TEN DAYS WILL TELL
Whether thr Wonderful Turi Bill Will be
Vetiwd or Not.
A dispatch from Washington, D. C.,
dated August 14th, says that the tariff
oi , bill is expected to reach the president
outside world. 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. ;

On Sunday morning at 10:30 Rev. D.
8S. Monroe, D. D. presiding elder of the
Altoona district, preached with his
characteristic eloquence and force
from I Cor. iii-8; theme, “Labor and
Reward.” The doctor's masterly ser-
on was listened to with close atten-

the church. At the close of his
sermon, the doctor turned his attention
to the apparently hopeless task of rais-
ing $1.100, the amount nedssary io

was secured and the balance -§450-- at
