yDONNELL's SECRET MISSION

HOMESTEAD. Pa, Aug. 8. 1ss2.-Thers is
considerable excitement here this morn
ing over report from Duquesne that the
mills there were started up this morning,
and that nearly all the old employees have
returned to work.
The members Of the Homestead Ad yis-
ory Committee had received assurances,
it is said, that the Duquesne sympathy
strikers would stand by them to the last.
and II the report that they have now
given in proves true, it may cause a
break in the ranks here.
Battery B will probably leave here
today. and the Fifth Regiment may be
ordered home tomorrow This will thin
out the militia in camp here, and it is net
improbable that the disgust and excite
ment over the Duquesne surrender may
then be followed by assaults on the nom
union workers. The situation seems to
growing critical once more.

vrseland-Kaiser Saloon War.

The row between Peter Vresland, pro-
prietor of Metropolitan Hall, Greenville,
and Joseph Kaiser, the proprietor of the
saloon at the Hall. promises to become
more lively and interesting The saloon
has been closed for severa weeks by order
of Mr.. Vreeland in spite of the fact that
Mr.. Kaiser leased the premises. On
Saturday, however, Mr.. KAISER opened his
saloon, and now Mr.. Vreeland threatens
to make things uncomfortable for Kaiser
If he does shut up shop.
The row started when the Board of AL
dermen granted license to Kaiser. Vree-
land, it appears, tried to work out Kaiser,
and also applied for license for the
same place. His application was not
granted. and now he is erecting a one
story shanty on the property Immediately
adjoining Kalser's saloon, and has made
another application for license. If the
license is granted there will be interest
ing times.

Do They Connect?
The body of an unknown man was
found in the Hudson, opposite the Will
son Line pier at the foot of Third street,
early yesterday morning. The man ap-
peared to be about thirty-five years old,
with dark mustache and hair. He ap-
Deared to be Frenchtnan. When found,
the body was entirely naked, no marks
of violence were found, and il is supposed
the man Went In for swim and was
drowned. Coroner Parslow wasnotified,
aud removed the body to the mofgue.

Is THE VETO LEGAL ?
Judge KennY's Notable Suggestion
Concerning the Tax Budget.

Judge Kenny. an ex-member of the
Board Of Finance. has raised a question
as to. the right and power of Mayor
Wanser to veto the tax budget.
Justice Kenny takes the position that it
is beyond the legal scope of the Mayors
power to veto it. He points to section
l6 of the new charter of 1889, which
reads:-
And the said Board of Finance here
in provided shall also be invested with
and shall perform all the powers and du-
ties now exercised by any Finance Com
mlttee of any Board of Alder
men or Common Council in any
OF this city In regard to the control aud
management Of the finances of any city,
OF the levying of taxes. and fixing the an
nual tax or tax levy or tax ordinance of
any city"
Judge Kenny openly states that it is
his opinion that when the tax budget is
once made up 1t must stand.
1T has been custom,n said Judge
Kenny "to present the budget to the
Mayor for approval, but such an action is
not mandatory
Secretary Weart disagrees with Judge
Kenny and cites section l9 Of the new
Charter, which gives the Mayor the
rlgnG TO veto the acts, item ordi-
nance or resolution of any city Board" !"
Mr.. Weart argues that the budget is a
resolution as much as anything else, and
that the Mayor was acting legally in
vetoing items in the budget.
The Board of Finance will meet tomor-
row morning. The members of the Board
have not reached any agreement and it is
highly probable the right of the Mayor
to veto the tax budget will be carried
into the courts.
Mayor Wanser, backed by the legal ad-
vice Of his Secretary, will insist upon a
recognition of his veto.
The question raised by Judge Kenny
has caused considerable excitement in
political circles.
