HE WON'T BUDGE.
Cleveland Stands Firm in Re-
gard to Tariff Bill.
He Will Surely Let 1t Become a
Law it is Said.
BUT WON'T SIGN 1T.
Anxious Congressman Urge Him
to Sign the Bill.
It Would Help Them to Defend
1t in the Campaign.
BUT WON'T SIGN 1T.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-The president
remains firm in his purpose to let the
tariff bill become a law without his sig
nature. This. as was stated by the Asso-
ciated Press at the time, was his inten-
ton when he left Washington for Gray
Gables, and there is excellent authority
for the statement that Mr.. Cleveland
since his return has indicated that he is
of the same opinion as before he left
here.
A great deal of pressure has been and
is still exerting TO induce Mr.. Cleveland
TO forego his present purpose and to sign
the bill, either with or without some
message expressing his views, but the
president gave no encouragement to
those who have pressed views Of this
nature on his intention, and has lndi-
Gated that ne will allow the bill to be-
come law by expiration Of the ten days
clause Of the constitution.
The persons most urgent in suggesting
to the president that he sign the bill, are
members of congress who have repre-
senied very strongly to the president that
d signature for the bill will help them in
their defense of it in the coming cam
paign and that should it not have the
measure Of presidential approval indica-
ted by Mr.. Cleveland's signature. their
position the stump viii be embar-
ras ssed 10 some extent at least.
Speaker Crisp and number Of con-
gressmen have presented this view Of
the matter and the speaker SAW the
president today the subject > far
as can be'leArned the presidents attitude
has been one of patient listening to and
consideration Of the argument present
ed. but be has refrained carefully from
making any promises or giving encour-
agement 10 congressman who wish the
bill signed
A veto OF the bill. however, is not even
suggested 1t cannot 6ecome a law
without the presidential autograph until
next Monday and this being the case the
adjournment of Congress Will hardly take
place before next Tuesday.
The fact that il is MIR. Cieveland's pur-
pose to permit the bill 10 become a law
without his signature is also strong in
dIcatlon Of The mprobability Of any mes
sage on the I r If from he president.
Besides Speaker Crisp. who spent Dme
time with the pre- sldent III the discussion
of the tariff situation, Representative
McMIllin of Tennessee, Of Ihe ways aud
mems committee and one Of the house
conlerrees. also talked with Mr.. Cleve-
land. .SpeaSer Crisp told members Of
the house vino were anxious 10 ,-t away
that he thought the session would Last
until next TuesIty.
3lcMisI.n did not discuss the tariff bill
with he pres d sni. Chairman Wilson IS
expecs cd LacA from Wesi V4rginit today,
but he WAS not about the mouse during
the session.
