AN EXTRA SESSION.
One VII Undoubtedly Be CAllsd-ReaSons for the
Session Found in the Need Of the
Republican Party.

WASHINGTON, December 8.-Inquiry
among the Republican Senators to-day de-
velops the fact that there is general feel
Ing in favor of an extra session OF the
Fifty-ftst Congress, to be called in the
spring. There are three patent reasons
gwen By th;se Senators why President
Harrison should call the new Congress to-
gethsr coon after the old one goes out.
First. the advisability of admitting the
new States in order to secure increased
Republican representation IN the Senate
and House by the time the first regular
session shall meet. Second, the necessity
of enacting tariff legislation, and third,
the grsat anxiety which majority of the
statesmen have to oust the Democratic
off sisls of the Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives and secure control Of its organi-
zation at once.
The Republicans do not take kindly to
the idea of allowing the Democratic oth-
cialI to retain control of the organiz alton
for nine months, when their own party can
Just as well have charge of affairs during
all of that time. President Harrison will
be very apt to accept the advice Of his old
colleagues in the Senate on this suhjtc',
and nearly all of them are decidedly In
taVOr of an extra session.

TIE COKE TRADE.
Business Booming and the Syndicate Prices
VIII 60 Up.

Business Booming and the Syndicate Prices
VIII 60 Up.
CoNNELLsvILLE, Dscsmber S.-The
Courier, in its weekly review of the coks
trade, says to-day:
By this time another week there won't
be an able-bodied coke works in the Con-
nellsyille region on idle. The past week
has seea the fires lighted in B. F. ksiter &
Co.'s Franklin Works and Reid Bros
Uniondale Works, and another week will
see the Diamond Works, the last of the
Mcclure Coke Co. g idle ovens, fired.
The demand for coke continues active
and increasing. New furnaces have gone
into blast both East and West, and iron
prices, though not advancing with bonn
like strides, are firmly maintained and
have a solid appearance that gives promise
of permanence. Coke prices were net ad-
vanced this month, ss some Of the more en-
thusisstic operators predicted, but it is
conceded that the figure will be $3.50 on
and after New YEARS. Day. An advance
in iron is anticipated at the same time. 1t
would perhaps have come sooner, bat sew.
eral of the large furnace firms, like several
of the large coke firms, were sold ahead to
the first of the year.
The failure to advance prices this month
is explained by an operator as follows:
"The scale Of the II. @. Frick Cake Co.
expires December 3lst, and as it stem 8
probable that q general scale can tesgeed
urou, it was deemed best not to insist upon
any advance just now in view of the fact
that this company has contracts at $l,35,
upon which figure their scale is based. Up.
pom this scale an advance to 81 80 would
carry with it such an advance in wages as
the balance of us don't feel willing to pay
when coke is at that figure. think the
operators generally are willing to join in
the adoption Of uniform scale, bat its
base will bs less than $l.35." The miners
have their scale about ready to present.

What a Member OF the City Gas Board
Has to Say about 1t.
A REGISTER reporter met Capt. Henry
Seamon, of the City Gas Board, last eve
ming and asked him what had become of
the scheme to put in an electric light
plant.
tine fact of the matter" said the Cap
tain, sis that we are all rather disgusted
with the manner things have been going
in reference 10 the proposed plant. We
have made several attempts to get meet
ing with the Council Committee on Lights,
but they always fail 10 have quorum, so
nothing can be done. For my part l am
about tired asking electric light nen to
come here and explain their systems,
when we have no authority even TO DO
anything more than listen TO them. While
we are not welded to any certain light,
still we have an idea Of the kind of one
we would use, and it is my idea to go
ahead and put in plant
for street lighting pur-
poses,, aud when we get the power conferred
Don US by the next Legislature we could
% ahead and supply private consumers at
once. 1t would be my idea to use the arc
light for street purposes and ineandet cent
in the housee, and we could also furnish
the arc lights to business houses as well. j"
s'The Board had a communication ready
to send into Council, stating that we had
done all in our power to secure the plant
and make it 90, bot we afterwards decid-
ed not to present it"
"Do you think there is any chance OF
the Board and the COMMITTEES having An
other meeting regarding the matter in the
near future?' =.
0WeIl, would like to see meeting, If
any good can be accomplished. We sre
anxious TO have the electric light plant in,
and if the Committee on Lights would
meet with US with that end in view, l
think we could soon reach a definite con-
clusion. Now is the time to act in the
matter, because if it is put off much longer
it will be everlsstingly too late. "

THIEVES FELL OUT.

