CALL FOR CONGRESS-
WASHINGTON EXPECTS AN EXTRA
SESSION ABOUT THE MIDDLE
OF MARCH
SOME LIMIT TO ITS LENGTH
That the Extra Session Shall Not
Cover More Than Six Weeks
The Army Fill to he Kept to the
Front at All NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Discuss the Situation.

WASHINGTON, Feb 22.-"I think
the extra session will be called for
March 49, said Senator Hansbrough,
OF North Dakota, Immediately after
visit to the White house. The Demo-
Gratis and Populists are opposing the
army bill for political effect, but We
have accepted the issue, and an extra
session may be the best thing that
could happen for the Republican party
from a purely political point of view"
A few senators and representatives
still believe an extra session can be
avoided, but there is an overwhelming
majority who believe the other way.
President Mckinley has reached the
conclusion that an extra session is I'M
aVoidabe, but he will not, Of course,
take official notice of the situation un-
ii, after the final adjournment of the
present congress, at noon, March 4.
The president had a conference with
number of leading Republican SEN
ators and agreed with them that no
concessions should be made to the mi
nority in regard to the army reorgani-
Zation bill. The Republican programme
is to keep the Hull bill ahead of all
legislation, so that with its failure most
of the appropriation bills will likewise
fail to pass.
Senator Cullom said for the first time
that he regarded an extra session as
inevita BILE. He made this remark as he
left the White house, where he had been
in conference with the president on the
general situation.
SHORT SESSION.
representative Grosvenor, who also
had talk with Mr.. Mckinley, told his
Republican colleagues after he came
away from the White house they might
as we'll make their arrangements to
remain in Washington until late in the
spring, and possibly longer. 1t is be-
ieved, however, that the administra-
ton will endeavor to limit the special
session, if one is called, to about six
weeks or not more than two months
at the longest.
1t is probable that the new congress,
besides passing the army bill and ap-
preparation bills, will make an effort to
pass the bill providing a criminal code
for Alaska the Hawaiian measure, the
Nicaraguan canal bill and the Hanna
Payne subsidy shipping scheme.
If any considerable amount of Repub-
lican opposition develops against these
measures, they will be abandoned and
left over to the regular session.
While there has been a good deal of
talk about what may be accomplished
at the extra session, not a word has
been said by any of the Republican
leaders in favor of enacting any finan-
cial legislation. But it is possible that
the president will exert his influence
to secure the passage of a bill for
boarding legal tender notes in the
treasury, after they have been ex-
changed for gold by the present hold
ers. This would not amount to much
in the way of monetary reform, but
it would doubtless operate to break the
endless chain SYSTEM" which has been
so frequently resorted to for the pur-
pose Of depicting the gold in the treas

by the Americans.

Manila, May 11.-Insurgents succeed
ed in landing ten machine guns on Ca

Panay insurgents assassinated NJ. Du-
marais, Frenchman, who crossed the
lines under a flag of truce to negoti-t tie
for the release of Spanish prisoners.
This action may cause demonstration
by France.
In an interview Senor Mabini, who is
at the head Of Aguinaldo's cabinet, says
insurgents are very hopeful. They will
continue fighting, relying upon Euro
pean Intervention.
insurgents in the province of Cavite
are preparing to make desperate resist
ance to the Americans.
Mr.. Higgins manager of the Manila
Dagupan railway, and two assistants,
who remained inside Of the insurgent
lines to protect the property of the rail-
way company, arrived at San Fernando
yesterday. They had been informed by
insurgents that they could no longer re-
main safely within the lines. Higgins
corroborated the stories of demoraliza-
ton of the Filipinos, and says the rebels
are looting all natives property, and
now is the time for Americans to strike
hard.

Suits for Poll Tax.

The board of education will in due
time bring civil suits against certain
citizens who fatty refuse 10 pay the poll
tax of 81, as prescribed by the territorial
laws. The board will test the legality
of collecting such tax Heretofore only
certain willing individuals paid poll tax.
The others refused on the pretext that
it was not lawful to collect the tax. The
board claims that if the law does not
concern every voter then it concerns
none. 1t is also claimed that the board
of education Of the City of Albuquerque
brought suits to collect poll tax and
won. The result is that Albuquerque
collects more poll tax money than any
city in the territory. Every voter should
watch closely the proceedings brought
against refusing parties, and be gov
erned according to the decision of the
district court.

THINNING FRUIT,
The Agricultural College Advises That
Apple Crops Are Too Heavy.

N. M. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE
And Mechanic Arts, and Ex. Station. !
[PRESS BULLETIN NO. 81
Progressive orchardists in the Mesilla
valley have been busily engaged in thin
ming the peach crop, and now the ap-
pies and pears demand attention. AS
the Mesilla is one of the earliest fruit
regions in the territory this note should
be read in time to remind fruit growers
everywhere of the Importance of thin
ming as means of making fruit more
merchantable. If only the effect on the
crop be considered, the best time to thin
is while the tiny seed in the fruit is still
watery; but it frequently happens that
the fruit is so small at that stage that
the labor Of thinning is very much
greater than it would be a little later,
and the extra expense more than coun-
terbalances the advantage of very early
thinning. In the peach practically no
benefit results from thinning after the
stony tissue forms around the seed. The
Arkansas Traveller peaches were
thinned in the college orchard on the
I'd inst, the fruit being a half inch in
diameter on the average. Where q
heavy crop is set fully five-sixths of the
peaches should be removed. In the Me-
silla valley not more than 500 fruits per
tree in full bearing are left, and many
growers recommend smaller number
than this. If the fruit remaining aver,
ages one foot apart very good results
should follow.
The apple crop will need thinning
throughout the territory, If the favor
able reports thus far received may be
relied upon. The increase in size secured
by thinning results in a much larger
proportion of high-grade fruit, while
color and flavor are also improved. The
apples should not be allowed to get
much more than one-half inch in diam
eter before thinning begins. OF course,
the largest fruit in a cluster should be
left, and the distance between fruits
will be governed largely by variety The
tendency of all beginners will be to
leave too many fruits on tree. From
s to 12 inches is safe spacing The
pear requires the same treatment.
There can hardly be doubt that or
chards in which the fruit is thinned
when necessary are longer lived and are
more apt to bear annual crops than
where permitted to overbear. The labor
Of thinning is an item to be considered,
but girls and boys can quickly betaught
to do the work, and with cheap labor
the practice is unquestionably profit
able. CHARLES A. KEFFER.

AFTER THE OIL TRUST.
An Attorney Says Trusts Get Monopoly
and Then Advance Prices.

Washington, May 1.-THE industrial
commission to-day heard the first wit
ness in connection with the inquiry into
the operation of trusts. James W. Lee,
of Pittsburg, attorney for several pipe
lines and oil companies, said trusts were
organized to secure a monopoly and
when this was secured prices We're gen.
orally increased to permit dividends on
watered stock. This had been eminent
ly true of the Standard Oil Company.
When his companies went into the
field in New York in 1896 they found the
Standard company selling oil at 1-3
cents gallon. The price was almost
Immediately reduced to 5i9 cents, the
object being to drive out their rival.
The competition saved fully 5000, 900 to
the people of Greater New York. Lee
expressed an opinion that the Standard
company is still getting rebates from
railroad companies.
