AN EXTRA SESSION
Of Congress Will Be Called When Peace
 is Concluded.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The Post tomorrow will say: President Mckinley will call an extra session of both houses of congress as soon as Spain accepts the terms or peace offered by the United States.
 It has always been understood that the senate would be convened as soon as the treaty of peace was ready to be acted upon by that body. The attention of the presi- dent has been called, hoover, to -situa- tion which makes the assemblage of the entire congress necessary. Ihls sltuatioii can be explained in few words:
 K 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 it was not for a moment supposed that after the war had ended there would be any necessity for keeping the army Intact. The develop ments of the war make it very evident that instead of sending the army back ito civil life fully 100000 men will continue to be needed It is the present intention to distribute no less than 5O,0O0 soldiers throughout Cubo, with 30,OOO in the Phil ippines and probably 20000 in Porto RICO. Under the law as soon as hostilities cease the volunteer army is disbanded and the regular army goes back to it's peace foot ing thus leaving only 27,000 men in the service This is a total far too small for the work that will be required. Conse- ouently the aid of congress will be needed to frame new laws which will keep an ade- uuate army for garrison purposes. In addition to this. laws must be passed to meet the new requirements of govern ment in the Philippines and Porto Rico
 The president is naturally averse to call ing congress together during\ the hot weather and it may be decided that the war is not ended until the senate has rati- fled the treaty of peace. In this case con gress will not meet until te first or middle of September, as it will take at least a motnh or six weeks for the full details of the treaty to be discussed and framed. The present outlook is, however, for an extra session at a much earlier period i' the hope that it's work can be concluded before the fall campaign has reached its heioht

 Montgomery, Aug. 1.-The election pass ed off quietly here today, the democratic nominees getting practically all of the vote cast. There was was no opposition to nominees for supreme court, circuit court, chancery court or county officers and the opposition to the democratic state ticket was ridiculously small. There are scarcely any populists here and the ma jority of the best class of republicans, both white and colored, voted for the democratic state nominees on the theory that the states affairs would be in safer hands with thaem than with any of the others. The vote was very light in this county owing to there being no contest and no campaigning here.
