AN EXTRA SESSION
likely That Congress viii Meet in
April.
NOTHING DEFINITE IS KNOWN,
But 1t is Thought That an Extra Ses-
sion VIII be Called for Special
Philippine Legislation.

Washington. D. c., Special.-That
senators regard seriously the prospect
Of an extra session OF congress in view
Hs the presidents urgent recommenda-
Yion Of legislation concerning the Phil
'ippine islands, was evidenced by the
activity of those who wish 20 avoid an
extra session. The speculation con-
cerniag the probability OF called ses-
sion was rendered more definite by the
fact that senator's known to be gen.
orally we'll informed concerning the
presidents plans, Joined in the discus
sion of the outlook.
Careful inquiry also developed the
fact that the president has canyaSsed
the subject with few senators. He
does not appear to have indicated any
fixed determination Of Issuing call,
hut rather to have consulted them as
to the adyisability Of such a proceed
ing. In all such instances he seems
20 have had the necessity Of Philippine
legislation in view, and senator's gen.
erally express the opinion that in
case a meeting is called the philippine
question will receive the lions share
of attention. The urgency OF the ad-
ministration on this point is due to the
importantly OF the Taft commission.
Senators are divided upon the Ques-
ton OF the necessity OF congressional
action upon the Cuban constitution
Some of them contend that congress
will not be called upon to act in any
way upon the constitution. Others ad-
NIT the correctness of this view to the
extent OF saying that congressional
action will not be compulsory, but they
advance the idea that the president
will desire to have congress share the
responsibility Of whatever step may
be taken with reference to the Cuban
government.
The senators who oppose the ship
subsidy bill are especially opposed to
an extraordinary session, and will do
all they can to prevent the ealing OF
one. Upon the whole, the most that
can be said is that both the executive
and the congress are discussing the
wisdom Of an extra session, and that
no conclusion has been reached on the
point. They admit the urgency Of a
Eumber OF questions which they know
9annot be disposed of at this session.
At the same time they hesitate seri-
cusly before the responsibility Of a
called session, which it is generally be-
lieved would. II called at all, continue
until will into the summer.

evil which ought to be remedied is I'M
questionable, but the problem how to
remedy it is more difficult than is ap-
parent. 1t might seem that it would
be an easy matter for Norway to al
low the samlags to assume exclusive
control over the sales of all kinds of
liquor, and, indeed, it may seem
strange that she, face to face with the
danger of being flooded by these bev-
erages, has not made provisions to
that effect already; but here, as gen.
orally in all matters Of reform, there
are obstacles in the way. Unfortu-
nately, as a result of earlier liquor
legislation there still survive several
hundred licensed merchants who, &C
cOrding to the law of contract, hold
unassailable rights to trade in ale and
wine as long as they live. AS long as
these private saloons continue the
traffic, there is little hope for improve
ment.
1t is hoped that for a reasonable
sum the merchants will relinquish
their rights. If this is done and all
rights are transferred to samlags then
there is every reason to believe that
the sales of ale and wine will, like the
sales of brandy, be greatly diminished
To achieve this appropriation is there
fore the next and necessary step in
the further development of the tenn
perance movement in Norway
There is therefore no criticism to
offer against the Gothenburg system
other than that it has now reached
point in it's history where operating
according to it's past principles alone
it is no longer adequate to foster to
a higher degree the sobriety of the
Scandinavian people. The necessary
change, however, will not be change
in the fibre of the system. The new
system of absolute control of all in
toxicants by samlags Will simply be
the Gothenburg system completely
realized.
The purpose of the Gothenburg sys-
tenn is to do away Cd with the evil
influences of the individual greed for
gain, (2) with the reckless impover-
ishment of the poor through drinking
on credit or pawn tickets, CD with
the injury arising from the sale of
liquor to young people, ca with the
violation of restrictive regulations of
the law in regard to hours of sale, to
the quantities allowed to be sold, and
to the entire management of the bust
ness, 81 with a competition which
lowers prices co with the use of an
unnecessarily large number of IL
censes and finally CD with the evil
influence of the saloon as an element
in political life. When the system has
been extended to the sale of all alco-
holic beverages, it will, by virtue of
it's many eXcellences, exert a blessed
influence upon the future

DEATH IN TORNADO
TERRIFIC STORM SWEEPS OVER
OKLAHOMA.
SEVERAL PEOPLE KILLED
Rain Falls in Torrents and Storm
Worst Since Opening of Strip
Towns Carried Away Like so Much
Loose Lumber and Great Damage
Wrought to Fields.

