Talk About an Extra Session.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-The
present condition of the treasury
has led to a revival of the talk of
an extra session of Congress to act
on the Sherman law. The Presi-
dent has not had anything to say
on the subject to any Of his con-
gressional callers as yet, however,
and it is probable there will not
be an extra session before
the LIST of September, when it is
understood, Congress is to be called
together to consider the admins
tratiOn plan for revision of tariff.
The president will, doubtless, at
the same time take occasion in his
message to ure immediate action
on the monetary question, and
will, it is said, advise immediate
repeal of the Sherman act.

Diamond.


ROME, April 24.-The official cir
Gle here understands that during
an interview yesterday between
Pope Leo and the German Emper-
or, they discussed questions relat-
ing to the position of the Roman
Catholic church in Germany, and
especially the attitude of men,
bers centre, or clerical par

Emperor's friendly conversation,

box bearing his portrait surround
ed with diamonds to Cardinal

Vatican party, which favOrs a
triple alliance, as opposed to the
policy of Cardinal Rampolla, the
Papal secretary of state, which is
French in its tendency. The
meeting is also regarded as
making a fresh step toward
Cancellation of the Prussian and
Poles.

The general desire of theatre goers
to be amused is shown by the extra
ordinary success of skipped by the
Light of the Moon" This even
ing this laughable piece will be pro-
duced at Harper's theatre in a recon-
structed form and freshened by the
introduction of much new music and
many amusing specialties which have
been introduced for the present sea-
sons tour. No analysis can be given
of'such a farce. To attempt to de-
scribe it would be like trying to paint
the merry jingle of laugh. Like Il
basket of good champagne it can
only be appreciated by the sampling
process. The audience are convulsed
with laughter from beginning to end;
and they laugh, and they shout and
pound the floor, the seats and each
other until they are actually ashamed
of themselves. We feel that we vio-
late no confidence in saying that all
who attend viii find skipped" to be
very, very funny.
The Andrews Opera company is to
