WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE democrats
can easily compel an extra session If they
want to during the remainder of the thir>
teen legislative days of this session. II
would not take much effort and they would
not have to openly fillbuster. The recogni-
tion of this fact, together with the recogni-
tion OF the more important fact that moth
ing which the democrats of the House oD-
pose can become law, was what prompted
the adoption Of tae appeal by the House
republican caucus last night to the absent
republican members to come back.
WON'T BE RESPONDED TO.
This appeal will be largely disregarded
by the absentees, most of the republicans
who are looking to President Harrison for
offices after March f. being already here.
and there being nothing pending of suf-
ficient Importance to attract the others.
If there arises no necessity for an extra ses-
sion, therefore. it will be because
Of the forbearance of the democrats
and not because of the fidelity
of the republicans The first
thing the democrats will do with their
power will be to defeat the subsidy bill.
They may also use it to defeat the circuit
court bill. They would like to relieve the
supreme court, but they do not like the way
this bill does it, nor do they like vle idea OF
President Harrison appointing all the new
judges it provides for.
