No Extra Sc sion ID the Spring.

No extraordinary session of Congress
will be held next spring for revision
Of the tariff. That has been decided
definitely. The question of an extraor-
binary session next fall is in allegiance.
President Roosevelt announced this
decision to several OF his callers.
The President said he had abandoned
any idea OF calling Congress into ex-
traordnary session in the spring, as it
did not seem practicable TO hold ses-
sion for tariff revision at that time. He
indicated, however, that he might call
a session for next fall, although no abb
solute determination OF that point has
yet been reached.
In view of this decision, the President
told Representative Cooper, of Texas,
that he had decided TO make Southern
trip early next spring.
w. S. Tibbetts, collector of customs at
Mobile, Ala, invited the President to
visit that city on his Southern trip. La
ter the invitation will be extended for

Line After Line SWept Away.

Headquarters of the Japanese Third
Army Before Port Arthur. November
% (via. Tientsin, December o).-The
general assault on Port Arthur which
began at noon November 20 is still in
progress. In the first series of assaults
an attempt was made to capture the
forts at Rihlung and Kekwan Noun
talns by penetrating the principal line
OF fortihcations surrounding them, and
to envelope the city from the east. At
the same time a strong force pushed
up the gorge of Shiski Valley between
two fortified ridges and attacked the
supporting fort in the rear of West
Rihlung Mountain, officially called Sung
shu Mountain, with the intention of en-
veloping the city from the west.
The attempt failed after the most flu
? rious fighting that has been witnessed
since Port Arthur was invested. The
hghting lasted from noon of November
20 until after dawn of the following day
without cessation.
The assault began in the early morn
ing with a tremendous bombardment OF
the forts on the western half of the
eastern fortified ridge by battery which
had been placed in position on the crest
OF ridge to the rear. For hours the
whole western half of the fortified ridge
was deluged with heavy shells. At
noon the principal line OF fortifcations
was perfect hell of bursting shrapnel,
and the spectacle was more wonderful
than anything previously seen.
The front lines of infantry, having
been strongly reinforced, began an at
tack simultaneously along the entire
line from East Kekwan Mountain to
West Rihlung Mountain.
Through the haze caused by the smoke
of the bursting shells the assaulters
could be seen emerging from the cover
OF the parallels, as well as swarming up
the fortified ridge at half dozen diff
fercnt points

1 dare say he sung a few lines while he
was reaching for this record No negro can
pick cotton without singing. Whenever
you see a negro pulling his sack up and
down cotton rows in silence you can bet
he is not doing much picking He may get
out of the field with 115, or may be POO

fire as picker of the staple
Singing is a part of the game, and when
you find negro who begins to sing and
holler as soon as he bends over the row
you may know thereby that you have
good hand. The negro as a rule works by
music. In no other line of activity Is the
fact so noticeable in the cotton patch
Here is where the negro must sing If he
would meet with any satisfactory measure
or success. 1t Is no loud, discordant howl
ing, either. 1t Is music, the like of which
you can not hear at any other place. or un-
der any other circumstances low soft
mum. dehcately intoned, rhythmic, mellow

planters who would not hire a negro cotton
picker unless he was satisfied that the ne
gro sang as he worked. 1t is a curious
thing that pickers of this type have more
time for the humorous bantering and Jaw

men who work in silence. The singing me-
gro does not work as hard, as a matter OF
fact as the silent negro. This is because
