CHERRIES IN ENGLAND.

English boys should be as grateful to Sir
Waller Raleigh as are Englisnilen. The
first cherry tree grown in England was
planted by Sir Walter Raleigh, at his resi-
dence, Affane, nearly opposite Tourin Castle,
once the property of the Roches, on the
River Blackwater
So while the Englishman who owes his
pipe and his cigars to him who introduced
tobacco into Britain, the boys, to whom
cherries are never ending source of de-
light, should see to it that the knight of old
has warm place in their memories. =

THE BOSTON WILL CLOSE AT SIX

The Boston viii commence on July 2 to

keepers would close at six purchasers would
soon educate themselves to buy before that

A VETO SURE.
The Seignioroge Bill VIII Not Be
Approved
Cievelanti's Action Entirely independent
of the Views OF Ills Secretary OF the
Treusury-It Is Claimed ths Bland =
En- Would BIO a Mandatory Law.

WARRINGTON, March 26.-The an
nouncement that President Cleveland
had made up his mind to veto the
seigniorago bill during the coming
week receives every confirmation in
the opinion OF those best qualified to
know the presidents intention. The
statement that the president will veto
She bill is based upon information
from source high and very close to
President Cleveland Tho attitude OF
Secretary Carlisle toward tho bill.
which has changed several times since
it's first introduction in tho house, Is
believed to be in accordance with this
decision Of his official chief.
Representative Bland, the author OF
the bill, has several times said he fear
ed Secretary Carlisle would ultimately
cast his influence in favor of veto
The truth is, however, that the presi-
dents action will be entirely
independent of his secretary OF
the treasury. The atmosphere
of the treasury department has
during the past week, been distinctly
favorahl to the bill, but Secretary Car
Isle himself has cautiously refused to
authorize any statement OF his attitude
further than to cause seIni-ot1icial do
NAL of the statement that during hiS
visit to New York to facilitate the re.
cent bond sale he had promised certain
Laokers, ON behalf Of the administers
ton, that the seigniorage bill would
not become n law.
The strongest argument urged for G
veto Of the scigniorage bill, and which
the president will undoubtedly make
use Of in his veto message, is that the
Bland bill would lie mandatory law,
requiring the secretary of the treasury
to do what ne already has the discre-
ton to do under the act Of 1890 known
rs the Sherman law. This is to coin
the bullion already in tho treasury
and avail himself OF the seigniorage.
