DEER PARK, Nd, Aug. 29.-Congress-
man Mckinley was one of the principal
callers on President Harrison to-day. They
discussed the adyisability OF cOnvezing
congress in ext-a session. Mckinley
thinks az extra session inadvisable and
that congress could not be well assembled,
after hearing from the four new STATES, be-
fore November fret, and then there would
be but four working weeks, and that If by
the death of republicans or the election of
new members the majority be with the
democrats, the president would in calling
an extra session assume responsibility for
their actions, while this would net oe the
case IN q regular session.

ROCKVILLE may not become city this year. The manufacturers, who are the heaviest tax payers, opposing it, and their combined in- fuence being deemed sufficient to kill the move. The people who want municipal pow CT feel sore over it, especially as they say that the corporations do not maintain sidewalks or street lights on their own premises, though Having long stretches of frontage on the prin- cipal streets. The effort to procure city charter will go on, and probably the corpora tions will reserve their strength to use in op- position at the polls when the acceptance of the charter is submitted to the people.
 But whether Rockville is made city this year or some other year the agitation has answered purpose. The ambitious village (we had written it lttls village, but we cross out the ittle,-for prudential reasons) con- plains that it is not known abroad, that a Rockville man when abroad has to explain where his town is located and that it is large town. It is not pleasant to have to explain It's location as being 12 miles southwest of the thriving and widely known borough of Stafford Springs; it would be pleasanter to be able proudly to declare it to be the only city in Holland county, notwithstanding that the aforesaid T. A. w. K. B. of s. s. is in that county also. And to an extent the agita- tion will bring Rockville into notice, since with the application for 8 charter everybody will ask "Where is this Rockville, anyhow?" They will also inquire how large place it is, and if they accept the estimates of the resi- dents instead of looking up the figures of the last census-or waiting for those of the next they will be astonished that the village has so long languished like s wayside lily, unseen, unsuspected. We hope the move to make Rockville 8 city will succeed. For won't the glory of such an appendage be ours as being part of the county? And won't we all, Toi- land county people, severally and jointly, thenceforth turn up our noses at Windham county, which has nary city within it's bor- ders.

 MAJOR TIBB1Ts FOR CONSUL GENERAL.-We have already expressed the hope that Hon. John A. Tibbits, of New London, might suc- ceed Ex-Goy Waller as consul general at London, and believe that his appointment to that important office would meet with the cor dial approval of the republicans of Connecti- cut, who recognize and appreciate his able and faithful services. That Major Tbbits is the first choice of the republicans of this state for the place there can be little question. In Holland county his candidacy has received the endorsement of the party leaders and would, we are sure, be especially satisfactory to the republican masses, with whom he is popular on account of his ability ss cam paign orator, his brilliant career as speaker of the house, his services as an editor, and his excellent record as Union soldier. In many canvass Major Tibbits has spoken to the people of Holland county. There are few more popular and effective stump speakers, and not one in the state who has more freely given his time and his services. If the Con- necticut delegation in congress consult the wishes of the great majority of their republi- can constituents they will do all in their pow CT to secure the appintment of Major Tbbits That he will fill the office with ability and confer honor upon his state and his party, no one can doubt.
 | It is astonishing that of the at least 200 people in the silk mill wrecked at Reading, Pa., during the recent tornado, only IS were killed. The stories told by the girls who were taken out of the wrecked mill after spending night in the ruins are most pathetic. The catastrophe came absolutely
 without warning. Sallie Savage said the crash was SO terrible that she thought all
 the buildings in the city had fallen togeth-
 CT and that the end of the world had swal'
 lowed everything up. Katie and Willie
 Fitzgerald were hurled 90 feet into held,
 and could only imagine that they were be. ine dashed into deep we'll. Katie Gunthel
 said that four girls were wedged in neal
 her, and all thought that the world had come to an end by an earthquake. "We prayed all night" she added, ''and hoped that the ruins would not be burned up and
 us with them. We took turn about pray ling, and the foreman, who was also pinned
 fast, prayed along with us.' The tornado
 was as cratic as such manifestations us
 ually are. It struck Harrisburg at pm. doing very little damage, and then twisted
 upward and whirled eastward to Reading
 where it descended at 5 15. It then struck the Mount Penn stove-works, but did no ; descend in all its fury and force until il struck the paint shop, dwelling houses ana the silk mill. It must have then ascended
 again and been broken into various sec
 tions, north toward Niagara, eastward te Brooklyn,

SENATOR CLEVELAND of the Hartford district has introduced resolution for the incorpora- ton of the Hartford Burglary Insurance Con- pany, capital $1OO,ooO. The object is to in sure against loss or damage by burglary, rob bery or theft, or liability arising from any unknown or contingent event whatever, which may be the subject of legal insurance, other than losses usually covered by fire, marine, steam boiler, plate glass, accident and life in surance. If the company will take, what would seem natural course, and organize a bureau of detectives as part of it's working machinery, for the special care of it's own in- terests and detection of depredators upon the premises of it's own clients, it will be likely to secure considerable patronage, and will really be 8 mutual thief detecting society up- on large and most assuredly permanent scale

PETITIONS are being circulated urging the legislature to send to the people for adoption the constitutional amendment prohibiting in Connecticut the manufacture and sale of in toxicants. It requires two thirds vote of the present legislature to complete the second stage of its passage. Next it goes to the peo- pie, and getting majority vote becomes a part of the state constitution. Rhode Island, Kausas, and several western states have adopt ed such amendments, and though we are told that prohibition is a failure in all these states, the fact stands that it is in each fixture, and the majority of the people yet stand by it. In Rhode Island, particularly, we are told the same old story that ''more rum is sold than ever," yet were the matter to be submitted to the people today it would be endorsed by a stronger vote than at the time of the adoption of the amendment. If all who believe in pro- hibition, all who would see the rum traffic wiped out, will make their sentiments mani fest there will be no doubt about the passage of the amendment through the house. There are many who say that the liquor traffic can- not be suppressed, therefore they do not favor any futile efforts. But it will do no harm to give the people 8 chance to put themselves on
 ecord as voters, and this is all that the legis- lature is asked to do. The people can be trusted, surely, to settle this question, and when so large part of the people desire to have the question submitted to them for set clement, and that portion so desirous is so evidently the better class-those most in sym- pathy with the aspirations and desires of the founders of our commonwealth and the mak- CTS of our constitution legislators should heed the petition.
