requirements OF the bill to vessels coming
from foreign ports where any contagious

terring, as in the original bill, to vessels
coming from any foreign port, and pro-
vide that the quarantine regulations
framed by the National Board Of Health
shall, as far as possible, be merely supple

the state and municipal authorities and be
conided to them for enforcement, il they

Another Veto Not Improbable.
WAsHtSdroN, May 9.-Therc hes beena
powerful pressure brought upon tho Presi.
dent to-day to convince him that he should
veto the Democratic caucus bill as to
troops ae the polls, The President had
determined to sign the, bill before the
Republican caucus had pronounced upon
it, and so expressed himself to several
gentlemen. He thought the Democrats
had met every objection raised in his veto
message, and underthese circumstances he
thought it his duty to sign the bill, although
well aware that there would be clamor
among his party friends. But he did not
fairly estimate the volume Of clamor, aud
he now finds himself fairly overwhelmed
with pFotoatations against such course,
Some OF theablsst OF the Republicans are
urging him to veto and pointing out what
they regard asthe dangerous points in the
bin, one OF which is that it suspends a
constitutional function OF the Executive,
and another that its ambiguous wording
will cause confusion which nothing but
the courts can settle, a,.. g.4rg,E 3
Attorney General DeVers has bean busy
to-day looking up authorities bearing on
this point, and he has had the assistance
OF the ablest Republican lawyers at the
Capital. Besides authorities, the Presi-
dent has received personal appeals from
leading Republican Senators and Repre-
sentatiyes not to sign the bill, as by so
doing he merely bows TO tho mandates OF
the Democratic caucus, which will become
insatiate in It's demands. II Is needless to
saw that partisan view ot the case is also
strongly pressed upon the President. It
| Is represented to him that the Democratic
blundersis have got their party intoahole,
and there Is no salvation for them unless
the President let's tbeM opt. Unless he
does, they must back out, which will DO
almost as ruinous as 10 cut off the appro-
priations. 1t is represented to the Ptesi-
/ don't that nothing can save the Demo-
cratic party from irretrievable and over
!. wheiming defeat this fall, but his sigma
ture 10 their caucus bill. He is urged to
stop mn the only hole by which the blum
dering Democrats can escape, and let
them wiggle. On the other hand, not p
single Republican Of prominence is urging
him to sign the bill. Thelr, pressure ls oil
the other way, and the matter is involved
in some doubt.
