WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.

The EXTRA SESSION QUESTION keptthe Cabi-
net together, il is understood, from .. m. until
p. IN yesterday, a session of almost nnprece-
denied length. 1t is further understood that
no definite conclusion resulted from the days
discussion of the question. If the proposed
extra session is to be ordered, the fact must be
made public by a proclamation as early as
Sunday morning next; a., If delayed beyond
that period, it will he impossible to get the in
telIigenee of the fact to the Pacific side i'm time
to have the California and Oregon Congression-
al elections take place soon enough to make it
certain that those to be chosen in them NAV
reach here by the fourth Monday in August,
the period at which Congress will probably
convene, if meeting before the first Monday in
December next
Our impression is, that the upshot of the cur
rent investigation Of all the facts bearing on
the necessity for an extra session of Congress
by the principal officers of the Government,
has so far not inclined the President to aban-
don his opinion of the necessity for such a
measure. The fact that it is matter of very
great Importance in various ways is evidently
why the final determination Of the question is
being put of until the last moment in which
the announcement may be made in time to go
out by the next mail to the Pacific SIDE. We
believe that the President has determined to
call the extra session

announced yesterday in our telegraphic column
From the New \ ork papers hsmorning.
We gather the following further particulars II
seems that OH Wednesday evening Mr. Walsh
started ont in order to pay his respects to Vice
President Breckenridge, who is now stopping at
the New York Hotel He afterwards left there il
is said for TO visit friend up town. The next
known Of him was when Officer Courtney found
his lifeless body, yesterday Thursday morning
at the bottom of flight Of stairs, in front of No.
13s Eighth avenue. 1t was at first supposed that
he accidentally fell down the stairs and broke his
neck, but it having been subsequently, ascertainel
that his gold watch and chain. diamond breast
pin and gold finger ring, which it is positively
known he wore when going out or Wednesday
evening, were missing, and that there were marks
upon his throat which looked though lac had
been choked to death, the opinion was formed by
many that he had been fOully dealt with There
was also severe confusion on the back of the
head, which may have been caused either by
blow or by falling down the stairs. The police
are ferreting out all the particulars of the affair
Mr.. Walsh was born in New York in 1915, was
the son of a mahogany dealer, and was brought up
to the trade of photographer, at which he was
considered one Of the best mechanics in the CITY,
In 1910, Mr. Walsh published and edited weekly
paper called the Knickerbocker, the existence of
which, after few years, terminated by the
conviction of the editor for libel published in its
columns. About the year lsi6, Mr.. Walsh edited
another weekly newspaper entitled the Subterra
mean, which was published for two or three wears
only. In the year 1915, Mr.. Walsh was nominated
by the Democratic party, and elected as member
of Congress, where he distinguished himself by
his ever rough and ready remarks OIL all subjects
At the expiration of his term of office, Mr.. Walsh
engaged in literary pursuits. In 1852, he was
again elected to Congress. Since then. MIR. Walsh
has lived In retirement. Mr.. Walshs character
for honesty always stood high in the community;
and although his habits and associations estranged
him from many of his former friends, vet this one
sterling trait of his character was never denied

THEIR REPoRr.-The report of the Army
Board that recently considered questions pro
pounded by the War Department with the
view to obtain information to be made the
basis of changes to decrease the cost of the
Army to the National Treasury, has been pro-
mulged.
1t holds that neither the present Army. nor
the present ratio of commissioned officers. can
be prudently decreased
1t holds that the only way Of decreasing the
expense Of Army transportation will be the
abandonment of the small post system off in
the Indian country. and the concentration Of
the troops in larger bodies at large posts ON or
near navigation, and where subsistence forage
&c. is TO be had at reasonable rates.
Ii recommends the abandonment of the small
post system, the concentration Of the army nj
larger posts near the settled frontier. and move
ments of detaehments from such posts into the
Indian country as required
It also recommends the abandonment or tho
contract system Of purchasing Army horses.
the sale Of all military posts not now required
for military occupancy, and the concentration
of all the manufacturing and repairing work of
the service at two or three arsenals, &c, instead
of keeping up the Governments present nu
merous establishments Of the kind.
Such arc all the changes it proposes.
