WASHINGTON. Oct. 16.-As already stated in
these dispatches, the message of the President
mitted tomorrow. The following is synop-
sis The message begins by referring to the
failure Of the late Congress to pass the army
appropriation bill, and states that the army is
isting statutes and that there is an obligation
to maintain its full force, and that in the ab-
sence OF specific appropriation the govern
ment was unauthorized to make the necessary
expenditures. The absence of this authority
is regarded as fit grounds for the convening of
Congress in extra session.
me message asks that the appropriations be
made upon the basis Of an army of 25,0Oo men,
and that all questions Of the increase or modif-
cation OF the personnel or administration OF the
military service be suspended until some future
pose, according to the estf Ate. is s32 ,436,7G4.

Over the Organiza tion of tn
senate.
Especial to the Democrat !

[SUBUIH 10 JIG DefnOGTHtJ
WARRINGTON, Oct. Is, .. m.-There is much
excitement about the possible capture of the
organization of the Senate by the Democrats.
There are 81 Republican and 81 Democratic
Senators In their seats. Sharon is absent, and
will not be here during the extra session. This
leaves it necessary for the Democrats to get two
votes from the Republicans, and then they can
seat Butler. Spofford and Eustis, without fur
ther serious contest. These additions would
make the Senate practically Democratic. The
two votes can be had. and it is needless to say
In advance who the Senators are; but now GER
tain of the moro punctilious Democratic Sena-
tors are holding off. and object to securing the
control by such means. At this writing, how
ever. it is possible and even probable, that the
Democrats will immediai ely take control of the
Senate. BUELL.,

WASHINGTON, Oct. Is. 8 y. m.--Notwithstand-
ing the fact that all the press reports represent
the French elections as having gone Radical by
reduced majorities. private advices to financial
houses In New York and to the members Of the
Syndicate. assert that when the official returns
come In the government will be found to have
carried a large majority of districts, and that
the Bonapartist candidates are nearly all
elected. This curious conflict of advices is ex-
planned on the ground that the government in
tends to count in its candidates. and that those
who have financial interests at stake have been
