There is renewed talk today about the prospect of an extra session. Repre- sentative Babcock professes to believe it will come and that its business will be to revise the tariff. Daizeli. the high tariff leader. Is combating the notion. saying that the country is sat- isfied and showed it by the election.
 Certain visitors to the white House reports that the President listens att tentively to all that is said for and against an extra session and wfthhold1 any comment whatever This Is taken by the friends of tarin revision to mean that he intends to take his own way and having no future political as es to grind will join in the de- mand for some measure of reform of the tariff schedules.
 4 well known Democratic newspaper man. and for many years corresponds ent here. said today: T believe Roose- velt Is going to be master of his party during the remainder of his tenure of office. and that he will see to revision of the tariff. Moreover. believe that. feeling keeniy the antiquities which have been exerted over the South and among Southern people. he is going ta do something to win over the South before he quits ofiice.
 President Coming South.
 He Is going to visit the South. he Go going to Georgia and to Texas. do not believe he has any idea cf permit ting reduction of Southern represents alton while he Is President.
 On this point another view Is that President Roosevelt regards the reduc- ton notion as sort of dessrtion ok ef. L. fk f.s&s ally admit that the States had a right to curtail suffrage and eliminate the negro vote. The President has been heard to say something to that effect when the Crumpacker scheme was mem ttosled- to- hi,n. & Ss, #
 In short. it fs wonderful the nurnbcr of conflicting opinions that daily are brought away from the White House by the visitors and 1t Is equally strange to note how deeply convinced they severally are in their respective notions as to what the President means to do on vital questions.
 say that among the changes that will come about with the making of the Cabinet of the Roosevelt administra- tion of the fourth of March next will be an exchange of places between Postmaster General Robt J Wynne and the United States Consul General at London. H. Clay Evans of Tennes- see. This disposes of tho general no- ton that George B Cortelyou. the chairman of the Republican National Committee. Is to take the postal affairs pcrtfoiio for 1t is said with this ar rangement Mir Cortelyou will succeed Leslie M. Shaw as Secretary of the Treasury. Mir. Shaw will retire to Iowa.
 MT. Oortelyous wonderful financing of the Republican campaign has com- mcnded him very generally with the people who have large dealing with the Treasury Department.
 Evans WHI be Qualified.
 1T. Clay Evans. before he was com- missioner of pensions. preceding the incumbency of the Kansas Poet Lau- reate, Eugene Ware, who is soon to re- tern to the scene of his early inspir- ations, was firt assistant postmasker general, having been appointed by President Harrison and is presumed to be familiar with the affairs of the post office department.
 He has two very attractive daugh- ters who have been made much of in London life and 1t is expected that they will greatly relish the change again to the topmost social swim In Washington.
 Hunter Arnold. superintendent of rural free delivery, with headquarters at Ashevllla. N. C., was summarily dismissed today by Postmaster Gener- al wynne. The complaint lodged against the federal oficer was that he had written a sentimental letter to the wife of a colored minister in the vicinity. Arnold. who Is a white man. when called upon for an explanation by the department said that the letter was intended for wite woman living in Asheviile, but by some oversight on his part it had been misdirected. The department refused to accept the ex- plantation.
 Among the Southern congressmeu in the city today are Senators Culber- son and Bailey of Texas, Representa- lives Livingston of Georgia and Sims | of Tennessee. Neiter of the senators would consent to talk about the ra- only said "A thousand of brick fell upon us but where on earth did It come from?" MT. Sims said he thought the policy of Southern mem bers should be quiescent in the fifty- ninth congress until the safety and peace of social conditions in the South should be menanced by the Crumpack-
 CT or any other policy. Until then ne
 was opposed to saying anything aoout
 the race question. -
