CONGRESS WILL MEET
AS SOON AS SPAIN ACCEPTS
PEACE TERMS.
This Will be Necessary in Order to
Secure Enactment of Laws for an
Adequate Army for Garrison
of the New Territory.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2.-It is as
serted that the President will call an
extra session of Congress as soon as
Spain accepts the terms of peace offer
ed. 1t has always been understood
that the Senate would be convened as
soon as treaty of peace was ready to
be acted upon by that body, but the
attention of the President has been
called to a section which makes the
assembling of the entire Congress nee
eSsary, under the law which provides
for raising a volunteer army. When
the law was framed it was not sup
posed it would be necessary to keep
the army intact at the end of the war.
1t was not seen at the time that gar
rison would be required in the Philip
pines or at Porto Rico by American
possession.
The developments of the war make it
very evident that fully hundred
thousand men will continue to be
needed. IF, however, the volunteer
army be disbanded there will be only
twenty-seven thousand men available
and the aid of Congress is needed to
frame new laws to keep an adequate
army for garrison purposes.

MOSES AS INTERLOCUTOR.
Several Questions to Retiring Agrf-
cultural Commissioner Bailey.
Editors of Sentinel

Editors of Sentinel.
While Mr.. ]. w. Bailey is cavort-
ing before the people of the State with
his feelings of "disgust," why don't
he 60 on and tell all about what he
had done before his feelings became so
much lacerated? We think it due the
Governor as we'll as himself that his
reasons for certain actions should be
made known.
Wasn't it part of your program,
Mr.. Bailey, that you should aid in
muddying the public printing stream
in order that your bosses might be-
come the beneficiaries of your actions?
(Of course you wouldn't think of any
personal benefits. Was it not at the
instance and under the direction OF the
men whom you serve as the hired edi
tor of the paper representing the
greatest denomination in the world,
that you were under obligations to go
around Cooking for trouble, - by in
Producing resolutions for the employ
ment of special attorneys to "adiust
differences" which you as an honest
man had no reason to believe would
ever arise unless they were artificially
produced?
Did the Governor agree to lend you
his influence in your agency as the
tool of others to go around stabbing
at people who have given some of the
best years of their life and profits of
their toll aiding in the support of
yourself and the cause of which you
claim to be the chief exponent? And
was there ever a time in your personal
zeal that the Governor failed to
''lend' you "the weight of his influ-
ence?''
Did you allow yourself-you, the
paragon of all excellence lead the
way in a scheme to accomplish an act
which is SO nearly akin to black-mail
| that it might be mistaken for such an
act on a cloudy day?
Amt you sorter the farther, or
| rather the wet-nurse of ''paternal-
| ism?'' How we weep at your grief
over the fact that you had to serve,
| and get pay, for Sessions of three or
| four days duration, land for no other
| purpose than to introduce resolutions,
the essence of which were directed to
the ultimate benefit of the owners oil
the paper of which you are the hired
| editor? And how naturally you should
become ssdisgusted. You ought to
be ashamed.
Didn't your paper promise, or give
| the Governor reasons to believe that il
would aid him in his political schemes
you holding out that you had the
great Baptist denomination in youl
hip pocket-and haven't you designed
ly stabbed the Democratic party
while you would leave the impression
on the pnblic mind that personally its
ownership was Democratic, and yor
posed as a non-partisan? And while
processing to be non-partisan, haven
you been the most Jealous partisan
and for purpose?
/ Did you profess to be a friend o
the present State administration il
order to get your brother landed al
postmaster at Raleigh, and after yol
reached the fruits of your design il
this particular, don't you turn 'rount
and spit on the people who were goot
enough to place meat and bread il
your mouth?
You have inherited some of the in
tellectual genius of your noble father
pity you could not emulate some @
his many virtues. M. /. STEWART.

MADRID, Aug. IA deep depression

days that the announcement of the
