Of more than forty years standing which
have been sanctioned by the courts and
recognized by congress. He cites numerous
decisions of the United States supreme
court recognizing the right Of the exec
utive departments to set apart, or re-
serve or withdraw from settlement portions
of the public lands without the express
authority of congress. He encloees copies
of the decisions, proclamations and other
forms OF orders by which entries upon GER
tain tracts OF land have been prohibited
from 1928 to the present day, and attaches
maps showing the location and extent OF
such lands and the purposes for which they
have been reserved. He argued that the
only question remaining is the extent to
which the right to suspend the operation
OF the laws governing the public lands
authority to suspend the land laws in re.
lation to 1000 or 10000 acres he must
have the right to apply that authority to an
indefinite number of acres. II he can
withdraw from settlement certain town
ship, why not all townships when neces-
sity exists therefor7 Having convinced
himself that the authority was vested in
him, and recognizing the necessity for it's
exercise he issued his order. The rush OF
land seekers to the West is unprecedented,
because it was believed that congress would
repeal the presumption and timber culture
acts, and 1T nearly every land Office the en-
tries are SO numerous that the officials are
compelled to work night and day and then do
not keep up with current business. This great
demand was for speculative purposes and
not for actual settlement; and, after con-
sultation with the most distinguished
members Of the Senate and house Of repre-
sentatives. he decided to issue the order
and suspend the operation OF the law until
congress had acted upon the bill repeating
them.
He justifies his action as necessary for
the protection Of the public domain from
thieves and swindlers, and rather reflects
upon Secretary Lamar for revoking it.

quirements. For four months ending May
l the apparent consumption was about
90, 900. 600 BUSHELS according to our cal
culations the exports ure reported a. hav-
ing been about 81, 600, 900 bushels during
this timo. This would make an aggregate
OF 124, 900, 900 bushels disposed Of leaving
$50, 600. 900 bushels as the aggregate sup
ply on May l.
The statement OF the department OF agri-
culture now quoted in speaking OF the sup
plies OF wheat and -four not embraced with
in its exhibits says the addition Of this
quantity might suffice for the consump-
ton for two months" Az 81, 600, 900
bushels 10 given as an estimate OF the ma
tural requirements for consumption" for
four months, from May to Sept. !, it
would follow that about AZ, 600, 600 bushels
is accepted as approximating these sup
plies OF wheat and -four, which quantity
ported stocks OF wheat, makes an aggregate
OF LAG, 600, 900 bushels as theimplied total
for the entire country OF wheat and -four,
as compared with the Price Currents
estimate Of $50, 900, 600 bushels
for the same date. The probable position
on July 1, il estimated az follows: With
consumption about $4,000, 900 and ex-
imately 65, 600, 900 bushels disposed Of
in two months. (This rate OF consumption
exceeds tho official calculation.) Deduct
ing Go, 900, 900 from $50, 900. 900 as the
supply on May leaves 80, 900, 900 bush
els as the indicated supply for July 1. In
as much as wheat to some extent in mar
keted from the new crop in June. and quite
considerably in July, it is not much out
OF the way to assume that the current
disposition OF wheat after the 1st OF July
will be practically covered by the market
ing ofthe new crop, so that the calculation
for July will be substantially the mini
mum point in tho question OF available
supply.

Tho President Disapproves Fifteen Bills
Moatly Pension. and Reads Congress An
other Lecture.


Washington, Special Telegram, June 81 !.
Those who have been watching to sea what
effect the presidents wedding would have
upon his official Conduct got a good denl
OF Information to-day. Assistant Secre-
tary Pruden carried an armiul OF vetoes
to the capitol, which he divided about
equally between the senate and the house.
Thevetoed measures numbered fifteen. Thir-
teen are private pension bills. and the
others provide for public buildings at Sioux
City, Iowa, and Zanesville Ohio. Accom-
panying the vetoes was q message in
which the president scolded congress for
ing "reconsidered legislation,' and it reads
as follows:
I am so thoroughly tired OF disapprov-
ing gifts OF public money to individuals
who, in my Wow, have no right or claim to

gressional sanction, that I interpose

gress, but are the result OF nominal SEES.

