WILL THERE BE EXTRA SESSION
1t Is Said to Be Favored by Presi-
dent-EIect Mckinley.

New York, Nov. 23.-The Mail and Fly
press today says there is going to be an
extra session of congress called within 20
days after the Inauguration of President
elect Mckinley. This information comes
from Canton today in a positive, direct
way, and its reliability can not be ques-
!, toned. 1t is the opinion of the president
elect that no revenue legislation can be
accomplished this winter, and though the
newspaper dispatches disagree regarding
his attitude toward the present agitation
for the Dingley bill, there is substantial
authority for the statement that McKin-
ley is averse to raising expectations to It's
enactment, which, in his judgment, can
not be realized. He fears the business
community would become demoralized
should the bill be passed by the mouse
again, only to be laid aside by the senate,
and does not share Senator Sherman S
opinion that the measure can pass the
senate before the reorganization of that
body March 4.

COMPETITOR PRISONERS ARE SAFE.
Spanish Authorities VIII Give Them
Fair Trial.

Washington, Nov. A.-The state depart
nent has received absolutely no informa-
ton from Havana or elsewhere concern
ing the report that Competitor prisoners
have been tried by a secret summary
court. From further inquiries 1t Is ap-
parent that the Spanish authorities are
making an investigation Of the Competi-
tor case similar to that provided for I'M
der our grand jury system. Consuls OF
Spain in this country are investigating
claims to American citizenship of the
persons arrested. From Spanish sources
1t is learned that there is no intention
OF dealing with the Competitor prisoners
in a harsh manner.
Committeeman Lee Talks.
Washington, Nov. 2-Consul General
Lee was at the state department again
today. When asked as to the report that
the Competitor prisoners had been tried
at Moro castle, contrary to a protest made
by him before he left Havana, Lee said:
II do not believe any trial has occurred.
II it had the facts would be speedily re-
ported here by Vice Consul Springer.
There have been some preliminary steps
toward the trial and the dispositions of
the prisoners were taken, but further
than this nothing has been done
| that 1 know of"
When General Lee was asked as to the
protest referred to as having been made
by him. he said it probably referred to
the report made by him before the first
trial of the Competitor prisoners and re-
newed in the present instance, that the
men being taken on an American ship
were entitled to a civil trial rather than
a trial by court-martial as provided In
the treaty and protocol between the Unit
ed States and Spain.
The consul general referred to an open
letter from a Fredericksburg, Va, editor
to President Cleveland which was pub
lished today, urging the president to act
on Cuba Coming from a fellow towns
man and a close friend of General Lee,
some significance might attach to it, but
Lee said he desired to have it understood
that he knew nothing about that letter
and had nothing to do with It,

VIEWS OF
Thought to He Outlined I'm State
ment by Gov. GrOsvenOr.

Cincinnati, Nov. 2S.-The Commercial
Tribune will print tomorrow long ar
ticle signed by General Grosvenor, con-
gresham from the Eleventh Ohio dis
trict in which he outlines his view as to
the policy of the republican party. He
says, in the outset, he expresses his
own views and does not undertake to
connect or represent any other member
of the party than himself. Furthermore,
he does not even consent to bind himself
to these views, should the majority Of
his republican associates on the ways and
means committee dissent from them. He
says:
1.-THE question of the hour, it seems
to me. so far as relates to economic leg
isIation, is, ought the Fifty-fourth con-
gress in its closing session pass the Ding
lev bill. or should that measure be al
lowed to perish and the republican par
ty move forward to the discharge OF the
high duty imposed upon it by the recent
election?'
On these questions, General Grosvenor
takes the position that although 1t might
be well II the Dingley bill could be passed
for temporary relief, and be followed Inn
