THE PRESIDENTIAL VETO.

If the Latter Passes.


WASHINGTON. ID. c.. March S-The
statement Is made by one OF the most
prominent men in public life that Presi-
dent Cleveland will veto the Bland seig-
nioragc bill II 1t passes the Senate. This
gentleman talked with the President yes
terday regarding the matter, and the
reason given is that the bill would be de-
structive Of the repose which now sur
rounds the financial condition of the coun'
try. and further, that 1t would tend 10
weaken our credit abroad
Secretary Carlisle is known 10 be un-
favorable to the bill. and he Is understood
TO have represented to the President that
the money that would result from the
coinage OF the seigniorage is not needed,
and that 1t Is his intention TO issue what
ever bonds may be necessary TO supply
the deficiency in the national Treasury,
and this without any regard TO the con-
tention raised that this money ought only
TO be used in compliance with the terms
Of the resumption act.

OMAHA, March 21.-No conferences were

this morning. as the result of the suggps-
tiOn by the latter that the various branches
of labor prepare schedule of what they

way to reach decision.
Accordingly the various branches went
to work on the schedules. The engineers
completed their schedule by noon and
then went into conference. The telegra.
pliers. who had already presented their
schedule 10 Superintendent Korty, con-
tinued their session with him during the

Clark. withdrew TO await the conclusion

THE REVENUE PRODUCED.
Estimates Claim That Ii Will Be
Ample.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-The estimates
OF the amount of revenue which the tariff
bill reported TO the Senate will furnish
will probably show that the total amount
will be about 1881. 100000. This is a
reduction OF between S13,000,OOO and
S14 O00 600 from the estimates IN the first
bill reported to the committee.
rhe principal reduction is made In the
internal-revenue part of the bill through
the restoration OF the present tax rate on
domestic cigars and cigarettes, which
amounts to a loss of over $4,000. 900.
There will be a falling off on tin plate
caused by changing the duty on that i'm
portation from / Ills cents to l cent a
pound.
The change in the fruit schedule, where
by bananas, pineapples and cocoanuts are
taken from the dutiable list, will make up
the other principal items OF loss. AS the
bill stands. if the estimate is correct, i;
will produce at least $50. 100000 more of
revenue than will be needed.
The change made in the sugar schedule
will not cause showing in the estimates
different from the subcommittee bill, as

assuring.

Rio DE JANEIRo, March d.--The Portu-
guese warships were allowed TO leave the
harbor under the stipulation imposed by
the Brazilian Government that Admiral da
Cana and the insurgent officers and men
who are with him should remain on board
the Portuguese ships when the question of
their ultimate destination has been settled
between the two governments.
The International complications arising
from the revolt are assuming grave aspect.
There is considerable excitement in re-
gard to the action of Portuguese naval
, fficers. who have so far protected Admiral
Da Cana and the insurgents who are with
him.
1t is feared the action OF the Portuguese
in giving shelter to the rebels will lead TO
a dan erous condition of affairs. This is
all the more likely, as it appears Presi-
dent Peixoto has obtained possession of
important document, which show beyond
a doubt that certain European vessels sys-
tematically gave aid to the insurgents.
New YORK, March 2l.-The herald's
Montevideo special says: A vessel flying
a foreign flag supposed to be that of Ar
gentine and carrying valuable cargo of
arms and ammunition for Peixoto has
been seized by Mello.
Passengers arriving at Montevideo on
the mail steamer report that il is doubtful
if Moraes will have a majority of the
votes for President. FlorIano Peixoto
will accept a dictatorship. 1t is said a
majority of the army is anxious to pro-
claim him President for ten years.

HE MAY YET ESCAPE.
The Murderer of Mayor Har-
riSon Has a Chance.
Prendergast Is Refused His Petition
by the Court and he May Be
Executed Tomorrow.

OTTAWA. ILL.,, March 21.-The Illinois
Supreme Court has refused to grant
supersedeas in the case of Prendergast,
the murderer of Carter Harrison, who is
sentenced to hang Friday.
AS calmly as if allowing lItigant ten
DAYS in which TO file abstracts and briefs
Chief Justice Baker this afternoon killed
the last hope of Prendergast of further
movement in the courts for a stay # pro-
ceedings or a new loophole by which he
NAV escape outraged Justice.
The Judges filed solemnly into the
courtroom, and after a few unimportant
decisions in civil cases, Chief Justice
Baker opened the docket at the criminal
page and said:
people No. 81. Prendergast VS.. The
People; motion for writ of error. and
that the writ be made writ of superse-
deas. The court has carefully examined
the record. abstract and briefs in full and
has concluded TO deny the application.
This was all, but it decided that the
judgment Of Judge Brentano's court and
the conduct of the trial of the murderer of
Carter Harrison had been fully Endorsed
by the highest court of Illinois, and that
the case was practically closed forever
All that can now interfere between
Prendergast and death ON Friday is the
Governors respite, aud the latter is abb
sent from the State. Mr.. Gregory, who
was in Ottawa, said the Governor
would be asked for reprieve, and that an
application would be made to the United
States court for writ of habeas corpus,
on the ground that the State court mis-
construed the constitution of the United
States.
CHICAGO, March 21.-Prendergast was
apprised by the authorities of the Jail i'm
mediately after the announcement was
made, and all be had in his pockets was
taken from him. He made great protest
when they took his pencil.
IF am going to die, will need that"
he said, II have some serious writing to
do"
Prem dergast's attorneys at q late hour
this evening reported that they had
seen the United States Judges in
this city ami placed the matter before
them. Their point was that the State
court refused Prendergast permission to
appear as his own attorney. The Federal
Judges agreed to consider the points
raised and will render decision to-
morrow.
Upon his application to Judge Woods for
writ of habeas corpus Judge Bum, Sea-
men and Jenkins met Judge Woods and
from $50 until midnight they considered
the constitutional points raised aud an

The Grand Old rlan Reviews the
Sixty Years Which He Has Spent
in Parliament.

LONDON, March 21.-Mr. Gladstone re-
Gently received an address from his con-
sttuenis in Midlothian in which he was
requested to continue to represent that
parliamentary borough in the House of
Commons. Replying, Mr.. Gladstone has
written a letter declaring that his chief
desire will be to follow the wishes of the
constituents he re resents. He adds:
There will naturally be a change in my
attendance in Parliament. / cannot yet
judge how far my sight and hearing will
disable me from performing Parliamentary
duties.
"As to the merits or demerits of my
career. and certainly / have been charge
able with many errors of judgment. hope
have at least been governed by upright
ness of intention and a desire to learn"
Proceeding to review his public life of
sixty years, dating from Lord Derby's
reform act. which he describes as the 10
litical birth OF Scotland and the beginning
Of a duty which he had solemnly recog-
nized. Mr.. Gladstone says his career has
been a history OF political, economical,
social, moral and intellectual emaneipa-
ton. He adds that in all the numberless
causes that had been brought forward in
this time Scotland has batted for the right.
Continuing he says:
II am deeply convinced that until the
just demands of Ireland are satisfied as
the House Of Commons tried tn satisfy
them neither legislative wants of any pOr-
tion of the United Kingdom will be ade-
Quately met. nor will the empire attain its
maximum power nor its honor be effective
" cleared of the deepest historic stain ever
alta ched 10 it,"
The operation will be performed upon
MIR. Gladstone's eyes in about three months.
