AN EXTRA SESSION PROBABLE.

WASHINGTON, ID. O., Feb. 13.-An
extra session of Congress appears to be
the talk at the capitol. Opinion is now
about evenly divided on that
question, though few weeks
ago there were but few men
who believed that an extra session was
remote impossibility. Amember said
this afternoon: "I cannot see how we
can expect to get through the business
before us in the few remaining days
between this and the 4th of March.
There are four bills, each one of which
will take six days to dispose Of" These
are the naval, legislative, sundry civil
and post-ofice appropriation bills.
Think Of it. Mr.. Randall stated that
an extra session would be disastrous to
the interests of the Democratic party,
at the same time warning the House
that there is great danger that such a
contingency cannot be avoided.

VISITORS TO BE SCRUTlNIZED.

LONDON, Feb. 13.-The recent dyna-
mite explosion in the House of Com
mons having demonstrated the fact,
under the existing rules for admitting
strangers to the galleries and lobbies of
the Houses of Parliament, that it would
be an easy matter for dynamiters to
convey explosives into the build
1ngs during the session of Par
Lament and cause the death of
many members of the government, it
has been decided to adopt more strin-
gent rules regulating the admission
of visitors. Members of Parliament in
future will not be allowed to introduce
strangers into the galleries and lobbies,
the speaker of the House of Commons
alone having the right of granting tick
cts Of admission to visitors, and he will
only issue tickets to members for their
friends after having received weeks
notice SO that in the meantime the ante
cedents of the proposed visitors can be
inquired into. Turnstiles will be erect
ed &c the entrances to the galleries and
lobbles and experienced detectives be
posted at each turn-stile to carefully
scrut1nlze the strangers as they pass.

EVA MACKEY'S WEDDING.

PARIS, Feb. 12.-Miss Eva Mackey
was married to-day to Ferdinand Julian
Colonna, prince of Galatra. The cere-
mony, which was private, was performed
with pontiical high mass by Monsignor
De 'Reude, papal nuncio, in the Nuncio
Chapel IN this city. Only forty persons
were present. The nuptial benediction
was administered by Monsignor De-
'Reude, who also delivered the marriage
address. The civil ceremony of mar
riage, which is required by the
French law, was performed yes
terday. The witnesses to this
were Prince Colonna D'Orroi,
Prince Colonna, United States Minister
Morton and Duke Decazes. After the
celebration Of the religious rite, to-day,
Mrs. Mackey, mother of the bride, gave
a grand bridal reception, which, in every
respect, must rank with the most mag
nificent festivals of French history
The reception was especially distin-
guished by the quality of the guests,
among whom we're included about every
person of distinction and worth in
French society. Conspicuous among
these were Gen. Compile Menabrea,
Italian ambassador to France, Count
Camondo and Nine. Wyse Bonaparte.

of the court of appeals, died this morn
ing at the Anchorage (Ky.) Lunatic
Asylum, after q long illness with chronic
diseases. It will be remembered that Bu-
ford shot and killed Judge Elliott for
rendering an adversedecision against Blu
ford's sister in case involving consid-
cradle property. After a most sensa-
tional trial, that had become cele-
brated, Buford was adjudged a lunatic
and sent to an asylum from
which place he escaped, going across
the river into Indiana, where he lived
about year, hunting and fishing, the
asylum officials being unable under the
law to bring him back to Kentucky.
Without friends and money, Buford
grew sick, and was finally forced by
want to go back to the asylum, where
he remained till his death. It is only
seven years since he killed Judge Ell
lott, but in that time Buford saw his
family lose all the property, and the
trouble of his brother was undoubtedly
the cause of the suicide of the noted
turfman, Gen. Abe Buford, who killed
himself last summer.

NEARLY A WRECK.

LAWRENCE, Kas., Feb. 14.-Thel g
was an attempt made yesterday, by three
tramps to wreck an east bound Santa Fe
passenger train. The parties boarded
the train at Topeka and refused to pay
fare. AS there were no stops between
Topeka and Lawrence, the conductor
did not attempt to put them of, but
waited till the train arrived here, when
he locked the doors of the car and de-
handed their fare or threatened to have
them arrested. Opening the window
they escaped, and, walking down the
track, broke lock on the switch and
turned it. The engine was ditched, but
the rest of the train was saved by the
slow speed at which the train was NOV
ing. AS it was, a few bruises to the en-
gineer and fireman, was all the personal
damage done. The wreck was cleared
SO that the trains were moving by noon.
Two of the parties have been captured
and the third has been traced to Leaven-
worth.

NEW PENSION OFFICE POLITICS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-At meeting
of the committee on payment of pen
sions, bounty and back-pay, to-day,
Comstock, chief of the Western Di-
vision, testified that he was instructed
during the recent campoign, by Com
missioner Dudley, to extend to Grubbs
lind. the same privilege accorded con-
gressmen in presenting pensions.
Grubos was the Republican candidate
for Congress from the Fifth District of
that state, and was the opponent of
Representative Matson, the Democratic
candidate. Such an order, Comstock
said, was considered strange both by
himself and the clerks in the Office. 1t
had been the practice to extend these
privileges to ex-members of Congress,
but never before had they been extend
ed to any person who had not served in
Congress, and who, like Grubbs, was a
congressional candidate. A number of
clerks were examined who corroborated
the testimony given yesterday that or
ders were given to hold rejected cases
until after election.

