Yesterday afternoon at B O'Clock
there was a private COME renee be-

by Secretary Johns, Chief Engi-
neer Campbell, DIR. Jno. NJ. Yair

the conference was for the purpose
OF adjusting all causes for conflict

THE EXTRA SESSION.
BELIEF THAT 1T WILL MEET
ABOUT THE 18th.
That is the Understanding Had by
Dingley and Others Who Are vi
tally Interested in Knowing the
Facts.

New York, March IA Herald
special from Washington says: One
of President McKinleys first official
acts will be the issuance of a procla-
nation calling the first Fifty-fifth con-
gress to meet in extra session.
While Mr.. Mckinley has not yet
publicly announced the date on which
he will convene the new congress, it is
the understanding of Chairman Ding
ley of the house committee on ways
and means, also other members of
both houses vitality interested in
knowing the date, that it will meet on
Monday, March 10.
The primary purpose of the extra ses-
sion is TO pass the new tariff bill In
his first message to congress, President
Mckinley is expected to devote himself
almost exclusively TO the condition of
the treasury and to the necessity of
speedily enaoting legislation which will
increase the revenues TO meet the eX-
penditures of the government. He will
of course, work in some considerable
talk about protection.
The general expectation among
prominent Republicans is that the
new president will have very little to
say in his first message about none
tary reform, though he may talk in a
general way about international agree
ments and monetary conferences.
AS soon as the committee on ways
and means has been announced, and
in its Republican membership it is ex-
pected to be the same as the present
committee, Chairman Dingley will lay
the tariff bill before it. The Demo-
cratic members will demand time for
the consideration of the blu and the
preparation of the minority report.
but Mr.. Dingley will probably restrict
them to about week. Then the bill
will be reported to the house, and
special order for its consideration will
be adopted.
It is expected that this order will
allow about two weeks for debate.
The house will then pass the bill, and
send it over to the senate, where the
troubles of the tariff bill will begin,
and it might be impossible to pass it at
all, but for the fact that many of the
Democrats and Populists are disposed
to give the Republicans every oppor-
tunity TO carry out their legislative
programme.
The senate will secure the full right
to amend the bill, and it is probab BILE
that this, as were the last three bills,
will be first presented in the senate.
1t is the hope of the Republican lead
ers that the bill may become a law,
and the extra session adjourn by June.

And though she sighs-she's full of

For Love has kissed her eyes and brow,
Her parted lips sing Youths sweet song

She turns her head, with faultless

Her shy glad smile-welcomes one dear.
1,o, she is gone. The fire falls low.
Dark grows the glass; I watch and
