EXTRA SESSION IN MARYLAND.
Democrats Planning to Disfranchise
the Negro Vote.


BALTIMORE, Md, January 21.-Demo-
cratic leaders il Maryland are importuning
Gov. Smith to call an extra session Of the
general assembly, in order to so modify
the ballot law as to result in the practical
Acknowledgement Of large proportion Of
the colored vote, and the probabilities now
are that the governor will accede to the
demand of his party associates. The dem
ocrats have large majority in the house
and majority Of one in the senate in the
present general assembly. They fear that
In case the ballot law is not amended so as
to disfranchi5e the negroes the republicans
will carry the city election in May and the
state election next fall. the last election
having gone republican by 1900. Politi-
clans have been besieging Gov. Smith ever
since last November to seize the opportun-
ity while his party controls the general as
sembly. and. by changing the ballot law,
destroy any chance of republican success
In the future.
Speaker Lloyd Wilkinson of the house of
delegates, who Is In town today. told The
Star correspondent that he believed the
governor would issue the necessary call for
the general assembly and that the ballot
law would be amended as desired by the
party leaders. State Senator Peter of
Howard county also told The Star corre-
spondent that he felt confident the general
assembly would be called together. and the
negro Acknowledgement act passed. Under
the constitution of the state the extra ses-
sion can last only thirty days. but during
that time the body can transact any bus
mess that majority may determine upon,
and 1T Is probable other laws besides that
DISTINGUISHING the negro may be consid-
cred. Among these will be one providing
for new sewer system in Baltimore.

rH1RTY-NINE TARDY CLERKS.
Considering Stringent Regulations
in the Treasury Department.

Considering Stringent Regulations
in the Treasury Department.
The Treasury Department is understood
to have under consideration a circular to
the chiefs Of division and other officials d.
recting the enforcement Of stringent regu-
lations as to tardy clerks. In what form
this circular will go out, or whether it will
go out at all, are matters not yet deter
mined
The time Of arrival of all clerks was
taken by the watchmen Of the treasury at
the different doors this morning. All clerks
who arrived at 8 o'clock or after were de.
tanned, and their names and room taken.
They will have to give an explanation of
their hardness.
The record, however, Is better than when
the same thing was done about week
ago. This morning only thirty-nine clerks
out Of nearly 1900 were late. When the
time was taken last week the number late
was 116.
At intervals since the abolition of time
clocks the time of the arriving clerks has
been taken by the watchmen, but the sys-
tenn was not kept up with any purpose in
view, and was begun again last week.
Secretary Gage Is said to hold that clerk
should be at his desk at O'clock and not
be coming in the doors at that hour.

GOVERNMENT COULD DO IT.
POstafs President Says II Could Con-
duct the Telegraph business
AcceptabIy.

washington. March 5.-Mr. A. B.
Chandler of New York president of the
Postal Telegraph Company, to-day testi-
fed before the industrial commission upon
the condition of the telegraph lines in
this country. lie said that during the
past year the Postal had transmitted 16
C2S, ,4i4 messages. He said that since 1888
there has been an agreement between
The Postal and Western Union Telegraph
Companies under which both companies
have practically the same scale of
rates. The witness stated that
the telegraph companies are now endeav
oring to extend the same rate over as
much territory as the efficiency of the
service will permit in order to bring the
system of rates more toward uniformity.
He thought that the rates in the United
States were lower than those fixed in for
eign countries. @
In his opinion the United States govern
ment could conduct the telegraph accept
ably to the public and because of the alb
sence of the necessity to make dividends
the government could probably operate
the telegraph a little cheaper.

THE CUBAN DELEGATES.
Amendment Informally Discussed,
but No Conclusion Rcnched.

Havana, March 5.-The Cuban amend
ment to the army appropriation bill has
been forwarded to the Constitutional
Convention by Gen. Wood, and 1t was In
formally discussed this afternon by a
large number of delegates. Gen. San
gully and Senior Alemen contended that
the amendment had become law, and that
President Mckinley could do nothing
other than enforce It, They declared
that the suggestions from the convention
had been ignored, that the only manly
thing for the delegates to do was to dis
solve and to let the United States call
another convention.
Senor Juan Gualberto Gomez. although
radically opposed to the amendment, said
he did not believe IL was the final deci-
sion of the United States regarding the
future attitude of the government to-
wards Cuba He thought the convent ion
should discuss the amendment and return
1t to Gen. Wood with a careful opinion.
as II was possible that President McKin-
ley would call an extra session In the
hope OF bringing about a compromise.
A majority of the delegates favor off,
cial action by the convention regarding
the amendment, and the question will be
decided tomorrow.
