WASHINGTON, March 26.--Last Thurs.

ridge case objection was made, by
counsel for Miss Pollard, to evidence
contained in dispositions presented by

age; conversations regarding her. had

Some of the objections were sus-

Y sHisoros, March %. The an
nouncemcnt That President Cleveland
had made up his mind TO veto the
seiguiersge bill during the coming
week receives every confirmation in
the opinion 81 those best qualified to
know tie presidents intention. The
statement TINT the president will veto
tho bin IS based upon information
from source high and very close TO
President Cleveland The attitude OF
Secretary Carlisle toward the bill,
which has changed several times since
lis first Introduction in the house, is
believed to he in accordance with this
decision Of his official chief
Representative Bland, the author OF
the bill has several times said he fear
ed Secretary Carlisle would ultimately
cast his influence In favor of veto.
The truth Is, however, that the presi-
dents action will be entirely
independent Of his secretary OF
the treasury. The atmosphere
Of the treasury department has,
during the past week, been distinctly
favorable tothe bill, but Secretary Car.
Isle himself has cautiously refused to
authorize any statement Of his attitude
further than to cause semi-official de.
nial o. the statement that during his
visit 10 New York to facilitate the re-
cent bond saic he had promised certain
bankers. ON behalf Of the administra-
zion. that Tie seigniorage bill would
rot become law
The strongest argument urged for a
veto Of the seigniorage bill, and which
the president will undoubtedly make
use d il aiiis veto message, is that the
Band bill would be a mandatory law,
requiring the secretary Of the treasury
TO DO what ne already has the discre,
ton to do under the act Of 1890 known
rs the sherman law. This is to coin
the bullion already in the treasury
