(Seal) WILLIAM MKINLEY.
"By the President: John Sherman, Sec
retary Of State"
The limiting clause restricting the ac-
tion of the extra session 80 such COM
munications as may be made by the
Executive" suggests that possibly tho
President may limit the objects OF the
extra session 10 the passage of the un-
acted upon appropriation bills, and ;he
enactment of a tariff law. the object OF
which in the words of Mr.. McKinley's
inaugural address, will be "to stop de-
ficiencies by the restoration Of that pro-
tective legislation which has always been
the firmest prop Of the Treasury"
President Cleveland when he called an
extra session for the repeal OF the Sher-
man silyer-purchasing law, practically
limited the session TO that one object.

Hunt. a banker Of Eatonton, Ca, passed
through Atlanta, en- route to his Putnam
county home, after a trip to Paris for
treatment for a bite received from cat,
which, he thought, was rabid. Mr..
Hunts trip was a rapid one, and was as
he believed, a race between life and
death. He won the race, and, after a
treatment lasting eighteen days returns
home well and completely out Of danger.
On January 18th, while administering
medicine to a sick cat Mr.. Hunt was
severely bitten. Mr.. Hunt had an idea
that the animal was suffering from hy-
drophobia He watched her closely, and
later in the day she died.
Mr.. Hunt Immediately left for New
York. carrying the cat with him. Ar

rabies.
The treatment was severe. and Mr.. Hunt
suffered a great deal.

his way home a cablegram was received,
stating that the cat had been examined,
and It was demonstrated beyond doubt
that its death had been caused by hy-
drophobia. Some OF the virus was taken
from the cat and injected into rabbits

ARCHITECT FOUND DEAD.
Edward VI. waIlcn, OF New Decn-
tur, AIn,, Passes Away.


NEW YORK, March edward NJ.
Wallen, a prominent architect Of New
Decatur, Ala, was found dead in his
room at the St. Nicholas Hotel at noon
to-day. Heart-disease is supposed to
have caused his death. Proprietor Robin
son. of the St. Nicholas, has telegraphed
TO Mr.. Walen's wife, at New Decatur,
apprising her Of his sudden death.
Wallen was between 40 and 45 years old
He came TO this city on January Ath
last, and had been stopping at the ST.
Nicholas ever since. II is said he was
one OF the most prominent architects In
the South, and that he built nearly all
the large court-houses in that part OF the
country. 1t is understood he came here
to dispose OF a patent for filing court
records. Mr. Robinson said he UNDER
stood that Walen had refused an ofter
of $1,000 to sell his patent few days
ago. and that II was his intention TO form
a company, with 100000 capital.
Mr.. Robinson believes that Mr. Wallen's
Illness and subsequent death were due,
in a measure, to the excitement result
ing from witnessing a prize-fight. He
attended the West-Wolcott contest at the
broadway Athletic Clubs arena on We'd
nesday night, and since then has COM
planned of illness. He did not deem 1t
serious enough, however, TO warrant the
services of a physician, and died without
medical attendance.
