Struck by Express Train.

A fatal accident on the Barre transfer
last week Thursday noon, resulted
in the death of Phillip A. Derochl. The
victim of the accident was coming down
from Barre on the suburban train and
wanted to get off at the transfer ana
visit some friends in the vicinity. AS he
stepped off thesurburban train he failed to
notice the express approaching on the
Wells River railroad. Before heengineer
could stop the train Derochi was struck
and thrown several feet. When he was
picked up it was found that he was dead,
his head being crushed in and otherwise
horribly mangled The body was taken
to the undertaking rooms of Johonnott
& Hall and the friends of the dead man
telegraphed for. 1t was learned that his
home was in Chambly, p. O., and that
for some time he has been working for
farmer in Worcester. No blame is at
tached to the engineer OF the Wells River
express or any other railroad employe
and the cause of the accident is thought
to be due to the carelessness of the victim.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Extra Session of Congress is Now
Well Under Way.
Hay Continue Well into the Summer Some
New England Appointments 7ade and to
Be 1ade.
Especial to the CALIFORNIAN.

The extra session OF the Fifty-ffta
congress is well under way, and it prom
ises TO prolong its existence far into the
summer. The plan Of the Republican
leaders is very simple, and as follows
They propose simply to enact remedial
tariff legislation, then pass the four
regular appropriation bills which failed
In the closing hours OF the last congress,
and adjourn.
The new tariff bill is already drawn up,
has been referred to the ways and means
committee. and by that committee has
been reported back to the house. which
body is now debating it. The plans as
at present constituted provide that de-
bate shall close on March q, a vote
taken and the bill hurried to the senate,
where the hitch will come on its enact
ment, if any is 10 come.
The bill will pass the house substan-
TALLY as 1t came from the committee.
The idea is TO permit no amendments to
be adopted in the house, allowing the re-
sponsbility OF altering its purpose to fall
upon the senate. 1t will be remembered
that in the present tariff law, the uppeI
branch amended the bill so much that
instead of being called the Wilson bill,
as II originally was named in the house,
after ii had emanated from the senate,
with its identification almost beyond
hope, it was known as the Wilson Cor
man act, Senator German having had
much to do with the changes affected by
the senate.
The bill will probably require two
months debate in the senate. While
that is going on the house will doubt
less take up the four appropriation bills
the sundry civil, general deficiency
agricultural and the Indian. Possibly
some attention may be given also to
changing the present rules Of the house,
although this attempt viii meet with
failure. Considerable agitation will be
made however, for a revision of some
Of the rules now in vogue.
After the passage Of the tariff bill by
the senate, Of course some matters OF
difference between the two houses will
be adjusted in conference, and then the
bill will be before the president, prob
ably shortly before July /. While he is
considering It's provisions, the senate
will take up the appropriation bills, and
by the time Mr., Mckinley has signed the
tariff bill, the senate will be through
with the appropriation bills, and adj
journment of the extra session will fol-
low almost as matter of course, as it is
plainly the intention Of the Republican
leaders here not to attempt any general
legislation at the extra session. putting
II all off until the regular session of the
Fifty-iifth congress, next December.
1t is even limited that Speaker Reed
Will not appoint any of the standing
committees of the house until the regu-
lar December session. This would, of
course, preclude any prospect of gen.
eral lawmaking at the present extraor-
binary session.

The people Of Vermont are very much
interested in one provision of the sundrv
civil appropriation bin which failed TO
pass in the last hours Of the Fifty-fourt
congress 1t is as follows
Sections 2525 and 1926 of the revised
statues are hereby amended to read as
follows:
Section 2525-On and after October /.
1891 there shall be in the state of Yer
mont two collection districts. as follows:
Frst-The district of Vermont to com
prise tho counties now constituting the
First congressional district of Vermont.
OF which district Burlington shall be the
port of entry, and ST. Adams, Alburg.
East Alburg, Swanton, Highgate, Frank
lin, West Berkshire, Windmill Point and
Richford, SUPPORTS of entry.
Second-The district of Memphrema-
cog to comprise the counties now con-
stituting the Second congressional dis
trict of Vermont, in which district New
port Shall be the port of entry, and North
Troy, Derylne, Island Pond, Canaan and
Beecher Falls, supports Of entry.
Section 2526-rhcre shall be in The dis
trict Of Vermont a collector, who shall
reside in Burlington, and whose salary
shall be $1,000 per aunum, and I'm the dis
lllCl Oh NllIliAaEog collector who
shall reside in Newport, and Sc sal
AIRY shall be $1,000 per annum; and pro-
vided further, that the privileges Of the
first section OF the act approved June
10, 1880, governing the immediate trans
portation OF dutiable merchandise, with
out appra cement are hereby extended
10 each of the several ports in the two
districts provided for herein, and to the
supports OF ST. Adams, Richford, Island
Pond and Bcecher Falls.
This proposed legislation is the form
of senate amendment to the sundry
civil bill. and was inserted at the re-
quest of Senators Morrill, and Proctor
OF course ii is not law yet, as the bill
as not been agreed upon in conference
between the two houses, after which
agreement it must be signed by the pres.
ident. This provision, however is not
one OF the bones of contention between
the house and senate, and there Is
therefore, little doubt but what il viii
ultimately become law.

