(From Cur Regular Correspond nt.l


 Senators Allison, Cullom and Chandler
 have held a number of important pollti-
 cal conferences with influential republi- cans here this week. beginning with the
 President before he went away Tuesday
 afternoon, and continuing through the
 week with others. The subjects under
 consideration were the coming election
 in the four new states and the calling of an extra session of congress so as to get the House organized and ready for work
 before the Christmas holidays. The new states are all believed to be republican
 notwithstanding the result of the recent election in Montana, but information
 lately received as to secret deals the democrats have made with certain rail roads has opened the eyes of the repub-

 week were for the purpose of mapping out this work. It is believed to be all fixed and the democrats will find their secret railroad deals protitless. As to the extra session 1t has been decided that one will be called about the first Of November. It was first thought that the first of October would be a better date, but owing to the very narrow repu bli- can majority ih the house, which sickness or death might wipe out entirely, it was concluded to select the former date be- cause that would give the members elected from the new states, who are ex- pecteG to be all republicans, chance to take their seats.
