TEN DAYS WILL TELL Whether thr Wonderful Turi Bill Will be Vetiwd or Not. A dispatch from Washington, D.

The matter was taken up some time before the great bitami- some time to-morrow after which be will have a week from next Monday, if he deflires it, in which to consider it before returning it to the senate. It ‘can be stated with almost absolute cer- tainty that the bill will become a law, either by the presidents signature, or by retaining it ten days without action, the presumption being largely in favor of the lalier Miteymutive The president ; has. repeatedly told his friends that he could not sign the bill, but during Toesday many of his closest personal friends have urged him to sign the bill without delay. Several reasons were urged, among them, the fact the opening of fall trade was close 7 hand and that a delay of ten days might resuit in serious loss of C customs revenues. Another reason stated was that Congress was extreme iy anxious 5 adjourn. With the ex- ception of two months the members had been in constant attendance for over a year, and it was represented that now that their work was practi- cally. accomplished it would be hardly fair to compe! them (0 remain here in idleness when no positive good could be acgom plished thereby. He was advised to forego his scruples in the matter; sign the bill and return it with a message which would leave no room for doubt as to his views theredn. It is estimated that during . the net ten days the receipts from nternal revenue will probably amount 16 between $10,000,600 and $15,000,000, and the government will lose the in- creased y tax to this extent. in view of he depleted condition of the treasury this argument probably will have weight with the president. It is known, though, that up to this time, the president has not changed his de- termination to permit the bill to be- come a law by retaining it the neces sary ten days without action. ; Marded st Carrolitown.
