WASHINGTON, June 22.-The army bill anc
extra judicial bill reached the President yes
terday afternoon The army bill will b@
signed, the other certainly will be vetoed
The President signs the army bill because
be thinks the construction put upon the
limitations of use of the army at the polls
is strained one and not at all warranted by
the facts in the case. He says that all of the
talk about the army being used at the polls
is the veriest humbug, that there has been
no such action under his administration, and
that there is no intention of such using,
and that such concessions have been made
in the bill as to leave only limitations
that practically exist under the present
statutes. The veto message upon the judi
,cial bill will be sent early in the week. Its
character is outlined in the Republican OBJ
jections made to its passage in Congress,
that it practically nullifed the existing elec-
ton laws. The President dwells upon the
importance of proper guarantees for honest
elections. The Judicial bill practically re-
suits in repeal of the election laws, and
through its omissions is as Objectionable as
the bill already vetoed containing restric-
tions upon expenditures of money under the
election laws. If the Democrats
ADJOURN CONGRESS WITHOUT PROVIDING FOB
COURTS
the President will call Congress together at
onee. Senator Bayard says the Democrats
will ultimately pass the bill without restric-
tions, but it is doubtful whether this happy
arrangement can be made secure without an
other extra session. a
CUBAN SLAVERY.
Mr.. Cox, chairman of the committee on
foreign affairs, has been instructed by his
committee to report favorably the joint re-
solution referred to them in May, requesting
the President to use his good efforts for the
emancipation of the slaves of Cuba, and to
governments if posslble,a ,as will most speedily
and humanely bring this about. From CORES
pondence on file in the state department
placed before the committee it appears that
other powers as well as our own we're assured
when the rebellion in Cuba ceased that the
home government would take steps for the
emancipation of the slaves and other re-
forms. The committee in its report to the
House will state that in its opinion now is
the proper time to call the attention of
Spain to her promises. The Southern mem
bers of the committee are not averse to the
report.
INVESTIGATIONS.
The Kellogg -Spoford committee is to
continue taking testimony during the recess.
thus far has not helped Spofford. The
ingalls, investigation will sit during the re-
cess.
Senator Blaine has left. Washington, and
may not return for some time unless the ses-
sion is greatly prolonged.
THE JUDICIAL BILL.
Regarding the present situation of Con
gress, it is said there we're twelve or fifteen
Democrats in the House, possibly as many
in the Senate, who arc not willing that
Congress shall adjourn without passing the
supply bills. They are particularly unwil-
ling that the department of public service
that comes so directly home to the people
as the United States courts should be closed
for want of funds. The question occurs.
will the Democrats adjourn Congress and
allow the judicial bill to fail? Will they
have another long discussion on the subject
continuing through intense July heats, fol
lowed by another deadlock and another ad
journment without passing the bill? Will
tnere De democrats enough 1Ound TO unite
with the Republicans to pass the Judicial
bill without political riders? There were
yesterday some indications that the latter
course would be pursued.
