TALK OF An EXTRA SESSION.
The PIatt Amendment Cannot be
Changed Except by Congress.
IN SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER.

Washington, June There is more
serious talk in Washington of an extra
session of congress, in high official
circles, than there has been at any
other time since March 4.
A member of the cabinet stated that
he believed the president would find it
necessary in an any event to call it not
later than October /. If possible, -
he said, mo extra session of congress
unless IL should become absolutely
necessary
No one could foreten with any
accuracy, he said, what might happen
at any time in Cuba The reports from
that island indicate. in his Judgment,
by some foolish action on the part of
the Cuban people. The administration
is most positive in its determination
not to permit any modification of the
Platt amendment. In fact. it is as
serted that the president has no au-
thority to entertain any suggestion in
this direction. The PIatt amendment
is a law of the land, and 1t cannot be
changed except by congress.
Before the adjournment of the Fifty
sixth congress, President Mckinley
favored the calling of an extra session.
He believed that he might be com
PEELED to carry the burden of RESPONSE
bility entailed in the settling of the
insular problems which confronted
him. The passage of the Platt amend
ment and the Spooner Philippine
amendment at the eleventh houl
averted an extra session of congress il
March, but the presidents judgment
is, it can be stated on high authority
that congress must meet to settl,
this and some further Legislation
which is absolutely necessary. Unles
a critical situation develops in Cuba
he will not ask congress to meet, it i
understood, until some time in Sen

4 knew Mr.. Ayres rather well, but
never had any relations with him
other than those of a fellow boarder.
He made confidant of me in many
particulars, and, being older than he,
1 felt justified in reprOving him about
March 4 for drinking too much. He
resented my interference to that ex
tent and quarreled with me. From
that time until the night of the shoot
ing we scarcely spoke.
L had retired on Tuesday night
when knock came to the door after
l O'Clock. l arose and found Mr.. Ayres
with an overcoat thrown about him.
He told me that he had been taken
i'll and had a chill He asked me to
get him medicine or do something for
him. I invited him to step inside until
l could look for a box of bromo-laxa-
tive tablets, but they were not to be
found
He then said he was going back to
his room, and besought me to follow
him there, as he wished to have talk
that would explain our differences be
fore he left the hotel for good the next
day. 1 agreed to this, and put on some

trustees of the Hartford Theological
Seminary and member of the execu-
tive committee of the Congregational
Home Missionary Society. DR.. Webb
was born in Newcastle, Me-, in 1920.
His father was farmer, and the fu-
ture missionary labored as a farm
boy and afterward as a helper in
country store. His tastes were intel
lectual, however, and he passed
through Lincoln Academy and Bow
doin College, from which last named
institution he was graduated with
degree in 1916. In 1847 he entered
Bangor Seminary and was called to
passionate before his graduation. He
insisted, however, on a few months
study at Princeton, and thence went
to Augusta, Me-, to begin his ministry.
He was called by a congregation in
Boston in 1860, and became pastor OF
Shawmut Church in 1868. In that
year he was elected member of the
executive committee of the Massa chu-
sets Home Missionary Society, a post
which he held until his death. In 1876
DR.. Webb's usefulness in the mission
airy field took on a wide expansion.
He had already visited Egypt, Pales-
tine, Syria, Asia Minor and other bib
licaI lands, and he entered into his
larger labors with spirit and devotion
DIR. Webb, in his prime, was an elo-
quent and a powerful preacher. His
sermons were always interesting. His
flock loved him in all of his capaci-
ties, and when he resigned from his
pulpit in 1885 he was made pastor
emeritus. He was clever and Wig
orous writer, although never a contro-
versiaIist, and he was tolerant and
gentle in his doctrines and his life.
