| held by q number of congressman il
| that the extra session will not bt
| lengthy, and that financial matters alone
| will engage it's attention.
| G. w. Wheeler of Alabama, said:
Il see no reason why the country
should be burdened by long tiresome
session with tho attendant debates and
set speeches. The president has called
them together by reason of the gravity
of the money question, and that alone
"There are numerous members OF
congress who believe 1t will be wise
for congress as soon as organized TO
pass q resolution giving the preside Mt
authority to suspend the purchase act
or deal with it as he may deem be st.
Congress could then adjourn at once.
When convened in regular session in
December financial condition could be
dealt with intelligently and with deli
beration and in light of the result of
four months work under that policy
the president might under a reeolu-
ton inaugurate it"
