Washington, January 2S.-(Special.)- There now seems more liklihood than here toforesthat Congress will be called in extra session. The President is evidently very desirous to have Congressional authority to act in the Philippines, and it seems doubtful if the Spooner bill can pass, and even then more specific authority dealing with the currency and land questions in the Philippines may be deemed necessary.
 When asked what he thought of the pro- posed extra session Senator Pettus said: 1T hsge no idea there'll be an extra ses- sion. The army and appropriation bills will all be passed, and I do not believe the President thinks anything else before Con- gress of enough importance to call it to- gether again."
 Representative Underwood says There Is no real necessity for an extra session at this time If the Republicans will stop pres sing the shipping sub,dy bill in the Senate the balance of the legislation can really be disposed of by March 4. If they continue to push the subsidy bill, they may cause one

FIVE PERSONS DEAD
 AND ONE WOUNDED
Disastrous Railroad Wreck CauS- ed by an Engineer Falling
 Asleep on Siding

Parkersburg, w. Va, January 2S.-Five persons dead and one severely wounded, two engines and ten loaded cars wrecked is the result of the mistake of train crew today made between Petroleum and Vol cano Junction on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad An engineer mistook the first section of a passing train for the second Thinking both had passed, he pulled his train on the main track and sped onward to what seemed to have necessarily been his death.
 The dead: J. B. Watkins, engineer; w. W. Cunningham, fireman; M. Courtney, of Parkersburg, brakeman; J. T. Bailey, of Parkersburg. fireman; J. G. Bailey, Kama wba, brakeman.
 The injured; Ike Davidson of Grafton, en- gineer, burned, cut and bruised, will re- cover.
 The body of J. G. Bailey, the only one recovered, was badly crushed and could only be identified by his watch. The other four are still pinioned under the wreck and cannot be recovered tonight.
 The accident occurred in a cut on curve on heavy down grade and at the end of a bridge. The third section of No. S was on the siding at Petroleum, with orders to wait there until the second section of Mo- 9S passed east. Engineer Davidson, who escaped with slight injuries was the engineer of No. S7 and went to sleep on the siding.
 When the first section went by he thought it was the second section and started out on the main track. His fireman and for ward brakeman, both of whom were killed, must have been asleep, for they allowed him 10 take the train out. The conductor of the first section of 9S after he passed, saw Davidson pulling out and tried to wave him to stop, but failed. The engineer of the fourth section of S seeing the third section pull out whistled down brakes and Conductor Lang of the wrecked train made every effort to stop his engineer, but none of them could attract his attention. Con- ductor Lang escaped injury

New York, January 2s.-An unexpected jump in cotton, causing the greatest ex- citement, occurred this morning and near the hour of closing middling spot cotton was worth 12 cents.

 Yet January squeeze has been worrying shorts In the cotton market here for some time past Some believe that the deal cul- minated today with rise of 255 points, others believe that the actual liquidation has not been fully completed, and therefore there may be further sensational develop ments The market, beyond the special att tention given to January, has been almost lifeess The closing sales Saturday were at 10. 20.

 Governor Sanford will transmit his first message to the General Assembly at tomor rows session. The Governor has written but a brief message, containing possibly 4O0O words. It is understood that much of the message is devoted to the States finances.

It is hinted that he opposes the re- peal of the back tax law, and will advocate the creation of a pardoning board and text book uniformity

CRAZY SNAKE HAS
 REFUSED ID TALK It is Believed That the. StoicaI Chief Will Yet Show a
 Friendly Spirit

Henrietta, I. T., January 2S.-Chitto Harjo, Crazy Snake, the leader of the waring Creeks. who is United States pris- oner here, remained sullen today and re- fused to confer with Lieutenant Dion. It is believed. however, the chief will, sooner or later, show friendly spirit, and that the result will be prompt ending of the in surrection.
 It is argued that Harjo and his follow CTS have been taught to have greater re- spect for the army officers than for depu- ties believing that the soldier Is more apt to treat him fairly. This has been brought about not by the marshals' actions, but be- cause a deputy here and there in the past has not acted wisely toward them
 The news of the capture of Harjo reached Henrietta last night. When the chlef, Wno was mounted upon his pony, and surround ed by four deputies, appeared at the tent of Lieutenant Dixon, he was greeted con- siderately. Fifty soldiers, grouped about a campfire, sang "The Blue and the Gray, while Lieutenant Dixon made friendly overtures to the prisoner. The Indian sat- stoical and pround, in his saddle.
 "Tell him that the officer wishes to shake his hand as a friend" said Lieutenant Dix on to the interpreter.
 Harjo grunted his response and slipped from his pony In the meantime soldiers hurriedly prepared a tent tor the chlef, while others grouped themselves about him.
 The capture of Crazy Snake is believed here to be the most important move since the outbreak He has been the agitator and the real leader of the dissatified In- dians

