WASHINGTON, June 20, 1912,
In the House of Representatives,, after
the disposal of some private and local
business, the consideration of the Presi-
dents message relative to the APPor,ion-
mcnt Bill was resumed. Some further
debate arose, after which, on motion of
Mr. Adams, the message was referred TO a
select committee. The object of this re-
ference is to get possession of the reas sons
of the President for signing the bill,
which reasons are filed with the bill in
the Treasury Department
The Indian Appropriation Bill was Ia
ken up. and after debate, read a third time
and passed.
The pri vatc secretary Of the President
here appeared with message. 1t was
read by the clerk, and proved TO be the
'little' Tariff Bill with Tcto. Owing
TO the confusion which prevailed, it was
impossible to hear the precise grounds on
which the bill is vetoed; but 1t appears
that the President considers the dis,ribu-
ton clause the principal objection.
Mr.. w. Cost Johnson moved that the
message be printed. A motion was also
made that the reconsideration Of the bill
be postponed for the present
In the Senate. after the preliminary bu-
sincss Of the morning, the bill respecting
the reorganization OF the Army was taken
Up, and debated at great length.

THAT GOAT.-Wc cali he attcDtlon oi
The owner (whocycr he may be) Of that goat Tat
is pcrambalating the streets, to the fact that
within the last week it has scared several horses
and endangered several lives. Three cases have
come to our knowledge: one, ofsyoung lady
whose horse ran considerable distance; and it
was with great difficulty that she remained upon
him, and finally succeeded in stopping him; an
other young man who was thrown and hurt;
and another,'a gentleman IN carriage v hose

unmansgesb!cness ofhis horse. Thus wo see, it
is dangerous to have that goat running in tho
street. and if the owner docs not take care of it,
