"A Con.rcssn,an's Successful Book.

Recently a committee Of New York
publishers went TO Washington with IL
view Of ur-ing Congress 10 pass ccr-
tain international copyright law favor
ell by the publishers. a subcommittee
of publishers was holding meeting at
the Riggs House when u member of
Congress from the West called upnn
them. He said to them tlat he had his
own vote and could ini!;iriee thc votes
of four or five friends. but he declared.
that he would not do ANYTHING for
them unless they promised 10 do some.
thing for him. When they asked what
lie wanted. he said he had written ~
book aud had tried to get every pub
Usher in New York 10 publish it, aud
none of them would do so because the
book was pronounced unsuitable for
the market. Now, if they would agree
to find Il publisher for his book in New
York he would agree TO give his own
and several other votes for the inter.
national copyright bill.
The committee told him to call upon
them the next day. and when he had
gone they discussed his proposition.
On inquiry it was found that lie could
coHtfOl lG'lf woes, ;lilu lilat WAS too
many TO lose. So the publishers had "a
mreling, and they finally decided 10
draw lots to see who would publish his
book and stand the loss. Tie lot was
drawn. and one of the greatest pub
fishing houses in the world WAS the
victim. Its representative received the
condolences OF his fellow publishers,
hut the house carried out its part of the
bargain in good faith and published
the book. and now they have the laugh
with them, for. contrary to the cxDect;,.
ton of the publishers the book made
money from the start. and. has turned
ont quite Il profitable venture for the
house. This is another illustration of
the truth that no one can tell whether
Il book or Il play will make hit until
the experiment has been triell.-INilc

AN EXTRA SESSION.
No Stock Taken in the Rumors bv pso-
pie In Washington.


pie in Washington.
WASHINGTON, Special Telegram. Oct. H.
The few public men now in WasEinnton do
not take much stock in tile rumors that an
extra session of congress will be called.
The rumors are flying thick. however. and
one reason advanced for convening this
extra session is the necessity for prompt
action on the reapportionment bill. 1t is
argued by those who favor an extra session
that the feapportionmcnt bill should he
passed and approved during the Christmas
recess.
Tho legislatures OF some thirty.three
states meet in biennial session early next
year, most OF them opening the scy-
sion in the first week in January, and it is
to them highly desirable that the rcappor-
tionmcnt bill should be ready for action by
these legislative bodies. In almost every
case the redistricting of tho states by the
legislatures will be necessary, and it has
been represented to the president that IL Is
only fair to give the legislatures plenty of
time. Moreover, as these bodies nearly all
meet in biennial session, 1t would be iieces.
sary to convene them in extra session ii
they did not dispose OF the redistricting In
their forthcoming meeting.
1t Is expected, o. course. that while the
house OF representatives Is discussing the
rcapportionment bill the senate will take
up the federal election bill, discuss it,
adopt some rule looking to the limitation of
debate if pos ,ible, and then dispose OF the
election bill, alter which it will act on the
reaprortionnent bill.
