Another Veto Coming.

Washington, June 12.-That the
president will veto the judiciary appro-
priation bill is foregone conclusion,
and the democrats are puzzled as to
what to do after this. Some of the
leaders threaten that they will immedi-
ately adjourn upon the veto being re-
ceived, and not pass judiciary appro-
priation bill in any shape; but if they
do this they are certain to be called
back within forty-eight hours. A
prominent democratic member of the
house says that he favors congress TAX
ing recess until the middle of Octo-
ber, and that the president will then
be powerless to call an extra session.
Democratic lawyers maintain that Con-
gress cannot be convened during re-
cess, and that this plan will checkmate
the president and force HIM to accept
such bill as congress may present to
him. For party reasons the republi-
cans would be glad TO have the demo-
Gratis adopt such a course, but they
have no idea that il will be done. The
belief prevails among republicans that
at the last minute the democrats will
make an unconditional surrender and
pass the judicial bill in shape to receive
the presidents signature.

The motion for new trial was over

Pacific Mail.

New York, June 12.-The Public to-
day speaking Of the Pacific Mail affairs,
states that the last steamer under the
contract has sailed, and the subsidy
ceases with this week. Then, if the
officers of the steamship company (who
are friends Of the Pacific railroads) do
uot very speedily find that they cannot
pay the Panama company. and If the
Panama officials do not very promptly
take possession of the vessels under the
bill of sale, there will be some reason
for surprise. The plain truth Is, the
company has been kept alive by its
contract with and subsidy from the
Pacifcroads which they have withdrawn
and that the recent election gave the
Panama road power to foreclose with
ease, neatness and dispatch the mort
gage held, and to take possession OF
the ships, which form the only compet-
ing line for traffic or travel between
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
