probably The session will be over
before the beginning Of the York
town celebration. Speaker Randall
says it is doubtful if $ alter of Oregon
can get here. He is in the extreme
north part of Oregon and will have
scarcely time to reach the capitol
even with the utmost diligence.
Senator Growers health may be such
that hurried trip to Washington
will be dangerous to him, but he can
doubtless obtain pair with Platt,
Of Conn, who is also i'll.
Arthur will not Occupy the White House.

badly reside at Il private hotel until

The Extra Session.
WASHINGTON, Sept. Ex-senator
Bayard this morning said he had yet
to hear of q Senator of either party
who expected the Senate to organize
except with the election of Dem
ocratic presiding officer, Previous
to the admission of new Senators, a
clerk would also be necessarily elect
ed to complete the organization and
making Il record of other officer s
who were not necessary to proper
organization for business and would
not be elected until the subsequent
admission Of new Senators. Any
change in the committee will be made
when the Senate is full, as the Dem.
ocrats would be exactly equal in
numbers to the Republicans. He
thought they would demand and re-
ceive without resistance an equal re-
presentation upon all committees.
Of course this meant organization of
them, but it would be done by
agreement and without excitement.
He thought those who looked for an
exciting session of the Senate would
be disappointed. Ii would probab-
ly be the quietest in history. The
session need not take more than q
week.
| Arthur Determined 10 be President.
The Herald, apparently going in
for the new Administration, says:
Arthur takes the helm of state re-
