POSipOncmcnt OF the Session of
Congress-.


1t was finally determined at'WashiDg-
ton yesterday not to call an extra session
Of Congress in June, as at first intended
but to postpone the session until October.
We are gratifCd to publish this news this
morning, for the reason that we can see
10 good to the business interests OF the
gomtg likely to grow out of summer
session OF Congress. On the contrary, we
can easily see how much harm might re-
.uI. from it. The business men Of the
country have all along dreaded
the possibility OF any further tinkering
sIth the finances. They can see no relief
for the depression that exists in any
probable action Of Congress, but they can
see an aggravOtion OF present ills by
reason Of the introduction and discussion
of all sorts OF crude schemes. Business
men desire nothing SO much az to be let
alone by Congress. Between bills look
ing to imitation and others looking TO
contraction, the community has been
kept in s,atc OF distraction ever since
the panic OF 1873.
There will be those who will attribute
this po'tponement to political considera.
tions. |, will be seen that member OF
the Cabinet explicitly stated last evening
that politics had nothing to do with the
poslponement. Notwithstanding this
denial the charge OF political motives will
.li!l be made. We do not see that any
capital can he made out OF such charge,
even supposiug it to rest upon facts. The
Presidents policy has not yet had trial
At the South, and everything that he has
done or attempted to do Is in the nature
Of an experiment. Why should he not
properly and lsgitimately feel solici-
,ndc to protect the good seed that he has
'own from disturbance. There are u
number OF men, Republicans and Demo.
cFa'', who are anxious for an opportunity
to embarruss the administration before it
can achieve decided success, and it is
this class oipeople who will feel especial.
y disappointed when they read this
mornings news,

one OF his contrymen on the 10Th Of De.
Cember, 1915. lie was convicted solely
on Chinese testimony. An appeal was
taken to the Supreme Court, which con.
lirued the judgment Of the lower court.
The execution was to have taken place
April 80, but the Governor granted a
stay Of proceedings to enable him to re-
review the testimony. The prisoner to
the last maintained his innocence, and
declined to converse much, merely re-.
questing that his body be given to his
friends. Rev. Loomis attended him dur
ing his imprisonment and on the gallows,
but failed to make any impression on
his views as 10 religion. The prisoner,
on being led out to execution, maintained
calm dcmeanor, and died without a
struggle. Since November, 1866, there
have been thirty-six murders committed
by Cinnamon in this city, and not n
single execution until the present one.

The Republican papers are much irri-
tated at Jules Simon's speech in the
Chamber OF Deputies about the Ultra
montane agitation, and some assert that
the position Of the Cabinet may be en-
dangered by this question. Several
attribute NJ. Simon's conciliatory tone
toward the Catholics to President Mac
Mahon's intervention.
DEBATE ON THE CATHOLIC QUESTION.
VERSAILLES, May 4.--In the Chamber

ta, who said that in the present intrigues
which divides the country the Republi-
can party ought to loudly proclaim its
principles and endeavor to save the State,
in which breach had been made by
partisan interests and Catholic commits
sions. He charged that the members OF
the former reactionary Cabinets who
have taken refuge in the Senate,
were engaged in directing the present
movement. After inyeighing against
the encroachments Of the clergy, he de-
clared it was time the churches should be
relegated to their proper subordinate
rank in the state. Clericalists sought TO
induce France to break with the Italian
nation. Clericalism was at an end.
The last abatement was greeted with
prolonged applause by the Left.
Minister Sim on Indignantly repudiRted
the assertion that his speech Of yesterday
was dictated by the President. He re-
peated his previous declaration Of the
Governments determination 10 make
the law respected. They would do so
with all the more energy, as advantage
might be taken If immunity was enjoyed
by certain persons meaning the Bishops)
to prejudice the good relations with Italy.
NJ. Mum, the recently elected Cereal.
ist, denied that the Catholics desired
war with Italy.
The Chamber by vote Of 361 yeas to
12l nayes, adopted the order Of the day
presented by the Left and accepted by the
Government, declaring that the Chamber
considering that recrtEicseca. Of ultra.
montane manifestations, constitutes dan
ger to peace at home and abroad, and
calls upon the Government to use the
lawful means at its disposal.

Liquor Sentences.

ST.. LOUIS, May 4.-The habcas corpus
case OF Louis T. Euscher, one Of the
whisky ring, referred to in these dis.
patches day or two ago, was decided
by Judge Treat, Of the United States
Court, today, the defendant and all
Others whose cases were similar being
discharged. This will probably settle
the matter Of collecting the fines imposed
on the parties, the Judge holding that
under the terms OF the sentences the fines
can not be collected by a capias, but only
on an execution. Louis kellerman, u
Gauger, whose sentence reads that he
shall stand committed until his fine is
paid, will be sent to Jail. Mr.. Torlina,
who pasd his fine, will now apply to the
United States Marshal to have It re.

PHILADELPHIA, May S.-The largest
carpet mills in the United States, those
Of the Messrs. Dobson, at SchuylkilI
Falls, in the suburbs Of Philadelphia,
will close tomorrow, thus throwing out
Of work some fourteen hundred hands.
In the early part Of April about seventy
tapestry weavers struck against reduc.
tion in their wages from four and one.
haltto four cents per yard. Since then
the proprictors have learned that the
other operators, notably the Brussels and
ingram weavers, who suffered no reduc-
ton, have been assisting the strikers, and
ii has been decided to stop work altogeth-
er. Especially are the proprietors moved
to this course by the large surplus OF
goods on hand. The Dobsons stated to.
day that the mills would be closed for an
indefinite period, although there was q
possibility Of starting up by June lst.
