Washington, Dec. 26.-An extra ses-
sion of congress seems inevitable, and
the Republicans are even now getting
ready to meet the emergency. One of
the plans which find much favor is the
gradual retirement Of the three hun

the greenbacks are In process of retire

to the treasury gold, and the greatest
factor in the financial disturbance will
have been removed.

may exist when the new congress is
organized can be made up by carefully
prepared special acts calculated not to
interfere with the tariff system as a
whole.
