Gage thereupon denounced horserscing

lished, and they had an irritating effect on
Corrigan. who frequented the Wellington.
This evening Corrigan had hot words with
the clerk about securing room, and the
matter was Immediately reported to Mr..
Gage The latter at once wrote to Corri-
gan, saying that If he had used the
language attributed to him he must
Immediately vacate the room to which he
had been assigned, and Corrigan was also
invited to apologize to the clerk. The mas
ter of Hawthorne received the note while at
the telegraph desk Gage being within a
few yards Of him. On reading the note Cor

Gage n ''eur" and otherwise denounced
him. A number of Cages friends. who
knew Corrigan's reputation as a fighter
were close by, and the presence also of two
policemen evidently prevented trouble.
After giving full vent to his rage Corrigan
left the office and went to his room. de-
clarng that he would not give IL mp. Later
in the evening he reappeared, demanded
his bill and paid it. He then had supper

ABOUT AN EXTRA SESSION.
Cleveland Will Not Call One if No Me-
CeSsity Exists for 1t.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-It is given out on
good authority that unless the financial sit
uation and the condition of the national
treasury render IL absolutely necessary
Cleveland will not call an extra session of
Congress till next fall. The question of me-
cessity Is not yet determined, and will not
be before February. by which time Cleve-
land will have selected the memb bers OF his
Cabinet. Very soon after the holiday re-
cess tile b-c0mmittee of the House Conn.,
mittee on Ways and Means appointed to
investigate the condition of the treasury
will begin its work, and on the result of It's
labors the calling or not calling of an extra
session may depend. 1t is said that only an
actual deficit in the treasury will cause
Cleveland to alter his decision not to call
an extra spring session.
1t is the opinion of some of the leading
members of the House that the investiga-
ton will show that the receipts and expend-
ttures of the treasury are very nearly equal
at present, and that there is grave reason to
fear an excess of the latter In the coming
fiscal year. In view of this possibility seri-
Gus consideration is being given to the ques-
ton of increasing the revenue by levying
an additional tax ON whisky.

Morgan is son of Judge Morgan OF New

with dissensions between Morgan and his
wife, Mrs. Morgan charging her husband
with subjecting her to indignities and with
cruelty. He. in turn, charged her with re-

that he intended to bring suit for divorce,
threatening to summon as correspondents

city, whose names he mentioned at the

IN FAVOR OF PIERCE.
The Election of the Oregon PopuIist
Eiector Sustained.

LICCkOE
SALEM. Or, Jan. 2--The Suprems Court
to-day decided the mandamus proceedings
to compel the Secretary of State in making
the official canvass of votes cast for Presi-
Dental electors at the recent election to
abstain from counting the votes cast iu
counties where tile name of Pierce. -Populist
elector; appeared twice on the official
ballot.
The court decided in favor of Pierce,
which gives one electoral vote of the State
to the Popnlists. TIE court held that the
printing cf Plerce's name ON the ballot
more than once was contrary to the pro-
visions Of the statute. but that it was an
error by the County Clerk. This error,
the court holds. does not deprive The voter
who cast the ballot Of the elective franchise
or the candidate for whom it was cast Of
the benefit OF such vote.
The decision says the law is mandatory
In the sense that itrequires county clerks ia

in the sense that the voters rightto exercise
the elective franchise will be lost because

Clerk in printing. the names OF candidates

Such construction. of the law would not
only render an election invalid on account

but would open. the door to gross fraud. Is
would place the power in the hands Of a dis
honest officer to disfranehise the voters OF
his county, as we'll as 10 cause the defeat Of
any particular candidate.
The court remarks that 1t Is doubtful

tied to the inspection of the ballots A.