AMBUSHED AND KILLED.

SUAKIM, Feb. 13.-Small parties of
hostile Arabs have reappeared to
menace the garrison. A spy returned
from Peheim, the place where recon
noitering party of hussars and Egyptians
was attacked on the Sd inst. The hus-
sars got as far as Handoub without
opposition, but having on their way out
burned native village without reason,
they were attacked on their return at
Hespeim, which is three miles from
Handoub. The attacking party lay in
ambush and the Arab fire was so terri
BILE that the hussars could not face it,
and saved themselves from humiliation
by retreating at full gallop in circle to
Suakim. Eight hussars and three
Egyptians were lost. Col. Freeman
commanding at Suakim, in reporting
the incident, stated that the officer in
command of the hussars had exceeded
his authority in ordering the burning
of the Arab village. Spies were at
once sent out to ascertain the fate of
missing troopers. The spy who re-
turned could learn nothing, but he
found in the desert, the scene of the
fight, several articles of clothing which
evidently belonged to the missing men.
Thes spy fetched these articles to Sua-
kim. ALI are pierced as if by spears.
The spy reports that he found the
enemy encamped at Hesheim.

MRS. DUDLEY IN COURT,

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-Mrs. Lucille
Yseult Dudley, who shot O'Donovan
Rosa, to-day was taken to the supreme
court on writ of habeas corpus ob-
tanned yesterday by her counsel. The
courtroom Was thronged with specta-
tors. Her counsel claimed that as she
had not been convicted of any ofense,
she should be released from imprison-
ment or admitted to bail. Counsel for
the prosecution argued that Mrs. Dudley
was held to await Rossa's ability to ap-
pear against her as witness. Counsel
TOR the accused said that writ had
been applied for because it had been
publicly stated that Rossa did not him
sell propose to prosecute the woman.
physicians who examined Rossa said he
was able to appear and testify. There
was no reason why the examina-
ton should not proceed. Mrs. Dud-
ley felt that she ought to be
informed who her accuser was.
Counsel for the prosecution stated that
he assumed that the people would
take the usual course in this case for an
assault upon the street. Judge Dono-
hue declared that he would not inter-
tere with the police magistrate in the
matter. Counsel for the prosecution
then asked to have the writ dismissed
and the prisoner remanded. Judge
Donohue granted the request. Mrs.
Dudley's counsel stated that he would
apply Immediately to the police magis-
trate to have an examination or for the
release of the prisoner.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

ST.. PAUL, Feb. 11.-Decisions were
filed in the Hennepin County district
court, Monday, in the action brought by
the St. Paul & Sioux City Railway
Company and the st. Paul & Chicago
Railway Company against F. S. Nc
Donald, auditor, and Frank Slocum,
treasurer, of Hennepin County, to re-
strain those defendants from taxing
certain railroads in Hennepin County.
These actions had been brought on test
cases in matter involving the taxation
of some 100000 acres of land belonging
to those railroads, and in order to get a
legal opinion on subject which has of
late been much agitated. The decision
of Judge Young in the action brought
by the st. Paul & Chicago Railway
Company is in effect that the title to
the land did not pass to the stockhold-
ers, but must still remain with the rail
road company, and therefore the land
is not taxable. Judgment was there
fore entered granting the injunction de-
handed by the plaintiff.

CHARGED WITH HIGH TREASON.

LONDON, Feb. 9.-Further examina-
ton of James G.. Cunningham and
Harry Burton, charged with conspiracy
IN causing the explosion at London
Tower began to-day at the Bow Street
police station. The courtroom was
crowded with spectators. No unusual
demonstrations were made. Harry
Burton declined the services of conn
sci and said he would defend himself.
Poland opened the case for the Grown,
de created sensation by immediately
announcing the withdrawal of the
charge of conspiracy and the substitu-
tlon OF that OF high treason and felony
against both prisoners jointly. Under
the new Indictment the solicitor pro-
ceeded to state that the testimony the
Grown would produce would sustain the
charge of high treason and felony
against the prisoners. In doing this
Poland, of necessity, repeated the his
tory narrated at the former examination
OF Cunningham and Burton. Poland
continued to analyze the many false
hoods told to the police by the prisoner.
he had averred that he arrived in Liv-
erpool on the steamship Adriatic in
September and worked as laborer on
the docks in that city three months.
This story has been found to be false.
The truth was that Cunningham left
New York December 10 and reached
Liverpool aboard the Adriatic Deem
Der 20. He remained at Liverpool but
short time, and then came to London
and brought the brown trunk of Ameri-
can make with him. Poland said that
as yet the case for the Grown against
both prisoners was only in it's infancy. In
regard to Burton it has been ascertained
that he arrived in Liverpool December
"a, four days after Cunningham. When
Cunningham came to London he went
to live in Prescott Street. When Bur
ion came he lived in Mitre Square, Old
gate. Although Burton asserted that
he never met Cunningham but once
and then only casually, when he bought
from him, a stranger, the brown trunk,
it will be shown that he was in Gun
ningham's company on the 10th of
January. The Grown will also prove
that the headquarters of the conspiracy
in which the prisoners were engaged
was in America. It will be shown that
the men came from America to London
bringing with them dynamite with the
