GARFIELD ANXIOUS NOT TO

CHICAGO, March 81. - The Tribune's
Washington special says: The President
| has certainly not yet decided upon an ex-
ira session. The opposition is mucn
stronger than he believed, and he is very
| anxious not to make a mistake in the mat
ter. Robson, Refer and others have rep
resented to him that it would be unwise
and impolitic. They say the entire amount
Of outstanding six per cents can be paid
before next December with the surplus
revenues and a portion Of the cash now in
the Treasury, and that it would be better
to reduce the interest charged by redeem
ing $500, 600, 600, or even $3.50, 000, 900 of
the high-rate bonds, than to disturb bust
ness and put the country to the expense of
an extra session. The Treasurer estimates
the surplus revenues for ten months of the
calendar year at 500, 000, 600, and should
this be realized, without doubt the Secre-
tary of the Treasury could redeem and
cancel $3.50, 000, 900 Of the outstanding 6hs
before January 1. This saving would
equal what any measure passed by an ex-
ira session would effect. The Republican
party would be held responsible for any
imperfect %refunding bill, and would suffer
damage in consequence.

College.

that the university buildings erected are
to be approved by the donor; that five of
the sixteen present trustees resign, and
other conditions less radical.

BLooMINeToN (Ill.), March PA letter
from Senator David Davis, to private
| friends here, denies that he intends to re-
sign his Senatorship and retire to private
life. He intends to serve out his full term

vote himself TO his business-interests
which are daily growing larger. During
the coming Summer he contemplates

An Old Friend of GarfieId's.
WASHINGTON, March 21.-The Star has
the following: When President Garfield
was a Representative in Congress, years
ago, he dropped in on United States
Treasurer Spinner one day. Said Gar
field "Do you know that in one of the
lower rooms of this building there is at
work an old classmate of mine. He was
wonderfully apt at college. He could
beat me at my lessons and is quick and
honest"
"What is his name ?" asked Spinner.
James Gilfllan," was the reply.
Whereupon Treasurer Spinner sent for
him, made arrangements to promote him
and advanced him rapidly. The same
james Gilfllan is to-day the Treasurer Of
the United States, and a thoroughly eff
Gent, honest officer, as everybody knows.

Committee Of Foreign Relation to-day

fication without amendment. The treaties
