EXTRASESSION TALK
Rumors that Congress Will
 Meet Again Nov. 19.
BIG CLAIMS OF THE ALLIANCE.
President Polk Says They Will Elect Twenty-four M mbsrs.

The President on His Way to Indlanap-
 Olis-Secretary Windom Bothered Over
 Sites for Public Buildings-The United
 States Asked to Act as NIediator-An
 Insane Woman, Visits the White House. , WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-The President and Attorney-General Miller are on their way to Indianapolis to vote. The Presi- dent will return on Wednesday.
 The rumor is again out that there is the strongest probability of an extra session of Congress being convened to meet Wednesday, November 19. This would give ten clear days before the day named in the Constitution for the assem- bling of Congress, which is the first Monday in December. This year Decem- Der falls on Monday. As to when the proclamation will be issued no precise information can be obtained. Only ten days notice is required by law.
 L. L. Polk, president of the National Association of the Farmers Alliance, arrived in the city last night. He claims that the alliance has assurances of elect ing 24 members to the next Congress, and that in that event they will hold the balance of power, whichever of the old parties may secure preponderanee. Chairman Flower, for the Democrats, puts the probable Democratic majority over Republicans at 30. The secretary of the Republican Congressional Committee, presided over by MT. Belden, claims a Republican preponderance over Democrats of from 15 to 20.
 Mr. Polk is sanguine in the belief that if either of these two anticipations should come any way near realization, the Alliance men will dictate the nomina- tion of the next Speaker, and in conse- quence secure substantial recognition on committees.

TIE VIZcAYA's DEATH ROLL
It Still Stands at SIxty-Eight rnd Includes
 All the Passengers.


 NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-No new names have been added to the list of those saved from death in the frightful collision, sending two vessels to the bottom, off the storm-beaten coast of Barnegat last Thursday evening.
 The list of survivors still numbers 36, including the schooner Cornelius liar grave's crew of Il men and 52 officers and men from the steamer. The death roll of the sunken Vizcaya still stands at 6S, and this record of the missing includes every one of the sixteen passengers.
 There is still a faint possibility that others from the lost steamer may have been picked up by passing vessels, and to this faint spark of hope the friends of the missing ones still cling. Many vessels were passing during the long night the survivors spent in the rigging of the two submerged wrecks and on spars and blanks from the lost vessel.
 So far as known not one of the bodies of the victims of the terrible disaster has been recovered except that of the stew ardess, picked up by the tug Battler. None of the bodies have been washed up on the beach.
 Efforts will be made by the crew of the tug Fred B. Dalzell, which was employed last night by J. NJ. Ceballos & Co.,, to find the bodies of millionaires Juan Pedro and M A. Calvo. The tug men have instruc- tions to cruise along the coast and in the vicinity of the two wrecks for a week ii necessary. The Dalzell is provided with grappling irons and fathoms of cable which lay coiled on her decks last night. Two clerks of the firm accompanied the searching party.

STARTLING CONFESSION.
Several Stage Robberies and Eumerou
 Burglarles Accounted For.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Nov. S.-George Shinn, who with Charles Dorsely, alias Thorn, escaped from San Quinton prison three years ago and were captured in Chicago by Detective J. B. Hume, made a most startling confession.
 Ever since they escaped, Detective Hume has believed they were in this State and were perpetrators of numerous stage robberies which have occurred since then, but he was not able to obtain any positive evidence. Friday night Shinn was transferred from San Quinton to Folsom by special arrangements made by Warden Aull and Detective Hume. Yesterday the warden and detective inter viewed Shinn for over three hours.
 He confessed that he and Thorn re- turned to California in 1889 and camped on the American River, about three miles from this city. This was their rendezvous to which they always returned after their raids. He admits that on the S1st of July, 1889, they stopped the stage from Milton to Sonora and robbed the passen- gers of $50, blew open the Wells-Fargo treasure box with giant powder, but found it empty. On the 10th of September of the same year they stopped the stage be- tween Quincy and Orrville and took a gold bar worth $500 from the Wells-Fargo box. In April of this year they held up the Forest Hill stage in Placer County and robbed the passengers. Besides these robberies Shinn confessed to numerous burglaries, garroting and robberies com mitted by him and Thorn.
 ,, They returned to Chicago May 80, this year, and says between that time and the date of capture they committed some thing like 25 robberies in the State of Ill | inois.
 Their rendezvous on the American River has been found by Chief of Police Drew of this city, who hunted for it foul weeks before he found it. He says it is an ideal robbers roost, and robbers nevel could be dislodged from it.

 Selection of Sites.

Secretary Windom Bothered Over the
 Selection of Sites.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-The selection of sites for public buildings is one of the duties which gives the Secretary of the Treasury more worry, with less satisfac- tory results to him, at least, than per haps any other duty he has to perform. And at the present time he is in the throes and agonies of deciding on upwards of 25 sites for public buildings in as many cities and towns.
 He is guided in great measure by re- ports of special agents who visit the cities where sites are to be purchased, and fdSf fo selecting the one most desirable in point of cost and location. No mat ter what result is reached by the agent, the whole matter is fought out again before the Secretary by parties in- terested in disposing of sites other than those selected by the agent, and in nine cases out of ten charges of improper mo- tives on the part of the agent are made by the real estate people who are inter ested in other sites.
 Among the larger cities where sites will within a short time be selected for. the erection of public buildings are: New York, appraisers warehouse; Baton Rouge, La; San Francisco, Burlington, Iowa; Newborn, N. C., and New Haven, Conn.
