GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Feb. 24.-Robert
Fl. Morrison, of Sturgis, late treasurer of
the grand lodge of Odd Fellows of Michigan,
did not put in an appearance yesterday, as it
was reported he had telegraphed that he
would, and several of the grand officers told
your correspondent they had no doubt that
he
WAS DEFAuLTER,
and had left because of that fact. One of
them said he thought Morrison had sailed
for Europe. II is believed he left Sturgis
early yesterday morning. A telegram from
his wife stated that he left them, saying that
he was coming back here. Nothing is really
known of his whereabouts, but as he has
said he intended
GOING TO EUROPE
soon there is reason in the theory above adj
vanced. 1t is asserted that he has $6,778 of
the grand lodge funds in his possession, of
which So, 469 were received in cash this week
here. He is reported
TO BE IN ARREARS
to the Grand Encampment, of which lie was
treasurer for two years until last week, over
$4,000. He had been treasurer of the grand
lodge six years.

the National credit, yet his faith lis not equal

q AS for the secretary of the treasury, when
the bill goes into effect he will give the coun-
try all the silver it wants, limited only by
the limit fixed in the law Itself. The charge
upon the floor of the House to-day that Sher-
man would not, as an enemy, allow silver to
be coined dollar more than he could posi-
bly, help under the law, was made by mem
bers not well informed. If the silver move
ment is not success after it is made the law
OF the land, it will not be the fault of Secre-
tary Sherman. He will cause the silver dol
lars to be rained upon the country very cop
iously, and perhaps will not let up even after
the expected cries of Enough, enough" are
heard in the land. Sherman is not half
way man in this matter. 1t is very probable
that he will go the whole animal
Tonight the members, in private CONVEX
sation, declare themselves Indifferent
whether the President vetoes or not, but all
the friends of silver predict that the bill will
be passed over the veto by larger majority
than it has yet had. The truth is, the silver
movement is growing enormously. It is
]ikened to an epidemic. Few can stand
against the current, and some of those who
are attempting it allege that their legs are
becoming weak.
Washington Special (Feb. 22) Chicago Tribune.
The silver bill cannot reach the Presidedt
until Monday afternoon. The enrolled bill
must be signed by the Vice President and
Speaker in the presence of their respective
houses. 1t is to be presented to the cabinet
Tuesday. Prompt action is promised. All
who have conversed with the President
feel confident of q veto He told Western
member of Congress this afternoon, who
favors the bill, that it has in it an element
of dishonesty. This Congressman left con-
WINGED of veto. Another Congressman
went away believing the President would per-
NIT the billto become law without his sig
nature. Everything the President has
ever said, publicly OF privately, indicates
veto. He has privately indicated
make the bill acceptable to him. Two of
these would be, first, payment of the bonds
and duties in gold second, that silver be a
legal-tender for future contracts only. The
President, however, is understood to have
veto power, and not to be certain whether it
shonid be used when the question involved
is one of policy only. -Four members Of the
cabinet certainly are opposed to the bill.
The impression that he will permit the bill
to become law without his signature, how
ever, exisists in many quarters and may arise
from the fact that he has not positively said
he should veto it. Stanley Matthews is re-
ported as thinking the bill will not be vetoed;
Secretary Evarts as believing that veto can
be sustained. Conkling, in the event of
veto, is expected to lead a party to sustain

Matthews JYeuHc.ls.

Washington Special (Feb 2I to Cincinnati
Enquirer.
Tonight your correspondent called on
Senator Matthews to ascertain his views on
the passage Of the bill by the House, and the
Presidents probable action thereon. "Will
the President veto the bill?' queri>d the En-
qusrer man. Matthews stopped moment
to think and said, slowly, II think he will"
Then he proceeded to qualify his remark by
saying: ''If Secretary Sherman, when the
bill comes up for discussion in the cabinet,
would say to the President that it was useless
to kick against the pricks; that the bill was
bound to become law anyway, and it was
wiser to let it become a law at once, am
inclined to think the president might be
persuaded to allow the bill to
become a law without his signature.
Now, l know that Secretary Sherman
takes just this view of the subject, because
he told me SO. But, you see, Secretary
Sherman wrote letter last summer, affirm
ing that the bonds were payable in gold. and
the President Endorsed that letter-there is
where the rub is. 1t is quite likely, think,
that the President will veto the bill as
matter of consistency Your correspondent
then asked Mr.. Matthews what he thought
about the repeal of the resumption act, to
uc Itplltu ue llOU Luluk u
majority of the Senate could be secured for
repeal. He thought it quite likely that some
compromise measure would be carried, mas
much as it was manifestly impossible to re-
sumo January l, 1879. But he did not
think majority of the Senate would vote
either for unconditional repeal, or for the re-
peal of the date clause of the resumption
act. It will be observed that the Senator's
views now on the question of the veto, are
Numerically opposite to what they were
forty eight hours ago, which leads to the in
ference that he has received new light within
the past forty Eight hours. Charley Foster
says Hayes will veto the bill, and now that
Matthews weakens, it is an even chance that
veto will be forthcoming.

Washington Special (Feb. 21.) Cincinnati Com
mercial.
The President will veto the silver bill.
This is as reliable as anything that has been
sent from here on the subject, and much
more RELIABLE than the majority of pretended
authoritative paragraphs. He will veto it
because he conceives that he cannot help it;
that he is committed to it in every way that
an Executive can be committed. He knows
that the bill will be passed over his veto, and
that the strength of the silver movement con-
tinually grows, but he has committed himself
upon the other side so emphatically that there
remains no other course but to indicate his
opinions through veto, although convinced
beforehand that it can be of no practical
effect in stopping the silver wave Nor vii
the passage of the bill over his veto cause
him the regret that might be supposed a
the first view. If the law is success in it
practical workings and if all good and M
harm comes from it, and the predictions O
its warmest advocates are realized, no on
will be better pleased than the President

BELGRADE, Feb. 24.-The Russians have
occupied Pirates and Palankan, the Servians
withdrawing to Nisch. Prince Milan has sent
a protest to Grand Duke Nicholas against
the occupation. The Russians continue to
advance Prince Milan remains at Nisch
with strong force, and it is stated he will
refuse to evacuate the place.
Russo reports relative to the intention of
the Russians to march upon Constantinople
in consequence of the obstinacy of the
Porte in reference to the phase of negotia-
tions already past, that later news shows that
negotiations are progressing. The Agence

conference in Berlin if this would facilitate

about the cultivation of the strawberry;
"The following is part of Il statement run

through the country press, where hut few pro
TESS to know much on the subject: 1T has be-
come fairly settled, as the only sound method
of cultivating The strawberry, that the plants
must be kept free from runners. The effect OF
this practice is wonderful. The whole growth
of the plant Is concentrated by this means in
the original stock, and it enlarges until as
many as a quart of berries have been plucked
from a single plant And much more to this
effect Now, we have been raising strawber-
res for some thirty years, have tested all the
best varieties and we do not at all subscribe
to this doctrine. We deny that hill cultiya-
ton is the only sound method Some a. the
more rampant growcrs-likc Captain Jack,
Monarch, and Albany-may possibly do bet
ter by cutivating in hills and destroying the
runners; but we have dltr0ys obtained large
crops from allowing the runners pretty full
liberty. We have had very large crops Tor siN
years from the same vines by this system,
twice as long as hills are cultivated The rea-
son of this is that every year We have fresh
bearing vines, with large fruit. whereas IN the
hills the old stools are depended on, and they
naturally yield smaller berries each year.
I'VE venture TO say, Judging from our own
observation. that three ont Of four persons re-
ject the hill culture and allow the runners
