COUNTY NOTES.

The session OF the County Court to.
day was occupied 10 the trial of the
case OF the Commonwealth vs.. Walter
Turner, colored, indicted yesterday for
rape and robbery.
At the adjourned meeting Of the
County Supervisors last week the
bills for 1927 for vaccinaiing 2s7 per-
sons was reduced one-hali before pay
msnt was ordered. The other bills
were approved as presented. The
scare has cost the county about $500.
DR.. Corbett stated that this might seem
to the citizens of the county like the
expenditure of great deal of money,
but In his opinion the county was ir-
decd fortunate In getting oil with so lit
tie expense-the disease having been
absted.
Mr.. Frank Lyon appeared before
the board and presented resolutions ad.
vocsting the repeal of the law taxing
deeds OF trust, etc. The resolution was
adopted and copies of the same ordered
to be sent to the county's represents
tives in the Virginia State Legislature
for their support. Mr.. Lyon will be
sent to Richmond to urge the Lsgisa-
ture to repeal the law governing the
appointment Of an acting Common
wealth Attorney for the county. Un-
der the present law, which applies TO
Alexandris county alone. the judge OF
the County Court can only name the
person recommended by the Common
wealth Attorney. This takes power
from the Judge which evidently belongs
to him and the people want the change
made. 1t Is said that when the mess-
ure Was passed 1t was not properly pre-
sented to Mr.. Hume, the representa-
tive OF the county in the legislature,
and 1t is believed that he will now have
the law repealed to meet the desire OF
his constituents.
At the grand jury term Of the County
Court yesterday Judge Love read the
following clipping from Washington
newspaper 10 reference to an alleged
prizs6ght which recently took place in
the county: "There was boxing coz
test arranged for Wednesday evening
between two young Georgetown resi-
dents named Hazel and HUH. for q
purse contributed by friends. The
fight was to have taken place at a club
headquarters on Water street, but the
police got wind OF the sffsir, and the
fighters and hackers were afraid to pull
of the contest. The entire party adj
journed to Lawler's saloon, 10 Rosslyp,
where the fight took place, being wit
messed by about $50 local sports. Huh
was knocked out in the third round,
the fight being against him from the
start" The Judge, after reading the
article, stated that he did not propose
to have any prize6ghtiug carried on in
the county, and he instructed the grand
jury to secure evidence against all wto
participated in the sffsir and he would
have them brought before the grand
| Jury and indicted for the offence. The
grand jury will meet tomorrow.

THE local notice in yesterdays Ga
zs,ts to the effect that Col. John Mos
by. now of San Franci:co, will soon
visit this city, suggests the idea that as
Virginia Senator'S aud Representatives
whom their people delight to honor,
voted to increase the rank and pay OF
the man who chained President Davis
to the floor of prison, and OF the one
who sIandered him 10 an official die
patch to the War Department. the
Colonel might well be forgiven, by the
same people, for having voted for Gen.

Correspondence OF the Atexhnulia uasosso'J
Washington. January 30.
President Mckinley and bis advisors
discussed the necessity Of an extra seq
sion of Congress at considerable length
today during the Cabinet meeting.
All the members are agreed that unless
Congress gets down to hard continuous
work and quits talking an extra ses.
sion cannot we'll be avoided. The
President and the Cabinet have not
given up the hope, however, that the
important matters on the calendar can
vet be hustled through and business
wound up by inauguration day. Ii the
necessity for such q session should arise
the President will undoubtedly be
obliged to abandon his visit to the Pa
cifc coast to be present at the launch
ing Of the battleship Ohio. He has
given his promise to visit many cities
on his way going or coming from San
Francisco and intends leaving Wash.
iDgton on May /, but II Congress IL In
extra session it is almost a foregone
conclusion that the members will still
be talking at that date and long after 1t.
The question of calling an extra ses'
sion OF Congress has taken on some.
thing OF the aspect of contest between
enc leaders OF the Senate and House
The Senators are either for an extra
session or are apsthetic. The Repre-
sentstives are fighting the idea with
more bitterness than they have dis
played over any matter since the Por
20 Ricsn tariff question disturbed theil
serenity. Senator Fairbanks, of lodi
ana. held long consultation with thu
President this morning and when b
came out said that an extra session
seemed unavoidable. "The trend o
events seeus to be decidedly that way,
ne said. Everyday the coming ne
cessity for one is more apparent.

of the majority, was inclined to criticize
enc Senate for whatever talk there
about the question. IAN the delay

THE SPEECH of Mr.. Towne In the
U. s. Senate yesterday was a very long
one, but those who have time to read
it, il uuprejudicsd. will be convinced
that the war this country is making
upon the Philippine Islands is as un'
warranted, unprovoked, cruel and
criminal as was ever prosecuted by a
strong nation upon weaker one. There
must be sins, but woe to those by

THE VATICAN RENOWNED.

A dispatch from Manila says: After
mature elaboration 10000 Catholic
members of the Federal party, citizens
of the district OF Binondo aud Manila,
the headquarters Of the spirit OF the
party, have resolved to separate com.
pletely from the Vatican, believing that
the doctrines OF Rome are detrimental
to the progress of the country. Those
fsyoring middle course proposed the
formation Of Filipino synod and the
throwing off OF spiritual tutelage. A
majority, however, joined the extrem.
lists in demanding complete emancipa-
ton from Rome, leaving the question
OF q new church to be decided later.
The real trouble that Is causing the
threatened schism does no. lie
with the church, which Ia sincerely
loved, but with the friars, whose
return to the provinces, backed by
Archbishop Chspelle, is the cause
of constant agitation among the
Fllipiuos, who are rapidly absorbing
liberal ideas. So much has been writ.
