1t will be seen from the statement of the con-
dltions to be fulfilled that it would be impossi-
BILE to 80 depress the tracks that all the streets
could be carried over them without change of

As result elevated bridges and approaches
must be constructed, necessitating the closing
OF certain streets and damaging adjacent prop
erty.
Under either plan proposed every east and
west street from to b street. inclusive, will
be closed at the railroad crossing, and Of the
north and south streets it will be necessary to
close 1917, 18TH Sd and LIST streets in the south

WILD. WILD TALK.
A woman Anarchist who Longs
For Blood.

MADRID, Spain, Jan. 22.-Sixteen hun
dred anarchists held a reunion yesterday
evening in Barcelona, to celebrate the
new year. There was much incendiary
talk and several of the speakers predicted
a reign of bloodshed and terror in Spain
during the year just opened. A leading
anarchist, one Valas declared that he
meant to inaugurate 1898 with a bap-
tism of blood. Great shouts of approval
and torrents of denunciation of grandees
and the middle classes folio we'd ttis dec
laration.
woman anarchist named Theresa
Caremunt then sprang to the platform.
She was as fiery an enemy OF the estab'
ished order of things as Louise Niche,
and good deal handsoner.

ON PATTON AVENUE.
An Article On That Streets Paving
That is UD to Date,


The Patton avenue paving has now
reached French Broad avenue and with
good weather may be at Grove street by
this week Saturday. From Ann street
to French Broad avenue the bricks
seem to be much nearer the specfca-
tions than from Depot street to Ann
street. The first hundred feet from
Depot street is very rough. The paying
between the track of the Street railway
company is done, in spots only, from
Depot street to Ann street. and is also
very rough to look at. besides having a
Grown" of it's own that gives the paving
the appearance of having hump in it
somewhat like the aldermanic midnight
backbone from the square to the Federal
building, which looks all the worse now
that the street, for that distance, is
cleaned daily-setting an example that
it's looks, to say the least. The paving
Depot street to Ann street is altogether
of stone.
No sidewalk has yet been laid on Pat.
ton avenue, beyond Bailey, despite
the order of the Board Of Aldermen
to begin the work a month OF
more ago. To add to the discom
fort of persons living on that street
the brick for the sidewalk is, in places
thrown on to what was the sidewalk
and here and dthere-particularly between
Depot street and Woodcock's drug
store-the walk is entirely obstructed
and at the latter point there is no paved
street to walk on. Pedestrians are there
almost literally between his Satanic
Majesty and the deep sea, especially snc'
| the rain of Saturday night.

AGAINST EXTRA SESSIONS
PRESIDENT ELECT Cl-EVE-
LAND DOES NOT FAVOR TEA EHI.
But One NAV ne Necessary Early
i'm the Fall of This Year If a De
felt is Made Ia the Treasury
The yShJsVxex Tax

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-The recent con-
ference between the President-elect and
Speaker Crisp was expected to result in
some authorized announcement on the
subject of an extra session. While these
anticipations have not been realized,
something in the nature of a statement
on "good authority" is being passed
around among the Democratic leaders
This runs to the effect that while no final
decision will be made on the question of
an extra session of Congress until Feb
ruary, by which time the cabinet of the
President-elect will probably have been
selected, the probabilities are decidedly
against an extra session before next
autumn. Mr.. Cleveland, it is stated,
has said to Democratic leaders in Con-
gress that he will call Congress to-
gether in special session. He also told
them, it is reported, that it would not
be convoked before autumn unless the
financial situation and the condition OF
the treasury made it absolutely impossi-
BILE that Congress should meet in the
spring to provide the government with
the necessary amount OF revenue to meet
it's expenses. He wished to avoid the
necessity of an early extra session.
Very soon after the holiday recess the
subcommittee of the House committee
on Ways and Means, appointed to inves-
tigate the condition of the Treasury, will
begin it's work. On the results of its
investigate may possibly depend the
date at which Congress may be called
together. The conclusion on the part OF
the ms jority OF the Subcommittee, that
there will be an actual deficit in the
treasury, unless additional revenue is
raised, ight induce MIR. Cleveland, it is
thought. to alter his views with refer
ence to an extra session in the spring,
but no other consideration that will
bring about such a result is now fore
seen. 1t is the opinion of some of the
leading Democrats in the House that an
investigation will show that the Treas
ury receipts and expenditures are very
nearly equal at present, and there is grave
reason to fear an excess of the latter in
the coming fiscal year. BY the end ot
this month. the subcommittee work o1
investigation will either be concluded OF
far enough in progress to permit the
Democratic members to acquaint Mr.
Cleveland with the situation ana Their
| conclusions as to the future, so that his
final decision with reference to an extra
session may be based on full inform tic 4
| as to the treasury. 1t is because of the
possibility of a close approximation be
tween revenues and expenditures that
some serious attention is being paid by
Democratic members to the proposition
| to increase the whisky tax. This woulo
| be an easy method of raising additional
money, and Mr.. Springer and his asso
ciates will take it under advisement, 1
result of their investigations discloses {
call for more revenue.

APOI.IrICAL sNARL-.
Very Pretty Three COrnercd
Fight.

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 2.-On Tuesday, at
Lincoln. will open one of the prettiest
three cornered fights ever witnessed i'll
legislative session. Neither Of the three
parties has sufficient strength to organ
ize either house of the Nebraska General
Assembly without the assistance of one
of the other two, ond thus far no plan or
combination has been presented that
meets the approval of all parties inter-
ested. 1t seems probable. however, that
the Democrats and Independents may
get together before tomorrow night.
In addition to the election of United
States Senator to succeed Paddock, the
Legislature will be called upon to deal
with important railroad legislation and
other matters of vital interest to the
State. From these reasons comes the
Importance of controlling the organiza-
ton of the House, as the party holding
the organization of that body can con-
troll the Legislature. 1t was suggested
last night that the anti-monopoly body
of the Legislature, irrespective of party.
organize the body and let the senatorial
fight take care of itself.
One OF the peculiar features is the situa-
tion in Knox county. By the decision of
the Supreme court, rendered Saturday, a
Republican will be sent to the House
from that county, instead OF an 1nde.
pendent. To accomplish this it is neces-
sary to serve the courts writ on the
county clerk of Knox county. When the
balliff reached the county seat Saturday
evening he found that the county clerk,
an Independent. had decamped. The
bailiff is now chasing the clerk from
place to place in order to obtain service
on him. But it is too late to comply
with the courts order, and have a Re-
Inn 1ica her at q
session. Unless the combination last
mentioned is made effective the House
and Senate will probably spend a week
getting one organized.

while Stevenson came back and attempt
ed to shoot the six-year-old boy of Mrs.
Watson, and would have done SO had it
not been for Voss striking his hand as he
fired, causing the ball to go over him.
Mrs. Watson was found the next morn
ing near the house with a log across her
head and shoulders that would weigh
about two hundred pounds. 1t is sup,
posed that Voss is implicated in the
murder. The parties arc in the hands OF
