MUCH SPECULATION
As to Whom the Tariff Bill Will Go Into
Effect
What the knowing Ones In the Treas
ury Department Say on
the Subject.

There appears to be considerable misap-
;,rehension as to when the tariff bill will
take effect in the event Of its becoming u
law. All sorts of speculation have been in
dulged In with respect to this question.
Some wiseacres assert that 1t will take
effect Immediately after midnight of the
day on which it is signed, and other equally
knowing people are just as certain that 1t
will not take effect until just after mid
night OF the day Of action.
The Probable Time.
1t is agreed on all sides that the date
FAMED in the bill. August 1. cuts no figure
at all in the matter. A Star reporter who
investigated the question today was in
formed by an Official whose knowledge and
experience enables him to speak with au-
thcrity on the subject, that the bill will
become the law of the land the instant the
President affixes his signature to 1t, and
that II II Is allowed to become law with
out the Presidents approval it will go into
effect on the morning of the day following
the expiration Of the constitutional limit
WITHIN which 1t may be vetoed. which, in
the case of the tariff bill, will be Tuesday,
the 18th instant.
May he Signed This Week.
There are good reasons for the belief that
the President will dispose of the matter this
week. possibly Friday or Saturday. and the
officials of the Treasury Department who
are charged with the enforcement of the
bill are openly acting on the theory that
there will certainly be no change In exist
ing customs laws before Friday, at The
earliest. In case the bill is signed, tina,
fact will be Immediately communicated by
telegraph by customs officials at all the
ports of the United States in order that its
provisions may be put into uniform effect
at once at all ports. 1t is said at the Treas
ury Department that no questions arising
under the proposed law will be decided until
after 1t shall have been finally acted upon
by the President.
Thinks Cleveland VIII Not Sign 1t.
Chairman Wilson will probably take
trip to Europe soon after Congress ad-
journs. He has an invitation to take a trip
up the lakes and another to cross the ocean,
and he inclines to accepting the latter, as
it gives greater prospect of recuperating
his health. He wants to be back before
September closes, to begin his campaign in
West Virginia His health however will
not permit vigorous stamping tour. Nh.
Wilson, 1t is said. has received no intima-
ton as to what will be done with the tariff
bill He is confident. however. that the bill
will become a law, and he inclines to the
belief that it will become effective without
President Cleveland's signature. In this
event Congress cannot adjourn before next
Tuesday.
