EXTRA SESSION TALK.
Senator Carlisio aud Representative Wi
son Mako suggestions.


WAsHINGroN, Nov. Ex-senator Car
isle was in Washington yesterday. lie
| put aside the talk Of his going into tho
cabinet as thing not TO be discussed
AZ all. Speaking Of the prospect OF an
extra session he said that II was abso-
lutely impossible TO say whether or not
there would be an extra session. II
would all depend upon conditions not
yet developed and which IN the na-
| ture of things could not develop un-
I'll later on. He had seen Mr.. Cleve-
land before leaving New York and was
satisfied that 1t was not possible for him
to tell yet what would be done.
IF there is an extra session." he
said, 'it will probably not meet till
late in the fall. 1t depends upon cir
cumstances. The tariff alone win not
furnish sufficient reason for an extra
session. The financial affairs of the
government may be in such shape as TO
make an extra session imperative. 1t
appears probable that we shall find
that there is not enough mony in the
TREASURY for the needs of the govern
ment There is situation Ia the treas
ury which every thoughtful man
who has considered the matter has fore
seen. There is an accumulation OF de-
ficiencies and obligations that have
been contracted and will come over to
us 1t may be that this situation will
furnish reason enough why an extra
session should be called We shall have
TO see what congress does at this ses-
sion. Ii they do not repeal the Sher-
man law relating TO the purchase OF
silver and take such other action as the
situation demands, we may be swamped.
Upon these things depend the calling
of an extra session.
II cannot see the need Of an extra
session for any other reason, but of
course | have nothing TO say about that.
If Mr. Cleveland does not favor il that
settles the question. As to tariff legis-
lation, think the party win go slowly
and be governed by wise counsels. Mr..
Depew and Mr.. Reid say they are
in favor of giving the democrats a
chance TO go ahead at once with
their reform programme, and that
would seem to mean that they
would like TO see some tariff legislation
at the coming session Of congress.
Nothing would give me greater satis-
faction than to see the senate take up
the bills that were passed by the house
last winter and put them through.
That would be at least beginning and
the sooner we begin the better"
The other view of the case was taken
by Representative Wilson, Of West Vir- |
ginia, the chairman Of the last national I
democratic convention, who before
leaving Washington to-day for New
York said:
'The true worth and value of a tariff /
bill cannot be tested in short time
and the first effects appear sometimes (
to be what they really are not think
it would be most impolitic to place 4
new tariff bill before the country just /
previous TO the elections of 1894. There
is reason TO favor the extra seTsion idea,
and l think the sooner tho proposed
tariff changes 90 into effect the better

Gen. }. u. Weaver sanguine OF the Future
OF His Party.
Dies MoINEs, Ia., Nov IL. Gen. j. b.
Weaver. candidate for president on the
peoples party ticket, has issued u
lengthy address to the voters of that
party declaring that the organization
IS but little behind the republican party
in the number of states carried and will
doubtless hold the balance Of power in
the senate; has doubled its adherents
in the house Of representatives
and secured control of num-
ber of state governments hold
the balance OF power in major
ity Of the states, has aroused a spirit Of
political independence among the peo-
pie of the northwest, gained large
following in every state in the south
and has in Kansas, a state containing
more union soldiers than any other,
elected a one-armed ex-confederate sol
dier Of the peoples party TO represent
the state at large in congress. He says
that the annihilation almost Of that
party organization leaves the former
adherents of that party free 10 ally
themselves with the great anti-monop-
oily and industrial movement
In Gen. Weaver's opinion, the violent
political storms Of 1855 and 1892 which
first swept the democratic and then the
republican party from power in spite Of
the weight Of patronage which they
carried, signify a turbulent condition
of the political atmosphere which plain
ly foreshadows an approaching crisis
He urges that the work of organ ization
of the peoples party be now pushed
with energy throughout all the states

AN ERRATlc COMET. 1.


Biela's Comet Losing Its Head aud Its
Light Growing Fainter
New York, Nov. % The following
letter from Prof Swift, Of the Warner
observatory, is published;
'The Diela comet was seen Saturday
evening at the Warner observatory for
the fourth time. 1t has, since its discov-
cry, moved but little and it is increasing
in size. 1t is approaching the earth di-
rectly, ornearly So Although very much
larger it is certainly fainter than
when first seen here. 1t is safe TO pre-
diet that it will increase so greatly that
when in perigee it win become so faiut
as to be invisible. 1t is making faint
effort to throw out tail, but as Biela's
comet has always been u tailless comet
1t will hardly depart from its usual
habit AS the comet has not been seen
before in forty years, though it has a
six and six-tenths year period, its pres
ent path may differ considerably from
Its former path.
Statements that it or its tail will
strike the earth are premature II has
been a mystery where this formerly
well behaved comet had been hiding
FOR forty years, and now its unexpected
return may teach US something about
cometary astronomy This comet IS
some & degrees southwest Of the great
nebule in Andromeda and is very slow
ly moving in a souihwesterly direction.
1t was discovered by Edwin Holmes, of
London, November G.

Pensions and the Deficiency.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7-Commissionor
Raum, Of the pension bureau, in an in

to the heavy pension roll and the large
deficiency that would have to be met,
said that the assertion that a deficiency
Of 5000. 900 would have to be met was
preposterous. as the workings of the
Office could not elevate il 10 that figure.
While the pension roll is on the increase
now, owing TO the new laws, it would.
he IN fought, reach maximum figure in
two or three years and then decrease
would take place Gen Raum said he
could not perceive that he was in any
to blame for the pension legislation.
