AN EXTRA SESSION.

Probable That One VIII lie called Noxt
spring, No Matter Which Party Wins.
WASHINGTON, June 49, An extra SEES.
sion Of congress next spring seems
practically decided upon, whether the
republicans or the democrats win In
the presidential election this autumn.
The republican leaders have been plan
ming for some time for a special session
Of the now congress to put the McKin-
Icy law in operation and to provide
sufficient revenue to wipe out the pres
ent monthly deficit and to add to the
accumulated surplus. Maj. Mckinley
caused 1t to be understood through
his friends that this programme
was agreeable to him and
the calling Of an extra session in March
or April has been regarded as fore
gone conclusion In case Of republican
success in November. The argument
made for prompt action on the tariff
has been that every congress which
has thus far dealt with the subject in
recent years has been kept In session
for months beyond the usual date Of
adjournment and that final action on
a new tariff law has not been secured
until nearly two years after the people
had rendered their verdict at the polls.

means committee ut work on tariff

American would decline a nomination
for president He might shy he would,
but no one would believe him. Lam
not candidate, do not know that my
name will be presented In the Chicago
convention and in no way am ! seeking

He was then asked as to whether he
considered that the gold standard nd
vocates are making any nroads on the
free silver column, II think this" the
governor replied. slowly, when the
national convention meets the con-
servative men in the party will con-
troll. They always do control such
gatherings As to how much the silver
men will concede, cannot say. But
party feeling runs strong at such
time, and ! believe the conservatives

sions made before any man will leave

Quite an adventure befell one Of
our formerly Of Abilene boys Sunday
morning. Archie Stanley was taking
the Messrs, Scanlan's cows to the pas

Hill river bridge when two large
gray wolves came fiercely toward
him. His dog got into tussle with
one and both wolves were making 1t
evident that the dog would soon be
overpowered, when Archie gained the
attention Of some campers and they
helped him drive the wolves off, The
dog is badly hurt and may die. He
is great pet and favorite and has
twice saved his young masters life
before this unusual encounter. 1t is
supposed the animals got adrift dur

carried far beyond their native dens
on driftwood. Many ambitious

scalps as a trophy Of their hunting
skill.

MAY LOS THE SENATE.


Republicans WIN Not he Able - Organies
That Hody without the AID Of silver
voseA
WASHINGTON, June "a Tho bolt Of
the silver republicans ct st. Louis
may make sad havoc with the repub-
lican majority in the senate, even In
case Of the election Of Mckinley. The
question IL already being discussed
here whether the republicans will b.
recognised - the masters Of the SON
ate In the next congress or the COM
mittees shall be reorganized by the
free silver minority. The republicans
have been counting until recently
upon gaining democratic seats in tho
senate in oil states which have been
voting republican in the great land
slides Of 1904 and 1905. This has a.
ready given them a senator In Mary
land aud one in Ohio, and they expect
ed to add gains in New York, South
Dakota, Illinois, Kansas, Wisconsin,
Indiana, and even in Kentucky and
Missouri. They now generally recog-
nze that their chances In the latter
two states are not bright. and that
their position may not be entirely sure
II they capture all Of the others. The
addition OF those eight states already
won or hoped for would give the re-
publicans nominal strength Of 81 sena-
tors and would leave but ss for all
other parties The desertion Of seven
silver republicans, however, would re-
duce the party strength to IS and per-
init the passage OF II tariff bill only by
the casting vote OF the vice president
