TO MEET IN NOVEMBER,

General Belief That tho President Has
Determined to Call an Extra Session of
Congress.
WASHINGTON, Aug: 16-It is now general
~ conceded on all sides that there
will be an extra session of Congress
It is believed that the President has
at last made up his mind definitely
to call both houses together by the
first week in November Those who pre-
tend to know say that the one thing which
made the President hesitate so long before
coming to determination was the uncer-
tainty which existed as to the position
which might be assumed by some of che
Southern Republicans in the organization
OF the House. There is no longer
any doubt on this score, if there ever was
any at all Each and every Republican
from the Southern States has been heard
from Every man among them has ex-
pressed his determination to work for the
caucus nominees
There is hardly any chance that the con-
tested election cases can be settled before
the holiday recess The Democrats have
already announced their determination
to flibuster, and unless there
are radical changes in the rules
of procedure the fhbusters will be
able to prevent final action for many
weeks, and perhaps they may be able to
during the entire session in spite of the
extra days which will be gained by cali
for the meeting of Congress in November.

A prominent Grand Army man was in

Those who patronized the inferior lines to
st. Louis and Columbus have been cursinR
since to think how they let self-constiluted
"committees on transportation" work
them over said lines. in order that the
committee might ride free, the rank and
file paying the same price for their
tickets that was charged by the first-cIass
lines. Any Indirect line can run special

Apropos to the arrangements made
for the settlement of the differences
between this and Custer county is the
following from the Custer Chronicle:
We are pleased to note a disposition
on the part of the Custer county COM
missioners to submit the matter of the
settlement of Custer county's claim
against Fall River county to arbitration
as evidenced by the appointment by
said commissioners. Of County Clerk
j. E. Pitcher as arbiter for this county.
This method of settlement is by far the
most rational one that could be adopt
ed. and it is believed that it will result
in the adjustment of the matter at is
sue 10 the satisfaction Of all concerned.
We lealn that Mr.. E. g. Dudley has
been appointedhy the commissioners of
Fall River county as arbiter for that
county. and it is possibly due to hi well
known capability. and keen sense of
Justice, that the hope of a satisfactory
settlement of this perpleSing matter is
so generally entertained.
