AN EXTRA SESSION NEEDED

From the New York World.
 Why does the president continue to pot- ter with what must inevitably prove farical inquiry into the war department scandal?
 What can be done by commission that has no power to summon witnesses or to compeel testimony?
 Whom Is the presidents commission to investigate? Is it not actually the presi- dent himself-the executive who appointed -Alger and has thus far sustained him?
 The law has conferred upon congress the power to order and the authority to prose- cute such an investigation as is needed.
 The president should summon congress together in extraordinary session, by the first or the middle of October, to inquire into the entire conduct of the war, and to enact such legislation as will be required for securing and utilizing the results of the war.
 A special session would be useful and is necessary for mastering out the superflu- ous war taxes
 To wait until the regular session in De- cember is to make sure that nothing will be done in any of these directions. With the holiday adjournment and the regular business the time of the short session will be all occupied.
 If MT. Mckinley wants a real investiga- tion and would relieve the country of war burdens in time of peace, he will summon . congress together.

DUG D ORLFAN 5
Issues a Manifesto Denouncing the
 Dreyfusites.

Paris. September 19.The Due dOrleans has issued a manifesto deuouncing the Dreyrusires. The manifesto begins thus:
 "At last the promoters of the odious plot against the honor and security of the fatherland have thrown off their mask Intimdated by them, the ministers have lowered themselves so far as ts become their accompiices."
 The Due d'Orleans accuses the n.!nistry of sSekng a revision of the Dreyfus pro- eeedings, while convinced that Dreyfus was guilty, under pretext of calming the public for their own profit. He declares that the prospects makes his heart quiver and he concludes his manifesto in these words:
 "Frenchmen-We are masters in our country. Your servants. subject to occult and pernicious power. presume to impose upon you the will to which they submit under the pretext of proving the innocence oI man whom the military tribunals have condemned as traitor. It is the army they are trying to destroy and France they are striving to ruin.
 fTenchmcn; We will not allow it.'

Liggett & Myers Company Not Absorb
 ed bJ Amer. Tobac6 Go.

St. Louis, September 19.-1n regard to the report that the Drummond Tobacco com pany and the Liggett and Myers company had been absorbed by the American To- bacco company, which rumor has again been set in circulation, President H. l. Drummond of the Drummond Tobacco company made this emphatic statement to- day:
 T have denied in every way possible that have given any option on this plant, or have agreed to enter any combine or other organization, or have submitted any propo- stion to sell to the American Tobacco company, yet the story that we are going into combine has been repeatedly circu- lated for the past two years.
 "I have never said, however, that would not sell if enough money is offered for the plant The other manufacturers know my position well, and whenever they raise the cash tahey can have this plant. I want cash, though; no stock will be sold until l have the money in hand"
 President Duke of the Duke Cigarette company, he says, is here on personal busi- ness in the management of the American company's plants in this city and that his coming has nothing to do with the rumored deal He refused to discuss the origin of the report.

Everyone knows how resolutely he minim- ized that disadvantage. All that we heard of him in Cuba, and all we have heard of his labors and reports and obsert ations at Camp Wkoff have tended to make folks think of him as truly valuable able sol- dier, and possessed of admirable spirit. Wherever we hear of him, he is doing good. Whenever we hear from him it is some
 thing worth attention. It is a matter for thankfulness that he is member of con gress, and that when military and other inn portant measures come up there next win ter his voice will be heard and will carry weight.

 The military man who, next to Colonel Roosevelt, has been fortunate in the repu- tation he has made out of the war seems to be General Wheeler. He has filled con- spicuous places both at Santiago, when General Shafter was sick, and more lately at Camp Wkoff. Being an older man than Colonel Roosevelt and not put together with the same quality Of rivets, he had the bad luck, which Roosevelt escaped, to catch the fever inopportunely at Santiago.

The investor is encouraged to save feeling sure that his savings will be returned with a fair profit.

 T. A. KLEBS M. D. w. V. M Robertson, General Manager:
 Seventy-two months ago I was living in l borrowed from your association $5OO. l paid $1150 per month in dues, interest and premium for seventy-two months. The withdrawal value of my stock, with ac- cumuiated prof1ts then repaid my loan and returned me $61 50 which check have just received. I find that the total net cost to me has been $S66 per month. "The Ala bama Home'' has been of great benefit and usefulness to me. The settlement gave me such satisfaction that I have rejoined the association.

GERMANY'S SUSPICIOUS ACTIONS

 Regarding Bills Intentions.

Washington, September 19.-The officials at the state and war departments welcom- ed the notice sent to the American people through the Associated Press of the fals- ty of the stories describing the friction between the Philippines and the American forces in Luzon. While the officials did not care to discuss the matter for publica- , tion, 1t was evident that the main source of their satisfaction was the internal evi- dence contained in the document that Aguinaldo has profited by the warnings of the American comanders and had grace fully receded from the arrogant attitude assumed by him just before General Mer- ritt left Manila for Paris.
 Complications Threatened
 While there is little in the official records that tends to contradict what the insurgent chief says, still it must be recalled that both General Otis and Admiral Dewey in cable messages to Washington have point

yard to have them start on their long voy- age by the end Of the present month and according to the departments calculations they should arrive at their destination by the end of January.
 There Is little effort now made to conceal the fact that the department will have the ships met at Honolulu by dispatch boat with orders to turn their prows westward to Manila.
 Battleships of this character are not needed to keep the Filipino insurgents in order, and their assembling at Manila in conjunction with the dispatch of heavy re- Inducements of troops cannot but be re- garded as significant. In well informed ciP- cles here 1t is said that the president in making these preparations Is to insure the peace commissioners against interference in their work of disposine of the future of the Philippines according to their best judgment. Not having disclosed his plans respecting the islands outside of Luzon, the seat of the capital of the group, the president still reserves for the American peace commissioners the right to dispose of the remainder of the islands as they may deem best.
 Some Curious Incidents
 A long line of curious incidents, to which one of the great European powers has been party, has beyond question done much to cause feeling of uneasiness on the part Of the administration as tending to show a purpose to interfere in our action in the fhilpplnes, and this has been only slightly diminished by apparently frank disclaimers or an ulterior purpose, because the inci- dents continue quietly and in a manner eaicuiated to avoid attracting attention. Such, TOT instance, is the gathering of na- val vessels to the south of the Phllippine group, the only explanation of which, com ing from native sources, it Is true, but still bearing marks of genuineness, is for the FfV tl,..,. some secret pact with the Spanish govern- ment the important island of Palawan. This particular island forms one side of the gate way through which must pass all of ET extensive commerce that flows between Australia, Miconesia and southern China The passage is narrow, and if the islands of the Philippine group are to be retained outside of Luzon, this island of Palawan must be kept, as forming one side of the gateway.
