AN EXTRA SESSION.
The Probability That an Extra Session
the New Congress Will be Called.

the New Congress Will be Called.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-There was con-
siderable discussion yesterday concerning
the probabilities of an extra session and
the prevailing opinion among the sbrewd-
est judges of public affairs was that mat
tiers were now tending in that direction.
They said it was apparent that but little,
if any, important legislation would be ac-
complished at the present session.
This view is emphasized by the fact of
the attitude of Democratic Senators toward
the Allison Aldrich Tariff blk which it is
clear they intend to fight inch by inch.
Should a vote be reached in the Senate on
this bill it is equally clear that the Demo-
cratic House will adopt the same course of
antagonism and tariff legislation at the
present session will therefore fail.
The wide differences of opinion respect
ing the admission of various Territories
into the Union developed in the caucus of
Tuesday night is regarded as another prime
factor in forcing an extra session, and the
ambition Of the several candidates for the
Speakership will also play an important
part in this Congressional drama.
While the majority Of Senators and
Representatives, both Democratic and Re-
publican, are averse to an extra session,
which if called will undoubtedly last sew
eral months, and doubtless the
President who is thoroughly
versed in cognate affairs, would
much prefer that the Fifty-first Congress
should assemble in due course on the first
Monday in December next, yet the large
amount of business likely to remain I'M
acted upon at the present session of u
political as well as National character, can
not in the nature of things be postponed
until the ensuing winter.
Moreover, in view of the narrow Re-
publican majority in the House. the Re-
publican members are anxious to perfect
their organization, appoint committees and
otherwise secure control of affairs before
death or other casualty may intervene to
prevent such a contamination.

DUE NOTICE GIVEN.

NEW YORK, March 6-The press COM
mittee of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers have given out a statement re-
garding the modus operandi of strike by
members of the brotherhood in which they
say: In every railroad office in the country
of any note there are scores of appli cations
Of would-be tiremen and engineers Under
ordinary circumstances not one in hun
bred of these men would be employed. But
when a manager Of road anticipates
trouble he asks the managers of other
roads for men and by common courtesy
they are bound to assist their brot hers in
distress" If large number of men are
wanted recruiting offices" are opened
and it is an easy matter for the managers
of would be assisting roads to send the
names, residences, etc, of the applicants
for positions on their roads to the recruit
ing agent" In addition to these covert
acts several roads are assisting the Chi
cago. Burlington & Quincy to handle its
freight and passengers, all in di-
rect violation good faith with
their engineers. Therefore, we now
say to them individually as men, and col
lectively as an organization, that if the
pending fight in which they have indi-
vidually and collectively labored for our
defeat is not settled before given date we
will all stop work until it is. All the
grand chief has to do is to say: "You have
my permission" and the thing is done
If he says No" it cannot
legally be done, according to
the rules of the order. In the present case
he cannot consistently withhold his per-
mission under the existing provocation
and his personal failure TO effect an AMIGA
bic settlement. Realizing the magnitude
of our proposed action, we have given the
Chicago. Burlington g. Quincy and the
public due notice of our Intention.

had confiied to him his purpose to issue
the proclamation long before it was made

of the negro vote and declared that in the
south that vote was being cast for the
nominees of the Democratic party. But
for the miserable carpet baggers who
went south to prey upon a poverty stricken

division between the people of the south
and their former slaves. But the colored
people now knew that their interests were

no longer be misled by the threats of the
Republican leaders.

THE POST AT FORT RILEY.
The Junction City Board Of Trade Urges
the Completion of the Works.

JUNCTION CITY, Kan, March 6.-At a
full meeting of the Junction City board of
trade, held this evening, the following ex-
preston was made concerning the artillery
and cavalry schools now in progress at Fl.
Riley:
Whereas, The United States military
authorities during years of neglect and the
practical abandonment of Fl. Riley
persistently refused to reduced the
military reservation or open any
part of it to settlement, thus
retarding the growth of this section, have
at last commenced the rebuilding and de-
velopment of the post on a liberal scale
The contracts let consume all the money
appropriated, and upon their completion
in few months the work must stop sdort
of ends designed by the authorities;
that the desires of the military de-
partment with regard to Fort Riley
are of great consequence to con-
troll Kansas, providing for the dis
bursement of hundreds Of thousands of
dollars in our midst. now expended for the
same purpose elsewhere; which will make
horse, stock and grain market equal to
the best in the country: for the absolute
necessities of the government more can be
obtained for the money expended in this
way at Fort Riley than for any other dis
bursement of public funds; therefore, be it
reserved, by Cne DOafu OF Cfdue OIL d uIC-
ton City that the senator's and repre-
sentatives in congress from the state Of
Kansas, are respectfully requested to
assist the military authorities in securing
liberal appropriations for the continuance
of the work they have on hand at Fort
Riley as matter of interest to this por-
ton of their constituents, and as an
important factor in the general develop
ment of the state, lest a suspension of
work might be dangerous or fatal to the
splendid and extensive plans contemplated
by the department at this post.
Resolved, That while we believe in a re-
sponsible construction of public buildings
at points where business necessitates
and requires them, we doubt if
such distribution of the funds
as 100000, s2OOOOO and 500, 900 for single
building for limited use in cities where
the government could rent for less expense
and overlooking military establishment
where a whole brigade can be housed
for the cost of one of these buildings,
thus adding for all time to the various
productive industries of several
counties and bringing into our midst, &C
cording to the designs of the military, the
most important post of the government.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolu
tons be sent to each senator and repre-
sentative in congress from the state of
Kansas.

Curious Album of Photos.

A local photographer, who does fashion
able trade, has curious album of photos.
They are of women's hands, and every hand
is distinguished by one ring. Some years
ago, he tells me, a young society woman who
had very pretty hands experienced the fancy
to have the one on which her sweetheart had
recently put an engagement ring pictured.
The fashion being thus set is, he says, still
kept up. Not ell Of the hands are beautiful
ones by any means. In fact really pretty
hands ere in the minority. There is pre-
ponderance of fat palms and stubby fingers
that does not speak well for the manual re-
finement of our best society. But even the
best kept hands, unless they are symmetrical
in proportion, are liable to look clumsy in a
photograph The variety of rings on this
collection of pictures is a credit to our jewel
ers.. Indeed you can trace the fashions in
rings for several years by them. If l had
the value of those rings" said the photogra-
pher, metitatively, 81 think could spend a

CHICAGO, March 6-Tonight, for the first
time since the Burlington strike began,
Chiefs Arthur and Sargent were absent
from their headquarters. They were gone
all the evening and their deputies, j. j.
O'Brien and A. w. Logan, gave out the
intimation that the chiefs were at a con-
cert or some similar entertainment. Many
persons, however were slow to accept the
excuse, and suspected some connection be-
tween the unwonted absence of Messrs
Arthur and Sargent and the arrival in the
city tonight of the general manager of the
Fl. Wayne road and General Manager
Spicer, of the Chicago & Grand Trunk.
u. 1t was reported tonight that five Pitts
burg, Fit. Wayne & Chicago and three
Grand Trunk crews had refused to haul
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy cars. The
men quit their engines, it is said, though
this was denied by the strikers. At

sertion that the Burlington is prepared to
confine itself to business over its own
tracks. Such thing, he said, was an i'm
possibility and to any railroader absurd on
its face.
The reticence Of the railroad officials
over the proposed congressional inter
vention is here regarded as conclusive evil
dence that it was feared by the company.

mouthpieces were endeavOring to spread a
false impression regarding the provisions
