The Battle is Over.

The Battle Of Flowers for 1894 is now
one of the bright pages in San Antonio's
history, ever to be remembered. The
weather for the celebration of Saturday
was all that could be wished for, the
streets were in good order, and a
large number of business houses
on the route of the procession were
nicely decorated. The procession, on ac-
count of the delay of some of the floats,
was not prompt in moving and caused a
large number of the spectators great dis
comfort. After it did move. however,
there was no hitch in the program and no
disturbance of any kind to mar the effect.
The wheelmen, the decorated carriages
and the crowds of spectators all turned
out I'm large numbers and the grand affair
shOne respondent lustre on San Antonio'S
reputation as a city where nothing Is neg
lected in the way of celebrating.

PRESSURE ON THE PRESIDENT.
Ee Is Getting Advice Ero;n Both Sides on
That SeicEiora:sc Eli.


That SeiGEiorai,e Fill.
WASHINGTON. March 22.-The pressure
icing brought to bear upon President
Cleveland in regard to the action he shall
take upon the Bland seigniorage bill Is
not confined to senators and representa-
tives, for he is in receipt of letters and
kilograms from all sections of the coun-
try upon the subject and a very large
majority of these communications urge
hmm TO exercise the veto power.
The most emphatic ofthe letters in their
urgency for Il Veto are from Baltimore,
New Orleans, Richmond, Va, st. Louis,
Charleston. :. c, and other southern
cities, and represent boards OF trade and
business men. Similar communications
have been received from Chicago, Pitts
b2rg, Allegheny City. Detroit, Boston,
New York, Philadelphia, Rochester and
Providence
The prevailing sentiments contained in
these appeals are the expression Of the
apprehension that If the bill becomes Il
law there would be n loss Of confidence, the
fear that tie gold would be drained from
The treasury and thc feeling that the gov
eminent would be unable 70 maintain the
parity between gold and silver. thus placing
its financial status on the same footing as
Mexico, the South American republics and
India.

Of the amount OF revenue which the tariff

be about $iSl,oo,0Op. This is reduction
OF between Si30o0,00o and $4,000, 600 from
the estimates on the first bin reported to
the committee. The principal reduction
is made in the internal revenue part of
the bill through the restoration of the
present tax rates on domestic cigars and
cigarettes, which amounts to IA loss of
over @l0.000,0o1. There will also be an ap-
probable falling eff in tine duty on tin
