EXTRA SESSION NECESSARY.
Congress Will He Called Together As
Soon As Spain Accepts Peace.

Washington, August 2,-The Post
says;
president Mckinley will call an
extra session Of both houses Of con-
gress as soon as Spain accepts the
terms Of peace offered by the United
States,
ut has always been understood
that the senate would be convened us
soon as the treaty Of peace was ready
to be acted upon by that body, The
attention Of the president has been
called, however, to situation which
makes the assembling of the entire
congress necessary, This situation
can be explained in few words.
"Under the law which provides for
the raising of the volunteer army,
that army goes out of existence as
soon as the war ceases.
"When this law was framed, 1t was
not for moment supposed that
after the war had ended, there would
be any 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 100000 men will continue to be
needed, II is the present intention
to distribute no less than $4,000 sol-
diers throughout Cuba, with 10000 in
the Philippines and probably 10000
In Porto Rico.
"Under the law, as soon as HOSTILE
ties cease. the volunteer army is dis
banded, and the regular army goes
back to its peace footing, thus leay-
ing only $1,000 men in the service.
This Is n total far too small for the
work that will be required Conse-
quently, the aid Of congress will be
needed to frame new laws which will
keep an adequate army for garrison
purposes
"1n addition to this, laws must be
passed to meet the new requirements
of government in the Philippines and
Porto Rico.
"rhe president is naturally averse
to calling congress together during
the hot weather, and it may he de-
clded that the war is not ended until
the senate has ratified the treaty OF
peace. In this case, congress will not
meet until the first or middle OF Sep
TENDER, as it will take at least a
month or six weeks for the full de-
tails of the treaty to be discussed and
framed. The present outlook is, how
ever, for an extra session at much
earlier period, in the hope that its
work can he concluded before the fall
campaign has reached its height"

More Troops for the philippines.

San Francisco, Cal, August ut
was officially given out at army head
quarters Monday that another feet
OF transports would sail next Thurs
day. The steamers Laikme and
Charles Nelson will carry the troops
for Honolulu and the Tacoma, towed
by the tug Iroquois, will sail for Ma
Mia with horses and mules.
The transport Arizona will sail
next Monday or Tuesday, at the la
test, carrying the Seventh California
regiment. The Scandal will sail q
week from next Thursday and will
carry the recruits for the various
regiments.
1t is now definitely settled that
Brigadier General King will COM
mand the next expedition. He will
probably GO on the Scandal and act
as head of that ship, as well as COM
manding the expedition.
All Of the troops here and In the

RUNNING THE FAST EXPRESS.
The Train Dispatcher Has More to
Do With Il Than the Engineer.

The eyes of the engineer are on the
clock and timetable before him, and
he keeps a sharp lookout ahead. For
various reasons he may fall few min
utes behindhand at one point, but he
manages to make up the loss at another.
He has certain stops to make, and he
makes all speed possible between them.
But he is not master of the road. AT
any moment danger signal along the
line may confront him. He asks no
questions, but obeys orders. Five min
utes later special may rush past him
and then the signals are set again.
warning the engineer of the express that
he must make up for lost time.
To understand this delay, and the
sudden changes made in the time table,
it will be necessary to go back to head
quarters and to watch the General Sup
erintendent and the train dispatcher.
Although many trains running on the
line are hundreds Of miles away, the ex-
act position Of every one, every second
in the hour, is known and recorded. A
telegraph operator is working indus
triously in the Office of the train dis
patcher, receiving and sending orders.
The running orders of all the trains are
directed from this office. Each engineer
has orders to make a certain run ac-
cording to the timetable, unless other
orders from headquarters interfere
If an accident happens on the road the
train dispatcher knows it almost as soon
as the passengers. A breakdown of
some local train on the main line may
upset all the calculations of the day.
Immediately the expresses running on
that line must be stopped before COL
lision occurs. A snowstorm may block
ade a train on the northern branch Of
the road, and thereby make necessary
change in the regular schedule.
A train from the West is half an hour
behind perhaps, and this interferes with
the regular running of the other trains.
Arrangements must be made to let
trains pass without accident. The ex-
press trains nearly always have the
right of way. A Western express may
be behind time and start out five min
utes ahead of some special express. In
this instance she must give the special
the right of way, and she is forced upon
some siding. The special express passes
without losing minute.
There are fifty trains coming and go
ing, one behind time, another head.
probably, and each crowding out an
other. The train dispatcher has to reg
ulate this tangle and keep things run
ming smoothly. Thus it is that the en-
gineer of flyer may suddenly find him
self side-tracked.
Should the train dispatcher make a
mistake, or fail to make arrangements
for two fast-moving trains, the block
signal system would probably prevent
an accident. The block towers are con-
nected by telegraph lines and bell
code enables the men to communicate
directly with each other. They can stop
train at any moment by means of
their signals, Independent of orders from
headquarters. Thus the engineer de-
Ponds entirely upon others to keep the
track clear, and he merely runs his train
as near schedule time as possible, and
keeps his iron steed in perfect condition.

The "Hot Touch" in Tennessee.

A touch" is a mace" strike" a

kinds of touches. There is the hot
touch" the rush touch, which is the
hot touch's" twin brother, 'sympa-
thy touch" and other kinds too numer-
Gus to mention.
A ..hot" touch or rush" touch is one
that is made so quickly that the
TOUGHER gets the money he asks for
before the "touchee" realizes what Is
happening.
The other day a "hot one" was made
on q young man who is rather near
with his money The TOUGHER in this
case was an artist. He rushed up to
the touchee with tears in his eyes and
said: i've got to go to Nashville. old
man. MY mother Is dead. Please lend
me ten"

mothers DEATH" said the stingy one,
as he produced the ten. When did
she die?"

walked away.-Memphis Scimetar.
