NO EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS.
One When the Vice President
ceeds the Presidency misunderstanding Of the Law

The act Of the Forty-ninth Congress,
January 10. 1856, which fixed the order Of
presidential succession. provides that in
case of the death Of both President and
Vice President. the Secretary Of State and
following down in order. other Cabinet of
ficers shall succeed to the presidency.
And in that case. namely. the death Of
President and Vice President. the Cabinet
officer so succeeding shall call Congress to
assemble within twenty days. But this
provision for special session OF Congress
is only to meet the emergency caused by
death Of both President and Vice Presi.
dent.
When the Vice President succeeds. under
the Constitution. there is no requirement.
for a special session Of Congress.
President Roosevelt may call q special
session Of the Senate only, and It IS ex-
pected that he will do SO. But It is very
improbable that there will be an extra ses-
sion Of both houses.

that exchange would meet only for the pur-
pose of adopting resolutions.
The Presidents visit to the Merchants
Exchange upon the occasion of his last vis-
it to st. Louis was the first presidential vis-
it to it since the time of Garfield. and his
visit to the St. Louis Stock Exchange was
the first visit ever paid that institution by
President.
Upon entering the Merchants Exchange
building the President remarked:
This is one Of the most magnificent

The Presidents reception at this time was
most impressive. and his visit was the oc-

exchange. Previously Admiral Dewey and
Minister WI Ting Fang were received
there. but the meetings were not SO large
as when the President paid his visit.

Washington. Sept. 1s-There appears to
be a good deal of misunderstanding as to
the necessity for an extra session Of Con-
gress, following the accession Of President
Roosevelt.
Many members Of the House believe that
1t will be incumbent upon President Roose-
Welt to call Congress together within twenty
days from his being sworn into Office. This
is mistake. e..
The Constitution provides that: I'm case
of the removal Of the President from Office
or Of his death. resignation or inability to
discharge the powers and duties Of the said
Office. the same shall devolve on the Vice
President. and the Congress may by law
provide for the case Of removal. death. res

A M'KlNLEY STATUE.

We hope the Mckinley monument
project will crystalline into subscrip-
ton large enough to pay for work
of art which will testify as we'll to the
good taste as to the patriotism Of the
people of Honolulu.
In this matter the Governor has taken
the initiative and meeting of those in
terested will occur this morning.
The monument ought to be built.
Mckinley was Hawaii's first American
President. Other parts of the Union
may date from Washington or Jefferson
or Lincoln or Grant, but this part dates
from Mckinley. Hawaii owes the
lamented statesman much and has
profited by his policy and example; it
owes America more and, with all it's
wealth, has paid no sculptural tribute
to great Americans and but little to its
own domestic leaders. We may well
break the continuity of neglect by set
ting up in some public place a figure of
Mckinley worthy of the man and of
these Islands.

TRIBUTE TO9A'KlNLEY.

Editor Advertiser: Not having seen
in its entirety, in our local press, a
short poem appearing in the London
Times during the King Alfred Millen-
airy Commemoration, may 1 ask place
for it in your columns.
Speaking on the occasion of the above
mentioned celebration Sir Henry Irv-
ing closed with the following words
May 1 add that all that race which
looks on King Alfreds memory as a
common heritage is in bitter grief for
one whom tomorrow a mourning ma
ton is to lay to rest. President Nc
Kinley was at once avatar and emblem
Of noble purpose, high thought, and
patriotism. He, like his predecessor of
a thousand years ago, though he work.
ed Immediately for his own country,
worked for all the world and his
memory shall be green for ever in the
hearts of a loyal and expansive race
in the hearts of all English speaking
people"
The poem above alluded to reads as
follows:
AVE ATQUE VALE.
l disc VIC IIlS iectu. WHERE once his grave
Received to peace the Saxon king.
Do honor to the wise and brave,
And let the worldwide nation sing
The memory of a thousand years
Then hush! and think of others tears!
Beyond the western sea they fall
From eyes that yet with joy beheld
The kingly ancestor of all,
The glory of the years of old;
But, Ger tn Atlantic waterways.
a mist of sorrow dims their gaze.
Again, within his city's bound
Truth-teller Alfred stands in fame
Beyond the sea, mournful sound
Re-echoes to the glad acclaim:
We listen to the passing-bell-
True child of Washington, farewell!
Up with our hearts, and over sea
Swift be the word of FRIENDSHIP, sped
You praise our hero-k:ng. and We
Lament with you your patriot dead:
In sorrows name, one boon We crave
Lay England's wreath upon his grave

