THE EXTRA SESSION.
The Probability of It's Extending Itself
Into the Reg ular session.
IGinnnnaH I'LL, lnnirar

ECinciDnati EDquirer.l
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. In spite Of
frequent assertions to the contrary, it is
true that the Presidents message will
be confined to matters for which the
extra session is called, and that the an
nual reports will not be submitted until
December. But enough matters will
come before Congress to occupy all the
time from October Is until then. Unless
precedents are all reversed it will be ten
days at least before Speaker is elected
and the committees appointed. Then,
besides the estimates Of the War De-
partment for the army appropriation,
which will be submitted, the Secretary
of the Navy will submit eommunica-
tion calling attention to the pay of naval
officers for the lest three months Of the
last fiscal year.
Besides these, the Senate will be
called upon at once to consider the con-
tested seats from Louisiana and South
Carolina, which are almost sure to start
long and warm debate; and the Presi-
dent will have something to say In rela-
ton to the recent labor troubles, which
Is likely to start debate on that subject
in the House. Many members are
hiring houses and preparing to keep
houses, which indicate that they ex-
pect to come here to stay.

PROGRESS ON THE NEW ORLEANS
PACIFIC.
IRapidaa Gazette /

Mr.. d. H. Garland, one of the civil
engineers connected with the New Or
leans Pacific railroad, arrived 10 Alex
andria one day last week. He hailed
directly from the scene of operations at
Huffpower bayou, -AvoyeIles parish,
thirty miles from Alexandria, where a
force of two hundred men is employed
by the road. Grading is being pushed
in the direction Of the Atchafalaya river,
at which point connection will be made
with the Louisiana Central Stem,
or the Boyce grade as 1t is gen.
orally called. The Lecomte road, which
will be used by the New Orleans Pacific,
joins the Boyce Grade sixteen miles
from here. This connection, il is
thought, will be effected by the fifteenth
OF next month. The Natchitoches gang
is shaking things up on the other side
of us, and in thirty days from this time
will have completed the grading to a
point in the pine hills which connects
with the Alexandria branch. One hun
dred men will be retained to work at
Lake Provencal and the rest of the
gang sent below to finish, as soon as
possible, the grading between Alexan-
dria and New Orleans, after which the
track will be laid Immediately and the
rolling stock purchased and put ON.

CONKLHAG's TACTICS.
GChicago Times. |

WASHINGTON, Sept. 49, - A friend OF
Senator Conkling, who came here yes
terday from New York city, says that
Conkling is preparing an exhaustive
speech upon the subject of the recent
civil service order and practice OF the
President, to be delivered before the
State Republican convention. It i5 not
the intention Of the convention to adopt
any resolutions censuring or opposing
the Presidents course. Mr.. Conkiing,
in his speech, will not assail the Presi-
dents motives, but will question his
right to issue and enforce an order
active participation In politics. He will
claim that the President has no more
right to circumscribe the lawful action
of Federal official than he has to pre-
scribe what he shall think. Mr.. Conk-.
ling does not intend to attack the ad-
ministration beyond opposing what he
thinks it has no right to do.
Mr.. Conkling i5 chairman OF the Sem
ate Committee on Commerce, to which
all Custom House appointments are re-
ferred 80 when Hayes comes to appoint
SUCCESSORS to Cornell, Arthur and
Sharpe-all friends and political ap-
poinGees of Mr.. Conkling-it is to him
the new appointments will be referred.
He will, OF course, desire to know the
reason for every removal, and It VIOLA
for the removal OF any one OF them, he
will oppose the confirmation Of his sue
cessor. While Mr.. Conkling does not
intend to make any idle or factious op-
position. upon certain issues he will
make stand il the Administration
tries to subvert them in the State of
New York.

sneciaI Cabinet Meeting.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-A special meeting
of the Cabinet was held at noon to-day, at
which all the members were present except
Mr.. Thompson, who has not yet returned to
the city. The affairs in the various depart
ments were found in good condition, with the
exception Of the Interior Department. The
terrible fire of Monday and its results were
thoroughly discussed, and it was decided to
appoint commission to examine the other
government buildings, and report as soon as
possible, with view of taking every precau-
tion against a similar catastrophe in any
other department.
The commission will be composed of Mr..
Brainard, of the Secretary of the Treasury's
office, Mr. Havely, of the Solicitors office,
and one of the fire commissioners of the Dis
trict.
After the Cabinet meeting Secretary
Schurz consulted with the President relative
to the talk with the Sioux. 1t was decided
that these Indians should be heard to-mor-
row at the White House.

1t is more or less the same in all depart

good reason to believe that the nation, as a
whole, like one individual, must prepare for a
further struggle of more or less magnitude
from a commercial point of view, before we
regain the smooth path Of prosperity.

THE MEXICAN BORDER
TObicago Times,i

BROWNSVILLE, Sept. 22.-It is reported
on good authority that President Diaz,
instead of accepting Gen. Trevino's
resignation, granted him four months
leave of absence. The resignation
movement is becoming more mysterious
every day. No one knows what is at
the bottom Of it. Mr.. Diaz is deter
mined not to give the resigning officers
any pretext to plot against him. He
refuses to sever official relations, and
thus retains moral influence as well
as a political one over them.
The Mexican local authorities ex-
pressed decided opposition to the execu-
tion of the extradition treaty. They
are backed by the people, and hostili-
ty to Americans is openly avowed in
every locality. In speaking Of the
recent surrenders of the Jail raiders they
become intoxicated with rage. A trifie
might now involve the two governments
in what would be fierce struggle. The
Mexicans would be aetuated by spirit
of revenge and relentless hate.

The Road to PIevna Open.

LONDON, Sept. 26.-The Standards corre-

date of Monday, says: Another immense
convoy OF provisions, munitions of war and
forage is about to start for Plevna, escorted
by division. Many merchants and other in
habitants OF Plevna, who left the town when
the Russians first advanced, also return with
the convoy, as Plevna Is now looked upon as
safe from capture. The road is reported to
be entirely free of Russians as far as Dubruk,
at which place, we hear, Ahmed Ifzi has ar
rived.
Haiku Pasha sends to say that the Rus
SLAMS were beaten by Ahmed Ifzi in his ad-
vance. They appear to have been driven off
altogether, and abandoned all idea of further
