Too full for sound and foam,

Turns again home.

The Extra Session

The president is considering the
date for which to call the extra
session of congress. The message
which he viii write, it is stated, will
deal solely probably, with the Cuban
reciprocity matter Congress already
having committed itself on this
question, numerous leaders who here
tofore opposed the measure are now
stating in interviews that the con-
ditions have changed, that good
faith now requires legislative action
and that there will be no factional
opposition. The senate, having rati-
fled the treaty with Cuba, the ques-
tion Of putting into effect the obliga-
cations Of the treaty by proper legis-
lation is the one with which the
special session must deal, and it is
stated that this ought not to be done
in any factional spirit, nor should
selfish interests control.

Unless Paid by March Will Seize All
Towns in Cuba.

A special to the New York Tribune from
Havana, dated January Is. says: The
question of paying the revolutionary army
has become of almost equal Importance
here to the reciprocity treaty. Former
members Of the Cuban army are becoming
restless; in fact. they are beginning to
threaten the government that II not paid
by March they will act. A general OF the
insurgent army handed to the Tribune cor
respondent today a printed manifesto which
Ia most incendiary in tone. 1t is addressed
to the country and to the powers. Among
other things it says
.'The obliga ton Of the government to pay
the army Is a sacred one. The Hberating
troops have waited patiently, but every
thing has limit. The Hberating army will
not wait later than March for the compile
ton of the work fer the payment OF the
soldiers We will not be further put off by
, the pretext that rel Vision OF the army lists
necessita ties delay nor VIII we accept any
other delay 5rrHe IEberatfhg army i3 dis
nosed to CALI the attention of Europe, pa,
cifically but enargeticaHy, that We do not
care for interior disturbances if no longer
time Is asked to 1paN us than March; but,
il the contrary,pthe army VIII reunite and
occupy every town ofrom Point Maisi to
Cape San Antonio. practically, we repeat"
This circular rs regarded as direct
threat to REVOLT although officials express
doubts of such probability. 1t is known,
however. that several prominent generals
are behind the movement. Such measures
will hardly be necessary. though, as the
government will pay the army immediately
on the negotia tf5n a the loan of 81. ssoo, $50
which will be made M April Several Amer
lean syndica tesiha offered to take the
loan.

they were strong competitors. they came
to be the best Of friends. They met at a
hotel in Raleigh, N. c., one night. and con-

tended to work the same towns on one Of
the roads leading out Of Raleigh the next
day. Both counted on working four towns
before sunset.
It was in summer time. and neither man
was anxious for contest of wits, so when
Moore proposed community of interests
Benson eagerly accepted his proposition
There were seven towns. and they each
took three. agreeing to meet at the seventh
after the days work was over. When they
reached the seventh town they put up to-
gether in the same room at the leading. ho-
tel Each had done good days business,
but in. order to keep in practice they decided
to fight It out over the business In this
town the next morning.
They went to sleep Joking each other
about the fight of the next day. Benson
was very heavy sleeper. but Moore prom
ised to wake him at an early hour. He did
not keep his promise. Benson awoke at
locked tight. BY the time he was able to
get out and downtown Moore had sold to
every merchant in the place and caught the

on the gulf coast. and a shotgun quarantine
had been established in southern Alabama.
Benson landed in one Of the best towns.
