bia to compel H. Clay Evans. commission
er Of pensions, to pay to him fee claimed
to be due him as attorney in a pension
case. The refusal to pay the fee is based
on the fact that another attorney COM

petitioner was disbarred from practice be-
fore the pension bureau.
The order of disbarment having been re-

he never was disbarred. and. he adds. the
illegal order Of disbarment cannot operate
to deprive him Of any fee to which he Is
entitled. The court Is asked to compel the
payment of the fee to the petitioner.

Relating to Court. Jurisdiction.

Reporting upon Senate bill 5O5S and House
bill 1881. to amend the act comforting on
the Supreme Court Of the District jurisdc-
ton to take proof of the execution Of wills,
approved June s. 1898. the attorney for the
District, Mr.. A. B. Duvall. today explained
to the Commissioners that the House bill
proposes to amend the act of June s. 1885,
by adding thereto three new sections to be
designated as sections ID, IA and 10, and the
Senate bill is Identical with the House meas
ure, except that it proposes to add only sec
tons 13 and IA.

vide for publication of notice Of the probate

EXTRA SESSION TALK
ONE REGARDED BY LEADERS As
PRACTICALLY CERTAIN.
Much Work to be Accomplished
which Cannot he Done Be-
fore March 4,

1t Is regarded by those best informed as
practically certain that there will be an
extra session of the Fifty-seventh Congress
soon after the close of this Congress on
the 18th OF March. 1t is known that the
President deems legislation with reference
t. Cuba and the Philippines important
enough to warrant an extra session
II the legislation cannot be had at
this session. Men in both houses Of
Congress who looked especially into
the Philippine situation agree with the
President in this opinion. and, at the
same time. 1t Is universally recognized that
the present legislative situation in the Sem
ate renders not only this. but other desired
legislation. practically impossible. 1t is
known that the opinion Is entertained in
the Senate Philippine committee that the
demand for Philippine legislation is impera-
tive. and that 1t can be had only through
an extra session.
The situation has developed beyond the
granting general civil authority to the
President in the Philippines might suffice,
yet 1t is not believed that even that bill
could be passed at this session.
Work to He Accomplished.
The purpose will be to pass bill contain
ing more general provisions at the extra
session. The question Of currency for the
Islands and the establishment Of suitable
land laws will have to be provided, and
many details Of civil esta blishment must be
desired. Therefore the plan is to construct
new general bill In place of the Spooner
grant Of authority.
1t Is said. too. that the President and
men In Congress who are thoroughly in
sympathy with him on this subject feel that
action on the Cuban constitution should
not be delayed until after the regular meet
Ing OF the Fifty-seventh Congress. year
hence.
There Is always disinclination in Con-
gress to have an extra session called on any
account. and necessarily the policy OF hav-
Ing one now finds opposition. but the legis-
lative situation in the Senate Is such now
as to foreshadow the failure of several I'M
portant measures. the friends OF which will
be glad Of an opportunity to renew them
at once after their failure at this session.
The Senate must meet In extra session on
the 4th for executive business which may
occupy them about ten days. and 1t Is
thought an extra session of the Congress
will be called to meet by the time the Sem
ate's executive business Is concluded.

Senator Desires Reelection.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
LINCOLN, Neb., January 29.-After two
weeks OF balloting the senatorial situation
here remains in practically the same con-
dition as on the first day of the contest.
Since the first day a tight deadlock has
been maintained. and the many agencies
which it was supposed would succeed In
breaking the jam have thus far failed ut
terly. Among the republicans the six as
pirants who began the race as leaders still
hold their places at the top Of the list, and
what is more remarkable Is that they still
stand In the same relative rank as regards
each other.
Todays vote for these six Indicate ex-
actly their proportional standing from the
first. 1t reads: D. l.. Thompson, SO; Geo.
ID. Meiklejohn, %: F. NJ. Currie, 20; Ed
ward Rosewater, IS; e. H. Hinshaw, 10;
Lorenzo CrOunSe Z.
TodayS sensation was the definite an
nouncement that Senator John NJ. Thurston,
despite his repeated assertions to the con-
trary, would again be candidate. The
bitter fight between the four leading North
Platte candidates. Meiklejohn, Currie,
Rosewater and CrOunse, necessitates the
advancement of compromise candidate
from that section, as none Of the four will
give in for any other.
ThurSton appears this substitute. He
bases his hope solely on the strong bust
ness influences of Omaha, which demand
an Omaha senator at any cost. The sena-
tor has not entered the balloting yet but
Is expected to do so before the end of the
week meanwhile the fusionists, who. it
was thought, would settle the contest long
before this by entering into a split COM
bination with the republicans, are still I'M
able to agree on one man on whom TO CEN
tralize their votes. so they continued to
cast a scattering ballot. with Senator Allen,
w. II: Thompson and G. NJ. Hitchcock the
favorites.
