the President
Congress Will Convene Early in

Authoratitativ, Announcement to That

WASHINGTON, June 5.-The president said
this evening In reply.to direct question by
. representative OF the Associated press.
that he intended to call an extra session Of
congress not earlier than the first nor later
tnun the 18th Of September, unless unex-
pscted contingencies should necessitnte an
earlier meeting. The president further said:
"While tho,e has boon no mystery nor Sec
,ecy In reRald TO my intention in this mat
ter, think IL 10 not amiss that our people
should be informed authoritatively that tho

congress will bs called upon TO deal with the

serve. One does not need the eye Of a
fnancier to see that this gold thus sub
traoted from the governments stock is
eagerly seized BY other nations TO, the pur-
pose Of strengthening their credit at our

''Already the timidity Of capital 10 pain

CHINESE CERTIF1CATEs.

Measures to Prevent Their Use In . Fraud
ulent Manner.
WASHINGTON. June 5.-The treasury de-.
partment for some time has believed that
Chinese were using affidaviss of suthentioa-
tioR for illeRitimate purposes. Some taken
out here wsre sent abroad ami sold to
dispose of them after reaching China, and
in both cases the law was violated. Under
the law, Chinese merchants who desire TO
leave this country TO visit China heretofore
have been furnished with papers, which.
whom endorsed by United States consul at
the port of debarkation, entitled them to
re-enter tho United States. Acting Score
tary Hamlin thinks the abuse should be
stopped and has addressed the collector at
Boston the following letter on the subject:
"Under date Of April 19 last the United
States consul At Hong Kong transmitted to
the d. partment of state afhdavits submitted
to him for Authorization, and which ap-
pearsd to have been issued al your port
Sept. s. 1892. and Feb. 4, 1893. over the sig.
nature Of Deputy Collector j. L. Swift to
Yee Sing and Yes Mot KIP respectively. al
legged to be Chinese persons residing in
Boston. who left the United States with the
intention of returning thereto. The consul
declined to endorse said documents for the
sentinR the same had never been in the
United States, as was shown By their
inability to answer any questions relating
to this country. Notwithstanding the fact
that the affidavits stated that they resided
here number of years.
1T 10 evident the persons presenting the
affidavits are not those TO whom they were
issued ut Boston. In view of the misuse
of papers thus prepared in tho United
states the department 10 of opinion that il
Ia not advisable for collectors of customs
or their deputies to certify tho same and
you a. . requested to give the necessary in
structions to discontinue the practice at
your port"
The state department will probably not
interfere in the case of the steamship Dan
ube, at Portland. Ore, whose captain ap-
pealed to tho British legation for relief
from an order of court which required him
10 bring $50 Chinese passengers before the
court to answer writ of habeas corpus.
The captain was willing the Chinese should
answer. but feared to assume the heavy
responsibility of preventing tho escape of
the Cinnamon when once ashore.
Dir Julian Pauncefote. British ambassa-
dor. was at the state department. to-day.
probably to present the case TO Secretary
Gresham. II IL believed at the department
there will bo no difficulty in complying
technically with the order of court, while
avoiding the possibility of escape of the
Chinese. This could bs .dons II the mar
