would indicate the smaller estimate as being
the nearer correct.

THAT was what Mr.. Smith meant,
then, when he was telling the men down
at the drug store that you hadn't any
war record to brag Of"
"He did, ehP Smith is n liar"

have to commence ringing about ten
miles before they get to a station. or

bell could be heard! Wonderful. isn't
1t? l suppose they haven't invented
bells in America yet? why. yes,"
replied the Yankee, we've got bells,
but can't use them on our railroads.
We run so 'tarnal fast that the train
always keeps ahead of the sound. No
use whatever. the sound never reaches
the village till after the train gets by"

Cabinet Meeting To-day.

THRs EXTRA SESSION NOT DIsCUssEp-No PRos.
PECT OF SUCH A SRssIoN-wHAT TEE PRESI-
DENT SAID TO WESTERN CONGRESSMAN.
The Cabinet meeting this afternoon was COM
paratively short sitting OF thatbody. Secre-
tary Blaine was absent. He is confined to his
house by sore eyes, caused by a heavy
cold settling In them. The Cabinet did
not touch The subject OF an extra
session. The failure to discuss tnat mat
ter Is attributed by some to the absence
of Secretary Blaine. The more general sup
position, however, is that the extra session
agitation will be let down easily; that 1t has
already been practically determined to call no
session, and further discussion by the Cabinet
is unnecessary. The protests against an extra
session continue TO come 10 from all parts of the
Counfry-especially from the business centers
The southern republicans are the most anxious
for special session: They want the methods
OF election, which It is alleged prevail In the
south. Investigated at once. General Garfield,
II Is understood. has been opposed to an extra
session, but willing to hear arguments Ia favor
OF 1t. A western member OF Congress who call
ed at the White House today inquired OF the
resident ifstt was likely that he would be
called back to attend an extra session il he
went home. The President told hirn with a
laugh tnat he thought 1t was safe to go home.

friends Of Senator Conkling,-tha i5, the more
Violent ones,-say that he Intends to wage war
against the appointment at once. This can
hardly be his purpose. Judge Robertson
happens to be quite popular among the masses
IN New York. Again. he has received the
hhanlmous endorsement Of the New 1rk sen.
.te for continuation. Being popular With the
legislative branch or which ne is now q mem.
Der. and with the Influence Of the NeT YORK
senate behind him, MIR. Conkiing will hardly
feel prepared to rush III and invite war, more
especially IN view CT the fact that the leyisla-

has been made By either OF the New YORK Sena-
tors TO induce the President to withdraw Mr.
