Forecast of Legislature.

The election of a United States Sen
ator is undoubtedly the feature of this
extra session of the Legislature but
the call was net issued primarily for
that purpose. After the excitement in

consider a few matters which are IN
cluded in the call.
1t will be remembered that the Gov
ernor was induced to call the extra
session only after the citizens of Mem
phis had held mass-meetings and sent
delegates to the Capitol urging the
necessity of immediate improvement

MONTGOMERY, ALA.-(Special.)-
There appears to be no doubt that NJ.
w. Howard, the picturesque, dramatic,
loud-yoiced Congressman from the
Seventh Alabama District, is slated to
be the nominee for Governor of the
Middle-of-the-Road Populists in the
campaign next summer.
Mr. Howard is said to aspire to the
nomination and nobody else wants it.
Populism appears to have well nigh
exhausted itself in Alabama, the only
quarter in which there is evident the
slightest interest in the party being in
one or two of the counties in M, How

WAR PREPARATIONS AT
 THE ESQUIMALT STATION
Six Warships to Be Added to Great Britain's North Pacific
 SQuadron

VANCOUVER, Aug. 15.-Great Brit ain is evidently not going to be behind hand in the matter of preparations for possible trouble with Russia in the East. Some days ago it was reported in The Call-and the report was not de- nied-that the Canadian Pacific Rail- road steamships Tartar and Athenian were being held here for the purpose of carrying large bodies of troops to the Orient. Now, according to an of ticer on the flagship Imperieuse, at present in the harbor, six British war ships will be added to the North Pa clfc squadron, and will be on the coast in a short time. The officer said this fact was very significant, in view of Russia's hostile front in the East.
 = The addition of these vessels to the coast fleet is entirely unexpected. Word was received. it is understood, just prior to the Imperieuse's departure from Esquimalt, and when 1t leaked ..out 1t caused no little excitement among the men.
 :: Coming on the top of these very bus ,lnesSllke preparations is the report brought from Montreal by an ex-em- pl0ye of the Canadian Pacific Railroad shops there, to the effect that double staffs of men are working over time in order to rush the work on a large num- . Der of especially planned troop cars now under construction. It is well , known that in case of trouble in the . East thousands of troops would be sent out to the coast over the Canadian Pa cific Railroad. and Great Britain is evi- dently leaving no loopholes in case of emergency.
 The tars on the Imperieuse look for ward to clash with Russia with feel ings of unmiXed joy.