Perry, o. T., June 9.-The storm
which passed over eastern Oklahoma
Friday night was the most severe
since the opening of the strip. Sweep
ing down from the Kansas state line
and covering about fifty miles in
width, rain, wind and hail swept over
the country as far south as old Okla
homa. The rain simply fell in tor
rents from early in the evening until
midnight. The fury Of the storm CEN
tered in tornado about $50 p. m.
at point near the Kansas state line.
The tWister took sOutheasterly
course and was most disastrous on
belt ten miles square in eastern Kay
county. The little town Of Eddy was
struck and of twelve or fifteen build
ings in the place all were leveled to
the ground except. the railroad sta
ton. Flying lumber was scattered for
miles The people of the town sought
places of safety early. One unknown
man was killed and several persons
slightly injured by flying debris.
The track of the tornado between
this point and Tonkawa, a distance
of eight miles, was laid to waste. Five
farm houses with barns and outbuild-
ings were blown away, but the occu-
pants all escaped injury. Fine fields
of wheat in the midst of harvest were
laid to waste. The tail end of the
storm fell with terrible force upon
Tonkawa and thirty dwellings and
business houses were scattered like so
much loose lumber. Citizens who had
been watching the advance of the tor
nado sought shelter in caves and Gel
lars. A few miles from this paint the
cloud lifted and the country below did
not suffer much from the storm except
by washouts and hail, which did some
damage to fruit crops.
At Blackwell, a few miles north of
Tonkawa. F. H. Crawford, a carpenter,
was struck by lightning during the
storm and instantly killed At Bill
ings, Noble county, much damage was
done. Seven people were reported
killed and many severely injured.
Wichita, June 9.-The most disas-
trous storm which ever visited Okla
homa prevailed in Kay county Friday
night. The tornado struck Billings,
Eddy and Tonkawa, it's influence
covered a stretch of country ten miles
wide by thirty-six miles long, destroy
ing towns, farmhouses and crops, the
financial loss exceeding 100000.
At Eddy three persons were Killed:
Mrs. Maud McGathri, Louis McGathri
and Robert McGiffin. The injured
are Chas. Goldsmith, John McBrain,
Hugh Prather, Judd McWilliame, How
ard flanagan, Ruby Higinboth and A.
were killed at Billings, but this cannot
be verified.

ST. Louis, June 9.-Arthur Lee Ca.
banne, tired of society at the age If
twenty-five years, college man, ath-
lete and social favorite, scion of one Of
the most prominent and wealthy fami-
lies of st. Louis; son of j. Charles Ca
banne, of No. 1884 Westminster place,
is wheeling pig iron, shoveling coal in
to scorching furnaces and performing
other tasks of hard physical labor for
$3.50 day to acquire knowledge Of
the manufacture of steel. He has
entered five years apprenticeship
and for that period will be literally
dead to the world and recluse from
the haunts in fashionable West End
circles
In the parlance of plant he is q
third moulders' helper, the most hum-
bic and unremunerative position on
the payroll. In the event of faithful
service he will be promoted to second
moulders' helper, then moulders' help
er and finally moulder. with a salary
of 81 a day
He works shoulder to shoulder for
twelve hours each day with hundreds
of negroes and grimy-faced men His
dash and polish are not discernable in
his vulcanic surroundings. He ea.s
with his fellow-laborers and is a good
fellow with them. He tried to enter q
place incog, but a former footman in
his family service employed at the
plant recognized him. and, bofora
night, the 1000 employees were whis-
pering about the newcomer.
Cabanne hopes to learn the business
from the bottom up and go to the top
as he becomes proficient in each de-
partment. He is a graduate of the
Western Military Academy at Alton,
ILL.,, and served as first lieutenant in
the Forty-eighth Infantry. He saw
service in Cuba and the Philippines
But in none of his battles was he in 80
hot a position as he occupies at pres
ent. To shovel in coal he must go
within three feet of the great furnaces
which seem scorching hot to the cas-
ual visitor at the distance of a dozen
rods.

Milwaukee, June 9.-Frank J. Tack,
was found guilty by the jury in the
municipal court of the charge of en-
bezzlement of $1,000 brought against
him by the National Express company.
His attorney secured a stay of SEN
tence until July Is, on the representa-
ton that they intend to take an ap-
peal to the supreme court. The ground
for the appeal will be the refusal of
Judge Brace to admit any testimony
relating to the insanity of the defend
ant or his family. Tack has had two
trials. On the first trial special plea
of insanity was entered. The jury
found him sane, but disagreed on the
issue of embezzlement. On the last
trial the court refused to allow any
testimony regarding insanity.
