NEW lORk, mhIcn zz.-lHe 1ihoS
Washington special says: A large number
of letters have been received by the Presi-
dent from business men, during the past
three days, advising against an extra ses-
sion, and many members of Congress have
personally called at the White House for
the express purpose Of protesting against
a called session at this time. The current
belief is, however. that the President
deems an extra session necessary, and 1t
will be called to meet in the latter part OF
April. Nearly all the New York journals
believe that an extra session has been de-
cided upon. The prevalent impression on
both sides Of the Senate chamber to-day
was, hat an extra session of Congress will
certainly be called, and the sentiment in
favor OF holding one appears to have
gained great strength among the Republic
cans, while the Democrats, except on ac-
count Of the consideration of personal con-
venience, profess to be equally DESTROYS
that the proposed call should be issued.
The Republicans desire for it sprung from
an apprehension that the defeat of the
Funding bill may be used against the party
next Fall. unless they in the meantime
make an effort to enact some new measure,
and from a desire to set the Elections Com
mittee machinery at work to unseat a num-
Der of Democrats from Southern districts,
and thus secure a working majority for the
regular session OF the House Of Represen-
tatives. The Democrats, on the other
hand, express themselves as satisfied that
the Republicans will fail to obtain the
passage of any funding bill materially diff
ferent from the one which r. B. Hayes
vetoed, and that their opponents will in
the END be Obliged either to accept sub
stantially the same measure, or else go be-
fore the country with practically the same
responsibility that the extra session is to
be called for the purpose Of avoiding. The
Democrats declare that what was known
as the Carlisle section in the vetoed fund
ing bill, the fifth section against which the
banks fought so desperately, must be in
sisted upon, andif necessary made a party
question. A few OF the Democratic mem
bers-elect are opposed to it, but an over
whelming majority Of Democrats in both
houses favor it strongly, and with the aid
Of the Greenbackers, and a considerable
number of Western Republicans, they
would in all probability be able to compel
its retention or insertion in every funding
measure that may be brought before either
house for consideration.
The New Chinese Treaties.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-The action Of
the Committee OF Foreign Relations yes.
terday in reporting favorably to the Senate
upon the new Chinese treaties was, though
nominally unanimous, essentially formal,
as it was not preceded by any detailed
consideration Of the merits Of the treaties,
nor accompanied with any understanding
that the members should thereby be pre-
cluded from offering amendments, or in
deed from offering favorable action in the
Senate. it being universally conceded that
these important treaties, which had already
been examined by former committees,
must be disposed Of during the present
session, and it being equally evident that
any discussion which might arise in this
committee concerning them, would have to
be one over. In the Senate the favorable
report was asked by common consent,
simply as the readiest means Of expediting
final action. 1t should be added that there
is not likely to be any serious opposition to
to the ratification Of the treaties.
Again Comes the MOrey Business.
New York, March 22.-The Tribune
says: 1t is reported again that the rascal
who forged the Morey letter has been
hunted down, and that he and his accom-
plices will be dragged into the sunlight Of
publicity before long. A Washington cor
respondent telegraphs that a gentleman
who has had considerable to do with en-
cheering the search for the author OF the
Morey letter, has stated positively that all
the parties implicated in the affair are
known and that as soon as the testimony
can be put in proper shape a full and
damning exposure will be made. He also
said that all parties implicated would be
prosecuted in the courts.
A Godsend to Great harrington.
New York, March 22.-The town Of
Great Darlington, Mass, is made happy
by the settlement there Of Mrs. Mark
Hopkins, widow Of the California million
aire. 1t is said that she will claim the
town as her residence, in order to save a
large amount of taxes in San Francisco,
and the people of Great Darlington are
looking forward to having her pay the
bulk Of the taxes Of that town, as her per-
sonal property and Pacific Railroad stock
bonds will all have to go into her list.
The Shooting OF John M. Cram.
CHICAGO, March 22.-John M. Cram, q
salesman of this city. was shot and killed
at his home in Lake View last night. by

self. No cause Ii known. The affair is
very mysterious.
LATER-It appears that Seymour wanted
to marry Grams daughter. He was 20
and she Is 16 years of age. Mr.. Cram
would not permit the marriage ON account
Of his daughters extreme youth and Sey-
mour's reckless and disreputable manner
OF life. In fact Seymour drove from Chi
cage to Lake View last night with Q young
cyprian, telling her he was going to get
money, and would divide with her.
This woman drove back when she heard
the fatal shots fired, and told the story.
Cram was a most worthy and respectable
man, and in comfortable circumstances.
Seymour was also OF good family.
Grant Disappointed.
New York, March 22.-Gen. Grant says
he will resign tomorrow or next day the
Presidency Of the Worlds Fair, because he
will be absent in Mexico ten weeks, and
then at Long Branch for the Summer.
The Commissioner say. however, that the
Fair will be carried forward. They say
that Grant was disappointed because his
did not attract great numbers of
contributions.
