1t is certain that there will be an
extra session Of congress this fall, but ii
is expected to be brief one. The
idea is to nave the extra session begin
September lst or 18th, re-elect Speak
er Crisp and have him reorganize the
more important committees. After
this is accomplished an adjournment
will be taken until the regular session
of the fifty-third congress meets in
December. The committees can then
proceed with their duties during the
Intervening period and will have the
greater part of their routine work
completed by December.
Speaker Crisp will be reelected and
that the important committees will
be changed is not doubted. Mr.. Sprin-
ger will not be retained at the head Of
the ways and means committee. 1t
is uncertain yet who his successor will
be, but w. l.. Wilson OF West Vir-
ginia is thought to be the man. Will
son, as is well known, is a tariff ex
pert and will probably be chosen
because of his knowledge upon this
important question. The president is
determined that the tariff shall be
radically revised, and he has no Oppo-
sitiOn in congress on this point at any
rate. 1t is more than likely that Mr..
Holman, the great Objector, will De
retired from the Craftsmanship of the
appropriations committee, but no one
seems to be able to indicate who his
successor will be. There are congress
si0nal prophets who believe that Mr..
Springer may be put at the head of
this committee.
The Lewiston reservoir, in Ohio,
broke on the night of May I'd and a
wall of water ten feet deep and three
miles wide swept over the country,

lives were lost but the destruction of
property was great. Should another
break occur and liberate the entire
body of water, an awful catastrophe
will follow.

To Block Cholera.

NEW YORK, May 3.-The new in
migration law which went into effect
today will make many changes in the
system at Ellis Island. The law pro-
vides for the inspection OF immigrants
at the places of embarkation and ar
rival; and while il is evidently supe-
rior TO the former method of handling
steerage passengers, its workings Will,
il is believed, cause some trouble at
first. Emigrants leaving the other
side will be entered in blocks of thirty
on the inspectors sheets, which will
be tailed here on their arrival. On
these sheets are twenty questions call
ing for information as to the emf
grants life and condition. When the
vessels arrive at United States ports
the steerage passengers will have to
be gathered in files of thirty, CORE
spending to their order on the blanks,
and will again be required to answer
the questions which were put to them
when they embarked.
DR.. Senner, commissioner of immi-
grafton at Ellis Island, said today that
this wonld probably cause a great
deal of trouble and additional expense
to get in good running order, but that
it was an excellent system. 1.-THE
medical inspection of these emf
grants" said DR.. Senner, will prove
an efficient check to cholera, and
although l speak from layman's
standpoint, think there will be none
of the infection in this country during
the coming summer"
The steamship companies are little
afraid of the law, as they fear immi-
grants who don't answer questions
truthfully on the other side will be
thrown on their hands here, causing
the expense Of taking them back to
the other side. DIR. Jenkins, health
officer of the port, said today that he
will have a conference with the steam
ship people on Friday to arrange plans
for additional safety. At the meeting
ne will present to the steamship Off
cials the regulations which the quar-
antine authorities have decided to en-
force, and he will also state to them
the methods by which they will be
carried out.

a dispach from London says that
the new Cunarder Campania is soon
to have a rival in White Star vessel
designed to be larger, swifter and in
every way more remarkable. Her
builders are making q great secret of
her construction and all information
out that she is to be called the Gigan-
tic. While the Campania, the largest
vessel now afioat, is $40 feet long, six
ty-five feet beam and of 10000 horse
power, the new Gigantic will be larger
than the Great Eastern. Her dimen-
sions are to be zoo feet in length, six
ty-eight feet beam and $1,000 horse
power. She will therefore be eight
feet longer than the Great Eastern,
but fifteen feet less in breadth. The
horsepower of the Great Eastarn's
engines, however, was less than 5000.
While the Teutonic, Majestic, New
York and Paris have accomplished an
average rate of twenty knots across
the Atlantic, the Campania and the
Lucania are expected TO do twenty
three, but at one bound the Gigantic
is to run at a speed of twenty-seven
knots an hour, so that the voyage
from Queenstown to Sandy Hook will
be reduced to about 100 hours or just
over four days.
NEW YORK, April 50.-The great

J. C. Carter, counsel for the United

has finished his statement of the posi-

female seals, heavy with unborn
young, and other horrors of pelagic
sealing. To prevent these horrors
and protect the seal herds the United
States had taken a position which he
had explained to the best of his abil-
ity. The United States had taken
this position at the risk of war with
Great Britain, and they had been
ready to maintain their position and
thus discharge their duties to human
ity, even if they were obliged to face
half the world in arms. History
would recognize their rights and JUS
tice their cause. The duty of the
United States was not extfnguished
by the reference of the dispute to the
tribunal, but it had been merely
The United States had
withdrawn and left to arbitrator the
sacred duty of forbidding pelagic seal
ing and combining seal-killing to the
islands. If the tribunal should de-
cline to assume that duty, it would
only leave for posterity new causes
for contention.

ruhe with Prince bismarck on the
question of anti-semitism, which is at
present playing an important part in
the political affairs Of the interior.
Prince Bismarck expressed himself
freely and left little doubt as to his
position on the question. The inter-
view was quite lengthy.
81 was never friend of the Jews,n
said Bismarck, lowing to my educa-
ton. 1 was in 1S47 the adversary of
Jewish emancipation, which l subse-
quently favored in 1869 because the
late Baron Bleichroeder appreciated
my national projects. The re-appear-
ance of anti-semitism after an epoch
of speculation is natural, because the
deceived people eonfound capitalism
with Judaism. In 1880 the anti-capi-
talist movement could have been
moderated only by the safety valve of
anti-Jewism. The Ahlwardt era will
result in politics with no important
or lasting consequences"
Prince Bismarck added that the
adoption of legal means against the
Jews would be useless, and expressed
the opinion that the cross-breeding of
the Hebrew and Gentle races would
gradually bring about settlement Of
the vexatious question. The tone of
the interview was moderate through
out.

EnCland and Hawaii.

The Philadelphia Bulletin says that OF
one thing we may be sure. aud this IL that
if the United States does not annex Hawai-
England will not be long in taking such
steps as will render that island practically
a British dependency. and then adds:
"The championship OF Queen LihuokalanFs
cause would mean nothinR more nor less than an
ultimate British protectorate of the island. The
recent Hawaiian movement has qutckened Great

may make towards establishing a British
protectorate over Hawaii. Notwthstand-
ing that we thus forecast the consequences
of England's interference III or with our
Hawaiian annexation scheme, We would
still counsel prompt action on the part Of
our national rulers Congress and the
President. Let us not wait for aggressive
movements on the part of our British cou-

every householder here aroused 70 the
necessity of looking first after his or her

of his or her neighbors.

Men and women who are too ignorant or
too reckless TO do their duty voluntarily
should be forced by the officers of the law
TO do il. II is "a important for this com
munity to have Jackson Ward clean as 1t is

Richmond had in olden times would cost

lives.
