Now , however , that the veto Is presented for congressional action , there H considerable doubt as to the final result. in view of the large number of absentees t is not likely that any action wilt be [ talen before Tuesday of next week.

With the exception of m itercer. the Nebraska delegation will vote I against the motion to pass the bill over J the veto , or , in other words , will vote to ustain the veto. ilainer , Andrews and Xeni are outspoken in favor of the veto , While Strode , who voted against the bill , is somewhat undecided.

May 29-The house corn- mittee on commerce today authorized Mr. Bennett of New York to make a favorable report on a subtituto for several bills providing - viding for a cable to Hawaii , Japan and China. Under the Lemma of the bill the postmaster general , in his discretion , may contract with the Pacific Cable company of Now York for the constrnction of the cable between time United States and Hawaii , Japan and Chico , via the Midway islands. The bill grants tins right of way over United States land and provides that the iine may be con- trolled by the preaident in tune of war or other extraordinary emergency , A sub. sldy of $100,000 is granted , If advantage is taken of the measure the line to the Tin- wahian islands lutist be completed by Jan. uary 1 , TSDS , and extended to ChIna by the lit of January , 1S.

WAShINGTON , May 29.-Time house epent almost the entire day debating the Johnstong Stokes contested election case from the 5evm entli South Carolina district. The republicans ' were badly dIvided. Those who favored seat- ing the contestant , Johnston , who ran on a populist-republican ticket , finding themselves slightly in time minority when the voting began , inaugurated a filibuster , which laSted until the conference report on the naval ap- jropriation bill came to the rescue and the house reesssd before final action waa taken , Joimneton's partisans were outvoted-95 to 105 , and 1OJ to OP-the first vote being on the minority resolution , declaring Johnston enti- tIed to a seat ; the second on the minority resolution , declaring itliti not entitled to it. An effort iviti ho mnndo to reconsider on Mon. day , and it that fails , to unseat Stokes and declare the seat vacant , The river and harbor bill veto was read and referred without debate to the committee. ' Mr. Herman tdted that action on the moc tion to pass the bill over the veto would probably be takOn on Tuesday. The naval appropriation bill was again sent tO conference , the two houses disagree- ing on the number o battleships and the senate amendment limiting the cost of armor plate to $350 per ton. Mr. Boutelie said that it had been ascertained that the average o cost of armor plate was 500. 1-b read a o letter from Secretary Herbert , criticising the language of the amendment , which the see- t rotary said might prevent direct contracts p with sbipbuilders for ahips and armor. o After the night session. devoted to pen- sion bills , the hon-so adjourned to Monday. o i Condition of the i'r.'nsiiry. a WASHINGTO1.

