He WILL NOT SIGN IT.
Cleveland Will Let the Tariff Bill
Become Law by Limitation.
Congressman VainIy Urge Him to
Change His Mind.
They Say His signature VIII Aid
Them in the Campaign.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-The Presi-
dent remains firm in his purpose to let
the Tariff bill become "A law without his
signature. This. as was stated by the
Associated Press at the time, was his
intention when he left Washington for
Gray Gables. and there is excellent
authority tor the statement that Mr..
Cleveland. since his return, has indi-
Gated that he is of the same opinion as
before he left here.
A great deal of pressure has been and
is stil being eXerted TO induce him to
foreEo his present purpose and to sign
the bill. either with or without some
message expressing his views, but the
President gave no announcement to
those VINO have pressed views of this
nature upon his attention, and has indi-
Gated that he will allow the bin TO be-
come law by expiration of the ten
days claus. of the Constitution.
The persons most urgent in suggesting
To the President that he sign the bill
are members of Congress who have
represented very strongly that "A sigma
ture of the bill will help them consld-
erably in their defense OF II in the
coming campaign, ana that should IL not
have the measure Of Presidential APP
prevail indicated by MIR. Cleveland's sig
nature their position on the stump Will
be embarrassed TO some extent at east.
Speaker Crisp and number of other
congressman have presented this view
Of the matter, and the Speaker saw
Mr. Cleveland to-day ON the subject.
So far as can be learned the Presi-
dents attitude has been one of patient
listening To ana cons Iteration Of the ar
Guments presented, but he has RETAINED
carefully from making any promises or
giving encouragement to Congressman
who wish the bill signed. \ veto OF
the bill, however, is not even suggested,
1t cannot become law without the
Presidential autograph until next Mon
day, and, this being the case, the ad-
iOurnmcnt Of Congress will hardly take
place before next Tuesday
The fact that II is MIR. Cleveland's pur-
pose TO permit the bin to become a law
without his signature is also Il strong
indication of the imprphabllty OF any
message on the tariff from the President.
Even before the reading Of yesterday
journal in the Senate to-day the absence
Of quorum WAS pointed out by MIR.

Forms of Religious Music.

Besides the opera there IS only one
apartment OF music in which Schu-
bert has not in some of his efforts
reached the highest summit OF mu-
steal achievement. His sacred com
positions, although very beautiful
from purely musical point OF view,
usually lack the true ecclesiastic at
mospbere-a remark which may he
applied. in a general way. TO Hayden,
and Mozart, too To my mind. the
three composers who have been most
successful in revealing the Utmost
spirit OF religious music are Pales-
tina, IN which Roman Catholic mu-
sic attains its climax; Bach. who en-
bodies the Protestant spirit, and
Wagner, who mas struck the true
ecclesiastic chord in the Pilgrims

pecially in the first and third acts

three masters. other composers ap-
pear to have made too many conces-

factoTs-of course, not without ex-
ceptiOns One of these exceptions is
MO4art's s'Requiem," especially the
ssDies Irae," which MOVES US as few
compositions do, and attunes the
soul to reverence and worship. Such
exceptions may also be found among

viduals, like the sense of humor.=
