DECIDED UPON.
CLEVELAND AND CRlse's CON-
FERENCE.
An Extra Session in Seplember-Th The Program
Mr.. Cleveland Is Said to Have IN
folded 10 Speaker Crisp.

One thing which seems TO have been
settled by the meeting between President
elect Cleveland and Speaker Crisp is
that there win be no extra session Of
congress in March, but that there win
be one Ia September From the outset
the speaker favored special call inn
mediotely after the adjournment of the
present congress
The presidentelect has told his conf
Dental friends, II is said, that an extra
session IN March would prove a source
of great embarrassment 10 him. His
arguments are said to have been that new
cabinet ministers would have had no
chance TO fomiliarze themselves with
their departments, and that horde Of
ofiice-seekers would be attracted to the
rational capital ySho perhaps would delay
their visit should congress not remain
In session. Again, II the senate and house
were convened In September, with speedy
organization and the selection of commit
tees. the framing OF tariff. silver aud
other bills. With the cooperation Of the
secretary of the treasury, would pro
gross rapidly enough to permit their cone
sidcration at the regular session ia De
Cembcr.
Though Speaker Crisp argued well for
his project the presidents view was
accepted gracefully, and the speaker re-
turned 10 Washington last night Suits
fed, u Is understood, that no call would
be issued until fall.
II also can be stated that the pres
ident-elect and the speaker found them
selves In perfect harmony not only on
the tariff and sAyer but on all public
questions which the party must face
during the coming administration. II
there had been any Misunderstanding
upon this point Il has been adjusted.
IL win not be through any fault of the
speaker IL the president fails 20 receive
from him a most cordial support In all
matters pertaining 10 reforuqtory legis-
laton and in Keeping the pledges made
by the party The speakers ndherents
In this city were sanguinc yesterday that
his reelection would not be seriously
opposed by Mr.. Cleveland
The speaker seemed so well satisfied
with his visit 10 the prcsidentelcct that
hc did not find Il necessary 10 call again.
He passed the day attending to private
Affairs aud receiving friends at the Holi-
man h0usc, went to the thooter IN the
evening with Congressman Owen Scott
Of Illinois and departed for the national
capital nc midnight
Among Mr.. Clevcland's callers was
Senator John r. Mcpherson OF New Jer-
sey. Many persons would like 20 see Mr.
Mcpherson appointed secretary of the
treasury. but he himself has repeatedly
ridiculed the idea Soon after the senn-
tors departure ex-CUngros Smith
NJ Weed sent in his card. During the
day it was limited that Mr.. Weed might
ask his friends in the legislature 10 cast
their votes against Mr.. Murphy. When
Mr.. Weed was candidate against
David u. Hill in 1891 Murphy opposed
him bitterly
During the afternoon David A. Wells.
the Connecticut tariff refOrmcr had q
brief chat with tho presidrnt-olect. Ii
was thought that Senator Arthur +.
Gormnl would call upon Mr.. Cleveland
during the day. He did not see him until
evening. The senator had n talk with
william 9. Whitney, however, and they
agreed that The senate advisory COM
mittee had been none too quick In reuliz-
ing the danger that the Republicans
might steal the United States senate and
In adopting measures 90 circumycnt the
plot. The reports both had received from
the far West were encOroging aud in
dicated n sure Democratic majority.
1T rs understood that In the talk Mr.
Cleveland and the senator had the cab
met WAS discussed. Mr. Gormnn all
along has insisted that Senator Carlisle
should be made secretary of the treas
ury, and he is said to have departed with
~, and he h. said 10 have departed with
the assurance that Mr.. Carlisle would get
the place.
