WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-No surprise was
created in Washington this afternoon by
the announcement, at the conclusion of a
lengthy Cabinet meeting, that the Presi-
dent would not call an extra session OF
Congress. Those who stand near the admin
isrratlon knew this would be the result of
the discussion set for to-day. 1t is no secret
that President Harrison has till recently
looked upon the feasibility of an extra ses-
SION with favor. He believed it would

BERLIN, Sept. THE new Sixteenth
Army Corps is intended to be stationed on
the Russian frontier. The temper of the
Foreign Office toward Russia is growing
worse. The rumor of the visit of the
Czarewitch to Paris is not credited unless
he goes in the strictest incognito. The
Cars treatment of Emperor William con-
tinues to embitter the relations between
the two countries. The semi-official press
is permitted or instructed to speak with
notable frankness and severity. The Ham,
burg Correspondence, in an undoubtedly in
spired article, says:
Germany must accept the fact of the perma-
nent hostility OF the Gar. Persistence in the
Russian policy is more dangerous to the peace OF
Europe than French chauvinism. The Chancel-
lor, being convinced of the Cars lasting enmity,
will cease his delicate and cautious treatment OF
Russia. and hencefcrth frankly treat st. Peters
burg as he treats Paris.
The Czarewitch will be the guest of the
Emperor from the 18th to the I'D of Sep
tember. If the Cars heir is sent to Paris

BERLIN. Sept THE approach of the
opening of the final session of the Reichs-
tag is causing all parties to ask what form
of policy the government is likely to take
on which to go before the country. The
ssmi-oficial press affords no special indi-
cation. Prince Bismarck is obviously
awaiting the results of the French cleo
tions. If the present government is so
materially weakened as to make Boulanger-
ism an important factor of the French
policy we are certain to hear the war drum
beat in 1890. Prince Bismarck appears to
be preparing to give prominence to social
reforms, bills dealing with strikes, and
measures aiming to protect the poor classes
against undue interest OH loans. Legisla-
tiOn generally in favor of the working
classes will play an important part in the
coming session of both the Reichstag and
the LandtaQ.
