RECALCiTRANT MASONS.
The Grand Lodge of Missouri Requested to
Arrest the Charter of Texas Lodge.

HOUSTON, Tex, Dec. 4.-The Texas Grand
Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Ma
sons and the Grand Chapter, Royal Arch
Masons, both convene hero Tuesday. An
important question before the Blue Lodge
Masons is the question of having the char
ter of Toltec Lodge. In the City of Mexico,
arrested. At the last session of the Texas
Grand Lodge of Masons what Is known as
the Monterey treaty was ratified. This
treaty's provisions embrace affiliations be-
tween all lodges In America and all
under the Dietn of Mexico. of whioh
President Diaz is grand master. and recog-
milton of symbolic Masonry mp to the third
degree. Toltec Lodge Is operating under
charter from the Grand Lodge of Missouri
and refuses TO recognize the jurisdiction or
authority of Grand Dieta of Mexico. Both
Mexico and Texas have united in re-
questing the Grand Lodge of Mis-
souri, to arrest the charter, and
the Grand Lodge of Missouri has q
special commission considering the matter.
Texas and Rhode Island are now the only
Grand Chapters which do not hold allegl-
ance to the Central Grand Chapter of the
United States, West Virginia having re-
Gently succumbed to the pressure and
joined the Grand Chapter. The probabil-
tiles are that the Texas Grand Chapter Will
at this session vote to again become part of
the General Grand Chapter and surrender
it's autonomy. Masons throughout the
United States are deeply interested in
these questions, and will hail their settle
ment with Joy.

Throwing OUT "FEELERs."

Democrats Considering the Advfaabiiity of
an Extra session-Cleveland's Views.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Dec. Alt is stated upon
the authority of Congressman. who got
his information from Speaker Crisp, that
President elect Cleveland really believes
there should be an extra session of the
Fifty-thiri Congress- and If the Democrats
of the country will only sustain him in do
ing so he will call an extra session. 1t is
stated further that lot of "feelers' are to
be thrown out during the next few weeks
by Crisp. Whitney, German and others.
with view to securing an express
sion of sentiments upon the sub
ject of an extra session. The opinion
of Democrats in Congress upon the
extra session problem Is about evenly di-
vided. but even those who oppose an extra
session say it is their honest belief that q
very large majority of the Democrats of
the country. If not. indeed, of the entire
people, are In favor of an extra session.
This apparent feeling upon the part of the
country is having q perceptible influence
in winning over the Democrats TO favor
the proposition. Ii Mr.. Cleveland gets the
notion that an extra session should be held
or that it is demanded by the people, and
he ls inclined that way, he will call one,
even though Congress should be practi-
caily solid against il. The belief is grow
ing that an extra session will be called for
the early autumn.

the desired result is obtained. In connec-
tion with the appropriations ls the pension
list. and there will be no lack OF sugges-
tions looking TO changes in the laws de-
signed to regulate more closely the enor-
mcus expenditures under that head. The
friends of the new navy are not expected
to sit quietly by and witness any unfrieno-
IL pruning of the estimates on that ac-
count. and as Congress ls already under
obligation to mako heavy appropriation
for the great iron-clads authorized by the
present law 1t will be hard to reconcile the
views of the economists and the naval de.
fense element.
The work of the session will probably be-
gin quietly. In the Senate the Vice-presi-
dent will appoint q COMMITTEES to wait on
the President and notify him that the oooy

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WAsHINGTON, Dec. 4.-AccordinR to the
appointment clerks in some of the execu-
tive departments there is On army of syco-
plants and .rimmers in Washington now.
1t Is stated that great many department
clerks who are not fully protected by the
civil-service law are making every effort
to withdraw their Republican indorse-
ments from the files in order TO make fair
weather. with the incoming administrs-
tion and secure themselves in their present
positions. Many OF them held Offices under
Cleveland four years ago, and got Repub-
lican papers In order to solidify themselves
with this administration. Their indecent
haste to turn face has SO disgusted Repub-
Ecans that it is being suggested that there
might be a betterment of the service by
the creation of few vacancies. The
movement has turned many civil.service-
reformers from their advocacy of the pres
ent system, as they hold that the law is
but q cloak. under the circumstances, to
hide the hypocrisy Of turn-coats.
