NO EXTRA SESSION.
President Mckinley Will Not Call
CONGRESS Together.

Washington, June 5.-The president
and cabinet unanimously decided that
existing conditions do not warrant the
calling of an extra session of congress
this summer. Secretary Root and At
torney General Knox both rendered le-
gal opinions to the effect that the au-
thority to govern the Philippines
vested in the president by the Spoon
er amendment was ample. These
amendments were cOncurred in by all
the members of the cabinet. There
will be no change in the policy to be
pursued in the Philippines.
Inside information concerning the
action of the Cuban convention on the
Plat amendment has just been re-
ceived in Washington. II appears that
the first draft of the amendment, as
interpreted by the majority of the
committee on relations with the Unit
ed States, was submitted to Gen.
Wood and by him sent to Washington.
This draft was approved by Secretary
Root and his approval was made
known to the Cuban convention. When
the matter came up for discussion,
however, it was found that there were
a number of delegates whose votes
could only be obtained by the extend
ed alterations, amendments and inter
pretations. which finally were adopted
by the convention and rejected by Sec
rotary Root.

Cabinet Conclusions.

Washington, June 5.-The supreme
court decisions as viewed by the adj
ministration settles, first, that the
Foraker act is constitutional: second.
that the collection of duties on Porto
Rican products between the time of
the cession Of the island of Porto Rico
and the passage of the Foraker act
was illegal and must be refunded.
These are held to be the main essen
tial points of the decisions. Nothing
in them is construed to apply to the
tariff situation as between the United
States and the Philippines. The con-
illusions of the cabinet are not based
on any knowledge as to the prospec-
tive Philippine decision of the supreme
court. though it is declared there is
little apprehension as to the findings
of that decision. If the present sys-
TEN is upset in that decision, which is
not anticipated, there will be little
difficulty, it is believed, in refunding
the amounts meantime collected under
protest.

Some Court House Information.

So many have asked the question
that a reporter collared Mel Fronk
and passed it on to him, as to the flu
ture of the court house. Aud Mel says
When the commissioners meet in
August for the regular levy they will
add on the q mills for thecourt house.
AS this years personal valuation will
be lower and the real property higher
the total amount of taxable property
in the county will probably be about
the same as last year. So he figures
that the q mill levy will raise about
S14, 900. The first of this money will
come in when the first half of the taxes
are paid next December 20, 1901. The
second half in June 20, 1902. In 100:

A HOrseman's Luck

Pittsburg Headlight: Frank Harl-

made and lost two fortunes on the
track and turf, is again well up on
the ladder towards the third fortune.
He owns an interest in "Joe Bell" of
Memphis, Tenn, the horse which has
so recently startled the race horse
owners in all parts of the country by
his splendid record on the track.
"Joe Bell" has put in two seasons
prior to this and his record was never
at an encouraging point, but this sea-
son, according to the turf columns in
the metropolitan dailies, they are
something wonderful. An offer of
S., 600 has been made for Joe Bell"
by Corrigan, but it was refused and at
the same time, six months ago either
one of the owners would have let go
for $50 each. Mr.. Harlan has recent
ly come into possession of three good
hores, all corners, and owns two at
the Forest Park stables in this city,
and he will enter them all here for the
season of summer amusements.

ness House That Size.

Time was when rats disputed with
bats for sole possession Of the second
floors of the two story buildings in

and honey upon which lola people
have been feeding. Now the era of
three story bricks is upon us and it is
we'll.

the city council for permissionto move
the old shack on the east side next to
Harry Bragg's carriage house onto
the lot next south. On the lot thus
vacated he will Immediately begin
the erection of a three-story brick
business house which will be eighty
feet long. The first floor he intends
to occupy with an enlarged stock of
furniture and musical instruments.
The second floor will be divided in to
front Office rooms and the back into a
rooming house. The third floor will
contain two Offices at the front while
the back sixty feet will be covered at
the top and sides with glass and will
be fitted up as a roof garden, Mr..
Cofey says he will let the contract as
soon as the council grants his permit,
the old building can be moved and the
plans received from MIR. Anderson,
the architect who has been drawing
them.
The new building will be an orna-
ment to the east side and start that
block off on its right foot in the gen
eral march of progress.
