T? 18 ALLEGED THAT SECTION THIRTY, AS AGREED ‘UPON IN CONFEREXCE, 18 OMITTED IX THE EY- ROLLED ACT—OMISSIONS IN ENROLLMENT anB ‘NOT INFREQUENT—SECRETARY WINDOM GATS BE ‘WILL EXFORCE THE ACT. ‘The New York Herald says that the of that city are determined to test the validity of the McKinley tariff law. It is claimed that section 30 of the printed copy of the bill given out as having been signed by the President is incomplete. It now reads as follows: Section 30. That on and after the ist day of January, 1891, the internal taxes on smoking and manzfactared tobacco shall be 6 cents per pound and on snuff 6 certs per pound. In the original bill passed by the House (H. B, 9416) this section read: (449) Section 80, That on all original and un- broken factory packages of smoking and manu- factured tobacco and snuff, held by manafact- urers or dealers st the time the reduction herein provided for shall go into effect, upon which the tax has been paid, there sbali be al- lowed a drawback or rebate of the fall amount of the reduction, but the same shall not apply in any case where the claim has not been pre- sented within sixty days following the date of reduction; and such rebate to manufacturers may be paid in stampe at the reduced rate and no claim shall be allowed or drawback paid for 8 less amount than 95. It shall be the duty of the commissioner of internal revenue, with the approval of the Sec- retary of the Treasury, to adopt such rules and regulations and to prescribe and to furnish such blanks and forms as may be necessary to carry this section into effect. For the payment of the rebates provided for in this section there is hereby appropriated any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated. THE SENATE AMENDED this section by amendment 449, co as to have it read as first given; but it is alleged that in con- ference the committee receded from its smend- 60a } Barnett, it was charge ment and that the section should have been restored as it originally stood. According to the story in the Herald im- | ore have prepared a formal protest to Col- lector Erhardt against the payment of duties under the new tariff law, claiming it to be un- constitutional, by reason of the fact that the bill as signed by the President and promulgated as a law is not the same that was passed by the two houses of Congress, It is farther stated that Senators McPherson and Carlisle support this view of the invalidity of the tariff bill, and itis added that the au- thorities in that city have become aware of the fatal defect and that the main object of the President for desiring an extra session of Con- pa the elections is to remedy this under, SUCH OMISSIONS ARE FREQUENT. The question raised as to the validity of the tariff bill, on account of the omission of sec- tion 30 from the enrolled bill, which was signed by the officers of the House and Seuate and the President, one which the Supreme Court alone could settle, but there is considerable surprise expressed that Senators Carlisle and McPherson should raise the point, since similar omissions have not caused other laws to be called into question. It very often bappens that there is sword or aclause omitted from a bill by the enrolling clerks, aud in such cases the bills have gone into effect as laws in the form in which they received the President's signature, the signed bill being the evidence of the act. Probably half the laws on e statute books since the war have been erroneous in en- roliment jome more of less important par- ticular. It is seldom that some such errors are not discovered in the enrollment of the appro- priation bills after they have been sign: an item of Cah se is omitted by the en- rolling clerks it has never been held to affect the validity of the rest of the bill. Several such errors occurred in the sun civil bill last Congress, but the bill went into effect as signed. in the river and harbor bill, passed at the Inet session, an item of $200,000 ‘was appropriated forthe improvement of the Ilinois river, and in the enrollment $200 was Putin instead. This was corrected by a sup- plemental action, but the purpose of making the correction was not to save the rest of the bill, but merely to save that item. Many such errots have occurred and have not been discovered until long after Con; has adjourned, but the bills, as signed, have always been regarded as la and so put into effect. Ithas been held that the appropria- tion of # iarger amount than was in- tended was valid if properly signed. The executive has nothing to do with what Congress intends in such eases, but merely with the action reported in legal form. When a bill is passed by both houses and all differences settied the measure is enrolled and is then examined by the committee om enrolled bills, who report upon the enrollment. The Speaker then ae the enrolled bill before the House with his signature and it is accepted as correct. The acceptance of the enrollment by the House as correct would presumably in itself validate the measure. . WILL EXECUTE THE LAW. Secretary Windom said this morning that he knew nothing officially about the protests against the legality of the McKinley tariff bill. “I do not,” he said “‘rogard it as the province of an executive officer to firedemes the constitu- tionality of the acte of Congress. It was for him to inforce the law as he finds it and not to determine questions affecting its legality. I am therefore executing the McKinley tariff act as I find it, approved by the President of the United States and certi as correct by the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Kepresentatives, and I shall contimue to do so unless @ com- petent legal tribunal such as the Supreme Court decides that the law is uncon- stitational, It is not for me to question the validity of any of the signatures to the bill ag enrolled, neither is it for me to determine whether the bill signed by the President did or did not in fact pass the lower House, much less is it for me to determine .whether the omission of the tobacco drawback section or any other provision of the bill invalidates 18 as as whole. fAs I understand it the act of October 1, 1890, is the law of the land. My duty, therefore, is plain and I shall exe- cute its provisions to the best of = ability. Its constitutionality is a question for the courts, and until they decide against it I shall be gov- erned by it as it stands.” ———.—__ s Secretary Blaine’s Western Trip.

