AN EXTRA SESSION.
HARRISON SERIOUSLY CONTEM-
PLATING CALLING IT.
His Anxiety to Have the Federal Elec-
tion Bill Passed as Soon as Possible is
the Motive for 1t.

CREssoN SPRINGS, Pa, Sept. bit
has. been arranged that the river and
harbor appropriation bill shall be
forwarded to the president Immediately
on being signed by the speaker. 1t is
not likely that the public will be kept in
ignorance for many more days in
regards to that measure. Speculation is
about evenly divided as to its prospects,
those who are sure of veto being
about as numerous as those who are con-
fident of its approval.
The president said this morning, if
the weather continues favorable and
public business does not prevent, he will
remain at Cresson until the end of next
week.
There is every reason to believe that
the president is seriously considering
the advisability OF calling an extra ses-
sion Of congress. 1t is known that
several prominent Republicans have
advised such course, with a view to
an earlier consideration of the federal
election bill. Persons who have talked
with the president say he will certainly
reconvene congress if certain pending
measures in which he takes great inter-
est, are not disposed of at this session.
These include the anti-lottery bill, the
supreme court bill and the land bills
now in the senate, and the postal ship
ping bill now awaiting action in the
house. The president is known to be
specially interested in the passage OF the
election bill, and would probably
feel justified in calling an extra session
for the consideration of it and such
others of the important measures now
pending, as may not be disposed of at
this session.
The president has sent the following
nominations to Washington David W.
Matthews, Oregon, agent for the Indians
of klamath agency, vice Lisha 7. Apple
gate, removed A. l.. Hussey, Oregon,
agent at the Grande Rounde agency,
vice Thomas M. Falconer, resigned.
