Review Of the Weeks Work
and Worry at the
Capital.
An Extra Session Now Seems Prob
able The Matter Lies With
the President
Unless an Unexpected Amount Of
Work Is Done Yet, 1t Is
inevitable

things likely. an extra session of congress-
for November would be called by the presl-
dent. and Ii y said that he IL just now
seriously considering the adyisability OF
such step. The proposition does not meet
with much favor among the rank and fle OF
members Of congress, weary with ten
months session. II Ia a matter, how
ever, IN which the president
and the party leaders are chiefly concerned.
and the rest win have 10 take things as they
find them In November. II win TIE impossl-
BILE 10 hold a qurom gaftcr the tariff bill II
finally disposed OF, and quorum being
absent nothing can be done which the demo-
Gratis seriously object 10. To pass the several
measures IL IL the desire of the majority 10
act upon before adjournment, therefore,
win be practically an impossibiiity. With
those crowding into the short session there
viii be little chance for action on the eIec-
ton bin.
Seems the Only Way.
At the conference held ut Senator Teller's
house, whom the laying aside OF the election
bin was decided on, IL was determined, as
stated by your correspondent, that tho
president should be asked 10 cali congress
together after the November elections.
since then the matter has been talked a. bout
quietly. A recess might he regarded as
better than an adjournment. but IL wenld
be dificult, In their present temper, to got
the house TO agree 60 a reccss. If they are
called hack In November they have no
objection.
Not Yet Talked Of In the House.
Representative Mckinley said to-day, In
regard 90 an extra session. that he had not
heard any talk on the subject In the house.
As 10 ihe probability OF cali, however, he
said II would depend upon how far congress
at this session went toward dlspOslng Of
pending questions. He added that he
thought IL likely that not much would be
done this session after the tariff bill was
disposed of.
Lodge Tanks lt Probable.
Congressman Lodge, author of the elec-
tion BILL said to-day that he thought IL
Iikcly the president would call an extra
session, not only 20 consider the esceti0ss
bill, but other Important matters that could
not be disposed of at this session.

Removal az Grants Remains.
The resolution proyLding for the removal
OF the remains OF Gen. Grant from River
side, n. Y, 20 Arlington. has not yet had a
chance In the house. AIR. o'Neill Is prayer
fully waiting an opportunity tocall the res
olntion. On account of the impossibillty OF
securing unanimous consent for the consld-
Grafton OF the resolution, a suspension day
is necessity for It's adoption. Friends of
the resolution, however, are not
worrying about the suspension days
running out, as the lass few days of
session are invariably given up TO suspcn-
sion days, and Mr.. o'Nelll will undoubt-
edly have an opportunity for the resolution
before the close of the session. The chief
aud main opponent OF the resolution Is Mr.
Quinn. OF New York. Mr.. Quinn IL on ex-

he loves New York more, that he has been

Mr. Quinn Is an energetic member and GER
tainly has been working hard among the
members, but friends of the resolution
think he has greatly oycrestinlaied the
strength of the opposition. About thirty

which can he polled against the proposal
