EXTRA SESSION.
Speeulations and Reflections Upon
lis Significance.


CHICAGO. March Ca Washington
special says : A nights reflection has
convinced many Democrats that they
made q mistake in defeating the two up.
preparation bills and that their patty
stands upon very dangerous ground,
now that an extra session Of Congress
has been called and the responsibility
for all further legislation rests upon
them. The work which the extra SEES
sion will be called upon to do Is not
merely the passage Of the appropriation
bills. The President will call attention
TO the condition OF the Treasury and the
fact that the revenues for the next year
will not be sufficient to meet the
the appropriations. and that some legis.
lation 10 increase the revenue Is impera-
lively demanded. Attention will be di.
rscted to the letter Of Secretary Sher.
man upon this subject. This will in.
volvs Q question OF increased taxation.
and Congress will DO compelled to meet
Il. 1t 10 expected that there will be
other general legislation. and the best
judges here believe that the session will
run from two to three months. Parties
who are interested In the Geneva Award
will strive to get II acted upon,
and legislation regarding the duty
on sugars will again DO urged
by Secretary Sherman, so that q
short session will be impossible. The
contest over the Speakership is already
begun In earnest. with Randall on the
outside track. The friends Of Black.
feel confident be will command enough
Southern votes to insure his election
over Randall. There will be other can
dipates In the field. but their candidacy
will be carried on moro with u view TO
securing the c~hairmanships Of commit.
toes. It Is believed that General Car
field will be the unanimous choice OF tho
Republican caucus for the Speakership.
The Greenbackers propose TO 90 through
the farce Of nominating q candidate, and
arc talking OF Judge Kelly. thinking he
may receive support IRON inc iIepupi'
can side OF the chamber. California
will not be represented in the lower
branch Of Congress during the extra ses.
sion. The Texas Pacific lobby will
move In the new Congress and endeavor
10 get q bill passed at the extra session.
The leaders assert that the new Congress
will DO moro favorable to their scheme
than was the ono just expired. A promi.
nent Democratic Senator Of the bourbon
type said this afternoon that unless the
Republicans agreed to appeal the cleo.
ton laws no appropriation bills would
be passed by Congress; that the Demo.
Gratis would pass a bill repeating these
laws, and. II vetoed. would then attach
them to the appropriation bills aud force
the President to approve them or 80
without appropriations to run the Gov.
eminent. In the opinion Of this Sena.
tor. Congress would DO in session all
Summer. unless the Republicans and
the President backed down.

At THE JULIA.

Twisting Of she shan OF thc
ke.is sad spur wheel Of ths
GroistIsg Apparatus.

An unfortunate affair occurred at tho
Julia hosting works at 10 o'clock last
night which will delay operations there
until Monday next. The engine had
been stopped to key up the reels, which
by use had como to have too much
slack. The key was fitted and was
found to be driving very closely. In
order to bring it on top 30 as to get at
1t the more readily, the engineer was
directed to put on steam and turn the
machinery a very little. He reversed
the engine and applied the steam and
thus turned the reels the wrong way,
bringing the key Immediately against
the pillow block, and not only springing
but twisting the shaft ON which the
reels and spur wheel work. and to such
an extent as to require its replacement
by a new %
This accident has occurred at an un.
fortunate time for the Julia. The water
had been lowered to within q few feet Of
the 1000 level. the pumps and tanks
having been In constant operation for
some time.
The water was in fact so far lowered
that the donkey pumps to throw the
water to the 1000 level. where connec-
ton had been made with the Sutro Tun-
! mel, were in readiness for use. These
had even been tried and found TO work
admirably and Superintendent Bawden
was only waiting to receive orders from
below to discharge the entire water Of
the lower levels Of tho mine into the
tunnel In accordance with the agreement
| which was consummatcd last Summer.
Immediately after the accident, not.
withstanding the fact that the pumps
were kept in operation. the water rose at
the rate Of two feet per hour. But, even
should the pumps be stopped the water
would not reach to the 1900 level a. the
| fountain head has been nscertained TO
DO 40 feet below that level. The mino Is
in fact draining the immense ledge which
is known to exist there and from which
the water flows for 100 foet above the
1000 level.
The bent shaft is still in place, and is
used TO raise and lower what few men
are needed to attend to the pumps and
keep watch OF things below. Fortunate
ly. another shaft OF . little more than
required dimensions was found at the
Fulton Foundry. on the Divide, and Ia
now being turned down and fitted for its
place. This will say from the great
delay which would be incident upon
sending abroad and having q new shaft
| forged.

FOREIGN DISPATCHES.

The German Reichitag.

BERLIN, March Elm the debate on
the Parliamentary Discipline bill In the
Reichstag yesterday Prince Holsnlohs
Lausenbsrs. while smphaticslly disap-
proving OF the bill. announced in the
name Of the Free Conservatives, that on
the second reading they would move the
standing order of the House, modified
in accordance with some Of It's points.
The principal incident Of the debate
was a lively encounter between Prince
Bismarck and Herr Lasker. The latter
declared that never since the existence
OF the Rsicbstag had there been Q single
case where the proposed measure would
have been applicable. The Federal
Council had used much more offensive
expressions than those which thu Gov.
eminent sought to curb in the Reich.
stag. Prince Bismarck himself had
once used the word lie. Herr Lssker
said the bill implied an attack on the
Constitution aud law, and he appealed
to the House TO reject 1t and hold firm
to the principle that nobody must be
allowed to touch the Reichstag's solemn
right to make It's own regulation for
the maintenance OF its own dignity.
Bismarck declared the Reichstag ct
liberty to accept such portions OF the
bill az IL thought proper. He could only
say to them. beneficial non OIlruduniur."
The time would como when the House
would regard the bill more favorably.
Despite the probable fate Of the bill. II
was the Governments duty to fulfl It's
responsibilities. The rest concerned the
House. As an instance Of the necessity
OF some means Of checking incendiary
utterances In the House, Bismarck
pointed 10 the fact thst Hszelmann had
during last session threatened insurrec-
ton by the words. let the Chancellor
remember the 18th Of March, l848;"
and stated that tho Government had
hoped to find energetic support In com.
batting Socialism. but that II had been
mistaken. He did not think the strug.
gle over as proved by the Breslau cleo.
ton. He proceeded to point to the
American regulations for securing the
propristy Of debate In Congress. and
concluded: 1--WE trust you will stand
by us in the fight against Socialism
longer than the two years prescribed by
the ntiSocialist law with the energy
which We expected Of you at the time OF
the elections and OF the attempts on the
life Of the Emperor, and that you will
not be deceived by the momsntary 81.
lence Of the Socialists"
In the Reiehstag to-day debate was
concluded on ths first reading Of the
Parliamentary Discipline bill. after re-
jecting by q large majority u proposal to
refer tho bill to q committee. Only two
groups Of the Right voted for that
course. The House then fixed debate
on the second reading Of the bill at the
full sitting Friday.
