VETO AWAITS III
EVEN IF BLAND'S BILL STRUGGLES
THROUGH CONGRESS.
a Bond Issue the Administrations Last
Resort to Avoid the Very Thing This
Bill Provides Dor-Carlisie Virtually
Gave Anti-Scignioragc Pledges to New
York Bankers.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2j.--If any doubts
have heretofore been entertained as to the
presidents 5 attitude on the silver seigniorage
question, those doubts seem to be entirely re-
moved by conversations had with the preSi-
deiit Just before his departure for North
CAROLINA. Those who have recently spoken
to the president on this subject, say that
when the bond issue was determined
upon, for the purpose OF relieving the
treasury of financial embarrassment, it was
for the very purpose of avoiding the neces-
sity for the coinage of the silver seignior-
age.
If the administration had seen its way
clear to the coinage of the scgniorage, it
could have raised almost as much money as
by its bond issue without increasing the
public debt or the annual interest thereon.
But the money the president wanted was
gold not silver.
1t is generally understood that Secretary
Carlisle on his visit to New York to encoul'-
age the subscriptions to the bonds, gave as
surances that the administration was and
would be opposed to the coinage Of the silver
seigniorage. Up to that point the subscrip-
tons to the bonds had Jagged. When
all the bonds We're subscribed for, but
before the money was paid intinations
were received here from New York that if
there was any prospect that the silver seig-
niorage bill, then emerging from the House
committee, would become a law. some of the
largest subscribers to the bonds would re-
fuse to take them. 1t was then that Sec
retary Carlisle, it is said, reiterated his op-
position to the silver seignorage bill, both
in the newspapers and to the committee on
judiciary of the House.

commanders in the Vermont National
Guard Gather for Mutual Instruction
aud Bcnefit-Papers by Col. kinsman
and Captain Tuthcrly.

Present arms and shake hands was the
order of things at the Van Ness House Mon
day evening, when the officers of the Yer
mont National Guard met one another for
the first time since the muster last summer.
They had come to Burlington to attend the
customary mid winter school which was this
year appointed to take place in the Queen City.
There were no privateS. All had a title
md the office Wore decidedly military look
until o'clock, the hour for school to begin.
Last evenings session was held in the large
y. NJ. c. \. hall and large percentage of
the officers of the National Guard answered
to their names when Lieut.. Col. and
Asst. Ad'ft. Cen LilliS called the
roll. Brig Gen Estey made a short ad-
dress, stating the objects OF the school and
what was expected of the officers. Gen. I.
s. Peck welcomed the officers to the Queen
city, Lieut. T. +. Hardin, 1th L. s. in
fantry, spoke briefly and Capt. Guy How
ard invited the officers to visit Fort Ethan
Allen to-day. Col c. c. kinsman read a
paper upon the practical management of II
company of the National Guard and how to
proceed if suddenly called into active ser
vice. Capt II. T. Tutherly, 1st L. S. Cav
airy. followed with paper upon customs of
the regular service applicable to the Nation
al Guard and practical soldering in the
fell. Both papers were interesting and of
practical value to the officers present.

CHURCH DEDICATED.


The Seventh Day Adventists' church on
WinoosH avenue, just above North street,
was dedicated Sunday afternoon. In size
and general appearance of the interior the
editice reminds one of the Berean Baptist
church. An anteroom opens out of the
larger main audience room. The walls are
tinted in harmonious colors and on the floor
is pretty carpet. The light enters through
colored glass windows 10y day and is fur
nished by electric lamps at night The seats
are rows of opera chairs. The cozy building
was filled yesterday afternoon at 2:30
o'clock for the dedicatory services. On the
platform We're Elders Van Horn Covert,
Purdon and Bicknell. Music was furnished
by chorus choir. The Introductory exer-
cises We're conducted by Elders Gov
ert, Furdon and Bicknell, and the
sermon was preached by Elder Van Horn
of Michigan, from the words in John I: -.
God Is a Spirit, - The speaker read
number of the % passages in the Bible which
show the distinction between the true God
and false gods, and enumerated some of the
latter. He said the sun was worshipped by
more people on the earth than was the true
God The moon, too, is worshpped by
many and different individuals worship al
most everything. The speaker defined
idolatry and said if we stop with nature we
nature up to God, we are worshipping the
true God. No man can worship God in
spirit unless the spirit dwell in him. We
must therefore become converted before we
can worship God as the Bible tells us to do.

THE CRISIS HAS PASSED.


NEW HAVEN, Cxn. Feb. 21.-Prof
Edward j. Phelps of Yale, passed another
comfortable day, and his physicians say that
the critical period of his illness has been
passed and that he is out of danger unless
an attack from some undeveloped symptom
should occur
1t is expected that Prof Phelps will soon
formally announce a discoutinuance of his
duties as Il Yale lecturer in the academic and
law departments, securing for himself a re
lease from active duties till next winter.
His original researches and observations
as minister to England and senior American
counsel in the Behring Sea case have made
him invaluable as a lecturer on internation-
al law and Yale students are greatly disap-
pointed at the anticipated loss.
Prof w. G. Robinson of the Law school
will probably succeed to Prof. Phelps, the
lectures being somewhat modified to suit
