AN EXTRA SESSION


Washington, D. c., Aug. 1.-The Post
tomorrow will say:
president Mckinley will call an ex-
ira session of both houses of congress
As soon as Spain accepts the terms of
peace offered by the United States. 1t
always has been understood the senate
would be convened as soon as the trea-
ty of peace was ready to be acted upon
by that body. The attention of the
pres ident has been called. hou-e-c-, e.
a situation which makes the assembling
Of the entire congress necessary. This
situation can be explained in a few
words. Under the law which provides
for the raising of a volunteer army, that
army goes out of existence as soon as
war ceases.
when this law was framed it was
not for a moment supposed that after
necessity of keeping the army intact.
The developments of the war make it
very evident that instead of sending
the army back to civil life fully 100, 900
men will continue to be needed. The
present intention is to distribute not
less than so, 1000 soldiers throughout
Cuba. with 10000 in the Philippines
and probably 10000 in Porto Rico. I'm
der the law. as soon as hOstilities cease
the volunteer army is disbanded, and
the regular army goes back to its peace
footing. thus leaving only 81. 900 men in
the service. This is a total far too
small for the work that will be re-
quired. Consequently the aid of con-
gress will be needed to frame new laws
which will keep an adequate army for
garrison purposes.
in addition to this laws nuts be pass
ed to meet the new reuirements of gov
eminent in the Philippines and Porto
Rico.
"The president is naturally adverse
to calling congress together during the
hot weather and it may be decided that
the war is not ended until the senate
passes the ratification of the treaty Of
peace. In this case congress will not
meet until after the first Or middle of
September, as ii will take at least a
month or six weeks for the full details
of the treaty to be discussed and franz
ed.
''The nresent outlook Is. however, for
an extra session at a much earlier per-
iod in the hope that its work can be
concluded before the fall campaign has
reached its height"

What will be the effect of this inter
national committees report, and the
facts brought out respecting the pres
ent prosecution of the Panama enter
prise, upon the Nicaragua project? If
only commercial concerns were in
volved the latter project would
speedily, no doubt, be shelved. but
the Spanish war has given to the
Nicaragua scheme more decidedly
political character than it ever before
enjoyed. The United States is deemed
to be in a position which demands an
Atlantic and Pacific canal of dis
tinctly national ownership. To this
end arises the call for the abrogatlon
OF the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, which
provides that neither Great Britain
nor the United states shall ever as
sert exclusive control over the said Ca
nal in case it is ever built.
But the construction of two canals
across Central America, where only
one would with difficulty find ade-
Quate financial support, would involve
a wantonness of financial waste CO.
lossal even in these days of immense
corporate undertakings prosecuted to
a needless and reckless extent of COM
petition.
