AN EXTRA SESSION

or the Fifty-Third Congress Likely to be
Among the Immediate Consequences of
the Verdict at the Polls In the Recent
Observation-Disclosures and Possibilities
In Connection with the Pre- Administra-
tion.
New YORK, Nov. 12-Amongst the
immediate consequences of the verdict
at the polls the strong probability of
the fifty-third congress being called in
extra session Immediately after the in
auguration is already discussed here.
An extra session of the senate is al
ways called at the beginning of a new
administration. to confirm the officers
and the new diplomatic agents of the
United States abroad. But the present
election having turned on the question
of domestic policy. it is obvious to ex-
perienced political leaders of all par
Ties that an extra session of both
houses of congress will almost inevi-
tably result. Secretary of the treasury
Foster, among others, admits this.
The party, he says, challenged the
judgment of the country on the Nc
Kinlcy bill. and the result must be ac-
ceptcd as the work of the will of the
people. that different policy shall he
pat into effect.
Ex-Secretary Bayard writes to
friend here to like effect, adding that
the people will expect this to be done
without unnecessary delay.
President Harrison, it is stated. has
determined to leave untitled the vacant
missions to Italy, Portugal and Swift
zerland; also the assistant secretary
ships of the treasury vacated by .iess=ss
Crounsc and Nettleton.
Chairman Tom Carter may return to
the land Office. which he vacated to
take charge of the campaign. and hold
for the remaining 100 days of Mr.. Har-
rison's administration, if he so desires.
1t is stated that with the single excep-
tion of Secretary Rusk all the men,
bers of the cabinet had intimated to
the president their intention of resign
ing on the 4th of March; hence their
plans will not be materially disar-
ranged.
The probability is discussed of the
president paying a visit to his daugh-
ter and son-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Kee. in Boston. before returning to In
dianapolis and the practice of law.

CHICAGO. Nov. ll.-Secretary Jere-
miah NJ. Rusk. on his way back to
Washington after voting for Harrison
at his home in Wisconsin was at the
Grand Pacific yesterday.
I'VE were cleaned out, that's all
there Is about it." s1id he. referring to
Tuesday. ''ln my opinion the tariff
was the whole and sole cause of it.
There had been a howl about the tar
if everywhere; and then the Home
stead affair made the laboring class
discontented. Undoubtedly there has
been a change of public sentiment as to
the tariff"
