WASHINGTON.
Extra Session.


| WASHINGTON, June 49, Parties who talked
with the President this morning are divided
as to whether he will call another extra ses-
| sion
| II is believed when the usual joint commit
mittee waits upon the Executive to inquire IL
he has any further communication to make
to Congress, informing him that they are
ready to adjourn, that he will return 10 the
House message calling attention to the f.ct
they have failed to make the necessary pro-
visions for the marshals and requesting them
to do so before adjourning, If the majority
| shall then pass resolution and adjourn, not
outstanding the Presidents request, the
| President will not further insist on another
| session.
Adjournment.
The Senate Committee on Appropriations
decided to postpone action on final adjourn
ment to Monday.
Judicial Bill.
The President received the judicial expen-
ses bill at 2.20 o'clock. 1t will be referred to
the Attorney General this afternoon and sign
ed Monday
Up to a late hour the President had not
critically examined the bill in its official
form, although he had knowledge of its con-
tents from published proc, eiings of Congress,
In accordance with the usual custom the bill
will be sent to the Attorney General for his
Judgment, but there seems to be no doubt it
will receive the Presidents approval.
Veto.
Bill for payment of United States marslials
etc. will be vetoed. on grounds stated by the
President in his late message for Withholding
his signature from the judicial expenses bill,
namely That the proposed enactment de-
prives him in effect of ordinary and neces-
lac La
the statute book and embraced within consti-
tutional duty TO see that the laws are enforc-
ed. The Presidents veto message will be
brief. He will refer to his former one AZ be-
| ing applicable to the bill as now passed, and
which reached him late this afternoon. Mes
sage will be sent to the House Monday, with
announcement that he approves the judicial
| bill.
The Presidents inclination is to recon
vene Congress by proclamation should an
adjournment occur without an appropriation
for payment of marshals ing been made,
which he considers as an important part OF
| the judiciary and whose services are indis-
pensabe to administration of Justice and en-
forcemcnt Of laws.
To adjourn without such appropriation
would leave unperformed part OF the bust
ness for which the session was caused. OF
course it is desired by the President that the
provisions for pay of marshals should be free
from objections applicable to the one just
passed.
Confirmed.
| The Senate confirmed several army pro-
motions and transfers and cadets 10 be liea-
tenants.

treasury department that offers of silver
bullion for sale to the department will be re-
| ceived Wednesday of each week, commence
