WASHINGTON, July 24.-The Din>

taken at the White House, when
the President affixed his signature at

ranged that the President should go
to the capital to perform that fumes
ton. but, owing to the uncertainty
as to the time that the bill would be
ready, that plan was abandoned.
The members of the cabinet who
