WASHINGTON NEWS.

WAsn1NoToN, June 29.-Though no Of
, fetal announcement has been made, the
almost universal opinion of members Of
congress now in the city is that congress
! will be called to meet in extra session on
the first Monday in September.
A member of the cabinet said yesterday
that the president did not believe that he
could secure the repeal of the Sherman
law without concessions. That he would
be willing to make some, but he greatly
dislikes the idea of the repeal of the state
bank tax and hopes that the silver men
will ask no more.
1t is believed that the president and the
senate can nullify the Geary law by nego-
tiating new Chinese treaty which would
regulate the immigration question. A
treaty may replace statute according to
the supreme court.

WARRINGTON, June 29.--Surg. Gen. Wy
man, of the marine hospital service, re-
ferring to the outlook for cholera in the
United States during the present summer
said
"We have an even chance of escaping
the cholera altogether this year. Shonld
it arrive it will certainly not become epi-
demic. It's non-appearance thus far
proves that no germs have lived over the
winter in this country, as it was feared
might happen. The prospect now ia
much better than l expected 1t would be
at this time. However, it should not
be forgotten that the disease did not
reach the United States last year until
August. There is plenty of time for
trouble yet"
If cholera should get foothoid in this
country, DR.. Wyman thinks, it would be
quicklysstamped out.
