A BLOCKADE
May Force Cleveland to Call
An Extra Session,
And The PubIic's Interests May Make
II Imperative.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The talk OF an
extra session has been revived again. 1t
has been rather dormant OF late and es-
pecially since the recent bonds cling con-
tract has been consuInmated and the OPP
ton which the foreign syndicates hold on
all the bonds TO be issued between now
and Oct. l next this clause being held
To indicate that In the absence OF congress
the issue of bonds would be controlled for
the next nine months by the treasury de-
partment
Tho presidents remark to some western
representatives-elcct, in which he asked
them significantly how they would like
to bc called here to enter upon fheir
duties about March l5 is regarded by
many as an Indication that he had the
matter of an extra session under advise
ment. He has talked IN similar strain to
several members Of congress during the
last two or three weeks
It is well understood and known by
those who are on intimate terms with the
president that lac does not desire uu extra
session of the Fifty-fourth congress. But
he has repeatedly conveyed TO those who
have talked with him that he would call
an extra session IL the public service re-
quired it.
Where the Trouble Lies.
The action of a number Of Republicans
I'm the senate during the last four or i've
days has given rise to puch speculation.
These senator's have inddlged In consider
able unnecessary debate upon appropria
tion bills, the discussioo taking very wido
range. Their object, it Ia alleged, Is to
prevent the passage OF some one OF the
largo appropriation bills by noon on
March 4. and thus force an extra session.
The senators arc engaged In these OBJ
structive tactics, 1t Is understood, for the
purpose of preventing the passage OF other
important pending legislation, especially
the pooling. bankruptcy and sugar bills.
They appear determined not to allow any
of these bills to be acted on.
The condition OF the five appropriation
bills now before the senate-the legisla-
tive, the sundry civil, naval, deficiency
and postoffice-will now require all the
time of the senate to secure their pas
sage. There is less than two days on an
average left to be devoted to each one OF
these:bills.
The outlook for any legislation In the
senate outside of the appropriation bills is
very dubious. The financial question Is
the only one that may make it necessary
for an extra session to be called. So far as
the condition Of the treasury is concerned
there seems to be little hope of decided i'm
provement except from what will be OBJ
tanned from the sale OF bonds.
The difficulty may be overcome by the
retention in the sundry civil bill Of the
amendment reported by the senate COM
mittec providing for the issue of certifl-
Gates OF indebtedness. IL Is expected that
this proposition will give rise to spirited
and protracted debate, and there may be n
good deal of tirpe wasted in discussion of
the subject This the Democratic Nom
bers of the appropriation committee de-
sired to avoid.

Anyone who is 40 years of age can get
up an interesting reverie by thinking of
the prevailing styles as demonstrated by
the fair sex in that length of time. Talk
about the vagaries OF the puffed sleeves,
they are not on board the same train with
the "Grccian bend" One can almost
see some exponent of fashion promen-
aiding Westminster street wit b the GreciaD
bend exempllfsd. II remember Alright it
was what the Delsarte walk is now, with
the added weight ofsuperfiuous incongru-
tiles in the way OF wire cage fastened
at the waist. At the time the style was
so numerically guyed and burlesqued
on the stage that the "Grecian bend"
soon disappeared.

There is talk OF war between this
country and England over the Nenezuc.
Ian boundary dispute. President Cleve-
land sent "a special me essage on the sub
ject to congress on Tuesday. He said
th, government had asked England to
submit the matter to arbitration, bat
England had refused 70 accede t. the re-
quest. He therefore recommended the
appropriation by congress of a sum
sufficient to pay the expenses of IA com
so that this government might know
what action to take. I'm closing, the
president says:
In making these recommendations /
am fully alive to the responsibility in
cured, and keenly realize all the CON
sequences that may follow. | am.
nevertheless, firm in my cOnvictior that
while it is a grieYOus thing to cOntem-
plate the two great Speaking
people of the world as being otherwise
than friendly competitors in the onward
march of civilization and strenuous and
worthy rivals in all the arts of peace,
there is no calamity which a great ma
tiOn can invite which equals that which
follows supine submission to wrong
and injustice and the consequent loss of
national sclf-respect aud honor beneath
which are shielded and defended a
peoples safety and greatness.
The house promptly passed bill ap-
proprating 100000 for the commits
sion's expenses, and bills providing for
large additions to the defensive works
of the country have been introduced III
both the senate and house. The presi-
dents position is strongly endorsed by
the leading men of all parties in the
country. The English papers are ugly,
of course, and profess to look upon the
document as merely bid for a third
term.
