In reply to questions as to the proha-
bility of an extra session Of congress
Immediately after McKinley's inaugura-
ton, TO provide revenue by some revision
of the tariff. Mr.. Dingiey said:
80 far as / knew. no decision has
been reached, and none probably will be
until congress meets and the Repub-
licans have an opportunity 10 exchange
views and confer with the president
elect. / think there Is q very general
feeling among Republicans. and ! doubt
not Mr.. Mckinley shares in 1t. that there
must be secured through tarin legisla-
tion at the earliest possible time suffi-
cient revenue TO run the government and
leave reasonable surplus for an exi-
gency, and that the sooner whatever
tariff legislation Is proposed Is accom-
plished the better.
THE proba BILE status of the senate on
such tariff legislation after March will
have much TO do in determining the
course to be pursued. / cannot believe.
however. that a majority of the senate.
as it will be constituted after March 4,
Will refuse TO concur with the Repub-
Iican house In such tariff legislation as
may be necessary to run the government
without resort TO the issue of bonds.
and to aid in restoring prosperity to the
country.
"The house will not propose anything
further I'm this direction at the ap-
preaching short session. as II passed
revenue bill and sent Ii TO the senate
last December, and IL the senate desires
TO do anything In this line 1t can take
this bill from the senate calendar any
day and pass IL as II stands. or pass II

Mr.. Apsiey Favors II.
Washington, Nov. l5.-Congressman

L
call an extra session. do not see how II
can be avoided Sufficient revenue must
be raised TO carry on this government,
and the only way 10 get II is 10 secure
more income through the tariff. ! think
IL may prove a good thing TO take up the
Dingley bin as soon congress meets
