Brooks and His License Bill.

HtREIsBvRg, December Representative
Brooks, Of Philadelphia, who introduced the
High License bill. said to-day that, in view
Of the beneficial workings of the law, no ma
terial amendment would be made 20 it. The
courts having decided that the provision pro-
hibiting persons from giving intoxicating
drinks in their houses on Sunday was un-
constitutional, that feature would probably
be stricken from the bill. Submission Of a
substitute to the bill, taking from the judges
the discretionary power they possess in issu-
ing licenses may be expected either from
Philadelphia or Pittsburgh bat the chances
offs success were not encouraging.
It was Mr.. Brooks's opinion that the joint
resolution proposing a prohibitory amend
ment TO the good effects Of high license
would consign it to defeat at the hands OF
the voters OF Pennsylvania.

shall There be an Extra Session ?


WAsNINGroN, December 5.-some enter
prising newspaper correspondents dubbed
together to-day and made a very thorough
canvass Of the Republicans Of the two Hous-
Is as 10 the ACCESSIBILITY Of an extra session
OF the Finy-irst Congress for tariff revision,
or the division and admission to Statehood
Of Dakota and othel territories, or both pur-
poses. The feeling is almost unanimous that
an extra session Is inevitable e a tariff bill
is not adopted by both branches Of this Con
gress, and more than half Of the Repabii-
cars favor an extra session on the territorial
question alone. Assuming that there is to
be no tariff legislation, and that the terrific
Fies are not 70 be admitted this session, an
extra session in April must be looked for.
The first reason presented is, Of course. the
necessity for an early organization of the
House because Of the small majority. Judge
Payson, one Of the Oldest and strongest
members from illinois. expressed the gener-
al feeling when he said that he expected the
new Congress 10 meet in April that they
coald pass substantially the Senate tariff
bill. which would be disposed of by the Sen
ate this session OF course it would rave
then % pass the new Senate again tina they
would admit South Dakota, Montana and
Washington Territories, and pass an enab-
ling act for North Dakota, and that they
would perfect some general pension iegisla-
ton before the regular session in December.
"A have no desire TO conceal my motive for
admitting the Territories in The spring. We
have a very small majority in each House.
More especially IN the Senate is it desirable
that this majority should be increased in the
Fihy-irst Congress. These three territories
are entitled TO representation during the new
Congress. think We should admit these
territories during an extra spring session, so
that they may be fully organized into States
