An Extra Session Of Congress.
Oyster Bay, Aug. 13-Senators
Aldrich, Allison, Spooner and Platt,
of Connecticue, left Sycamore Hill
today, after consulting the President
over features of the currency bill to
be submitted to congress next fall.
One important fact developed was
that the extraordinary session of
congress is likely to be called in
October instead of November 9. The
primary purpose of the session will
be to enact legislation making ope-
rative the Cuban reciprocity treaty,
but financial legislation will be
pressed upon the attention of con-
gress soon after that body convenes.

New Haven, Conn, December 10
In order to guard the rights of the
possible children Of an eight year old,
Judge Livingston w. Cleveland in the
probate court today reserved his de-
cision on the petition of parties in
tertested in the estate of the late mill
lionaire Henry B. Plant, asking the
court to declare New York instead of
New Haven to have been the place of
Mr. Plants legal residence at the
time of his death in New York in
1899.
BY the terms Of Mr.. Plants will,
the major portion of his estate, which
amounted to his death to $17,000,00O,
was to be kept intact for several de-
cades and be given in full to the
children of the infant grandson,
Henry Bradley Plant, its value by that
time, being estimated at $S0,0O0,000.

much litigation in the courts, that
New Haven was Mr.. Plants legal
residence and united with executors
of the will, Morton P. Plant and
George H. Tilley, of New York, in
asking the court to proclaim New
York to be his residence. The New
York supreme court has already de-
cided that Mr.. Plants residence was
in New York city, but heretofore the
Hoadley heirs have endeavored 70
keep the administration of the estate
in Connecticut and have contested it's
removal to the New York courts juris-
diction.
In the statements made by the sew
eral attorneys today it appeared that
the parties in interest had agreed to
accept a decree recognizing the valid
ity of the New York courts decision
and making the administration Of the
estate in Connecticut, ancillary to that
in New York, but the terms of the
agreement were not mentioned.
In response to an inquiry from the
court for more light on the matter
of the rights of the unborn, the at
torneys set forth that legal notice
had been given all persons who could
| in any way have an interest in the
estate. including the grand son, ano
that such legal service was all that
could be given.
The court reserved decision, saying
that 1t wished to give careful consid-
Grafton to the matter of the rights OF
the unborn and also to determin.
whether the probate courts of Con
necticut are bound by a decision of g
court of general jurisdiction in an
other State.
It is said that one of the results o.

transfer of administration to New
