a nominal sum. Yet some OF the Viz
ginIa papers for the purpose Of scoring
a point against the gold bugs" have
advertised II far and wide that valuable
property in Petersburg, costing $4,000
originally. was sold at public auction for
5000. thus showing, as they alleged how
values had declined under the gold stand

NO EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS.
No Special Legislation Necessary TO
Hold Volunteer Army Together

WASHINGTON. August 2.-There win
bc no extra session Of Congress. though
the Senate will have to be called together
for prompt ratification of the treaty OF
peace. IL the present plans Of the Presi-
dent prevail. II Is stated at the White
House that unless there should be some
extraordinary development, the House VIII
not meet until it convenes in regular ses-
sion next December.
This statement, made on the authority
of the President himself, In answer 10
personal inquiries. is in contradiction 30
reports current among public men that
Congress will soon meet to draft legisla-
ton TO meet the demands that win follow
the close Of the war, as well as give for
NAL assent on the part Of the Senate to
the treaty.
The military occupation Of the terrific
rial possessions Of the government Will In
no wise necessitate further legislation
specially authorizing the continuance OF
large military force, according to the
view Of the President.
NO SPECIAL LEGISLATION NEEDfsD'
Persons who conferred with the Presi-
dent to-day positively assert that there
IS no necessity for special legislation 10
authorize the keeping together OK the
great army Of volunteers.
The President, 1t is understood, taxes
the ground that the requirement in the
volunteer act for dlsbandment of volun-
teers on the termination Of war does not
contemplate dlsbandment until the emer-
gencies that are incident to this war are
over, and does not prevent the mainten-
ance of large body of troops in our ter
ritorial accessions until peace is restored.
A well-known public man, who was IN
conference with the President, suggested
that the necessary military occupation OF
our conquered territory would involve the
maintenance for two years Of an army OF
about 100000 men.

WASHINGTON, August SHORTY be-
fore midnight Secretary Alger, as he left
the White House, after a conference with
the President, said the administration had
received no official information that the
Madrid Government had accepted the
terms of peace proposed by the United
states.
Unoficially the President has been in
formed that the Spanish Ministry has ac-
ceded 10 the terms OF this country for
cessation OF the war. The unofficial ad-
vices have reached the President in the
form. not only Of press dispatches. but of
private dispatches from, confidential
agents OF the United States Government.
While this government has strong rea-
sons for believing that its terms OF peace
have been agreed TO by the Madrid Gov
ernment the President is taking nothing
for granted. Arrangements for pressing
the war TO a successful conclusion are
going forward precisely as II no negotia-
tions for peace were in progress.

CABINET MEETING UNEvENTFUL.
Members Strongly of Opinion That
Peace L. at Hand.

WASHINGTON, August 2.-The Cabinet
session to-day, which had promised to be
important. in view of the pending peace
propositions. proved to be uneventful. 1t
occupied an hour and ten minutes, but
roost OF the time was devoted to a state
ment. subsequently given to the press,
briefly summarizing the terms OF peace.
Aside from the discussion Of this state
ment, which was carefully drawn and
scrutinized line by line by the members
OF the Cabinet, with unusual precaution,
for diplomatic reasons, the meeting was
devoted largely to talking over minor war
details.
The informal exchange OF views OF IN
dlvidual members during the meeting In
dicated a strong belief In peace though
no word of any kind had yet come from
the Spanish Government. One member of
the Cabinet, after the meeting, said he
expected the Spanish reply would be
made to this government some day this
week, but that when peace could be made
operative Is problematical. and might re-
quire two months or more. The session
was marked by an absence Of news from
the front in any direction.
