WILL HE SHIRK IT2.
Responsibility of Tariff Stu
alton Too Much for Grover.
Is Afraid to Sign the Bill and
Afraid Not To.
By THE TEN DAYSLIMII
He May Let It Become a Law
by Expiration.
This is the Opinion of Those
Claiming to Know.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-As the house
of representatives last night adjourned
over until Wednesday the tariff bill can
not be sent to the White House until to-
morrow. It will be enrolled and care
fully compared today and tomorrow,
when both houses are in session, it will
receive the signatures Of Speaker Crisp
and Vice President Stevenson.
The bill will then be taken to the pres
ident, who will have ten days exclusive
of Sundays) or until Monday. the 9th, in
which to act on the bill.
A great deal Of pressure will be brought
to bear on the president by Democratic
senators and representatives to induce
Dir. Cleveland to sign the bill, but au-
thoritative statement made by the Asso-
ciated Press that it is the present inten-
ton of the president to let the bill be-
come a law without his signature can be
reiterated today.
1t is stated by friends Of the president
that he has freely expressed this purpose
to those entitled to know, who have ques-
toned him the subject but has said
he will thoroughly consider all facts in
the matter A member of the cabinet
said that if the president should change
his present inclination to afhx his sigma
ture to the bill it would be accompanied
by a statement in explanation of his rea-
sons therefor.
The opinlcn rendered April 16 last by
Judge Mott of the United States court Of
claims in the case Of the United States W.
Alex Well. ct al, is Of special interest at
this time, as is well Understood both
houses Of congress are extremely anxious
for an adjournment and under ordinary
circumstances would be ready for adj
journment by the middle Of the. present
week.
The passage Of the senate tariff bill
however, is very likely to keep them here
ten days waiting for the bill to become
law without the presidents signature.
That the president will pursue this course,
there seems TO be little doubt, and this
will necessitate congress remaining ia
session until week from next Friday or
Saturday
The opinion rendered by Judge Mott
was the first ever given on the point in
question, and held in effect that the pres
ident has the right under the constitu-
ton to approve bill after an adjourn
ment of congress, provided his action
was taken within ten days exclusive OF
Sundays after the bill reached him. 1T
had become 4 tradition that such an act
would he unconstitutional and would
operate to invalldate the act
Judge Thomas NJ. Cooley and ex-Judge
Strong believe Judge Motifs decision to
be sound.

leaders have lost control Of the rank and
file and the men have announced their
willingness to work at any wages.
The Pullman officials have intfmated
that the strikers who return to work will

fact was largely instrumental ia causing
today's wild stampede for positions

That Crop Were Greatly Hurt
T. b. Jennings, observer at the gov
ernment weather bureau here has issued
the following weaIher-crop bulletin for
the week ending August 13:
THE first days Of the week were cool
but the temperature rapidly returned to
its t0rrid condition and the last half of
the week has rIvaIed the last week Of
July in the eastern half of the state, til g
week being clear, rainless and hot; 0.27
inch Of rain fell at Downs, LOO at Inde-
pendence, and trace at Rome, Elk City,
CoHeyville and Lebo.
The effects Of the hot drying weather
have been generally shown by the whiten-
ing blades Of corn, the willing Of grapes,
the falling Of apples and the browning
Of the prairies.
Corn is being generally cut and
shocked, much Of it in the northern
counties will be unmark etabIe.
Prairie hay is light, is largely in the
stack, and il about half a crop Leaves
are falling rapidly from the fruit and
forest trees and stock water il getting

The New York World and Adverttser on
Tariff Bill.

the Tariff Bill.
New YORK, Aug. 14.-Commenting
upon the passage Of the tariff bill, the
" orld says: Had congress adjourned
without passing any bill, tariff agitation
would have dominated the elections and
have been revived at the Decem Der ses-
sion, even if the president had not felt
constrained to call an extra session. If
the president shall permit this bill to
become law, no party would dare to
propose tearing iC to pieces again at
once.
MIR. Cleveland's term will not expire
until March, 1897. His veto cannot be
overrIdden by the next congress-, and the
congress to be elected in 1896 will not
meet for more than year afterward.
Even those who are most disappointed
in the bill will soon come to consider
three years OF peace preferable to fur
ther suspense, anxiety and business de-
preston .
The Advertiser says: ssThe truth Of
the matter is 1t makes little difference
now AS to democracy, or what it may do.
It has been tried by the country and
found wanting. The people now realize
the truth and force Of Mr.. Blaine's re-
mark that by reason of their long alb
sence from power, the democrats have
lost the capacity to govern

in business. Stocks in all lines of manu-
factures had been reduced to a mini

Today several large orders were received

the demand began yesterday as soon as
the passage Of the tariff bill was assured,
and telegraph wires were kept busy last

1t is assorted that slight reduction in
wages will be necessary in the case of
