 WAsHIsGToN-In referring to the question of an extra session Of con- gress. the Pos: today says: "The question is being quietly discussed by representatives. It would no, be called perhaps, were it not for the re- cent bond issue, coupled with the kn owledge that the present demo- cratic congress, winch has yet three months to serve, will not likely come to the relief of the crippled condition of the treasury"
 WAsHISGToN-The declarations If Senators Stewart and Pefer render it rather uncertain whether the populist senators or any of their number will unite with the republican senators for the purpose of securing control of the senate after the 4th of March.

 CHrcAGo--Seventeen big policemen were suspended by Inspector Schaack al tie Easi Chicago avenue station last night. Thelr indifference to the numerous crimes committed at the polls, eliminating in the murder Of Gus Collander on election night. is alleged to be the direct cause.

A RESPECTFUL TYRANT.

Discharge of a Disagreeable Duty by .
 Faithful Servant.
 Beaumarchais. a famous French au- thor, had a servant, Antoine by name, who had been long in his service, and against whose tyranny he seldom ven tured to rebel. One evening, in his in a game of chess, when Antoine en- tered and said. somewhat sharply but respectfully:
 Monsieur. it is 10 o'clock"
 Very well, Antoine" the master said, but let me finish the game"
 If you don't come now, monsieur. you will be tired tomorrow morning" ''Oh. no, think not, Antoine"
 And being tired out you will not want to get up
 ''Oh, yes, Antoine, shall get up."
 No. monsieur, you will not get up." All right, Antoine; will go in g few moments"
 And if you are not up, monsieur, at the usual time you win derange your whole day"
 ''ln minute, in minute"
 And you will have no appetite for DTtdELdSl- lA4Cl4sicUr
 Come now, let me finish this game! Cant you see the clock is fast?"
 But the clock is slow, monsieur"
 "I tell you it is fast"
 The clock is slow. monsieur"
 "Now, now, The game is almost done. and then
 But if the game were almost done you would not have so many pawns left, monsieur"
 Antoine, I should have been done already if you had let me alone"
 Hut l shall not let you alone, mon sieur"
 ''I tell you shall finish the game Get out, Antoine"
 We will get out together, mon sieur."
 Antoine, I'm not baby"
 You do not cry, monsieur. Apart from that there is not much differ ence."
 The dialogue went on in this way for some time. Beaumarchais, shrug- ging his shoulder, moved a pawn on the chessboard, and then Antoine lowing very low and with great out ward show of respect to the company, seized the board and tipped it over, dumping the ctessmen in heap on the floor.
 Beaumarchias was on the point of flying into violent rage, but at the sight of his valet, who stood by wear ing an air of sweet humility joined with the consciousness of duty nobly done. he burst into g loud fit of laugh ter and suffered himself to be led home and put to bed. The next morning Beaumarchais was found dead in bed. Whether or not the excitement of this mild contro- versy with his valet hastened his death is not known. Antoine, at any rate. was sure he had done his duty, and it is quite possible that his care of the old gentleman had already pro longed his slife.-Million. <z

Evans and HIS Joke.

When nature endows a man with a
light hand and a loose tongue, the
fates invariably make him a barber.
This explains why Charlie Evans is
in the tonsorial profession. In ad-
dition to the two qualities mentioned
above. Evans possesses light heart
and humorous disposition. In fact,
his life is one great joke. He smiles
even in his saddest moments and
knows not what it is to grieye.
Municipal politics has given his
pent up levity full scope, and it is in
the politicians sphere that Evans
shines as a great humorist Today
ne is republican, tomorrow a dem
ocrat, the next he is something else
probably prohibitionist-but he
is always Evans-"with his friends. -
One OF the popular ex-alderman's
greatest sources of amusement is
the Union. He dearly loves to ..plav
horse" with that sheet. Whenever
he does anything which casts suspic-
ion on his republicanism, he goes to
the Union and asks it to vouch for
his party fealty. and it always cheer
fully grants his request. For the
steenth time the Union has declared
that Evans is republican simply
because he told it to. We don't
blame Evans for being Jester when
he can find such ready dupes.
If all republicans were like Evans
what a grand democratic majority
We could roll up.

with these gained an entrance to the

sion OF the explosion shattered the

withstood the shock and was found
running when first examined. All
the robbers got for their pains was a
valuable gold watch belonging to

to his wife. now dead. and held be-
yond money value rs memento.
John Catour and wife. residing near,
heard the explosion. and their strik-
ing light together with commo
ton raised by the barking of dogs,
doubtless scared the burglars so that
they fled without attempting to force
the inner doors of the safe. There
was over $1,000 in cash in the safe,
besides all the bank valuable papers
and books. The bank is owned by
Hon. Thomas Movers, John F. Now
ers and John Sears. While the loss
OF the cash would not have embar-
raised the institution. which is one
OF the strongest and most conserva-
tive in this locality. the proprietors
are very thankful for their narrow
escape. The greatest loss sustained
Is on the safe. which is rendered
valueless and will have to be re-
placed by n new one. No clue had
been obtained to the burglars at last

MIR. Buncher was seen by an ARGUS
representative this morning. and to
him he said that his reasons for re-
signing were that he had not the
time to attend To the commission
er's duties and that he considered
the accusations made against him as
reflection. on his veracity and in
tegrity, for political reasons. Fur
thermore, that the time and efforts
devoted by him to the Improvement
OF the park was gratuitous, and in
view of this fact he could not sacri-
flee his business. The park. il is
needless to say, shows for Mr.. Bun
cher's untiring efforts, and his deter
mination carried into effect has
caused much regret.
Mayor Medill was also seen. and
said that he had received Mr.. Bun
cher's resignation and would read it
TO the council next Monday evening.
When asked whether he had deter
mined on Mr.. Buncher's successor.
he replied that he had not. but tina,
he would endeavor to appoint one
soon in some suitable person.
