TO AID THE GOLD BUGS.
The President May Call a Special
Session of COnrrena


New York, Dec 1.-The principal fea-
ture of the monthly meeting of the Cham
Der of Commerce this afternoon was the
presence of Fl. H. Hanna, chairman of
the executive committee of the Indian
| apolis monetary conference. Mr.. Hanna
arrived from Washington yesterday, and
by invitation of Alexander E. Orr, presi-
dent of the Chamber. made a short ad-
dress before the Chamber outlining the
work the committe of the convention has
done, and indicating the work yet to be
done. The meeting was well attended,
and Mr.. Hanna was warmly applauded
as he rose to speak.
Although Mr.. Hanna made no reference
to the subject in his address, it was
learned that President Mckinley has
under consideration the calling of spe-
cial session of Congress on March 4, for
the purpose Of considering monetary leg
islation favorable to the gold standard
The President has taken up this consider
alton of the subject at the request of the
Indianapolis convention. and the execu-
tive committee OF the convention has al
ready invited the representatives of the
various commercial bodies throughout the
United States to forward to Mr.. McKin-
ley their several requests that the extra
session be called for the purpose named
1t is understood that the response to the
circular of the convention asking for
these meetings throughout the country
has been unanimously favorable, and
that the sections represented indicate a
general sentiment in favor of such ses-
sion.
Mr.. Hanna's speech was short, and
dealt principally with the work done by
the executive committee since the meet
ing OF the convention in It's work of prop
agating gold standard ideas in all the
States.
In conclusion, Mr.. Hanna said that day
before yesterday the President had said
to him. when asked for a message that
he might carry to the people Interested
in the work: You can say that / stand
thoroughly for monetary legislation. and
that every pledge the Republican party
mas made along that line will be carried
out"
J. Harsen Rhoades made short speech
urging that every support be given to
Mr.. Hanna and his associates in the work
they were trying to do.

Algerian and other Leakage

A hint has been conveyed to The
Times. in roundabout way, that the
people in the commanding generals Of
flee are spending great deal of un-
necessary time in cunning about for
some unknown person who is supposed
to be furnishing the public with infor-
nation concerning the dark secrets of
Algerism.
Perhaps it is just as well to state
that the remote and inconsidered quar-
ters referred to constitute about the
last place in the edifice for Algerlogical
exploration. The office was suppressed
and practically demolished early in the
war, along with the inspection shop of
General Breckenridge. We are not in
for things that others are constantly eX-
cavating from modern plants with the
aid of spiritual or metallic arguments.
1t is therefore to be hoped that no
poor devil of clerk or laborer in Gem
eral Miles's end of the Department is to
be suspected or prosecuted for leakages
which it would be fooiishness to think
emanated from thence. If there is any
one fact more notorious than another in
Washington, it is that there is a market
price for copies of every scrap of paper
contained within the architectural hor-
ror known as the State, War and Navy
building. OF course exceptions must be
made in cases of suppressed or conceal
ed documents, withdrawn from the files
and kept in private strong boxes, or car
ried around in hats, but in general
way the document brokers are not
much hampered.
If The Times could conscientiously
have INDUCED taste for quaint his
torical manuscript, It might have ac-
quired whole library of Algeriana, and
other matter to devise to the Library
of Congress or the National Museum.

Three more regular warships have been

sent to the bottom by Dewey's gunners or

too badly damaged to be of use hereafter.
The Navy Department has received dis
patch from Admiral Dewey, dated Manila,

thoroughly. Constructor Gapps, who was
sent from the Mare Island navy yard for
the purpose, superintended the raising of

ADMIRAL scHLEY's REPORTS.
= TsFttf a 4
Two of Them Unearthcd mt n Con-
venfent Season.


The Navy Department has discovered in
its files two reports from Admiral Schley,
covering the movement of his flying
squadron for the period when 1t was in
dependent of Rear Admiral SIMPSONS S
command. Until the reports were brought
to light the officers of the bureau OF navi-
CATION assumed that Scbley had not
transmitted any communication relating
to the history of the flying squadron.
The department, its officials assert, was
very anxious to have these reports at
hand when 1t gave publicity to the report
of Sampson, containing a story of
Schey's alleged departure from the south
coast of Cuba for Key West after he had
been told that Cervera's feet was in San
tiago harbor.
\ search was ordered of the files of the
bureau of navigation, but the bureau re-
ported to Secretary Long that no report
could be found covering the operations of
the flying squadron" in the vicinity of
Santiago. More recently Secretary Long
directed that another search be made, but
this was likewise unsuccessful. Still more
recently, significantly since the Secre-
tary's report was published. although this
cannot be said definitely, as naval officers
are reticent on the subject, the two re-
ports mentioned have. been brought to
light.

The Missouri Ginntes-.
(From TRUTH

A Missouri orator of national fame once referred
to the resources OF Missouri, and as fitting
climax defed the world to produce anything tall
enough to "look down" upon Missouri's daugh-
ter, Ella Kate Ewing, whose gigantic proportions
the wonder of all who contemplate them.
Scientists have produced theories to the effect
that there is limit to the human growth. This
is admitted in the general sense, but Miss Ewing S
proportions dispute the theory that eight feet
in height is the growth limit OF the human
family.
Miss Ewing was born twenty-f years ago in
a farm house five miles west of La Grange, Mo.
What caused the development of colossal proper
tions to such degree in the person Of Miss
Ewing is inexplicable, since her weight at birth
than the average infant, but at sixteen years Of
age her height was eight feet and four inches
and her weight two hundred and ffty-six pounds,
which remain-with slight variance-the same to-
