Prospects of an Extra session.

Washington, November 11.-No veri-
tlcation of the report that Chairman
Hanna has announced President McKin-
ley Is intention to call ansextra session of
Congress Immediately after the 4th of
March, has been received in Washington.
1t is regarded here as extremely doubt
full that the president-sleot has determined
upon this course. Senators Sherman and
Quay are inclined to the belief that ii
the Dinglsy reyenue-raising bill, passed
by the House of Representatives In De-
oember last. could be brought to suc-
oessful vote in the Sen ate during the
coming winter, an extra session would
be avoided.
1t Is the general opinion Of the best in
formed men in Washington that If the
Republican Senators succeed in their
effort TO relieve the treasury by supply
ing the needed revenue that would be
furnished by the passage of the Dingley
bill, an extra session of Congress at the
opening of the new administration may
be avoided, and chance thus given the
business men to recover from one COM
meroial scare before being plunged inev
another.

GIVE BRYAN Sig SEND OFF.
To visit State Where His Peculiar Tenets
Most Strongly Obtain.

Denver, Col, November 11.-When
VIM. J. Bryan reaches Denver on Novem-
ber "a, he will be greeted by such an out
pouring Of the people as has never been
witnessed west of the Missouri.
The occasion will be made the opening
of the silver campaign of 1900. Bimetal-
lists Of national fame will be here. An in
vitation is to be extended to Mr.. Jones.
The plan is to have Mr.. Bryan speak
in half dozen halls and if he can re-
main over two days to give a parade. that
all who cannot hear may see him. The
reception will be of national Significance
az sounding the bugle for the rally four
years hence. All the large halls of the
city will be opened. 1t Is safe predic-
tion to say that 100, 600 visitors will be
in the city.
Realizing that Mr.. Bryan has been
fatigued by the campaign, he will be
asked to say only a few words at each
meeting to the people of the common
wealth that rolled up such large ma
Jority for him aT the late election.

OUR COAST DEFENCEs.
Gen. Miles Recommends Appropriation
for Portland in His Annual Report.

Washington, Novem ber 1l.-In his annu-
al report, General Nelson A. Miles. COM
mand1ng the army, refers to the limited
military operations during the year on
heiMexican frontier aagainst hostile In
dians or bodies.of men engaged in vio.
lating the United States laws orSinter-
national treaty obligations. ThesGeneral
commends the dtctpline and personnel
of the army and recommends that the
enlisted strength of the army be fixed
at one soldier ts every 1000 population as
a minimum, the maximum not to exceed
one soldier for every 1000 OF the popu-
lation, the strength to be determined
within these limits by the Presi dent of
the United States, according to the me-
cessities and requirements of the nation.
Consideration of the Importance of
coast defences comprises the greater
part of Gen. Miles's report aud is the
subject of his most importane sugges-
tions. He reviews the recommendations
made that liberal appropriations should
be made for the manufacture of high
power guns and mortars. the oonstruo-
tion of eInplacements, platforms and for
tifcations for the same and the construo-
t1On OF barracks and quarters for the
| accommodations of thesartillery garri-
sons that are to command them.
He urges that a sufficient appropria-
tion be made available for the work of
ordinance, engineers and quartermasters'
departments during the year at many
points of both coasts, including the fol-
lowing: Portland, Me-, $1,134. $50:

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
What Is Left Of Once All Powerful Orsani-
zation Meets in Rochester.

Rochester, N. Y, Novem her 11.-At
day Grand Master Workman Sovereign
made his annual address.
General Secretary Treasurer Hayes read
his report. He said the officers the past
year had haH to contend against the at
tempt of small clique OF men, familiar
ly known az the "New York Triangle
of the Sooialistic labor party, to get con-
troll of the machinery OF the Knights of
Labor for the dissemination of their
doctrines, which he believed inimica BILE
and at variance with the platform and
principles of the order.
Speaking Of the printing department.
of the official journal and the efforts to
keep ID alive BY getting some remuners-
tinn Tor work done he says: " During the
past campaign the Office printed for the
national silver committee 25u, GOO doou-
nents; for the Democratic Congressional
committee 800, 600 Documents; $50, 900
| copies of the Jour nal; for the Illinois
Democratic state committee, 125,000 doc
| uments. s. The total receipts for the above
wOrkmen was $3.50.
| In his address Mr.. Sovereign invei CHS
| frantioally against what he calls the
money power and among other things
says;
"Nnt only have tho idle spesulating &
classes demonstrated their ability to
dominate productive enterprise and accu-
mulate the wealth of toiling millions,
| but they have demonstrated their power
| to ooerce wage workers and mortgaged
| farmers with threats of discharge and
oreclosure into su BIN ission to their will.
The autocFatic holders of idle money
have subverted the prinoip1es of free
government by forcing political service
from the poor as the tenure Of employ
ment.
| Chow to prevent tn 9 complete over
throw Of our civil liberty is the problem
Of the hour. How weak and impover-
ished labor can triumph over naughty,
dOmineering, confederated capital, is a
question too serious to admit of p-ooras-
tination. 1t must be considered in all its
length and breadth, and the best possible
organization perfected to meet the
Vaccinations of the money changers.
He says that in the struggle just closed
that the Knights of Labor was the only
organization which stood against the or
ganized money power of the two conti-
nents, and that the officers of no other
organization helped them except that
matchless champion of labor, Eugene V.
Debs.''

