Washington. May Is Especially President McIxtn-
ley's first veto message was received and Rad b
the House of Representatives to-day. and then fol-
lowed a proceeding which was probably without
precedent in the history Of the American Congress-
In the past many Presidential vetoes have BEEN
received and acted on. some being overrucd and
many sustained. because to override . veto 10
duires a two-thirds vote. But never before II u
believed was veto sustained by unanimous
vote. The bill in question was one to pay claim
known as the Tice claim" Tice having been tho
inventor OF a whiskey meter. After the veto mes
sage had been read the Speaker put the question:
will the House on reconsideration agree to pass
tho bill2" on this question the Constitution re-
taken The roll was called and the result an
nounced as follows: Ayes none; noes, us. few
members answered present when their names
were called.
President Mckinley IN his message. makes some
Interesting observations on the statute OF limia-
tions and estoppel. and closes In tho following
words:
fail TO see any reason in the facts connected
with this claim for granting to these parties RELIEF
Of this extraordinary nature The Treasury OK ne
United States ought TO be very carefully guarded
against attacks OF those who come forward with
such claims. and especially from the attacks OF
those who have already been fully heard accord
ing 70 the methods prescribed by the statutes
To approve this bill would be TO furnish very dan
gerous precedent. which would open the door to de-
mands upon Congress In other cases which have
am constrained TO withhold my approval from
this bill

ment The total amount. he thought. would be
rather above than below the sum indicated.
Mr. Alison then carefully anayzed the ordinary
receipts and expenditures OF the Government and

rotary OF the Treasury that the present tariff bill
would this year raise s2olen0n was 100 high In
