THE BILL GAME TOO LATE.

President After He Had Gone Driving

President After He Had Conc Driving
WASHINGTON, March 19.-The Bland
seigniorage bill reached the White
House at half past two o'clock to-day,
just five minutes after the President

Representative Pearson, OF Ohio, who
went to the trouble to take the bill in
person to the White House, was much
disappointed, as he had hoped TO put in
good word for tho measure in deliver
ing it into the hands OF tho Executive,
The president will have until the
afternoon OF March goth to veto the
bill, otherwise at that time it will be-
come law without his action. There
is every reason to believe, however,
that he Will dispose of it one way or
another without delay.
Both he and Secretary Carlisle have
been overrun with Senatorial and Con-
gressional callers urging the signing of
the bill.
1t is stated on semi official authority
that the President will either sign or
veto the coinage bill, and that he will
not permit it TO become law by lapse
OF time.
His investigations have progressed so
far that the assertion Is made in admin
istrative circles that il tho President
can be assured that the signing of the
present seiR niorage bill will put an end
to silver legislation during the present
term he will sign 1t, but unless such as.
surances are received he is inclined to
veto it.