CASHIER LOCKED
 IN SMALL CLOSET Robbers Forced Him in and Then Went Off With Over
 $500 in Cash

Kansas City, January 2S.-At the office of the Standard Oil Company a young man forced w. E. Irwin, the cashier, at the point of a revolver into a closet, and after locking him in made off with between $500 and $700 in cash. Irwin was preparing his cash for the bank when the young man en- tered the office quietly and placing a re- volver at the cashiers head ordered him to retreat to a small closet a few feet away. Irwin complied promptly and the robber turned the key on him. Then, placing the money in his side pocket, the robber walked from the office hundred feet to the rail- way tracks, where he boarded passing freight train. Irwin was alone and it was some time before he could attract passers- by to release him. He then notified the po- lice.
 The police tonight arrested Ched Cover dale and Ralhp Myer on suspicion of being guilty of the robbery. Later Cashier Irwin positively identified Coverdale as the man who entered the office and robbed him. It is supposed that Myer is a confederate. When arrested the men had STA and they tried to bribe their captors.

COTTON SCORES
 ADVANCE OF 255 POINTS
 CAUSING A WILD PANIC

market broke later to 11.50, which was the level at noon. The greatest jumps were from 10.S0 to 12, from 12. 25 to 1250, thence to 12.75. At the latter point New York concern, representing big New England in terests, commenced to sell right and left and a little later another concern sold. This stopped the rise and the market sagged off to Il 5O The air was filled with rumors of cotton to be delivered from Fall River and shipments are said to have been made by express guaranteed to be here in time for January delivery About 5000 bales Janu- ary changed hands before noon. It does not follow that the long interest was liqui- dated to this amount, as the clique bought as well as sold. There was sympathetic rise in February and March. the former selling as high as s.6O and the latter al 9.4f, while the excitement in January was the greatest. But the general list made re- luctant advance of only to points, and ruled very dull.

CITIES ALONG OHIO BEGIN
 CRUSADE AGAINST NEGROES
Board of Safety Have Ordered Police to Arrest All Negroes and Bring Them Before Police Judges to Show Reason
 Why They Should Not Work.

Indianapolis, Ind, January 2S.-A special to the Sentinel from Evansville Ind, says:
 Cities and towns along the Ohio river have begun a crusade against the negroes. The entire trouble dates back to the lynch ing of the negroes at Rockport and Boone vile for the murder of the white barber, Simmons, at Rockport, one night of last month. The board of safety of this city has ordered the police to arrest all strange negroes and bring them before the city po- lice judge. If they cannot give reason for being here they will be sentenced to the rock pile. The object of the order is to rid the town of an obnoxious class of ne- groes. It is estimated that there are 200O negro men in this city who absolutely re- fuse to work. They spend their time !n the negro saloons and low dives of the city and live the best way they can. On election day they are in the market and the man who bids the highest is the man who lands them.
 The board of safety was led to take this step by action of the Spencer County grand

jury in indicting 13s negroes of Rockport for selling their votes on election day. The citizens committee has been actively at work for the past month arranging the pre- liminary evidence to be presented to the grand jury. It is said an attempt will be made to have the blacks who are indicted arraigned in court in one day, and 1t is de- sired that they be sent to state prison at the same time. Such proceeding would be a novel thing in the history of Indiana jurisprudence.
 Other towns in Indiana along the river are taking steps to drive the worst element of negroes away. In some towns no negro is permitted to live. Vigilance committees have been appointed at Grandview, Enter prise Tell City and Leavenworth. Since the recent trouble at Newburg many of the colored people have left that town.
