| clearly unconstitutional and void. As a war

| when dominated by the national forces the act

it was as much out of place and imperative as

Justice Strong dissented from the opinion of

Chief Justice Wait announced to the bar that

GENERAL CAPITAL NEWS.
THE VETO.
WASHINGTON, April 2S.-It is stated the Presi-
dent is preparing a message for the House Of
appropriation bill.
THE DRAFT PREPARED.
WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Fhere Is now no rea-
son for doubling that the President will veto
the army bill, and he has, after consultation
with the secretary of war, prepared the draft of
a message, which will be submitted to the cabi-
net at its meeting tomorrow and sent to the
House before adj jOurnment, IT time permits.
If not, the bill will be returned with the message
Wednesday. The President, it is said, takes
the view that the subject is of too vital i'm
portance to permit him to hold the country in
suspense to his action for any unnecessary
length of time and he will, therefore, announce
his decision promptly. It is also intimated
that be takes the ground that while there has
been no menace on the part of the majority of
Congress, as such, the declaration of acknowl-
edged leaders protesting to speak for their
party after caucus deliberations, amounts to a
virtual threat to the executive entirely unwar-
ranted by the relations which exist between the
eyecutiUa and SlatiVe branches Of the pOv,
ernment.

illness of only few hours. Mr.. Clark was in

sincere sorrow.
REFUN DING CERTIFICATES.
The treasury department is advised that the
instruction in the circular of April 1S, ,reservins
the refurding certificates for sale in sums not
to exceed one hundred dollars, are being evaded
for specu ative purposes and announces that
where such evasion is manifest or where any
person claims more than one hundred dollars,
either for himself others, the certificates will
be refused and the authority of any designed
depository who fails to enforce the regulation
will be withdrawn, and commissions will not
be allowed on sales by him. Owing to the
great pressure upon the department in the
| issue of the four per cent. bonds already sub.
scribed for and the redemption of called 5:2O
| and 10:40 bonds: the conversion of refunding
certificates into bonds will necessarily be post
