THE FACTS BEHIND THE VETO
Statement as to How the President Came

" Not hS hc Dlu,
The true inwardness OF the veto NAV
never be entirely made public, but enough
has been asccrtaincd to place beyond doubt
the statement that the veto was induced
by Mr.. Conkling after u long period of hesi.
tation on the part of the president. | am
assured the ex-senator, when the bill be-
gan to assume unusual proportions, de.
lcrmlncd to secure veto. The president
Is strongly in favor of the improvement
of the Mississippi, but to this Mr.. Conk.
ling was opposed. Mr. Arthur believes
strongly. in the west, and believes the
proper improvement of the Mississippi
would IN the iuture prove such u CONNER
urally the transportation question in the
west, and save 1t from the abuses of The
railway monopoles which ut present alllct
the east where the railways have no nat.
ural competitors, and the people are COM
PEELED TO rely for protection upon the ac-
ton of unreliable legislatures. Mr.. Conk.
ing thinks little OF river improvements.
and much OF railroads. He believes Il 10
be an axiom that transportation mainly
moves east and west, and must depend al.
together on artificial highways, and re-
CARDS 1t as absurd to expect that conditions

Mr.. Conkling insists that the Mississippi
river, IN provement schemes are devices
OF the southern states to secure plum
der irom the national treasury al
the expense OF northern enter
prise and taxpayers. Mr.. Conk-
lings recent visit to Washington was for the

dent was found rather firmly determined

IT is expected that the house naval
committee will have authority to sit dur

be made necessary through the intention
of the administration to reorganize the

If the naval committee is not authorized
to sit during the session it will be neces-
safy to have special commission ap-
pointed to go into the subject ofiron-clads,
the latest styles in the construction of
vessels, and the like. At best, it will afford
a very nice summer trip for number of
statesmen, as the points to be visited for
experimental observation are all upon