WAShINGTON , May 29.-Prerident Clevo. ' l and today sent to congroas a me.ssage expressing - pressing executive diaapprovai of the river a nd harbor bill , The message is as follows : ° To the house of flepresentativest I r eturn herewith without approval house bill No. 7,977 , entitled . , tn ect making appro. p riattons for time conttructlon. repair and p resrvation of certain public works on rivers a nd harbors and for other iunioo. ' "There are 417 items of appropriation con- t amed in this bili and every part of the c ountry is represented in the distribution of i ts favors. It directly appropriates or pro- v ides for the immediate expenditure of nearly $ 14,000,000 for rivers and harbors , This sum i s in alditlon to appropriations contained in a nether bill for ainillar purposes , amnoumit- i ng to a little more titan $3,000,000. , The r esult Is that the contemplated immediate e xpenditures for the objects mentioned a mount to about $17,000,000. "A moro startling feature of tIme bill is t ime authorization of contracts for river and h arbor work amounting to more than $62- u 00,000. Though the payments of tiueae c ontracts are in most ease so distributed t hat they are to be met by future appropria- t ions , more than $3,000,000 on their cc- c ount are included in the direct approprizm- l ions above mentioned. Of time remainder n early $20,000,000 will fall due 'tiuring the fi scal year eliding June 30 , 1S9S , and amounts s omewhat less in time years Immediately s ucceeding. A few contracts of a like char- a cter authorized under previotmo etatutes are s till outstanding , and to meet payments on t hese moro than $4,000,000 must be appro- p rlated in the Immediate future , "If , therefore. this bill becomes a law , the o bligations which will be imposed en the g overnment , together with the appropriation m ade for immediate expenditure on account o f rivers and harbors , will amount to about $ s0,000.000. Nor is this all. Tile bill dlrect.o n umerous eurveys and examinations whIch c ontemplate new work and further contt'cts , a nd which portend largely increased expendi- l ures and obligations. There is no ground t o hope that in the face of persistent and g rowing demands time aggregate Cf appropria- t lQns for the snialler scitenies not covered b y contracts will be reduced or even remain n ationary. For the flsal year ending June 3 0 , 1SDS. such bppropniations , together with t he installments on contracts which will fall d ue in that year , can hardly be loss than $ 30,000,000 , and it may roasoiaby , be appro. h ended that the prevalent tendency toward i ncreased expenditures of this sort and the c oncealmen t which postponed payments afford f or extravagance will Increase the burdens c hargeable to this account in succeedng y ears. NOT FOR I'UBLIC WELFARE. 'tn view or time obligation imposed by the C onstitution it seems to be quite clear that only diacharge my duty to the p eopie to interpose my dlaapproval f the legislation proposed. Many f the subjects for which it ap. p ropriates public money are not relatad to he public welfare , and many of them are alpably for time boeflt ot limited localitio9 r in all of individual interests. On the fa ce of the bill , it appoare that not a few f these alleged improvements have boon so mprovidently planned and proseCuted that fter an unwise expenditure of milliotat of ollars , new oxpernients br their acconip'ish. mae cnt have been entered upon. Wimile those ntrusted with the mnanagement of public unds in the Interest of all the people camm ardly justify questionable expenditures for ublic work by pleading the cpinion of ngineers or others as to the practicabhilty f such work. it appears that some dr the ejects for which appropriatiprs ae prp.csed in this bill have been entered upon without th e approval or against the obJections of the xamining engineora. I icarn from official ources that there am-c appropriations con- ta med in the bill to pay for nork which rivate parties have actually agreed with tue overnment to do in consderation ! of their ccupancy of public property. " "I am convinced that the bill now under onsideration will open the way to insidIouS nd incrcasjng abuses and ii ; itself so ox- avagant ifs to be ozpecialiy unsuIted to hese times of depressed business and re- uIting disappointment in government rave- ue. This consideration is emphasized by e prospect that limo public treasury will e confronted with further appropriations ade at the present session of congress , nmounting to more than $500,000,000 , "Individual economy amid careful expondi- res are sterlimmg virtues wimich ; ead tO thrft nti comfort , Economy and the exaction of ear justification for the appropriation of ublic moneys by time servants of the jicoplo re not only virtues , but solemn obligations. o the extent that the appropriations cam- med in this bill are instigated by vrivnte terests and promote local or individual rejects their allowance cannot ( all to stimu- te a vicious paternalism and encourage a entiment amnong our peop'e , aiready too revalent , that timoir attachment to our gov- rnment may properly rest upon time hope nd expectation of direct and especial favoro , nd that the extent to which they are alized may furnish an estlniato of the l alue of governmental care. "I believe no greater danger confronts us s a nation than tue unhappy decadence mong our people of genuine and trustworthy ve and affection for our government as the mbodiment of the highest and beat aspira- e ons of Imthmanity , and not as the giver of s ifts ; and becanea its mission is the enforcec oat of exact justice and equality , and not e allowance of unfair favoritia'm. f hope may be permitted to suggeet , at a time heit the issue of governnent bonds to main- a m the credit and financial standimmg of the a untry Is a subject of criticism. that the o h ntractm , provided for in title bill would t eate obligations of the United States mounting to $62,000,000. no less binding than p b s bonds for that sum.
