NEW PROPOSITION.
Henry Bennett Would Build City
Hall, and Take Building
as Part PAYMENT

The committee on public buildings
Of the city council met Wednesday
evening to listen to the proposal Of
Henry Bennett for erecting the audi
torium Mr. Bennett informed the
council at its meeting Tuesday evening
that he had a plan to propose, and the
matter was referred TO the public build
ings committee Afterwards the coun-
ell decided to submit the sale of the
present city building to bids again,
which took away from the building
committee the power to do anything
further than to listen to what Mr. Ben
aett had to say.
When the committee met last even
ing Thos. G. ShiIlirgIaw and Joseph
Marshall. two other contractors, were
present besides Mr.. Bennett Mr. Ben
nett did not wish to present his plan
TO the city in the presence of other con-
tractors, 50 the. committee went into
executive session Mr.. Marshall and
Mr.. ShiIIingIaw thought this was dis
elimination against those who had bean
compelled to submit to sealed bids, and
they protested, but as the committee
could not take any action on Mr. Ben
nets proposition the members thought
it was not right TO compel him to make
II public
Mr.. Benefits idea was for the city
to select the site on which it wanted the
auditorium built, and he would build
it and take the present city building as
part payment for his work He wanted
the committee to give him time to work
out the details of his plan and assure
him Of its consideration, but the com
mittee has no power TO do this unless

CABINET AGREES
With the President Regarding an
Extra Session.

New York, May IA special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Your correspondent has the authority
of q member Of the cabinet for a state
u1ent that the president, before he left
Washington, had practically made up
his mind to call congress together in
extraordinary session about the 10th OF
october. He has discussed the matter
with members of the cabinet and some
of the leaders Of congress In his inter
views with the latter he made no dec
Iarations as to his Intentions but simply
asked their views He has found a diff
ference of opinion among legislators but
members of his cabinet generally agree
with him that it would be advantageous
to the country and to the party to have
congress called together a month or
two earlier than usual in order that
the several big questions to be brought
before it may be disposed of in time
for adjournment before the nominating
conventions next year
The president wants the policy of the
government in respect to the Philip
pines and other colonial possessions
thoroughly defined and the currency
question disposed of before the next
considerations but there are other mi
nor reasons for congress beginning its
work on October 20 instead Of in De-
Gem her The president believes con-
gress will be able to organize and make
considera Bile progress with its work be-
fore the holiday recess. If the gather
ing is deferred until Decem Der he fears
that the session will be prolonged until
late in the summer, with many Of the
important questions pending while the
nominating conventions are in session
He expects to have his policy in re-
Spect to the future government of the
Philippines fully outlined early in Oc-
tCber- Long before that Admiral Dew
ey will be here with a preliminary re-
port from the mem bers of the Philip
pines commission
