Hanna Saws No Ertra Session.

Washington. d. c., July Is
President McKinley's decision that be
will handle the China situation with
out asking congress to exercise It's sd
mitted functions Is an object lesson in
imperialism which conservative men,
bers OF his own party fear will hurt
him before the American electorate.
The president and his campaign
managers, headed By Senator Hanna
show a pronounced indisPosition to
summon 81 extrs session of congress,
because they regard the laE-mAking
body Of the nation as q hiDdrancs to
the plans they have in view for meet
ing the situation in the Orient.
Senators and authorities upon the
constitution in both houses stand
aghast at Senator Hanaa's startling
Interpretation OF the powers vested in
the president. They say that the con-
stituiion prohibits the president from
taking money out OF the treasury on
his owe motion and that the power to
declare war ls vested 10 congress
only.
But the emperor Of e~xpediehcy is
taking authority to paw out millions Of
money and TO send thousands OF
American soldiers to wage war in
China.
senator John T. Morgan, q Of the
best lawyers Of the senate, believes thai
khe session should be called, and many
others agree with him. Senator Hams
still opposes it, however, and ii viii
not be called.

territory, Including parts OF the
KhabAroysk district and the coast
territory, as well as the towns OF
Blagoyestchensk, Khabarovsk and
Nikolskussuri, have been declared IN
