EXTRA SESSION,
Unless Congress Acts in Some Man.
ner on the Financial Question.
The Cali win BE Made as Soon After
March 8 as Possible--.an Effort TO Hiring
the Democracy ToSether-Hhnt
Gen. Catchiugs Thinks.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Tho demo-
cratic senators caucused again Thurs.
day afternoon and there was sensa.
tional announcement made. A demo
| cratic senator whose relations with
the president are such to entitle. him
to act as messenger to the senate
whispered on the floor that he had
an interview with Mr.. Cleveland
in which the latter stated in the most
emphatic words that unless this con-
gress acted in some manner on the
financial question he would be com
PEELED to call an extra session of con-
gross. To quote the senator, the presi-
dent seemed in earnest in what he said
and remarked: 81 will call it as soon
after March as possible
In the caucus Thursday afternoon
this threat was used to try and bring
the divided factions of the democracy
together. To show that the presi-
dent has not only disclosed his In
tention to the senate, but is
stirring up the feeling in the
house, Gen. Catchings said Thursday
morning that he thought there was a
change in the feeling of hehouse, for
many members, since they had read
the presidents message and the secre-
tary Of the treasurys report, were
more inclined TO believe now that some
financial bill wo.,ld be passed this ses-
sion. The simultaneous outbreak in
the senate and house from whitehouse
spokesman shows that Mr.. Cleveland is
once more trying to control and direct
legislation.
Already in the house move has been
made to start the financial matter in
the house. The members of the COM
mittee on banking and currency have
held an informal conference and de-
cided not to wait for Mr.. Culberson
any longer, and have called u
meeting of the committee for Friday.
Further than this, the chairman of the
committee has notified Secretary Car
Isle to appear before the committee
and explain his financial plan, by this
action the administration hopes to get
some bill before the house before the
holiday recess, SO that it may be taken
up the first thing next year.
There are rumors. however, that
things in the senatorial caucus did not
go as harmonious as desired. Senator
German was quite active on the floor
of the senate Thursday, and he is down
for speech in the senate which, it is
said, will contain much of interest to
Senator Vest and others, who are now
advocating cloture; in fact, in the open
senate Thursday afternoon, Senator
German and other democrats showed
Mr.. Vest how they intended to treat
his cloture resolution, for when he
tried to take. the floor TO speak. on 1t
again, he was cut off by motion tor
an executive session, and much to Mr..
Vests disgust, it was ordered. and he
lost his chance to speak and also any
hope of pushing his resolution, for the
sugar senators intend to delay it until
it is too late to take it up and dis

CARLISLES PLAN.
a Financial Bills'ynl Re Reported in cha


WASHINGTON. Dec. s.-The admins.
eTa'lons final scheme is blossominp
pleasantly just at present. The lead
yrs OF the majority have determined
euat Secretary Carlislc's plan of cur
rency reform shall be given shane and
submitted to the house for action.
Chairman Springer. of the banking
ana currency committee, said Friday
mat a bid would be reported before
the holidays embodying the principal
features OF Mr. Carlisle's scheme. and
ne was certain that before many DAYS
by the aid of the committee on r,,,ec :.
measure would be passed which would
DC satisfactory to those who had at
heart the relief of the treasury.
before this bill can be reported it ia
the plan that hearings shall be given
10 Secretary Carlisle aud sucf, finan.
ciers as Ex-Secretary Fairchild- and
others before the bill is drafted.
1t is believed the bill which the
banking and currency committee is to
franc will pass the house, but there is
not the slightest possibility of APPROX.
al IN the senate. The senate is SO di-
yided and SO organized that no fnan-
cial plan can become a law at this ses.
sion. This, however, will not deter
MIR. Springer and his associates from
formulating their measure.
The strongest argument used to in
huence the action of the house is the
necessity for adopting some policy
that will check the withdrawal of gold
from the treasury. Before making the
bond sale, the president, through his
friends, was assured that none of the
gold to be. paid for the bonds would be
withdrawn from the treasury re.
serve. This promise has been kept by
the syndicate which secured the $50
600, 600 Of 5 per cent. bonds at a rate
netting but little below per cent. in
terest. With the bonds in their pos
session, the members of the syndicate
are at. full liberty to present green
backs to the subtreasury and get their
gold again.
Treasury officials are quoted as ex-
pressing surprise that the gold which
has been secured with such extraor.
binary trouble should disappear.
Since the advertisement of the sale of
bonds nearly SlO,00O,0 900 in gold has
been withdrawn.

THE DOrY MURDER.
The Murderers, Colored, Trailed by
Bloodhounds to Their Cabin
And Other Points Whore They Had Been
Mob on Hand to Lynch Him-Up to
Late Hour Monday No Attack
Had Been Made.

RICHMOND, KY, Dec. 1o,-The assas-
slnation Of David Doty at his home
near here has caused intense excite
ment. All during Sunday squads OF
men have been on the street corners
discussing the deed, and at least one
Negro is almost certain to be lynched
before morning. New Developments
have intensified the excitement
Saturday night j. III. Neighbors, mar.
shall of Elizabethtown, KY, arrived
in Richmond with two English
bloodhounds and was met at the depot
by large crowd, anxious to see
the chase begin. The scene of the
tragedy is six miles from town, and ID
was after midnight when the hounds
were put on the the trail. The dogs
trailed to the cabin of Abe, Tom and
Bill Taylor, all colored, half mile
distant, then returned to the barn
where Doty was killed; thence to a
point near where Bill Taylor, his two
brothers and Cavanaugh, another Me-
gro, are said to have met after the kill
ing was done.
This was the only trailing that could
be done, and it was not considered eff
fectual until Sunday, when Bill Tay-
lor, the youngest brother, broke down
and confessed that he alone is rcspon-
sible for the deed. He stated that he
was in Doty's barn ats o'clock stealing
one Of his mules for an all nights ride.
Doty, having been informed that some
party or parties would be there that
night-to slip away his horses, went to
the stable and saw Bill Taylor lead
ing one of his mules out. He remark
ed:
"Guess will take charge of this
mule" whereupon Taylor shot him in
the stomach with a revolver. Doty
fell, but arose. Taylor shot again and
the wounded man again fell. To make
sure, the Negro caught him by the
coat collar, lifted him up and shot him
through the head twice. a
This is Taylor's confession. He says he
is guilty but begs not to be swung up.
His plea will likely fall upon deaf ears,
as it is pretty well arranged to have
a hanging before day. The people are
quiet, but furious and determined. The
other Negroes, three in number, and
one Jesse Hatton, also colored, an al
legged accessory to another murder, are
still in jail, and they, too, may suffer
that fate.
1t is thought the bringing Of blood
hounds to Richmond had considerable
to do with Taylor's confession. There
were evidences of mobbers Saturday
night, but better judgment prevailed
and it was decided to wait till more
conclusive proofs could be gained be-
fore resorting to violence. The con-
fession Sunday, it is generally conced-
ed, supplies that proof
The Jail had not been attacked up to
o'clock Monday morning. On. the
street it is now thought probable no
effort will be made to getthe Negro to-

day, aud sentence of death will be
passed on him before Tuesday night,
and the day of his execution will be set
for the near future. .
