NO EXTRA SESSION.
Cabinet Decides That Existing Cir
cumstances Do Not Warrant the
Convening of Congress.

Washington, June 5.-The cabinet
Tuesday unanimously decided that ex-
listing conditions do not warrant the
calling of an extra session of congress
this summer. Secretary Root and At
torney General Knox both rendered
legal opinions to the effect that the
authority to govern the Philippines
vested in the president by the Spooner
amendment was ample. These opin-
ions were concurred in by all the
members of the cabinet.
About the first of next month full
civil government will be set up in
the Philippine islands, exactly as pro-
iected by the Philippine commission.
AS soon after that date as an admin
istrative machinery can be made
ready for it the new Philippine tariff
will be proclaimed, also following out
the original plan formed before the
announcement of the decisions of the
supreme court last week.

Washington, June S.-A cablegram
was received at the war department
Yesterday from Gen. Macarthur, at
Manila, announcing that all the volun-
teers have left the Philippines, en-
route for the United States. Gen. Mac
Arthur will probably sail for home in
July on the transport Sumner, which
will be fitted up for his use. He will
return to the United States by way
of Japan and the Pacific ocean,.
States Terms of Surrender.
Manila, June S.-Senor Dancel, the

who has been trying to induce Cen

talking with the rebel chieftain for
eight days. Senior Dancel brought a
long document from Gen. Cables to

Taft to Be Governor.
Washington, June S.-When Judge
Taft, of the Philippine commission, be-
comes the head of the civil government
in the Philippine islands he will have
the title of governor. While it is eX-
pected that he will become governor
of the Philippines about the first of
July, there may be some delay, as the
civil governmental machinery may not
be ready at that date. Both Judge Taft
and Gen. Macarthur have informed the
secretary of war that July was as
early as the proposed civil government
could be put in operation, and as nei-
Their have made any modification of
their views it is presumed that they
still are of that opinion.
Grant on Aguinaldo.
New York, June Seen. Frederick
Dent Grant was given a reception last
night by the U. S. Grant post, G. A. R.
In brief address Gen. Grant said:
"Aguinaldo was not as much of a cap
ture in the Philippines as he seems to
have been here. To tell the truth he had
lost about all his influence. We do not
treat him as If We considered him of some
Importance. We cannot kill him, of course.
but we want to make him feel that he
stands on the same footing with any other
Filipino.
eff we should fine him ten dollars and
send him to jail for 80 days, and. set him
to breaking rock, it would be better for
him and for ourselves. If, when he comes
over here, we treat him with contempt
he will be treated with contempt by the
natives when he goes home But if over
there they get the idea that we have a
high idea of Aguinal6o's Importance when
he gets back he will have a following
which will make us trouble"

The society people and newspapers
of India have been seeking to ascer-
tain the origin of the term "grass
widow" and considerable amount of
research has been directed to the sub
ject. So far the inquiries made have
succeeded in tracing the word back
to the year 1914, when it was used in
the Calcutta Review. In the opinion
of qualified philologists the term is a
corruption of the much older one,
"grace widow" This is derived from
"vidua de gratia," which may be in
terpreted literally as "widow by ia
yor."
