the Extra sessiou-The Porter Case.
NEW YORK, May 2S.-A usually
we'll Informed Washington special
says to-day that, though some
think that the session will collapse
by the middle of June, there are
stronger reasons to believe 1t will
last we'll on to August.
1t is reported In Washington that
the President has decided not to
approve the findings of the recent
Board of Inquiry in the Fitz.John
Porter case, but will refer 1t for ex-
animation and revision to General
Dunn, Judge Advocate General of
the army. The Washington Star
says: It is stated by the oppon-
ents of Porter, that large mass of
evidence which YVES excluded by
the Board would, II admitted, have
materially changed the aspect Of
the case. Until the case has been
thoroughly reviewed and the re-
Communications of the Judge Ad-
vocate. General received, the Presi-
dent will take no action In the
matter. Several members who
composed the original dismissing
court-martial in Porter's case have
taken exceptions to the recent
Board OF Inquiry that acquitted
Porter, aud regard that result as q
reflection upon them. 1t is also in
timated in army circles that this
action of the President will end In
the reopening of the case.
