ARMCR PLATE FRAUDS AGAIN.
The Senate Spent Most of the Day
Discussing Them.

Washington, June 6.-The Senate
made some progress to-day toward
clearing away the great appropria-
tion bills which stand ahead of adj
iournment. The Indian bill was finally
disposed of, the contract school item
being modified so that Catholic schools
will be abolished July /, 1897.

Mr.. Hale presented the conference
report on the Naval Appropriation
bill. 1t fixed the number of battleshlps

AND STILL ANOTHER VETO.
The President Points Out Objections in
General Deficiency Bill.

Washington, June 6.-1he President
to-day sent to the House of Representa-
tives his veto of the General Deficiency
bill. The French spoliation claims,
carrying over Sl,000,000, the Bowman
and Choteau claims, are the principal
objections to the measure pointed out
by the President, who, in his message
says:
THE unpleasant incidents which ac-
company the use of the veto power
would tempt its avoidance if such a
course did not involve an abandonment
of Constitutional duty, and assent to
legislation for which the Executive is
not willing to share the RESPONSE
bility"
Il regret that / am constrained to
disapproye an important appropriation
bin so near the close of the present ses-
sion of Congress. ! have, however,
by immediate action after the receipt
of the bill endeayored to delay as lit
tie as possible a reconsideration of this
proposed legislation, though am thus
obliged to content myself with a less
complete explanation of my objec-
tions than would otherwise be submit

This bill is in many of its features
far removed from a legitimate def
cheney bill and 10 contains a number
of appropriations which seem to me
TO be exceedingly questionable With
out noticing in detail many of these
items, I shall refer to two of them
which, in my judgment, justly my ac-
tion in the premises"
The President then takes up
the French spoliation claims
and after reviewing the basis
and progress Of the claims concludes:
Prom that time the plan was con
ceiyed TO charge the government with
the payment of these claims, they
have abided in the atmosphere Of con.
troversy. Every proposition present

bill would be put in jeopardy if the
three ships were not agreed to by the
Senate.
In reply to MIR. Squire's suggestion,
that the armor furnished by the Beth
lehem works to Russia at 1925 was not
as good as that furnished the United
