CONGRESS In THE SPRING
CLEVELAND SAID TO FAVOR AN
EXTRA SESSION.

His Opinion May Change, But BE
Thinks the Prevailing Conditions
May Make ar Extra Session a Neces-
sity-Gorman, Carlisle, Whitney and
Earrity said to Be of the Same Opin-
Ton.
New YORK, Dec. 3.-Among well in
formed democrats the impression exists that
President-elect Cleveland has practically
concluded that an extra session OF congress
will be necessary. The men who have
formed that opinion believe that an extra
session will be called hscause of things Mr..
Cleveland said before starting on his shoot
ing trip. To one Of these he disclosed his
conviction that it would be impossible to
avoid an extra session because of the cond-
tion Of the treasury. He expected to tell
the people exactly what he thinks Of the
extra session talk at the Reform Club din
ner on Dec. TO-
STRONG INFLUENCES AT WORK.
Referring to President-elect CleveIand's
views as to the necessity Of an extra ses-
sion the Herald quotes prominent demo-
crat who is aware ofMr. Cleveland's feelings,
as saying: "Of course the President-elect
did not mean this as his final, unalterable
view or the SUBJECT. he meant that all the
probabilities pointed to the fact that an
extra session would be neces-
sary. He knows there will be
a treasury deficiency and something
must be done in that direction which cam
not or will not be accomplished at the short
session. He also knows that there will be
tremendous Glamour by the people for free
raw materials and that there is no reason to
hope that the republican Senate will recede
from its hostile attitude
The same gentleman opines that Senators
German and Carlisle, ex-Secretary Whit
ney and Chairman Harrity all favor an
extra session, a few months In advance Of
the regular session, and thinks the south aud
west demand one in ''thunder tones"
CoLQUITT FAvoRs IT.

said to-day as to an extra session: 1--WE
promise the people relief from the burdens

it at the earliest possible moment. I con-
slider an extra session not only expedient
but absolutely necessary"
The senator's health is 30 much better that
