Sacramento daily record-union., 1882-05-04

the discussion In the Senate tni5 afternoon on
the question of printing the report of the Sec
retary of War, showing how so much money
was used for travelling and similar purposes
in the army, Senator Plumb said this thing
of ordering army officers from one place to
another, that they might visit their families
or sweethearts, had become an outrage and
should be stopped. He said it was very nice
for an officer to have an order to visit place
which he wanted to visit, because tnat order
provided for all his expenses. There was no
necessity for so many officers here in Wash
ington. He thought the matter ought to be
the subject Of Congressional investigation.
The Chinese Bill.
WASHINGTON, May 3d.-Some of the
strongest opponents of the Chinese bill say
they believe the President will veto the bill
az it passed the House last night, but it Is
generally believed that he will cencede some
thing and sign it, rather than endauger the
psrty's chances on the Pacific coast by further
delay.
WASHINGTON, May 3i.-The House went
into Committee of the Whole to-day before
the enrolment of the Chinese bill and its
comparison with the original manuscript had
been completed. The committee did not rise
until o'clock P. NJ, and the announcement OF
its enrolment and signature by Speaker
Keifer occurred too late to admit of its being
signed to-day by the presiding officer of the
Senate, that body having previously az
journed; hence the bill will not reach the
President until tomorrow. But the delay
is probably inmaterial, in view of the fact
that the measure would not in any event be
likely to receivs his signature in advance of
its being laid before the regular Cabinet meet
ing next Friday.