How treasurer simons' Plot to Rob Darke
County Was Discovered.
CINCINNATI, Decembsr 8.-A dispatch
from Greenville, Ohio, says that L. D.
Ball, pleaded guilty to completely in the
robbery of the treasury of Darke county,
for which Treasurer Simons is now serV-
ing term in the Ohio Penitentiary. Bell
after pleading guilty and being sentenced
to two years in the penitentiary, sent for
two attorneys and made fall confession,
to the effect that Simons having become
defaulter, determined to rob the safe and
then employed his son, Bell and two or
three others to get up a sem0lauce OF a
burglary and robbery, while he was absent
a short distance in the country. The plan
was carried out. Bell received $500, Guy
er $500 and Hamilton 5000 for their SER
vices in planning the robbery" Guyer,
however, not being satisfied with his
share, kept dcgging Simons for more
money and finally revealed the conspiracy
sufficiently to convict Simons.

THE MONEY WILL FLY.

Watch Out Now for the Reign of Corrup-

WASHINGTON, December 8.-"You can
look out now fer the money to fly" said
Senator Vest to-day.
"The Republicans have got everything,
and they will make appropriations right
and left. They will pass the Service PEN
sion bill, which will use up at least $3.50,
600, 900; the Blair Educational bill, which
will absorb about S75, 600, 900; the Direct
Tax bill, which will amount to nearly $40,
600, 900, and the Lord kuows how many
other bills in the same line. They will
probably run the expenses Of the Govern
ment up to over $500, OOO,000 within two
years. They will soon get rid Of the sur
plus. That will not long be standing
menace to Mr.. Harrison's administration,
as it has been to Mr.. Cleveland's. The
Republicans will, no doubt, call in the
$50, 900, 900 now out in the National banks,
and that, with sll the extravaganza OF ap-
preparations, will bring ab3uS-well shall
not continue the subject turtner. Wait and

was announced that in casa the police

jourrment would be taken to Hiymarket

utterance by the reds since that fAteful

ment is shown in the fact that Chief of
Police Hubbard to-day issued an o:dsr,
holding nearly the entire city police force
of 500 men in reserve at various stations,
ready to be concentrated at any given
point on short notice.
When asked whs. he proposed to do,

either at 81 West Lake Street or in Hay
market Square, Eos for that matter will
thsy meet any where in Chicsgo either in
hall or in open air. II they attempt 1t

not allow any further Anarchist meetings.

where Anarchists congregate and will rec
ommend to the Mayor that their licenses
be revoked. There will be no tGmporiZing
and no hesitarcy fr,m this time out. Any
Anarchist meeting will be broken up or

Cant they meet if their speakers keep

That is impossible for an avowed An

The affair was Witnessed by small crowd,
each of whom paid five dollars for the
privilege. The ring was pitched in the
loft of a vacant barn. McGinnis, who is
a novice, had his jaw broken in the first
round by a sledge-hammer blow from
Glassey's right. After severe struggle in
the last round, the spectators with one &C.
cord demanded that the fight bs declared
a draw, which was scceded to by the ref
cree. Glassey's left eye was completely
closed and he was otherwise badly pun.
jshed. McGiunis was in pitiable condl-
ton, not only was his right jaw fractured,
but the left was fractured. He had swal-

badly lacerate1. The fight was with skin
gloves for purse of 5000, and lasted 80
minutes. 1t was brutal affair, in fact, a
vicious slugging match from beginning to