One New England appointment which
has been settled is the selection of Rev.
DR. Samuel l.. Gracey, D. D., of Lynn.
Mass, who has been slated for reap
rointment as United States consul at
Foo Chow, China, place which he he1d
under President benjamin Harrison. Dr..
Gracey had a most formidable endorse.
nent, and is one Of the fortunate an.
plicants for restoration under the Nc
Kinlcy regime.
Dr. Gracey was born in Philadelphia,
was educated in the public schools OF
that city, and after some years in bust.
ness In wholesale importing house,
which training fitted him for enlarged
usefulness in later life, he entered the
theological school Of what is now the
Boston university and in 1857 was ad
mitted to the ministry Of the Methodist
Episcopal church. The degree of d. D.
was conferred upon him by the Illinois
Wesleyan university in 1855.
He filled important positions in the
church until the breaking out Of the war
when he engaged actively in the enlist.
ment Of troops, preaching and deliver.
ing patriotic sermons and addresse,
nearly every day in the week. After q
large part Of the male members Of hi,
church had gone into the army, he him
self enlisted as a private in a Pennsyl
vania regiment and in a few month,
thereafter was transferred to the chan
laincy Of the Sixth Pennsylvania cav
airy, better known In the Army OF tn,
Potomac as "Rush's Lancers."

WOLCOTT'S MISSION.

Prominent Bimetallists Believe He Has
Done Good Work in Europe.
A recent London dispatch published
in the Salt Lake Tribune says:
Several prominent bimetallists whom
Senator Edward O. Wolcott of Colorado
saw here previous to his departure are
convinced that he has done splendid
work in Europe. Among those who con
ferred with Senator Wolcott was L. j.
Maxse, editor of the National Review.
Mr.. Maxse occupies high literary and
social position here, is on terms of init
macy with the government leaders, and
was in America during the recent polit-
ical campaign. Replying to the request
of the Associated Press, Mr.. Maxse
writes:
81 have great difficulty in making any
statement on the bimetallic situation in
Europe. Not because it is discouraging,
but for the opposite reason. If l gave
my real impression of the result of Sen
ator Wolcott's mission, which was con-
Quoted with great tact and ability, I
should be accused of unwarrantable op-
timism. There has, in truth, been great
change of opinion in trading and com
mercial nations of Europe, during the
last two years, though this is but family
reflected by the press. ! am convinced
that if the incoming administration fol
lows Senator Wolcott's inquiries with
purpose and determination, a satisfactory
international solution of the monetary
question will make McKinley's presi-
dency not less famous than any of its
predecessors. Europe looks to him for
the next move. John Bull does not
block the Way,"

THE PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION.

The Washington correspondent of the
st. Louis Globe-D Democrat tells why Mr..
Cleveland did not attend the funeral vi
Vice President Hendricks, an omission
that provoked considerable criticism at
the time, and is said never to have been
forgiven by the widow of the deceased
statesman. The story exposes serious
infirmity that formerly existed in the
law governing the succession to the pres
idency.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Hen
bricks died early in the first term of
President Cleveland between the disso
luton of one congress and the regular
session Of the next. The law then was
that in the event of the death or incapac
ity of both the president and vice presi-
dent, the president pro tenn of the senate
should perform the duties of the presi-
dent, or in the absence of such an officer,
the speaker of the house, until congress
could be convened and special election
held.
During his incumbency of the the vice
presidency, Mr.. Hendricks had refused
to vacate the chair so as to permit the
election of a president pro tenn. for the
reason that the republicans had a major
ity in the senate. At the same time there
was no speaker of the House. If, then,
President Cleveland lost his life, the
country would have been without chief
magistrate, and there would have been
no one to convene congress in extraordi-
nary session for the purpose of ordering
special election.
This condition of things attracted the
attention of Hon. George F. Edmunds,
then United States senator. After q hnr
ried consultation with another senator,
who happened to be at the capital during
vacation, he hastened to the White House.
There he found President Cleveland
completing the preparations for his de-
parture for indianapolis to attend the fu-
neral Mr.. Edmunds urged him not to go,
and explained that if anything happened
to him the government would be without
a head for months Mr.. Cleveland real
lied the danger, and countermanded the
order for transportation.
Atthe next session of congress, Sena-
tor Edmunds prepared and procured the
passage Of an act which provided against
all supposable emergencies. If both the
president and vice president die, the sec
retary of state succeeds and is acting
president until congress convenes and a
special election can be held. The sue
cession falls in turn to all the members
of the cabinet in an order that the law
establishes. But the facts stated must
acquit Mr. Cleveland of any disrespect to
the memory of Thomas A. Hendricks
