned
has be. ii eoiilirmed. A gentleman who
wilii' —j, i l he aff air says that the corpses
we. e jih'.-ed on a great pih- of dry wood,

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.
