One Will Be Called Within 20
Days After the 18th Of
March.
The Information Is Published by
the New York Mail and
Express.
According to Senatorial Inter.
views Little Will Be Done
at This Session.

New YORK, Nov. 24.-The Mail and
Express says: There is going to be an
extra session Of congress called within
20 days after the Inauguration of Presi.
dent-elect Mckinley. This informa.
tion comes from Canton in a most posi-
tive and direct way. and its reliability
cannot be questioned. It is the opinion
OF the president-elect that no revenue
legislation can be accomplished this
winter, and though newspaper dis
patches disagree regarding his attitude
toward the present agitation for the
Dingley bill, there is substantial
authority for the statement that Major
Mckinley is ayerse to raising expecta-
lions as to its enactment which, in his
Judgment, cannot be realized. He fears
that the business community would be-
come demoralized should the bill be
passed in the house again, only to be
laid aside by the senate, and he does
not share Senator Sherman's opinion
that the measure can pass the senate
before the reorganization Of that body
on March 1

Little Else Expected at This Session, Ac.
corling to Senatorial Interviews.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-Members Of
the senate are coming to Washington
each day and from interviews with each
of the arrivals it is apparent that the
senators expect little save routine leg
islation, including the passage Of the
annual appropriation bills, at the short
session Of congress Senators Cockrell
Of Missouri and Hawley Of Connecticut,
both gave expression to this opinion,
and both likewise agreed in the opinion
that nothing may be expected at the
coming session in the way of helping
along an international bimetalllc con-
ference. Senator Hawley did not be-
ieve the Dingley bill would be enacted
into law, adding ''the Dingley bill is
Confessedly q Mere Nakesh:ft,
with all the defects incident to hori-
zcItal increase Or decrease of duties
If it should be passed as it is, it seems
to me it would be the duty Of the pres
ident to assemble congress as soon as
possible after the 4th of March, for a
diigent consideration and a revision Of
the whole tariff, in considerate and
conservative spirit, to the end that a
bill might be passed that would stand
the test of years, subject, Of course, to
an occasional correction, where new in
ventions and changes in trade may de-
mand it. It is to be remembered also
that the Dingley bill expires by its own
limitation in August, 1898, and it is
impossible to evade the question ; there
fore the more speedily action is taken.
the better.''

San FRANCISCO, Nov. 24.-TLe in.
Tentor of the mysterious airship which
has been puzzing local scientists and
others for the past week, is believed to
be one "Dr. E. 81. Benjamin" an al
legged dentist, who occupied rooms in
an Ellis street lodging house for the
past two years, but, so far, he has sue
cessfully evaded all attempts to dis
cover his identity. His attorney, Col
Inns, when seen and pressed to tell more
about the machine and its inventor,
said:
This morning the inventor came to
my Office III the Croker building, and
told me he had tested the merits Of the
ship in last nights storm, with the
greatest success. The wind currents

Gate, skirting the Cliff house and re-
turning by the same route across the

fully 10 minutes, and played his search
light On the seals themselves. His in
tention is to make another trip in the
evening, probably over the same route,
running out as far as Sacramento.
i dispatch was received from Sacra-

people there had again seen the mystic

no one has been able to see the object

Mr.. Breidenthal explained the scheme
to reporter. The main idea is in car
ing for the thousands of unemployed.
''It is believed" said Mr. Breidenthal,
THAT a plan of organization involving
both production and distribution, where
labor is given employmen at the usual
wages. and capital is similarly employed,
the profits being shared between both,
and where labor is given the opportu-
nifty to apply its surplus earnings in
Sinai moHInly payments 1Or nome,
will, if put in operation, result in q few
years in prosperous, contented and
happy community Of home owners,
employing themselves and owning their
own industries, free from debt Or other
incumbrance, it being understood the
plan proposed viii embrace the idea of
resident members ultimately absorbing
the entire capital tits expected that a
central company viii own the land and
conduct all industries and business of
the community, but this company
would ultimately consist of members of
the community only. I believe the
plan is feasible, and there is no doubt
in my mind that it will be carried out
successfully. The plan offers opportu-
mites to class who have no opportuni'
ties elsewhere.

UNDERGROUND RAILWAYS.

Charters For Two New Lines in London
VIII BE Granted by Parliament.
LONDON, Nov. PA meeting Of the
Metropolitan District Railway stock.
holders association was held here in
furtherance OF the project for con-
structing two deep level tunnels for an
up and down service of express electric
trains between Earlscourt and Mansion
House. The stockholders have endorsed
the action Of their directors i'll approx
ing the scheme, and the necessary
powers will be asked fer at the coming
session Of parliament. That they will
be granted is foregone conclusion.
Parliament has already sanctioned
sig metropolitan underground projects
and two will besanctioned at the forth
coming session. There are still others
in the air, all electrical Most of these
lines are planned to rectify the extraoT-
binary want of foresight which prac-
tically forbade the terminals of the
great railways to advance beyond what
were, in the days Of their building, the
. suburbs Of London. The result has
ever since been that the traveller con.
sumes as much time in getting from
one great terminus to another ON the
other side of the metropolis, as would
suffice to carry him 80 miles On his
| journey.
All Of the new lines are, of necessity,
buried far below the street level. In
some cases the arrival and departure
! platform Of stations are 90 feet below
| the sidewalk, while the lines descend
sti l .ower in many places, diving under
! great sewers and other underground
| tunnels, abutments of Thames bridges
| and entertainments, and under the
| Thames itself.
The tunnels thus consists of iron
tubes. These tunnels are constructed
| at the rate of IL feet per day.
Passengers are conveyed from the
! world below to the world above by by.
| draulic lifts
The speed is to be ii miles an hour
! including stops. The service is to be a
train every two and half minutes
and the capacity of the lines per annum
! is 81, OGO, 900 passengers.

THE ATTORNEYS STORY.

Ship Not Deceived.

People Who Thought They Saw An Air
Ship Not Deceived.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 24-The Chron-
icle prints a story which would indi-
cate that the airship in practical form is
all established fact. According TO the
story residents Of Sacramento saw a
cigar-shaped flying machine pass over
that city Monday night and later the
alrship was seen at Oakland. The
Chronicle then prints all interview
with George D. Collins, reputable at
torney of San Francisco and who claims
to be attorney for the inventor, in
which he says:
1.-The reports from Sacramento the
other night were true. It was my
clients airship that the people saw. 1t
started from Orovlle and few 60 miles in
q straight line directly over Sacramento.
After running up and down once OF
twice over the capital my friend came
right on a distance Of another 20 miles
and landed at a. spot on the Oakland
side of the bay, where the machine
low lies, guarded by three men. The
inventor found during his trial trip
that his ship had a wavelike motion
That Made Him Seasick.
IN another six days this trouble will be
done away with and it is then his in
tention to Immediately give the people
of San Francisco q chance to see his
machine. He will fly right over the
city and across Market street dozen
times. cannot tell you any further
particulars than that the machine does
its work perfectly and will astound the
world and revolutionize travel when it
has been displayed before the public.
The inventor can fly with it to New
York tomorrow if he wants to. He has
forsaken the ideas of Maxim and Lang
try entirely in building the machine
and has constructed it on an absolutely
new theory"
In spite of Mr. Collins statement
there are many skeptics who say fatty
they do not believe the story. It is al
most incredible that an airship $50 feet
long could be secreted in any building
near San Francisco without the fact
being made public.
