In his message the president says: "The recovery from the recent depres sion Is steadly progressing. The wheels of domestic Industry have been slowly set in motion, and the tide of foreign investment has again started In our dl- ectlon. Our recovery being so well un der way, nothing should be done to heck our convalescence, nor should we forged that a relapse at this time would almost surely reduce us to a lower stage of financial distress than that from which we are Just emerging." The message, owing to the relations of the Bland bill to the currency condi tlons of the silver purchase law lately repealed, partially reviews that law. The president then submits a specific statement of his objections to the seig lorage bill, as follows: "It Is a bill that consists of two sec ons, excluding one which merely ap- ropriates a sum sufficient to carry the act into effect. The first section pro Ides for the Immediate coinage of the silver bullion in the treasury, which represents the co-called gain or selgn lonage which would arise from the coin ing of all the bullion on hand, which gain or seigniorage this section declares to be $55,156,681. Jt directs that the money so coined, or certificates issued thereon, shall be used in payment 0 public expenditures, and provides that if the needs of the treasury demand' it the secretary of the treasury may, in his discretion, issue sliver certificates In excess of such coinage not exceeding Uie amount of the seigniorage in said section authorized to be coined. The second section' directs that as soon as possible after the coinage of this seign iorage, the remainder of the bullion held by the government shall be coined into legal tender standard silver dollars, and that they shall be held In the treasury for the redemption of treasury notes Issued in the purchase of said bullion. It provides that as fast as the bullion shall be coined for the redemption of said notes they shall not be Issued, but shall be cancelled and destroyed In amounts equal to the coin held at any time In the treasury derived from the coinage provided for, and that silver certificates shall be issued on such coin In the manner now provided by law. It Is, however, especially declared In said section that the act shall not be con strued to change the existing laws re lating to the legal tender character or mode of redemption of treasury notes Issued for the purchase of the silver bullion to be coined. The entire bill is most unfortunately consumed; nearly every sentence presents an uncertainty and Invites a controversy as to Its meaning and Intent. The first section Is especially faulty In this respect, and It is extremely doubtful whether Its lan- gauge will permit of the consummation of Its supposed purposes. 'I cannot conceive of a longer step to ward silver monometallsm than we take when we spend our gold to buy silver certificates for circulation, especially In view of the practical difficulties sur rounding the replenishment of our gold. This leads me to earnestly present the desirability of granting the secretary of he treasury better power than now ex lsta to Issue bonds to protect our gold reserve when for any reason It should be necessary. I hope a way will present Itself in the near future for the adjust ment of our monetary affairs In such a comprehensive and conservative man ner as will afford to silver Its proper place In our currency. "The present perplexities and embar rassments of the secretary of the treas ury ought not to be augmented by de volving upon him the execution of a law so uncertain and confused. I ami not willing, however, to' rest my objec tlon to this section solely on these grounds. In my Judgment sound finance does not command a further infusion of silver Into our currency at this time, unaccompanied by further adequate provision for the maintenance In our tre:iaury of a safe gold reserve. Doubts also arise as to the meaning and con structlon of the second section of the bill. In stating other and more Important reasons for my disapproval of this see tlon, I shall assume under its provisions that treasury notes sued in payment for silver bullion will continue to be re deemed as heretofore In silver or gold at the option of holders, and If, when they are presented for redemption, or reach the treasui-y in any other man ner, there are In the treasury coined silver dollars equal in nominal value to such treasury notes, then and in that case notes will be destroyed and silver certificates to an equal amount substl tuted. I am convinced this scheme 1b ill-advised and dangerous. As an ulti mate result of ita operation, treasury notes which are legal tender for all debts, public and private, and which are redeemable in gold 01- silver at the op tion of the holder, will be replaced by silver eertllcates'which, whatever may be their character and description, will have none of the3e qualities. In antici pation of this result, and as an imme diate effect, treasury notes will natur ally appreciate in value and desirability. The fact that gold can be realized upon them and the further fact that their de struction has been decreed when they reach the treasury must tend to their withdrawal from; general circulation, to ha Immediately presented for gold re demption or to be hoarded for presenta tion at a more convenient season. The sequel of both operations would be large additions to the silver currency In our N The Crowninj? Act of the Dis grace of Ureckenridofe.

FLOODS IN OREGON. Jva orande, Ore., March 29. The Grand Ronde river Is higher than ever before known. The lowlands between La Grande and Island City are flooded. and the people have moved to higher ground. The levee at Orodell is washed away as a result, and the lower streets of this city are flooded, with two feet of water flowing through Jefferson ave nue. All the cellars In the eity are filled with water. It Is feared the darn of the Cwand Ronde Lumber Co., at Perry will go out.

Then she spoke of en tertainment. I asked If they would let her go. She said she was a summer boarder, and she knew no rule against It. I selected a carriage, without anv particular thought about what kind It was. We started in an entirely proper way," he resumed. "Were the windows of the carriage open or shut?" was asked. "They were open," replied the colonel. Then, without prompting, he came to the heart of his narrative. "After we had driven quite a dist ance," he said, "she was talking at some length about her desire to go Into Jour nalism, to be an authoress. She took off her hat and put It on- the front seat put my aim around her and drew her to me. I was a man with passion, she was a woman with passion. There woe no uumxy uy ner; no resistance.

She refused to accept it. I said, 'There are a great many little things you need.' As we got out I put it Into her hand, special master in chancery to hear the matters In dispute. SACRAMENTO VICTORIOUS.' San Francisco, March 29. This aflcr nvion the supreme court rendered a de cision Involving the question of the right of Mie legislature to order the re moval of the state capital. It will be , remembered that . during the closing hours of the last session an act was passed delegating the power In question to the governor, attorney general and secretary of state. In the decision Just given the supremo court holds that the act has no force and effect, It Is In operative for the reason that the legis lature could not legally delegate Its power to any Individual or set of In dividuals. The sovereign power rests llone in the hands of the people, and It Is for them alone to settle the Question Involved. The court was unanimous In the opinion. PIONNOYER'S OPINION.
