EXTRA SESSION PROSPECTS.
1t Looks Very Much as If One Would
Be Held.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Most men in
congress believe that there will be
an extra session Of the Fifty-frst con
gross. Everybody in the House is
talking about it, and the man WAC ven
lures an opinion that there will be no extra
session is 10 ked upon by his colleagues as
ignorant Of the situation. From th first
there has Jeen difference of opinion as to
the advisability Of having congress in
session during the first month of Gen. Harri-
sons admin .tration. Many men on the
republican side have Neen declaring that
Tn -re should be an extra session regardless
Of the action Of this Jngress. Others have
thought that it ought to be avoided if
possible. The speakership candidates have
all been talking extra session for
weeks now. The opinion Of the subject
does not depend upon personal desires
These who oppose as well as tn Sc who favor
an extra session express the belief that it is
inevitable. The republicans want their
ultimate majority OF 25." They want the
organization Of the House, win its Offices
They want their new rules, to say nothing
of the legislation they want. Still, Gen.
Harrison has said that be dreaded the Office
seekers an extra session ould draw here.

MUDDLED BY THE SENATE.
The Outcome of the Plot to Thwar-
Secretary Bayard.

Secretary Bayard.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3l.-In determin-
ing to recommend the English ex radi-
ton treaty to permanent burial in
the committee OF foreign relations
the republicans of the Senate have annulled
the last important piece Of Secret ry
Bayard's work that they have been able to
lay their hands on. The first of his i'm
portant successes, this extradition treaty,
soiled by the addition Of the Sherman anti
dynamite amendment, was deliberately
shelyed by the republica IS until after the
presidential election in order that they
might make political capital out of it. Now
that it has served this purpose it is put out
Of sight.
A HARD ROW TO HOE.
Minister PhelDs successor will have a
hard time getting another extradition
treaty from the E glsh government.
Nothing but a conjunction Of favorable
circumstances, including the presence OF
Lord Roseberry at the head of the British
foreign office, abled Minister Phelps to
succeed where his predecessors had failed.
We will all suffer for this action Of the
Senate, just at the fishermen will suffer who
cannot get licenses next summer under the
recent order Of the Canadian government
suspending the mOdtS UiUeadt, and so re-
opening the old quarrel, because the Senate
would not ratify the fisheries treaty.
CHINA ALSO PUT OUT.
China, too, Is likely to show us the mean
ing of reciprocity. The Chinese ministry
accepted from Secretary Bayard the in
demnIty for the Chinese outrages in the
west in an amicable spirit, but he asked,
"What about our treaty rights under the
exclusion billsW Whoever takes the state
portfolio will find that the republican SEN
ators have, in trying to thwart Secretary
Bayer1, seriously embarrassed Secretary
Bayard's successor. Should he be Mr.
Blaine, Chairman John Sherman OF the
committee on foreign relations is likely to
embarrasS aim even further.

resolved that another vote shall not be re-
qulred upon the question of division. There
was lack If uraninity, however, in regard
to New Mexico, which the House bill pro-
poses to admit on like terms with the other
ter itories, and senators were not wanting
in support Of tbs adoption OF broad nom

The Senate spent four hours this after
noon in consideration of the British extra

pending.
1t was hardly expected when the Senate
ad journed Yesterday that the treaty would
be again taken up to-day, but it transpired
that the op osition had become SO strong
that its leaders determined to assume the
aggressive, and, therefore, heartily seconded
the motion to go into executive session on
the matter. Tn n there was a general
attack on the treaty, which lasted all the
afternoon.
THE ORIGINAL PLAN.
1t was part of the original plan of the
opposition (Which was not confined 10 one
party to endeavor to have tho treaty re-
committed to the committee on foreign re-
lations and prevent it being again reported,
and this motion was made at the proper
time. 1t was defeated, however, for the
reason, apparently, that it had meanwhile
been determined by tie opposition that it
would be better to dispose of the matter at
once, as they felt confident of their ability
to defeat the treaty.
Then followed the presentation of for
NAL resolution to declare the treaty rati-
fed.
At this stage, however, a democratic
senator, availing himself of his right under
