whine President Veto

Among the special Washington tele-
grams TO todsy's Chicago Herald. ap-
pepears the following:
The senate agreed to the conference
report ON the river ant harbor bill The
frienjs of the measure are greatly alarm
ed at report received at The capito. today
that President Harrison is determ ined to
veto the bill. The report is circulated on
the authority of one of the highest off,
Gals of the war department, one whose
duties directly relate to river and hsrbcr
Improvements. This official does not
say definitely that the president will not
sign the bill, but he says he greatly fears
he will not. The bill is unusually large
this year. the total sum appropriated be-
ing $24, 9S1,295. 1t has now passed
Cresson Springs at once. The men in
the house who have had the bill in charge
admit that there is serious cause to fear
that the president will not sign the bill
They have endeavored unsuccessfully for
several weeks to induce him to signify
his fr!endliness to it. and now they are
almost despairing. However, these mem.
bers have been quietly canvassing the
house during the past few days and they
privately express the opinion that they
will have votes enough to pass the bill
over a presidential veto should one be
forthcoming. In case a veto is sent in, it
is said the president will probably recon-
mend an appropriation of $15. 600. 600 to
be expended under the direction of the
secretary of war in carrying on work al
ready begun.