The Views of the Civil Service Reform Commission Promised Tomorrow. Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt said today that he did not feel at liberty to talk on the subject of the “State Clubs,” now being or- ganized in the several executive departments for the purpose of taking part in the campaign, He had given the matter consideration, but had not yet reached the point where he could in- telligently diseuse his opinions and conclusions in regard to the new phase of the political methods of the administration, He would probably give the public the views of the com- mission on the subject tomorrow. It is learned, however, that Mr. Roosevelt has drafted a letter on behalf of the commis- sion to the chairmen of these “state clubs,” in which their attention is called to certain con- siderations in connection with the exist- ence in this city of political clubs, which they assert are mainly composed of members now in the government departments, The letter will say that it appears that both parties have these organizations, and the usual course is to get all the government employes from a certain stato who belong to one political party or association which is then known by the name of the state to which they belong. The commissioner says it is noteworthy that at present the activity in these associ- ations 18 almost confined to those who are avowedly republican, whereas they are in- formed that the direct reverse was the case under the last administra- tion, and that these political clubs do not dare to openly exist when the party to which they belong isnot dominant, The letter warns these Clubs that criminal proceedings will be instituted against their members if they break the law, Not Gullty.

Agreat stir was lately made in Paris over the disappearance of one of the most famous portraits in the Louvre. It is now announced, without explanation, that it will be rehung in its former position. The picture is the por- traitof Marshal Prim, painted by Henri Reg- naut, and regarding which a curious story is told, It appears that the artist painted it en- tirely from photographs and without sittings, the marshal not seeing the picture until it was finished. He then called at the studio in Madrid, inspected the picture and asked why ‘M. Regnault had made him look so much like a coal heaver. This query so enraged the painter that he immediately left the city, taking the picture with him, In spite of this adverse criticism the public bas set the stamp of ap- proval on the portrait, both as a likeness and work of art. A PERILOUS BALLOUN VOYAGE, Three French Acronauts Have a Nar- row Escape From Instant Death. Three aeronautes, Valles, Lelice and Truelle, have just met with an exciting adventure which very nearly had a fatal termination. They left the gas works at La Villette at 3 o’clock Tuesday afternoon in their balloon, the Mozart, intend- ing after a brief ascent to return again to the ground just outside the fortifications. When they reached an altitude of 3,000 yards a hurricane commenced to blow and drove the balloon on furiously to the northeast, For some hours the acronants bad a dreadful time, the wind causing the car to sway so violently that the occupants were obliged to cling to the edge in order to avoid being thrown out. Instead of being able to be in Paris in time for dinner, as they had intended, they found themselves after dark above the village of Bourcy, 150 miles from the capital. Then they resolved to land at all risks. The grap- ling irons were therefore thrown out, but they Broke off and the wind got into the ‘envelope and burst ge hole init. Then the balloon began to rapidly, and very soon the car struck the ground and rebounded, throwing out Lelice, who fell on the telegraph wires, and then onreaching the ground he remained inseasible for some time. His ci nions were also thrown out of the car and fell a distance of fifteen feet. Lelice, whose collision with the telegraph wire broke the force of his fall, was the least injured of the trio, and when he recovered consciousness he looked about and eventually discovered his friends, being directed to them by their groans, The bailoon and the car are damaged beyond all possible hope of repair. EAVAGES OF THE GRIP, How It Affected the People of Massa- chusetts Last Winter. ‘The annual report of the Massachusetts state board of health has just been published,and one of the most interesting subjects discussed by the board is the mysterious disease called the grip, which carried off so many persons and brought with i¢such @ great variety of other ailments last winter. No less than 850,000 per- sons, or 89 per cent of the population of Mas- sachusetts, were attacked by it during a run of seven weeks, from December 20, 1889, to February 1, 1890. ‘The ratio of sons attacked in industrial and other estab- fishments employing numbers was about 86.6 per cont, or less a lation at large.

In the first place I'd not confine J attention to the herdics, Look there.” He pointed through the misty window to « passing car. “See that mass of suffering humanity. Look at that poor little man—the one with the gray beard—who has just room for his toes on the platform and for his fingers on the handle, while the shelter roof drips water down on his collar. I'd first pension that man for suffering so, and then I'd flog bim for being fool enough toride. And yet he hasto ride. He's too to own a carriage and too old to walk, and 3 unfortunate enongh to live so far down town that the cars are all CROWDED BEFORE THEY REACH SIM. “But see! Just look atthat!

When the herdic moved on he had Picked bim- self up and was limping back to his precarious but precious station on the square ineh of the Platform, _ “Yes, I'd do something about that,” con- tinued the wish-I-were man, glowering and talking excitedly. ‘I'd make that street car line and every other line triple its accommoda- tions on a morning like this instead of running 8o few cars that each one is filled before it bas gone three squares away from the terminus, Tdmake the company pay a stated sum for every passenger standing on the platforms and you'd soon see them come to time.” Here the herdic stopped at the junction be- tween the Biaine house and the Executive Mansion and nine-tenths of the load poured out into the rain to wait for the other coach, “Just see there,” the would-be reformer went on as he slipped down with asigh into a seat thus vacated, still talking. “KOT A SIGN OF not a board, and half ef those folke without umbrellas, But that's their fault if they haven't. It is the fault of the Commissioners, however, that the company is not allowed to build a sheiter there for its transferred passen- gers, just as the avenue line has done at 7th street, If I were a Commissioner there'd be a change. I'd let ’em build a neat iron roof or I'd at least give the transfer agent ® box to stand in. Oh, I'd soon make changes. I'd satisfy the public and the com- a and punish them both at the same time. here’d be just as much kicking then as now, but there'd be more comfort and less disease. I'd be a terror to stockholders and the horror of men who forget things. I'd prove a blessing to mis peet but it mighthurt. Ugh! This is where I take my shower bath. Da, da,” and with this the man who would do such remarka- ble things if he were in power plunged out of the herdic and intoa dispensary of wet-weather comforts, where he took « three-finger drink of brandy. ' He stopped kicking then. WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Revencve APpornTuents.—The Secretary of the Treasury has made the following appoint- ments in the internal tevenue service: 8.
