There arc many points of resemblance between the message and that sent to Con- gress one year ago-the same ideas are stated in different language. While none of the numerous Re publican Senators and represents tives who have recently been to Canton are willing to quote Pres ident-elect Mckinley to that effect. their general manner of talking leaves not the slightest doubt that an extra session of Congress will be called together within few weeks after the inauguration, to pass tariff bill, regardless of whether this session passed any revenue legislation or not.
 Chairman Hanna has nc reason to complain ofany lack of attention since his arrival Tn Washington, to make the start on the preparation fer the inauguration. Indeed, it is fair to suppose after seeing the crowds which are always around him-he sees all callers-that he would be just as well pleased witE less attention. General Horace Porter, of N. Y.. who will be Chief Marshal of the inaugural parade, is one of Mir.
