EXTRA SESSION LIKELY.
Fifty-seventh Congress May CONVEX
Rnfnr-e necern her.

Fifty-seventh Congress May Convene
Before December.
A Washington correspondent declares
that an extra session of Congress looms
up as inevitable. The legislative hopper
is overflled with bills which must be
passed during the remaining legislative
days. Hitherto the champions of the
shipping bill have disclaimed any desire
to favor an extraordinary session. But
they now proclaim openly that unless
the ship subsidy bill is passed this ses-
sion the President will be induced to con-
vene the Fifty-seventh Assembly before
the regular session in December. The
ostensible excuse for this call will be to
act upon the Cuban constitutional con-
ventiOn. 1t becomes evident that the
Cuban delegates will be unable to pre-
sent the framework of their indepen-
dent government until after the life of
the present Congress has expired. 1t is
equally certain that Great Britain will
not forward it's reply to the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty amendments until after adj
journment, and in view of the ironclad
agreement there can be no Nicaraguan
legislation this session. Likewise there
dEISSS III the DdChSAOuhI tlG kChpAtlhG
Court decisions affecting the status of
the island possessions, which may de-
mand immediate attention from Con-
gress. To cap the climax, the war tax
reduction bill as reported by the Sen
ate committee invites great deal of hos
tility in the House, and the possibility
of the enactment of war tax reduction
legislation is farther removed by the GER
tainty of a deadlock in conference be-
tween the Senate and House. The Sen
ate reduction bill is totally different from
that passed by the House and is regard
ed by the members of the latter as often
sive and ineQuitable.
A deadlock between the two houses of
Congress is in sight with the war tax
reduction bill as the issue. Although
the Senate bill reported from commit
tee does not exceed the amount of re-
duction authorized in the House, the
character Of the Senate bill is totally
different. The Senate committee replac
ed the tax on bank checks, drafts, bills
of exchange, postal money orders and
many other items which the House re-
moved. 1t likewise repeats the stamp
taxes, repeats the tax on commercial
brokers and abolishes other features
which We're present in the House bill.

New York-There has been practically
no change, either in speculative or gen
eral business conditions, this week. The
stock market has developed into a trad
ers' affair. and its movement during the
greater part of the time has been nerv-
Gus and erratic. Liquidation of small
holdings makes its appearance every time
the market hardens, but on the other
hand there is good buying on all the i'm
portant declines. There is not the activ-
ity in the business world that has mark
ed some periods in the last two or three
years, but that is only natural at this
season of the year. The iron and steel
Industry is somewhat unsettled because
of reduced profits and friction between
the large interests, but aside from that
the situation appears to be healthy and
full of promise. Further gold shipments
were announced this week, but the out
flow is causing no disturbance in any
quarter. Money is easy and apparently
tending to still greater ease.
Chicago-In the wheat market was dis
played an amount of strength toward
the close of the week of which there We're
but the slightest indications at the open
ing. Numbers of the closest watchers
and most successful operators on the To-
cal exchange have been patiently looking
for the effect upon domestic receipts of
last seasons crop failures in some of
the principal sections of both the Win
ter and spring wheat territories. They
believe their early conclusions are on
the point of realization to an extent that
in the near future will leave no room for
doubt in the minds of unbiased observ-
ers that the apparent abundant supplies
so far this season have been altogether
ilusory. 1t is the result, they think, Of
more of the seasons production coming
into view than usual, because owing to
the wide gaps in the region of its pro-
duction, wheat had to be moved from one
State to another to an unusual extent.

IN REBELLION.

Eighth United States Cavalry Or

Dispatches from South McAlester, Che
cOtah, Eufala and other points in the In
dian country indicate that the Snake
band of the Greek Indian nation has sue
ceeded in spreading rebellion throughout
the Five Nations and that a general up
rising throughout the territory of full
bloods who are opposed TO progressive
government is to be feared.
More United States troops will be ask
ed for, as it is thought the one troop at
Wetunpka will not be strong enough to
cope with the Indians. 1t is estimated
that 1000 full-bloods are under arms.
The whole country is excited and under
arms. Whites and peaceable Indians are
organizing for mutual protection. lso-
lated squatters are fleeing to towns for
greater safety.
