Counter statements were also made

NOLONGER DOUBT
Practically Announced From
Canton Iha: There VIII Be
all EX IA Session.
The Decision Definitely Reached
After Consultation With
Mr. Din@ley.
Mr.. ThurstGn Fixes the Date at
Malch IL, HUt Refuses to
Quote Authority.

WASHINGTON, Dec. There is rrac-
tically no longer any doubt Of the in
tention of President eject Mckinley to
convene the Fifty-tfth congress i'll ex-
traordinary session early next spring.
There were several arrivals of friends
and confiialts of Major Mckinley, di-
rect from G.; nton, who bring the very
positive announcement that "a call for a
special session, to be convened few
days after the 4th of March has been
decided upon. 1t is stated by men in a
position to know, that this decision has
been definitely reached by Mr.. Mckin-
ley since his consultation with Mr..
Dingley, chairman Of the committee on
ways and means, and Mr.. Dingley had
been trusted with the privilege of max.
ing known this intention at the proper
time.
Senator Thurston's Opinion.
Senator Thurston, one of the latest
arrivals from Canton, expressed Ill the
most positive terms the convection that
an extra session will be called. The
senator was one of the earliest and
staunchest supporters of Mr.. Mckinley,
and there is every reason for believing
that his utterance is inspired to de.
gree, though the senator himself de.
clines to say that such is the case.
"All can say" he said, lis that
have very recently seen Major Mckin.
ley, and that am convinced session
of the next congress will be called fol
about the 10Th of March. That ought
to be satisfactory. l cannot quote any.
one, but l do not consider there is any
dou0t on the point"
Shall we have the extra session re.
gardless of the result of the senatorial
elections this winter was asked.
Elected Under Pledge.
Eyes, the complexion Of the senate
will not be allowed to influence the de-
cision at all. The Republican admins
tration has been elected under a pledge
to the people to reform the tariff, ant
its duty to this country is to proceed
about that business at the earliest pos
sible moment, and either to keep it!
pledge or make it manifest that it i!
impossible to do so. think we ough
to secure tariff which could be pu
into effect by the beginning of the mex
fiscal year.
Senator Thurston said he did not con
slider the passage of the Dingley bill a
the short session as probable.

"Do you think the Dingley tariff bill

and inadequate system of ad valorem

NEW YORK, Dec. Ex-senator David

terview him on political matters he

There is nothing to say on the line
of politics. am on my way to Wash

know, and will do the best / can for
