adoption Of the Cuban constitution Many
Senators and Representatives who have
not been taken into the Presidents con
1denCe. have been actively denying that
an extra session is contemplated, claim
ing that the reports IS TO the Presidents
intentions are born Of a desire 10 force
action on the Subsidy bill
The President is said 10 be IMPRESSED
with the importance Of having an extra
session and the suggestion that one be
called IS alleged 10 have originated with
him He said today 20 the Senator above
quoted who pointed out that a session in
The spring would interfere with Senator's
private plans. that nobody would be more
lnconyenleuced by having the new Con
gTess called together than himself but
that this consideration would weigh little
IN The face Of great public duty.
In discussing The probability Of IN ex-
ira session Senator AcCOmss says that
be regards such q call as more probable
than otherwise He pointed out that
great deal Of legislation viii remain with
cut action al the close Of tEis session. II
the Shipping bill is not passed there viii
be that bill the Nicaragua Canal bill. the
-PaUlCefOte Treaty. possibly the Gu
ban question. and. above ALL the Philip
pine question.
Senator McC0mas regards the latter
problem IS sufficient 10 necessitate an ex-
ira session as there IS little chance Of
anything being done On that line this win
ter He thought The time Eas arrived
when It becomes necessary 20 take some
steps toward legislating for the islands IN
der cur control in The Pacific. and as It
would require ,-cGe for consideration he
thought il impossible 10 secure such leg
islation at this session He believed the

The President does not desire an extra
session, Il is said. but doubts if the pub

sion
In my judgment, there viii be no extra
session OF Congress to IegisIate for the

il is highly improper and a breach Of
etiquette to hold memorial services for
Queen Victoria before the burial. and has
declined inyit4tic1s TO be present az the
proposed services.
FROM the consular Office in the Pullman
Building has been issued an announcement
expressing the hope that so far as pos
sibIe all memorial ser ices IN this city
would be deferred until the tine Of the
actual burial OF the late Queen Il was
Inuimated that etiquette. as understood in
the courts Of Europe, forbade the holding
OF memorial exercises previous 10 burial
When the promoters Of the memorial
services for yesterday learned that 4 point
of etiquette had been raised through the
British Consulate. they Considered that the
point as TO violation Of etiquette was well
taken, but that il was at best techni-
csIity that should not be allowed 10 inter-
fere with the voluntary tribute Of a great
people TO the memory q a great ruler OF
a friendly Power.
