TIE COURT OF APPEALS JUDGES
1t is the general impression that the appoint-
ment OF the members of the new District
Court Of Appeals will be made some time next
week. The law organizing the court goes into
effect on the first Monday in April
Rumor has IL today that Senator Faulkner
who has been mentioned for the chief Justice
ship OF the court. has Withdrawn.
The President has entertained some doubt as
TO the propriety OF appointing Senator Faux
ner In view of constitutional question which
has arisen.
Section Of article OF the Constitution pro-
yices: mo Senator or Representative shall,
during the time for which he WAS elected, be
appointed TO any civil Office under the authority
OF the United States which shall have been
created or the emoluments thereof shall have
been increased during such time"
SENATOR FAULKNER BARRED.
The Court Of Appeals was created BY the last
Congress, OF which Senator Faulkner was n
member. and although his term expired Marc
8 he was reelected March and is now
Senator.
! This provision does not appl- in the case OF
1 ex-Hepresentative Hemphill however, for his
term expired March 8. and n he should be
appointed it would not be during the time for
| which he elected.

today during the time set apart for the recep-
ton OF Congressman.

To few Congressman who have talked with
him on the subject Mr.. Cleveland has intimated
that he will call an extra session Of Congress TO
dispose of the tariff question. No definite time
has been set. but the session will begin either
in September or October. Beyond the decision
to call the extra session no details for
the consideration Of Congress have
been arranged and the sub
ject has progressed no further than the deter
mination to have Congress meet in one of the
stagr. 49, H..
is said was led TO call the session BY the repub-
lican defeat of 1880 following so close on the
enactment Of the Mckinley tariff law. He be-
heyes that a fair test OF new tariff law cannot
be had IN few months and he therefore has
deemed 1t wise to have Congress assemble two
or three months earlier than usual
Representative Springer of Illinois. chairman
OF the committee on WAYS and means. which is
charged with the preparation of tariff bills. was
questioned tony relative TO the time It would
take TO enact new tariff bill He said IL
would be impossible for Congress TO enact any
measure of the kind wanted earlier than
May. if the subject were considered
at the regular session beginning IN December.
An extra session would. of course. bring the
matter to . settlement by much quicker NJ IL

before the general elections in November.
