NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-Among the we'll
informed Democrats the impression eX-
lists that President-eect Cleveland has
practically made up his mind that an
extra session Of Congress will be neces-
sary. The men who have formed that
opinion believe that an extra session VIII
be called because Of things Mr.. Cleveland
said before starting on his shooting trip.
To one of these he disclosed his convic-
ton that it would be impossible TO avoid
an extra session because of the con1i-
ton of the Treasury. Mr.. Cleveland is
expected to tell the people exactly what
he thinks of the extra session talk at the
Reform Club dinner, December 10th.
NEW YORK, Dec. S.-The great BAN
quet to be given to Grover Cleveland

have taken place tonight, will probably
occur December 10th. The preparations
are on a scale OF unwonted magnincence
and thus far invitations have been sent
out to all the famous Democrats who
took part actively in the last campaign.
Covers vii probably be laid for five
hundred. and the speeches to be delivered
will be the most significant Of all the
ante-inaugural utterances. II is believed
that President-elect Cleveland is prepar-
ing a very elaborate speech for the occa-
sion.
