A Veto by the President.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 20.-The Pres
ident's message vetoing the bill for the
relief Of Albert E. Redstone was re-
ported in the Senate to-day. The bill
makes an appropriation of $1,SOO to
compensate Redstone for losses sus-
tanned by the Incorporation of land
pre-empted by him in 1889 in the Sierra
forest reserve. The President gives four
reasons for the veto: That Redstone' $
entry was protected by a saving clause
in the Presidents proclamation; that
his claim had expired before the crea-
ton of the reserve; that he had aban-
doned the claim, and that the improve
ments made whereby the claim was
held does not amount to 5000 in value
while the bill appropriates $1,SOO.

GOVERNOR JOHNSTON
 MAKES HIS REPLY

To the above Governor Johnston gave out the following reply this afternoon:
 "So far as I am personally concerned, l do not care to notice Mr. Reynolds charges. I hardly think a charged with serious offenses and withholding his books from examination can put any one on the de- fensive. So far as his statements in refer ence to me are concerned they are not true.
 " I desire to say for MT. Plowman that when the board met at the time MT. Rey- holds failed of reelection and the ques- ton of selling these lands was up for con- sideration Mir. Plowman stated openly and frankly to the board that he had made some arrangements to join in the purchase of the lands of both schools at such sum as the board might agree to accept, but that after reading my letter to Reynolds he saw the improprlety of doing so and at once withdrew from any participation"
 The governor made reference to the charge that he had offered MT. Plowman S50G to get out of the way.

MariscaI on Mexican Silver

New York, November 14.-In a paper on the Mexico of Today" which will appear in the forthcoming issue of the Indepen- dent, Vice President Mariscal, of Mexico, makes a statement and relates an anecdote touching Mexico's silver resources. He says:
 For 300 years she has produced one third of all the silver that was mined. The pro- duction at present is more than sixty mill lion dollars. When Li Hung Chang was in Washington he asked Senor Romero how much silver Mexico was mining and how long she could keep it up. Senor Romero, trying to be conservative, replied that Mexico was turning out 900 per year and could keep 1t up for POO years. Lii Hung Chang would not hear of such a thing. He insisted that our minister had been so long away from his country that he had forgot ten details and that he must be mistaken about the abundance of silver. Mexico ex- poets to supply the world with 900 of silver soon."

another interview with Mir. Reynolds rela- tive to the matter.
 Colonel Pinckard never submitted an offer for these lands for less than $5 per acre. If the party existed in Birmingham who was willing to pay $5.25 or $6. 1t is well-known fact that that price would have bought the lands at any time.
 T think that Captain Reynolds does great injustice to an old friend, one who has stood by him when all others have de- serted him, when he says he believes he can show that any undue influence has been taken in the division of these lands, or that l am in any way connected with MT. De- Bardeleben in the purchase. I will say that the division was absolutely fair, and the commissioner, MT. Hare, of the Tuskegee school told me that if he had gotton first choice he would have selected the lands west of the Warrior river and that decision had been arrived at after an interview with Booker Washington and other members of his board, and further that have no inter- est in MT. DeBardelebens purchase, and knew nothing of his offer until it was pre- sented to the board"
 What of the statement that Governor Johnston offered you $500 to get out of the way?' was asked of Mir. Plowman.
 "When the conversation referred to be- tween the governor and myself occurred, ,' replied MT. Plowman, i've were both very much excited. The governor admitted that he had gotten himself into quite dilemma with two friends, and then he said that he was willing to do almost anything to get out of it. He said something about prefer ring to give me $500. I left his office under the impression that he had offered me that sum, but l returned later and he said that was not the case, but he had intended to convey the impression that he would not have gotten into the muddle for $500, or would willingly give $500 to be relieved of the embarrassment of it."

MIR. PLOWMAN
 STATES HIS SIDE

T. s. Plowman, who is referred to in the was in Birmingham yesterday. To The Age-Herald he made the following state- ment:
 ITO say that I am greatly surprised at the statement of Captain H. c. Reynolds would poorly express my feelings. have always been friend of Captain Reynolds I knew him during the war and admired him for his gallantry and bravery, and when the location of the Industrial school was agitated I worked for its location at Montevallo because I believed it the best place, and, second, for the esteem and ad- miration had for Captain Reynolds. Why he should bring me into this land contro- versy am unable to understand, but since he has seen proper, for purposes unknown to me, I am fearful his action is not prompted from motive to promote the best interests of the Girls Industrial school. But since charges of a very grave nature have been made against me, I will simply say for the present that the charge that presented an offer of over $5 for these lands is absolutely untrue.
 MT w. B. Reynolds did have an inter- view with me and he stated that he had a bid of over $5 in a sealed envelope. then and there told him that it was our duty to present 1t, and that would report it to the board; that I wanted the school to obtain every dollar they could from these lands He declined to let me report his bid. I left him, went into the board of trustees and stated that had contemplated going into a syndicate to buy the land from the board, but had now declined. I never had

the sum of $20,000 out of the profits of the deal if he would withhold his bid For this reason this higher bid was not made.''
 The interview concludes with the follow ing statement from Captain Reynolds:
 "A few days after this meeting the public was informed that the governor had dis posed of them to MT. DeBardeleben at $5 per acre. It is we'll known that no oppor- tunity was ever given for other bids, and the DeBardeleben deal was the result of a private transaction"
 W. B. Reynolds Statement
 w. B. Reynolds, when asked about the charge the governor made against him of offering to get the sale of the lands through at $4 per acre if he was paid $15,000, said:
 "I do not desire to discuss the matter at present. l have the original contracts, let ters, copies of telegrams and all data nec- essary to show the connection of all parties for the lands. l Nsaw very plainly that he for me to say that my share of the profits was to be thirty thousand dollars in stock, which was to be cashed on demand.