PREDICTS SPANISH WAR.
Gen. Bradley 7. johnson On Cuban
Situation.
SAYS M'KINLEY WILL RECOGNIZE
THE INSURGENTS.

And that Spain Will Immediately Declare
War Against the United states-Such
an Outcome Would Be Welcomed By
the Madrid Government.
Baltimore, November 11.-Gen. Bradley
L. johnson. who recently returned from
Cuba, says that he believes the insur
gents will eventually win, possibly with
in eight months, Notwithstanding the
enormous forces arrayed against them.
"But there IL another FEATURE" he
continued, "about the contest worthy
of note. If the incum bent administra-
tion does not take some action looking
to the recognition of the independence
of Cuba, it Is my opinion that President
elect Mckinley will take that step imme-
diately uPon his Inauguration as Presi-
dent"
"What would be the effect Of such
stepp''
ga declaration of war by Spain against
the United States. It is true that such
war would be short-lived, resulting
disastrously to Spain, but 1T would
afford Spain the opportunity whileslos-
ing Cuba to uphold her national honor.
She would be In position to say she
was not overcome by the insurgents,
but by a superior power, the United
States. 1t is one of the fundamental prin-
ciplo of national honor of Spain that
there shall be no surrender to any re-
bellion in her colonies, and while she
as lost those in America, the loss has
been by purchased OF by methods by
which her national honor has not been
jeopardized.
'fOf course, in case of war with Spain,
the United States would demand au in
| dsmnity, that indemnity would be
| Cuba. And SO you see Spain would not
surrender Cuba to the insurgents, but TO
the United States. can say this that
as our political campaign has been set
tied, there will be revival In the inter-
est Of Americans in Cuban affairs"

WANT TO BIZ PROTECTED.
Farmers Entitled to Consideration in
This Respect.
DOCTRINE ADVOCATED BY GRAND
MASTER BRIDGHAM.


Significant Address by Grand Master
Says American Farmers Cannot Com
pete With Foreign Agriculturalists.
Washington. November 1.-THE thir
teenth session of the National Grange
convened here this morning, thirty states
being represented by $50 delegates. At
the afternoon session the annual reports
of the several officers were read. Worthy
Master J. II. Brigham briefly considered
a number of pertinent topics.
OF agricultural topics he said' "The
farmer who is receiving fair returns for
his labor and invested capital is now the
exception. There has been no general
failure of crops, but the prices received
for most of them do not pay for the labor
OF production. 1t is well known to all
of us that competition and growth and
marketing Of many products OF the farm
Is world wide. Our bread stuff, meat
and cotton must compete in European
markets with like products Of all export
ing countries, in many of viii ch, land
and labor are MUCK cheaper than in our
country.
These competing countries are rapidly
introducing improved machinery and
methods Of tillage and their cheap labor
Ia soon able to handle machinery with
skill. Such conditions, combined with
the continually improving facilities for
the transportation Of crops OF these
countries to market, may well awaken
apprehension In the minds OF American
farmers. We cannot control production,
nor regulate the cost thereof In foreign
countries. There Is no profit in sellinglln
the markets Of the world below the cost OF
| production. II we cannot compete with
| the cheaper land and labor In those
markets, we can at least, control our
own markets and produce nearly every
thing needed to supply our own people.
"Why should we buy sugar. wool, etc.,
| from other countries, when we can pro-
duce them at home. The people seem to
have decided in favor of adequate pro-
| teotion to American industries. We can,
therefore. without regard to eur own
personal views consistently deIaand for
1 agriculture a full measure OF the proteo-
tion accorded other industries and we
should aeceptssnothing less.'
| The address condemned the single tax
theory, and said COED selid, sensible,
practical work is needed in the aRrieul-
tural department. and that tEe depart
lment needs the help OF all this farmers,
| b,.S thss theiy confidence must bs secured
before they will venture suggestions, and
demanded the extension of the free mai
