WASHINGTON, April 20. Yesterday,
when the veto message on the shlary
question was read in the Senate, one of
the official reporters noticed The gross
and inexcusable errors the President
had fallen into where he said when The
salary Of the President OF the United
States was fixed by the Constitution ut
$s5 900 per annum :" and again, near
The close, repetition of the error,
where he said, eft ia not now one
fifth in value what II was when lixed by
the Constitution In supplying wants aud

heard the document read, but the ntteIF-
ton Of the Grotou grocer, Senator Boti-
well, was called to the Prcsldents ig-
norance Of the Constitution, an6 the
veto message was quietly returred to
the President for revision. To-day 1t

The ignorance betrayed by the 2resi-

was sent to The Senate on Tuesday. but
WIS not read until yesterday. The Off

it came to the Senate. and another copy
was made for the Associated Press and
telcgraphed Immediately after it was
read. Tho criticism which the original
message Is open 10 is exceedingly mo,ii-
flying 10 tho Presidents friends. and

SAN FaASusco, Aprii N.-In tho
Spaulding court martial to-day Joseph
Crawford, Clerk Of the Navy Pay once,
testified with regard 10 the relations o.
John o. Hanscom, FarweIl and }. u.
Delamontagnie with the Psy Depart
ment; that the amount on the certili-
cate book, purportinG 70 be duo Han-
ecom from Sept. II, 1877, 10 Jan. /, 1919,
was Si55, 800 81, while the amount ac-
tually due, "a shown on the expenditure
book, was $45,00e These were ceftiti-
Gates issued to Hanscom and farwell q
Co, as shown on the certificate book be
tween Jan. !, 1875, and Aug. 81, 1870,
amounting to $2S7, ,l89 s5 while the
requisition book only calls for S37, 900 as
due. The certificate book shows that

were issued to Delamontagnie from
July /. 1874, to Jan. j, 1875, while the
am cunt really due Is only $4,000. This
corroborates the statements OF farwell,
that he knew nothing OF the number OF

OF Delamontagnie to the same effect.
