No Extra Session.
The president has abandoned the idea OF
calling another session OF Congress by rea.
sou of three considerations. Tirst-Because

Latest Veto Message.
The president has vetoed can net making
appropriations to ppy fees of United States
marshals and their general Deputies" He
recites the different acts prescribing the du-
ties Of marshals, showing that 'they are, in
effect. the only police of the Z. 8. govern.
ment" and adds:
To deprive the national government of
these officers would be rs disastrous to so.
ciety as to abolish sheritfs, constables and
police officers in the several States. 1t
would be denial to the United States of the
right to execute its laws AMI denial of all
authority which requires the use Of civil
force.
The law entities these officers to be paid,
and the funds needed for the purpose have
been collected from the people and are now
in the treasury. No objection is therefore
made to that part Of the bill before me which
appropriatcs money for the support of the
marshals and deputy marshals OF The United
States.
The bill contains, however, other provi.
sions which aye identical in tenor and effect
with the second sections of the bill
entitled IAN act making appropriations for
certain judicial expenses, which on the
23d OF the present month was returned to
the House of Representatives with my OBJ
jections to its approval.
Having vetoed the former bill because it
contained these provisions, the President
vetoes this for the same cause, and refers to

Bad Harvests in England.
CHICAGO, June 3O.-A Times London spe.
cial says: The weather continues seriously
embarrassing to agricultural pursuits. An.
other bad harvest is expected, which means

creasing, which strengthens the cause of free
trade, though there is no improvement in
manufacturing. Foster, member Of Parlia.
ment for Bradford, made great anti.protec.
tion speech last night. He said that there
could be but one meaning OF protection or
reciprocity, and that was tax on food. The

tax.