consideration and attended by a small
minority of the members OF the houses OF
the legislative branch OF the government.
Thus, in considering these bills, have not

dependence resulting from such suffering
are entitled to the benefits of their govern
ment. This reflection lends the bestowal
OF pensions kind OF sacredness which in
vites the adoption OF such principles and
regulations as will exclude perversion as
well as insure q liberal and generous appli.
cation OF grateful and benevolent designs.
Heedlessness and disregard OF the principle
which underlies the granting of pensions is
unfair to the wounded, crippled soldier who
is honored in the just recognition OF his gov
eminent. Such a man should never find
himself side by side on the pension roll
with those who have been brought to at
tribute their natural ills to which human
ity is heir, to service in the army. Every
relaxation OF principle in the granting OF
pensions invites applications without
merit and encourages honest men to be-
come dishonest. Thus is the demoralizing
lesson taught the people that as against
the public treasury the most questionable
expedients are allowable.
The president suggests the significance OF
the startling increase in pension legislation
and the consequences involved in it's con-
tinuance.
The president vetoed the Sioux City
postoffice bill. His message is as follows:
The report ofthe committee to whom this
bill was referred states that, by the census
Of $780, the population of Sioux City was
nearly 5000, and that by another emu
meration since made its population would
seem to exceed %, 900. It lie further stated
in the report that for the accommodation OF
this population the city contains 393 brick
and 2, 984 frame buildings. 1t seems to me
that in consideration Of the merits Of this
bill the necessities Of the government should
control the question, and that it should

pending upon the needs oil a government

duces the value Of statistics showing popu-
lation. extent OF business, prospective
growth and matters of that kind, which,
though exceedingly interesting, do not al
ways demonstrate the necessity OF the ex-
penditure OF q large sum OF money for q
public building. find upon examination
that United States courts are sometimes
held at Sioux City, but that they have
been thus far held in the county court
house without any serious inconvenience
and without any expense to the gov.
eminent. There were actually no other
federal officers here for whom the governs
ment in any view should provide accom-
InOdatIons, except the postmaster. The
postoffice is now located in building rent
ed by the government until January /,
1889, at the rate Of $4,000 per nnnum.
By the last report Of the supervising arch;
itect it appears that on October 4, 1885,
there were eighty new public buildings in
course ri construction, and that the
amount expended thereon during the pre-.
millions Of dollars, while large appropria-
tions were asked to be expended on these
building during the current year. In my
Judgment the number Of buildings should
not at this time be Increased unless .
greater necessity exists than In this case.

Six Early Potatoes.

On the first day of April last there
were planted on the Minnesota Univer-
sity Experimental Farm whole tubers
of six varieties of potatoes. The
ground is q rich loan with hut little
sand, has a southern exposure, and
has been used for gardening the past
three seasons; it was heavily MANFRED
this year and again this spring. The
potatoes were hoed and cultivated
three times during the season, and
hilled slightly during the last hoeing.
Their growth was steady and even, and
as the cultivation was exactly the same
for all the sorts, the comparative re-
suits given below will be of interest.
Beginning on July 10th the different
varieties were tested, one kind being

A Scoundrei's Adventure

A Montreal letter says that about a
year ago young man calling himself
Henry Chetwynd arrived in Montreal
from England. He was about thirty
years of age. handsome and we'll built.
He claimed to be connected with one
of the first English families. He had
with him six large trunks. which he
said contained his wardrobe. He always
had plenty money ami spent it freely.
He soon ingratiated himself iuto the
confidence of the people. and was in
vited to all the balls and parties, and
was quite lion in society. He seemed
to have and unlimited supply of
clothes of the most fashionable cut.
He was here about three months when
a young lady. daughter Of prominent
broker in this city and one well-known
in society, fell in love with him. After
a short courtship he proposed to her
and was accepted. Their marriage
was celebrated with great pomp and
display. lie rented house on Sher-
brooke street, the most fashionable
street in Montreal, and fitted it up with
great splendor. Balls and parties
were held there in great confusion.
About a month ago. however, an
other person appeared on the scene.
She was very pretty woman and
claimed the Britisher as her husband.
Then the fellow disappeared suddenly
and so did the woman. This created a
great sensation among the society
people here, and much sympathy was
expressed for the young lady who had
married Chetwynd. 1t was ascertained
that the fellow left considerab num-
Der of unpaid accounts behind him.
Chetwynd's real name is Barton and
he was the treasurer of an English
theatrical company. He had skipped
to Montreal with the funds of the COM
pany, and the woman who had fol-
lowed him from England was an
actress of the company whom he had
married and deserted. It is supposed
that the two have gone to the States
together. The young lady whom he
had married in Montreal has entered a
convent. This is another illustration
of how easy il is for an adventurer TO
come to Montreal and force his way in
to the highest society and then de-
camp, after perhaps marrying and
running up a large assortment of bills.
Another notable example was the
"Count De Nuevelle." who is now
serving a term in St. Vincent de Paul
Penitentiary.
