NO EXTRA SESSION.
Many Reasons Urged on President
Against ~aII.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 15.-Not-
withstanding the more or less definite
announcement which has emanated
from various sources during the last
few months, congress may not be
called into extraordinary session next
November. Indeed, the indications are
now that no extraordinary session will
be held this year.
This statement is made on the au-
thority of President Roosevelt him
self. He has not decided definitely
yet and will probably not reach a de-
termination until he shall have re-
turned to Washington the latter part
Of September. The chances of an ex-
traordinary session appear, however,
TO be fading.
Strong pressure is being brought to
bear upon the president to induce him
rot to call an extra session. So much
interest has been manifested in the
subject throughout the country that
the president has received a large
number of letters regarding it. Many
senators and representatives have
urged against an extra session.

DOUKHABORS GO NAKED.
Men, Women and Youths Stand Naked
and UnaShameu.

Winnipeg, Man.-Another pilgrim
age in search of the Redeemer has
been instituted by Doukhabors and the
vanguard of the main body of modern
seekers of the holy grail arrived in
YOrkton, N. w. T., and stripped them
selves of every vestige of clothing,
which they piled in heap.
After a brief sort of funeral cere-
mony they set fire to the pile and
burned every stitch before the local
police could interfere. In the party
were 16 men, IS women and six youths
ana they stood in the twilight unclad
and unashamed. Sergeant Jungle of
the northwest mounted police, with a
posse of redcOats, surrounded the fan
atics and a fatigue party from the
police barracks shortly afterWard
brought up pile of rough clothing
and blankets, with which the imita-
tors of Adam and Eve were forced to
dress.
When this was accomplished the
hOrsemen herded their excited and
refractory charges together and drove
them to the courthouse, where they
await the decision of the bewildered
federal authorities, whose wards they
are.

Christiania, Norway, Aug 1.-THE
Norwegian people, in referendum

with Sweden with remarkable though
not unexpected unanimity. Of 100000
votes, 100000 cast ballots The differ
ence between the total number of
voters and the number of votes cast
is attributable to absentees, such as
sailors abroad and others who are out
of the country at present.
There were scenes of the greatest
enthusiasm everywhere. Thousands of
women who did not have the right of
franchise, signed petitions in the
streets indorsing the dissolution. In

''The result surpasses the most
sanguine expectations. The next Of

storthing meets on August 81, when
the result of the plebescite will be
communicated to Sweden through the
Swedish cabinet and the riksdag. The
storthing will repeat .ne request that
the riksdag declare the riksakt in op-
GRAFTON and the union dissolved. The
storthing will also express a willing
ness to negotiate concerning the de-
tails of the dissolution. 1t is the earn
est desire of Norway to conclude the
dissolution amicably. Norway will
never retract, but everything will be
done to meet the wishes of Sweden in
other directions.

kid" Goodman, the Boston boy, have
been matched for a 20 round go at the
S. A. A. c. in spokane, for September
8. The directors announce that Eddie
Quinn. matchmaker for the club. has
closed the arrangements and set the
date for the two little men to fight.
IN the selection of Neary and Good
man, Quinn has made wise choice.
The Boston boy is one of the most
clever little fellows in the business
and any man winning from him will
have to go a hard clip. Goodman is
managed by John Mooney, the young
promoter who handled Honey Melody.
Non-residents should write to Man
ager Quinn for seat reservations.

THE GREAT WARSHIP KANSAS.
Bottle of Kansas Water Is Used sin
ChriSteninu.

VnrISteninQ.
Philadelphla-The battleship Kan
sas, the largest war vessel ever built
in the east, was launched at 12.47 p.
m. Saturday at the yard of the New
York Shipbuilding company in Cam
den, N. j. The launching was witness
ed by Governor Hoch of Kansas,
whose daughter acted as sponsor for
the ship. Along with the governor
was christening party of 80 Kansans.
An unusual feature of the launch
ing was the fact that the vessel was
christened with water brought from
Kansas by Governor HOch instead of
the customary bottle of champagne.
This was the first time that water in
stead of wine has been used in launch
ing vessel in lnlS vicinity.
Governor Hoch of Kansas made the
suggestion and he made the announce
ment after the launching that the
christening bottle contained only wa
ter.
The Kansas is sister ship of the
Vermont.
The keel plates of the Kansas were
laid February 10, 1904. She is known
as a $50 foot battleship and her con-
tract calls for a maintenance of IS
knots speed for four consecutive
hours. Her armament will be: Main
battery, four IL inch, eight 8 inch,
twelve Z inch breech loading rifles;
secondary battery 20 three inch or
IA Founders, rapid fire guns, so caliber
in length; II three FOUNDER semiautO-
matte guns, six one FOUNDER auto
matics; two one FOUNDER semiautomat-
ic three inch fieldpieces, two machine
guns of 3 caliber. These guns will be
amply armor protected and well
placed.

Aside from the engineer. the men
killed on the passenger train, were all
riding in the smoking car and were
mostly foreign laborers in the employ
of the Standard Oil company on their
way from Fort Seneca, Ohio, to Brook
field, Ohio, in charge of foreman.
Engineer G. C.. Poole of the passen-
ger train, was killed on the passenger
train while trying to reach for the air
brake His fireman saved himself by
jumping The high speed of the pas
senger train threw it's locomotive and
first three coaches over on the engine
of the freight train, telescoping the
smoker and the car following. Several
cars of the freight train were splinter
ed to fragments.
OF the passengers in the smoker,
none escaped injury. Fortunately there
was no fire, but the heavy timbers
of the wrecked cars pinned down many
and prevented them getting out until
assistance arrived.
Doctors were sent on a special train
to the scene from Lorrine.
When the trains came together, al
most everybody in the smoker was
doing. The sudden jar hurled them
out Of their seats into the aisle and
the roof and sides OIL the car seemed
all at once to crush in like a paper
bag, pinning down the passengers.
The passengers in the second car were
more fortunate. There the violence of
the impact was not so severe, though
few got off without cuts, bruises,
sprains or broken bones. No passen-
gers in the sleepers were injured.
The men on the train who escaped
injury worked hard to rescue the vic
tins and were aided by residents from
the vicinity of the wreck. Some of the
injured were placed in the sleeping
cars while others were removed to
houses near the siding.

President Caniff of the Nickel Plate
