CONGRESSIONAL EXTRA SESSION.
SIR. Cleveland for one but Not Before
Next Autumn.
IBy Telegraph 70 The Dispatch.


WASHINGTON, January 1.-THE recent con-
ference between the President-eleot and
Speaker Crisp was expected TO result in
some authorized announcement on the
subject Of an extra session. While these
authorizations have not been realized, a.
Speaker Crisp has studlOusly RETAINED
from giving out any statement as to
what passed between MIR. Cleveland
and himself. something in the nature
Of statement on good authority
il being passed around among Democratic
leaders. This runs 20 the effect that while
no final decision will DO made on the ques-
tiop Of an extra session of Congress until
February. by which time the Cabinet Of
President-elect Cleveland will probably
have been selected, probabilities are de-
cidedly against an extra session before next
autumn.
Mr. Cleveland, IT is stated, has said TO
Democratic leaders in Congress that he
will call Congress together in SPECIAL SEES
sion. He also told them, IL is reported,
that il would not be cOnyoked before au-
the condition of the Treasury made 10 ab.
solutely imperative that Congress should
meet IN the spring 20 provide the govern
1ueut with the necessary amount OF rege-
nue. 70 meet It's expenses. He wished TO
avoid the necessity Of an early extraordi-
nary session.
Very soon after tine the holiday recess
the subcommittee Of the House Commit
tee on Ways and Means, appointed 10 IN
vestiQate the condition OF the Treasury
will begin its work. On the result OF ITS
investigation may possibly depend the
time ut which Conp ess will be called to-
cether. The conclusion on the part OF a
majority Of the Subcommittee that there
will be an actual dehclt IN the treasury
unless additional revenue IS raised might
induce Mr.. Cleveland, 1t IS thought, 10
alter his views with reference 10 an extra
session IN the spring, but no other con-
sideratiOn that will BRING about such re-
suit is now forcseen. 10 IS the opinion
OF some of the leading Democrats III the
House that the investigation Will snow
that treasury receipts and expenditures
are very nearly equal at present auu thefe
is grave reason 20 fear an excess OF tne laV-
ter in the coming fiscal year.
Bv tho end Of this month the sub-cQm-
mittee's work Of investigation Will eltDer
no concluded or far enough III progress 10
hermit tho Democratic members 10 &C
ruoint Mr.. Cleveland with the situation
and their conclusions "a 70 the future, so
tbot his final decision with reference TO an
cvtra session may be based on full infor-
nation as 10 the Treasury conditions
which will confront his administration the
first year or year and a half of its existence.
II is becausco OF the possibility OF a close
approximation between revenues and eX-
penditures that some serious attention Is
being paid by Democratic members TO the
nrOpOsitlOn TO increase the whiskeY-taN.
This would be an easy method of raising
additional money, and Mr.. Springer and
his associates will take it under advise
mcnt If the result of their investigation
discloses a call for more revenue.
