POLICY TO be ADOPTED.


Some Favor an Extra Session and
Some Oppose 1t.
There is manifestly an intense interest
on the part of the members Of the two
houses of Congress assembling as to the
policy to be adopted for this winter These
who are in favor of immediate action on
important questions appear to be largely
in the minority, but among those who
take a different position there are many
who simply feel that nothing can be done
and who are subject to change Of posi-
ton. Alertness is shown in every act and
expression Of the republicans.
They seem eager for the command which
is to decide their action. 1t Is evident that
there is sufncient difference of opinion
among them TO render a caucus at an early
day desirable. Some strong men have
extremely positive, convic tions on one side
or the other and there is some evidence
of friction.
An Extra Session.
Those who want action at this session
are generally very positive in their posi-
ton, and insist that it will be ruinous to
permit the new administration to come in
without any steps having been taken for
its protection. There is likely to be an
earnest. though perhaps amiable. contro-
versy over the question Of an extra ses-
sion Of the next Congress. Certain forces.
it is said, will be exerted to the utmost to
secure the adoption of such a policy as
will render an extra session unnecessary.
This will be earnestly combatted by some
of those understood to be closest to Major
Mckinley. 1t Is no longer matter of
doubt lat Major Mckinley Is determined
upon an extra session about the middle of
March, and that anything intended to in
terfere with that program will be opposed
by his particular friends in Congress.
What Mr.. GrOsvenOr Says.
Representative Grosvenor said today that
if any adjustment Of the tariff and finan-
cial question was attempted by the Sen
ate at this session, with the view of pre-
venting an extra session, it would not
work. He said that there was bound to be
an extra session, no matter what was at
tempted at this session. He did not think
that a proposition to render the Dingley
bill acceptable to Mr.. Cleveland and to
the geld democrats 10y adding a provision
for the retirement of the greenbacks would
be agreed to by the House
mo retirement of the greenbacks can be
had, he said, without going generally in
to the financial question. We cannot have
a contraction of the currency. One of our
arguments against silver was that it would
drive out the greenbacks and contract the
currency. If the greenbacks are retired it
must be in connection with other legisla-
ton which will provide sufficient currency
1 have no doubt Mr.. Cleveland again
recommends the retirement of greenbacks,
but his recommendation will not be acted
upon."

AGAINST THE LIBRARY.
Objections to It's Use for the Inauru
- ration.

Objections to It's Use for the Inaugu-
- ration. . ~
There is a strong feeling of opposition in
the joint committee Of Congress on the
Library to the proposal to hold the inaugu-
ration ball in the new Congressional
Library building. The opposition to the
plan is based mainly upon two grounds
1t is held that the building in the first place
is not adapted to the entertainment of
such crowd as would attend an inaugura-
ton ball. The two entrances to the ro.
tunda. where the largest throng would
conSregate, are very small and would not
enable a great crowd to be handled either
with dispatch or safety. 1t Is also claimed
that there would be danger of the serious
DETACHMENT of the building in the process
sion of such a crowd through the various
corridors and rooms. The decorat tions
which have been placed on the interior
would be easily defaced, and 1t is suggest
ed that 1t would be almost impossible. even
with more care than could be expected Of
the visitors. to prevent 1t. This feeling
among the members Of the committee has
not yet taken tangible form In any express
sion. but the matter will probably come
UP for consideration at an early date.