Athletics are booming when the only
available grounds in the city are made
the scene of two games each of base
ball and football. Following the GUS
tom which has come with time football
is having it's day and it is a question
if it would not be wisdom for the base
ball men to allow their sport to rest
awhile and give the devotees of sports
a chance to concentrate their interest
upon the pigskin to the exclusion of the
horsehide With the Association Base
ball League season coming on there
seems further reason for combining at
tention to the kickers rather than the
batters.
It appears that nothing will be done
for the present to Americanize the
Episcopal church in these Islands. In
other insular countries under the flag
the Episcopate has assumed jurisdic-
ton; here the case is treated different
ly. 1t would appear that the Conven
ton hesitates to take the See with the
Bishop, which is his proposal, thereby
mourning the cost of maintenance; and
it also hesitates, very naturally, to cut
him loose from a service which has oc
cupied him for a quarter Of century.
This dilemma has led to a waiting at
titude, by which the convention ap-
parently conveys the hope that the
trouble in the church may be amicably
adjusted on the ground.

The visiting Jesuit priests have un-
doubtedly, in the course of their mis-
siona contributed very much to a bet
ter understanding of the basis Of Catho-
lie faith and doctrine. Those who are
unconvinced credit the priests with
power as Iogicians and with abundant
fairness of spirit. The sermons of
Fathers Boarman and Megevney and
the mental attitude towards the two
priests of stanch Professionalism US say
also. their own mental attitude towards
such Professionalism pleasing signs of
the steady growth of tolerance among
all Christian people. There has been
a marked change in these respects since
the Congress of Religions at Chicago
and as time goes on and Catholic and
Protestant hear each others reasons.
Diminishing all polemical debate, the
world will roll visibly nearer to its
promised millennial peace.

Policy would suggest no ransom for

humanity has won and the State De-

that other people are now pretty sure
to be caught and held for ransom Is the
unpleasant feature of the case but both
the Government and the missionary
bodies have concluded to take the
chances.

A DOCTOR THIS TIME.

Portland. May 6.-Dr. E. A. Rose,
a practicing physician, formerly of
Yates Center, Kan, was on what
everyone supposed was his death bed.
He had Diabetes, and six of his brother
doctors were in attendance and con-
sultation at his bedside. They had
done everything that medical skill
could suggest to save his life, but they
were at last reluctantly forced to tell
him that he must prepare for death.
His aunt had been summoned to his
dying bedside. After the doctors had
given her nephew up, she insisted that
as a last resort, he be given a treat
ment of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
From the very first dose, the tide
turned in his favor. His life was saved,
and he is hale and hearty to-day.
This case and it's cur has amazed
the physicians, and Is the sensation of
the hour. It is interesting to note
that while many others are being
cured by this great discovery in medi-
cine. the physicians themselves are
among the first to benefit, and that
while the simpler and more prevalent
forms, such as rheumatism, Sciatica.
Bladder and Urinary Trouble and Fee
male Weakness disappear before it.
the more malignant forms, such as
Bright's Disease, Diabetes and Dropsy.
which have always been regarded al
~incurable, are yielding just as easily.
Dodd's Kidney Pills r fast super
seding all other treatments for Kidney
Disease, and as nearly all human sick
ness and suffering has its origin IN the
Kidneys, the use OF this wonderful
medicine is becoming almost universal.
