foundation of logical and sei;,ihlc tariff reform. The extent to which this is recognized in the legislation already secured is one of its encouraging and redeeming features: but it is vexatious to recall that while free coal and iron ore have been denied us, a recent letter of the secretary of the treasury discloses the fact that both might have been made free hv the annual surren- der of only about S700. 900 of unneces- sary revenue.
 am sure that there is a common habit of under-estimating the import ance of free raw materials in tariff leg islation, and of regarding them as only related to concessions to be made to our manufacturers. The truth is. their influence is so far-reaching that If dis regarded a complete and beneficial scheme of tariff reform cannot be sue cessfully inaugurated.
 When we give to our manufacturers free raw materials we unshakle Amer ican enterprise and ingenuity, and these will open the doors of foreign markets to the reception of our wares, and give opportunity for the continu- ous and remunerative employment of American labor.
 With materials cheapened by their freedom from tariff charges the cost of their product must be correspond ingly cheapened. Thereupon jus tice and fairness to the consumer would demand that the manufacturers be obliged to submit to such readjust- ment and modification of the tariff upon their finished goods as would se- cure to the people the benefit of the re- duced cost of their manufacture, and shield the consumer against the exac- tion of inordinate profits.
 It will thus be seen that free raw materials and a just and fearless regu- lation and reduction of the tariff to meet the changed conditions would carry to every humble home in the land the blessings of increased com fort and cheaper living.
 The millions of our countrymen who have fought bravely and we'll for tariff reform should be exhorted to continue the struggle, boldly challenging to open warfare and constantly guarding against treachery and half-hearted- ness in their camp.
 Tariff reform will not be settled un- til it is honestly and fairly settled in the interest and to the benefit of patient and long-suffering people.
 Yours, very truly,
 GROVER CLEVELAND.

CLEVELAND'S LETTER.
To Representative Catchings, of Mississippi, Or the Tariff Bill.
His Reasons for Allowing the Measure to Become a Law Without His Sigma ture-He Intimates that the
 War is Not Yet Over.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9s.-President Cleveland has written the following letter to Representative Catchings, of Mississippi, in which he sets forth his views of the new tariff law, and gives his reason for not approving the bill:
 EXECUTIVE MANSION,
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug P, 1894. Hon. '. c. Catchings::
 My DEAR SIR:-Since the converse tion had with you and Mir. Clarke, of Alabama, few days ago. in regard to my action on the tariff bill now before me. have given the subject further and most serious consideration. The result is I am more settled than ever in the determination to allow the bill to become a law without my sigma ture.

THE lEVEE CAvED IN.

A Rig Break in the Levce on tho New
 Orleans River Front-Two Hundred and
 Fifty Feet Give Way and Take siide
 Into the Riyer-The Break Occurred
 Where. a Few Hours Before. Thousands
 Had Congrcgated.
 NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 29.-Late Mon- day night the levee at the head of Pam line street caved into the river for a distance of about 250 feet. The levee for yeas has stood apparently firm and sound, and was regarded by the levee board as one of the most substantial that protected the city from inunda- tion. At the time it went into the river there was no visible sign by which danger could be detected, as it looked as it always had-high, solid and sound, without flaw or crack.
 ONLY A FEW HOURS BEFORE there had been large crowd present at the very spot to see a balloon ascen- sion, and had the caving occurred then there would probably have been a heavy loss of life, for it came without a particle of warning. The part where the caving occurred was regarded as threatening, and two years ago the United States engineers placed willow mattresses there to protect the land from sliding. Instead of having the desired effect, the mattresses seem to have done harm.
 THEY CREATED AN UNDERFAIL and the current of the river, which is very deep at that point, undermined the levee. The hole into which it sank is thirty or forty feet deep.
 It is supposed that the river bank at this point in the city is based on shift ing sand bar, which could not stand the weight of the levee. The caving of the levee was characterized by
 LOUD cANNoN-LIKE REPORTS, produced by the wood work of the brick heads going to pieces. The earth sank slowly into the river and pieces continued to fall in all day, but the sinking of the ground ceased and it is believed the worst is over. The sink ing will cause some loss to the people of the neighborhood, as a new levee will have to be built back of the old one, considerable distance, and some valuable property will have to be ap- propriated for that purpose.

