WASHINGTON, June 21,-The president
as sent to congress ITteen veto messages.
Thirteen of the vetoed measures are pri-
ate pension bills, the others provide for
public buildings at Sioux City, Ia, and
GAINESVILLE, o. The presidents action in
ietolng the appropriation for the Sioux
City building was unexpected. March 16
ie approved a bill giving S150,000 for a
building at Fort Smith. Ark, which has
cut 3, O99 population. May "a he approved
bill giving Wichita, Kan, $50 900 where
there is 1850 population. San Antonio,
Tex, with Is, 600 had an appropriation of
$500, 900 approved. Rochester, n. Y,
asked to increase the limit for building to
$500, 900 and the president approved that.
Ten days have not expired since the Des
Moines building bill passed for S153. 900.
There is great fear among the Iowa delega-
lion that the president will veto that. This
teton will arouse considerable excitement
md possibly an attempt will be made to
pass the building bills over the presidents
Feto. There is slight hope for the appro-
priations for Saltwater, Duluth, Mimi, and
Oshkosh, Wis, that had been considered
Iafe.
In his veto of the senate bill for public

THE PRESIDENT SAYS:
The report of the committee to whom this
bill was referred states that by the census of
1880 the population of Sioux City was nearly
$500 and that by another enumeration since
made its population would seem to exceed
p, GEO. 1t is further stated in the report that
for the accommodation Of this population the
city contains 1913 brick and 1854 frame build
Tags. 1t seems to me that in the conSldera-
ton of the merits of this bill the necessities of
the government should control the question,
and that it should be decided as business
proposition, depending upon the needs OF
government building. at the point proposed,
in order to do the government work. This
greatly reduces the value of statistics show
ing population, extent of business, prospect
i've growth and matters of that kind, which,
though exceedingly interesting, do not always
dem enstrate the necessity of the expenditure
Of large sum of money for 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 Seri-
Dus Inconvenience and without any expense
to the government. There are actually no
other federal Offices there for whom the gov
eminent in any view should provide accom-
nodationS, except the postmaster The post
office is now located in a building rented by
the government until the 1st of January,
1883, at the rate of $1,000 per anuum. By the
last report of the supervising architect, it APP
pears that on Oct. l, 1885, there were eighty
new public buildings in course of construc-
lion. and that the amount expended thereon
during the preceding year was nearly
e2,500,000, while large appropriations were
asked to be expended on these buildings dur
Ing the current year. In my judgment the
number of public buildings should not at this
time be increased unless greater public
necessity exists therefor than is apparent in
this caSe.'

SIOUX CITY, June 21.-General disap-
pointment was felt all around to-day when
kilograms were received that the president
had vetoed the bill appropriating 500, 900

efforts will be put forth to induce the pres
ident to reconsider the matter,
