There is great disappointment and apprehension in the city among nil classes over the prospects of a stcrm here to-morrow , which is foreccst by the weather bureau In the entire history of Washington no such elab orate arrangement for inauguration and display have ever before been made , and the expected snow storm threatens to mar it all , and dhoom- fort hundreds uf thousands of people. Shortly after 5 o'clock clouds that had been gathering began to drop rain , and the crowds that had hoped against hope began to get within doors. An hour later fine hail began to fall , but this soon turned Into snow. The streets were quickly covered , and bunting in decorations assumed a wilted appearanca. Every train com ing in was heavily laden , and the es corts of milltiry marched in sluah up and down Pennsylvania avenue. All through the evening the streets were deserted , but hotel corridors were crowded and the capitol wcs literally jammed. Hackmen did a driving busiuiss. Advices from the bureau are to the effect that the storm will blow off before morning , hut the day may be cold and blustering. In any event the condition of the streets will not be pleasant for marching. "SHOOTINO FOE GARFIELD AND AE- WASHINGTON , March 4 1 a. m.

Pennsylvania Avenue Gorgeously - - ously Arrayed in Bunting and Bright Ribbons. Special Dispatcher to TOT Bn WASHINGTON , March 3. 4 p. m. The following is the veto message ol the funding bill just presented to the house : To the home of representatives "Having considered the bill enti tled , 'an act to facilitate the funding of the national debt , ' I em con strained to return it to the house of representatives in which it originated with the following statement of my objections to its passage. The imper ative necessity for prompt action and the pressure of the public duties in this closing week o ! my term of office compel me to refrain from ary attempt to make a full and satisfac tory presentation of the objections to the bill. The importance of the pass age at the present session of congress of a suitable measure for the refundIng - Ing of the national debt , which is about to mature la generally recog nized and has been urged upon the attention of congress by the secretary of the treasury , and in my last annual message. [ f successfully accomplished it will secure a large decrease In the annual Interest payment of the nation. I earnestly recommend if the bill before you shall fail , that another measure [ or this purpose be adopted before the present congress adjourns. While In my opinion it would bo wise to authorize the secretary of the treas ury at h'a ' discretion to offer to the public bonds bearing 3 $ per cent , in terest , in aid of the .refunding bill I should not deem it niy1 duty to In terfere. My constitutional objection to the passage of the present if it did not contain in its fifth section provi sions which in my judgment seriously Impair the value and tend to the de struction of the present national bankIng - Ing system ol the country. The sys tem has now been' in operation almost twenty yeais. No safer or more ben eficial banking system was ever es tablished. Its advantages as a business are free to all who have the necessary capital to furnish a currency to the public for convenience , and for security of the billi and bondholder ? has probably never been equalled by that of any other banking system. 'Its notes are secured by the deposit with the gw- ernment of interest-bearing bondr. Of the bill before me , that which re lates to the national banking system , and to which objection is made is not an essential part of the refunding measure. [ Hero follows the provisions of the fifth section , which compels the ac ceptance of three per cent bonda as the only security for banking circu lation and the safe keeping of public moneys. ] Under * this section it is obvious that no national banks will hereafter be organized except in a few cities or localities where the prevailing rates of interest in ordinary business are extremely low. No new banks can be organized , and no increase of capital in existing banks can be obtained ex cept by the purchase and deposit of 3 per cent bonds. No other bonds of the United States ( Jan be used for the purchase * of 81,000,000 of the bonds recently issued by the United States and bearing a higher rate of interest than three per cent. , and therefore a better security , for bill holders cannot after the first of July next be received as security for the bank's circulation. This Is a radical change in the bankIng - Ing law , taking from the banks the right they have heretofoie had under the law to purchase and deposit as se curity of their circulation any of the bonds by the United States , and" it deprives the bill holder of the best security which ; he bunks are able to give by requir ing them to deposit bonds having the "east value of any bonds issued by the government. The average rate of tax- itlon of capital employed in 'banking 3 more than double the rate of taxa- , ion on capital in their legitimate bus- ness. Under these circumstances to amend the banking law so as to derive - > rive the bankers of. the advantage > f securing . their notes by ; he most valuable bonds ssned by the government will t is believed in a large part of the country to be a practical prohibition of organlzjng nejr banks and will pre vent the existing banks from enlarg. ng their capital. The national bank- ng system , if continued at all , will bo a monopoly in the hands of these al ready engaged in it who may purchase government bonds bearing a more fa- rorable rate of interest than 3 per cent , aonds prior to next July. To prevent ; he further organization of banks is to put In jeopardy the whole sys tem , by taking from ic that feature which makes It , as it now is , a aanking system free ujpbn the same terms to all who wish to engage in it. Even the existing banks will be in danger of being driven from business by the disadvan tages to which they will be subjected by this bill. In short , I cannot but regard the fifth section of the bill as a atep In the direction of the destruc tion of the nations ! banking system of our country. Banks of Issue are essential instru ments of modern commerce. If the present system of banking Is broken lown , it will inevitably bo followed by a recurrence to inferior methods of banking. Any measure looklne to such a result will be a disturbing ele ment in ur financial system. It will destroy and surely check the growing prosperity of th < j country. Believing .hat a measure for refunding the na- lonal debt is not necessarily connect ed with the national banking law , and that a refunding act will defeat its own > bject and Imperil the national bank- ' ng .system or 'seriously ( impair ts usefulness and confidence ; hat- section five of the bill > efore me would , if it should lecomea law work great harm , ' herewith return the bill to the house of representatives for that further consideration which Is provided for in the constitution. RDTHEEFORD B. HATES , Erecutive Mansion. March 3rd , 1881. POSTPONED. The house adopted a motion to postpone action upon the funding bill. The effect of which Is to keep another maasnre without the fifth section trom being introduced. APPORTIONMENT FIXED. By a yote of 13S to 123 the house fixed the number of representatives under the new apportionment at 319. The republicans and a few democrats voted in the affirmative. fld PBEPAEINO FOR THE PAGEANT.