MORE FOREST FIRES.
Millions of Feet of Timber Destroyed and
 Endangered by the Fervent Element.


 DULUTH, Minn., Aug. 29.-Forest fires are again reported from the north ern country. This time they are doing terrible destruction on the Western Mesa ba, where the Swan River Logging. Co. and the Itzca Lumber Co are at work.
 telegram from Hibbing states that the men employed by Campbell & Will Hams, contractors for the Swan River concern. were driven into town be- cause of the fires, which had destroyed their camps and buildings and about 1,500, ,000 feet of timber cut and ready to be hauled.
 In the vicinity are extensive. old choppings as well as hundreds of mil lions of standing timber belonging to the Weyerhaeusers, Shevlin-Carpenter Co, Itzca Lumber Co.,, and other con- cerns, mostly of Minneapolis.

A REGULAR RUSH
To Withdraw Goods Under Bond in the
 New York Custom House.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-The rush to withdraw goods under bond, under the new tariff which went into effect this morning, began at the custom house almost as soon as the doors were thrown open.
 In the third division the crowds were so great that it was next to impossible to move about.
 While it is not possible to make any exact statement of the withdrawals made, conservative estimate places the number made at l0:s0 at 5000. This is said to be the largest business ever done in the custom house in the same length of time.

lHR at tDlS Jllne tO uOle the course taken by bill which becomes a law without the presidents approving sig nature, under the operation of the ten day provision of the constitution that if any bill shall not be returned by the president
 WITHIN TEN DAYS Sundays exceptedD after it shall have been presented to him, the same shall be law, in like manner as if he had signed it, unless the congress b.. their adjournment prevent it's return, in which case it shall not be law.
 The last eighteen words of that pro- vision indicate the reason why congress did not adjourn as soon as it sent the tariff bill to the president. By adjourn ing any earlier than the time it has fixed-Tuesday-congress would have killed its own act.
 AS AN EXAMPLE OF THE COURSE to be taken by bill which becomes law without the presidents approval, a pension case of recent date will serve to illustrate. It is now printed among the laws of this session of congress as ''Private-No. 1927. After the text of the law, there appears in a separate lines: Received by the president, Au- gust 8, 1894" And then follows, in brackets, the following:
 ''[NoTE BY THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE.
 The foregoing act, having been pre- sented to the president of the United States for his approval, and not having haar, ,..,t,1rnaH hv h i'm, tf ha hn,,ca of congress in which it originated within the time prescribed by the constitution of the United States, has become a law without his approvall."
 This mote by the department of state" results from compliance with the law, which requires that when ever bill, order, resolution. or note of the senate and house of representa- tives.
 DENT,
 or not having been returned by him with his objections, becomes a law or takes effect, it shall forthwith be re- ceived by the secretary of state from the president and he shall carefully preserve the originals"
 
 In the official report that is made in the Congressional Record of all bills a somewhat different statement is made. The Congressional Record of last Satur- day stated that message received last Friday from the president of the United States announces that the bill Senate 16)

 having been presented to the president on the sth inst, and not having been returned by him to the senate within the ten days Sundays excepted) pre- scribed by the constitution had become law without his signature.
 It thus appears that the announce ment comes to congress by message from the president of the United States. that bills have become laws without the presidents signature.

The Plague Is Spreading.

The Marine Hospital Bureau at WASH
ington has received report on the Euro
pean cholera epidemic from It's special Of
fcer stationed at Berlin, Surgeon Fairfax
Irwin. He writes: The disease has pro-
crossed materially since my last report,
especially In St. Petersburg. where 1t has
assumed alarming proportions 1t con-
tinues at Cronstadt, and Is even reported
to be present in Finland, where 1t was
never before seen. IL Galicia there were
many more cases than last week, and new
cases have appeared In Germany and the
Netherlands In Belgium cholera still
continues. especially In towns along the
Meuse, which river is undoubtedly infected.
On the whole the outlook Is rather alarm
ing, far more so. indeed, than at this time
last year.
