available during the week, and will
start south with Capt. Lambertson on

THE EXTRA SESSION,
The Probable Programme of the
New Administration.
CONGRESS LIKELY TO MEET MARCH IS.
II is Hoped that the New Tariff Bill Win
be Enacted and adjournment Made
Possible by the Beginning
Of June.
New YORK, March IA Herald spe.

New YORK, March IA Herald spe-
cial from Washington says:
One of President McKinley's first of
fetal acts will be the issuance of n
proclamation calling the Fifty-ffth
congress to meet in extra session.
While Mr.. Mckinley has not yet pub
liclv announced the date ON which he
will convene the new congress, it is the
understanding of Chairman Dingley of
the house committee on ways and
means, and of other members of both
houses vitality interested in knowing
the date, that it will meet on Monday,
March Is.
The primary purpose of the extra
session is to pass the new tariff bill.
In his first message to congress Presi-
dent Mckinley is expected to devote
himself almost exclusively to the CON
dition of the treasury, and to the ne
cessity OF speedily enacting legislation
which will increase the revenues to
meet the expenditures of the govern
ment He will, of course, work in con-
siderable 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 monetary reform, though
he may talk in general way about in
ternational agreements and moneta
conferences.
As soon as the committee on ways and
means has been announced, and in its
republican membership it is expected to
be the same as the present committee,
Chairman Dingley will lay the tariff bill
before it, The democratic members will
demand time for the consideration
of the bill, and the preparation of
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 con-
sderation will be adopted.
1t 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 dis
posed to give the republicans every OPP
portunity to carry out their legislative
programme. The senate will exercise
to the full, its right to amend the bill,
and it is probable that this, as were the
last three tariff bills, will be practical
ly made by the senate. 1t is the hope
Of the republican leaders that the bill
may become law and the extra ses-
sion adjourn by June.

dress and does not expect to
touch 1t again. The document will
be somewhat shorter than his
letter of acceptance. The Cuban ques-
ton will doubtless be touched upon
lightly and left for future considera-
ton as circumstances may dictate,
Maj. Mckinley will not be iingo in
his foreign policy, but he will see that
the rights of American citizens are
firmly protected.
There is little or no cabinet gossip
heard in Canton. The last place in the
cabinet will not be filled until Mai.
Mckinley reaches Washington, and it
is not improbable that selection will
not be made before midnight Wednes-
day. 1t is thought that if New York
does not get the portfolio it will go to
Pennsylvania.

BY AN AVALANCHE.


DShlEOg cue
BERNE, March 1.-The left wing of
the great monastery of the st. Bernard
has been demolished by an avalanche.
Fortunately no lives were lost nor was
anyone seriously injured, but the
monks occupying the monastery were
in serious danger for some time
before their safety was assured. When
the great masses of snow and ice
descended upon the building the oc-
cupants took refuge in the part of the
building which remained intact, and
from there were able to dig a tunnel
under the snow, through which they
crawled. Most of them were severely
frostbitten.
