Speakers views on many questions. Inc
most important OF these, at this time, Sd.
peared to DO the extra-session question: 1
favor an extra session of Congress- the

i shall give them TO III frankly. together
with the reasons which. to my mind. are
sufficient TO cause HIM TO call Congress In
extra session."

should be calledp was asked.
"If IL il 10 be held at all. it should De
called as early as possible-the sooner after
the adjournment Of this Congress the bet

''Have you had any ~intimation as 20 how
the President regards the calling OF an
extra session.
Nothing authentic. although I have
understood that he did not believe that
such a step should be taken if it could be
avoided"
What will you say to Mr.. Cleveland in
case he asks our opinion on the immigra-
ton question:
ION that question I believe that there is
q crying need for some action. and that ac-
tion should be taken at once. But just
what that action should be l am not pre-
pared TO say. Many suggestions have been
made. some good, some bad and some worse
than bad. We wan to avoid extreme 40
ton. Our aim should be TO shut out I'M
desirable emigrsnts, but not to cut OH the
others
Or. cleveland was seen soon 8Itor IL
O'Clock, and asked about the conference
which he was TO hold with Speaker Crisp.
The President-elect smiled in q weary sort
of manner. as he replied: II know nothing
of any conference to take place between
Dir. Crisp and myself, beyond what i have
read in the newspaper. They. seem to
M al about it. The Speaker has not
told me what he was coming TO New fork

from Mr.. Crisp to-day. but left it TO be In

say what subjects would most likely come
ND for discussion ~ case he and

The Speaker waved away the subject
