to provide for the acquisition of LOU
siana, and the second met on July 80,
1907, to consider the aggressions OF
Great Britain upon the commerce OF
the United States. President Madison
called one November a, 1871, to pre-
pare for the war with Great Britain
when shortly afterward ensued. Presi
dent Madison called another extra ses
sion, which convened September 70,
1914, to provide new quarters for gov
eminent offices, destroyed by the British
forces in their raid on Washington.
Van Buren, called an extra session to
meet September 4, 1887, after the TN
ancial panic of that year.
President Harrison issued a procla
nation, the day OF his Inauguration, call
ing an extra session for May 81, Io4I,
to consider the financial condition OF
the Treasury and the country. He did
| not live to witness its assemblage.
President Pierce was the next presi-
dent to call an extra session, which
took place August 81, 1856, to provide
for the support OF the army, the bill fol
which had failed at the previous session.
The most important of all the extra
sessions was that called by Abraham
Lincoln, April I6, 1861, for the 4th day
of July of that year. At this session the
Supply bills were voted, and prepare
tons made to put down the rebellion
The next two called sessions wer'
convened by Hayes, October IS, 1871
and March IS, 1879, both called Oh
account of the failure of the Army Ap
preparation bills.

The presence of Mr.. Blaine in Wash

The presence of Mr.. Blaine in Wash
ington has naturally impaired additional
activity to cabinet gossip and specula-
ton, but the key to the problem re-
mains exclusively in the possession of
the President elect. The Washington
correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger says very senslbly that General
Harrison's experience at Washington
taught him that there is only one Ger
tain way of keeping a secret, and that
is, keep it within your own bosom. As
rule, there are no secrets in Washing
ton. The man who imparts intorma-
ton to a friend Gin confidence" be-
trays himself. The secret that is safe
with one man is sure to be exposed
when impaired to another. General
Harrison knows this, and therefore it is
that MIR. Hiscock and the other pill
grims who have been to Indianapolis
don't even intimate that this man or
that will be invited to a Cabinet seat.
The fact that Mr.. Hiscock was invited
to indianapolis warrants the presump-
ton that nothing was definitely settled
as to New YORK. Mr.. Hiscock can tell
that certain questions were asked and
certain propositions were discussed,
but he cannot tell what conclusions
were formed by General Harrison, be-
cause he doesn't know.
In like manner Mar. Blaine is just as
far in the dark. His friends are conf
dent he will be selected for the State
Department, but their confidence
springs from belief that he should be
SO selected, and is based on nothing
tangible. 1t was announced that he
would start in day or two for Indiana
polls. But Mr.. Blaine himself corrected
this erroneous report. Whether he will
60 to Indianapolis will depend upon
General Harrison. The Maine states
man don't want to make a journey to
Indiana as matter OF sentiment. He |
will 60 if invited, and will not 90 until
invited. If he should go, many per-
sons would accept that act as a sure
indication that General Harrison had |
sent for Mr.. Blaine to tender him the
portfolio of State and to consult him as |
to the selection of other members of
the Cabinet.
Mr.. Blaine naturally receives great
attention there, as he does wherever he
may go. He will reside in Washington
this winter, whether If the Cabinet or
not. In reality his visit at this time
mas no political significance. His
nent house is regarded as an indica-
ion that, if Mr.. Blaine is to be Secre-
AIRY OF State, he has not yet been adj
yised of it. A man who knew he was
20 be Secretary of State the coming
our years would not lease a few rooms
n an apartment house, however fash
enable that house might be.

WIFE:-I expected to write you again while
at New York City, but owing to the tremen-
dous crowd in the city we had some difficulty
in getting our business closed up. We ar
rived at the steamer forty five minutes before
sailing. Charley Reynolds called on us. We
have changed our route-we 60 to Liverpool
and ondon, to Paris and south; mail your
letters to that address till further advice.
This is our seventh day out and have had
pleasant sailing and fine weather. have
written to J. B. Augenstein letter each day
since we left New York. am little off;
Mr.. Trowbridge is quite well. We are having
good time, living high-eating and drink
ing and plenty of good company; Imight say
from all parts of the globe. This is Wednes-
day, 10 o'clock a. m. and bright, clear pleas
ant morning and calm sea. have had
good nights rest, finished breakfast at 8
o'clock and just finished smoking. Some
time early in the morning we will pass Queens
town, ireland, where we can mail our first LETT
ters for U. 8. A., so will improve the oppor-
tunity.
This is nice steamer and we live high
FIVE meals day, coffee and toast before we
get up, breakfast at $3.50, lunch at p. M.
dinner at 6 p. m. nine courses, supper at $3.50
p. M, and will furnish hot lemonade and bis
cult between meals If desired.
We have had some rain and at times good
breeze. Steamer rolled considerable which
made 1t pleasant and enjoyable. I would
liked to have seen little wind to give me a
good appetite. Our cablegram will reach you
'ere this does and to some extent will be stale
news. Trust you are all we'll; write often and
do not forget to mail the NORTHWEST.
From your husband beyond the sea,
josiah KoLLER.
