Regarding Extra Session.

Washington, d. C.-(Special) 1.-The
president has conveyed assurance to
some of the party leaders in congress.
in addition to those given last week.
that he will certainly call congress to-
gether in extra session If it fails to pass
the army reorganization bill at the
present session. In answer to repeated
inquiries the administration has been
obliged to decline all propositions look
ing to the tiding over of the needs Of
the army by passing a joint resolu-
ton, simply extending the appropria-
tons on the basis of the present or
gahtzation, holding that this action
would be utterly inadequate to meet the
situation. The volunteers, it is said,
are extremely unsatisfactory, and there
would be absolutely no assurance that
the president could retain them in the
service even when the emergency is
great, The same statement would APP
ply to the regular army soldiers who
enlisted for the war.
A very serious objection to the Joint
resolution program, too. would be its
failure to supply the staff and line Off
GERS absolutely needed. These officials
say that the pending HUI bill provides
for just 500 original appointments of
second lieutenants. and 1t is declared
to be the policy of the administration
to divide these places among the states
and territories on the basis of their
population.

Try to Capture Aquinaldo.

New York.--(Special.)A Washing
ton dispatch to the Journal says: Cen
eral Otis Is expected to effect the cap
ture of Aguinaldo within a week. AS a
result of the situation II was decided by
the president and his official advisers
to cease American military operations
on the island of Panay with the occu-
patton of Iloilo. 1t is believed that
IL Aguinaldo is captured, or his army
on Luzon destroyed and he fees, the
rebellion will be at an end.
One of the cabinet officers said after
themeeting that an aggressive cam
paign against Aguinaldo was necessary
for the reason that the American army
must be relieved of the constant and
wearisome guarding against surprises
by rowing bands of guerrillas and be-
cause such warfare would be kept up
as long as Aguinaldo remained at large.
Instructions were sent to General
Otis to advise General Miller to sus-
pend operations on the island of Pa
nay General Miller Is expected to as
sumo control of the CITY of noilo, raise
the American flag on the public build
ings. assert American sovereignty over
the whole island OF Panay and main
tain order under a military govern
ment similar to that with which he
was familiar in Manila.

Lincoln eElanCipated 1000, 0C0 beings,
Mckinley has brought 100000 to light
and freedom and the devoted president
Is most like Lincoln in his moral at
tributes and his popular sympathies, in
keeping in touch with the popular
heart as he fulfills his lofty mission of
taking the flag of American liberty
where Lincoln has left it, pure and
stainless. and carrying IL forward to
wider sway and usefulness in the
world"
Secretary Long was then introduced
and said in part
You have heard the president and
the postmaster general utter their
statement of our relations to our for
eign neighbors. What can ! add? Our
peace with Spain, thank heaven, has
been ratified, and while unfortunately
the delay in its ratification may be ac-
cOuntable for the recent blOodshed at
Manila. the discussions which preceded
II nave not Deen without tnelT value
in an honest presentation of all phases
Of the situation, and in holding the
country to the highest ideals of ma
tional duty and honor. 1t is certainly
cause for congratulation that the eX
treme imperialists who resisted the
treaty have been signally overthrown."
MKINLEY'S MODESTY.
BY resisting its ratification they
have been insisting upon the extrem-
est imperialism and have out-Heroded
Herod. They would not only have
prolonged the war with Spain, but
would have taken out of the hands Of
the people and put into the hands Of
one man, the president, absolute au-
thority over the Philippines, limited
only to the infinite scope of what is
allied the war power.
Think of that for Imperialism 1t is
| great credit to the president that like
hose two other modest candidates, Ju-
ius Caesar and Washington, he has
-efused this offer of 'kingly crown
IN the contrary, the good old demo-
ratio plan has been adopted of put
ing the disposition of these islands
ntu the hands of the American people,
Who will duly express their will in con-
yress assembled. l have no doubt that
he president Is delighted to have the
Elephant off his hands and on theirs 1t
s very cold day when he gets left.
