CONGRESS EXTRA
NOT LIKELY THAT A SESSION
WILL BE CALLED.
THE TARIFF TO Be POSTPONED
A Disposition to Let Matters Rest un'
iii Fall-Congress May Be Called
Together in October II Conditions
Necessitate It.

WASHINGTON-The talk OF an
extra session of congress in the spring
is gradually dying out. The leaders
Of the senate and house, after careful
consideration with the president of
those questions which are very up
permost In the minds of the people,
tariff revision and railroad rates, are
almost unit in opposition to spring
session of congress. In fact, the OPP
position has crystallized through the
efforts of Speaker Cannon and Sena-
tor Aldrich and there Is disposition
now to postpone tariff revision until
the extra session, which seems very
likely to be called about the 18th or
goth of October. But while tariff re-
vision talk is very perceptibly dimin-
ishing, the talk of rate establishments
Is on the increase, and so vast is
the agitation now going on that traf-
flee managers, railroad presidents,
general managers and railroad attOr-
neys are coming into Washington al
most in drOves to ascertain at first
hand what the scheme of railroad
rate readjustments Is. There are
those in congress who enjoy the con-
fidence of the president who are of
the opinion that a bill giving larger
powers to the interstate commerce
commission could be passed at this
session of congress if the leaders
would so order, and If conservative
measure could be agreed upon. The
passage of such bill would do away
with any extra session of congress
and tariff revision, or at least a mod
ification of schedules could be taken
up in the regular session of congress,
which convenes the first Monday in
next December. 1t Is admitted that
the president does not advocate radi-
cal action that would bring disaster
to the railroads. On the other hand,
1t Is conceded that there is ground
for complaint and room for reform.
1t Is not work that can be done in
q day. The question is big and broad,
with far-reaching effect, and must
needs be handled with wisdom and
deliberation. 1t is, therefore, believ-
ed mat II an extra session is cared
at all it will be next fall, and not this
spring.
On the Sd of March next William
M. Stewart of Nevada will retire from
the senate. Following the precedent
set by Thomas Benton of Missouri,
James G.. Blaine of Maine, John Sher-
man Of Ohio and George F. Hoar of
Massachusetts, Senator Stewart will
devote his attention to editing and
revising for publication his "reminis-
cences," which will be published next
fall. Senator Stewart took his seat
in the United States senate in Febru-
airy, 1865, as one of the first two SEN
ators from the newly admitted state
of Nevada. There are only two other
men alive today who served with him
In 1865, namely. George f. Edmunds
of Philadelphia and John B. HenGer-
son of this city.

CONTRACT LET FOR EXTENSION
Minneapolis Tribune March 4.


All doubts concerning the extension of the 500
Line from Thief River Falls westward were set at
rest yesterday when contracts for the construction
Of the new railroad aggregating $5,OO0,tO0 we're
let. Winston Brothers company secured the cop-
tract for the grading and timber work. their bid
being 81 100000. The contract was signed at the
general Offices Of the 500 in the Guaranty building
yesterday.
Kenmare. N, D., 800 miles westward, is the OBJ
jective point of the big extension, which will pro-
ceed from Thief River Falls to Warren, Mimi, and
then taking course little north OF west, will
ter Kennare in an almost straight line.
The new liue will run between the Great North
ern railway and the Canadian boundary, about
25 miles from either for the greater part of it's
course, and will thread the most thickly settled
section of North Dakota.
An air OF the greatest secrecy surrounds the eX-
act route which the line will take after leaving
Warren, as there some Is or 80 townsites to
be considered by those iu authority before the in
formation is given to the public However, it is
positively known that the rich counties of Mar
shall in Minnesota, and Walsh, Cavalier, Towner,
Roulette, Bottineau and Ward in North Dakota
will be crossed by the line.
All contracts call for completion OF work by
Oct this year, which means that the road will be
in full operation on that date
The richest and most populous section Of North
Dakota, which has heretofore been entirely depen-
dent on the Great Northern and it's several branch
les projecting into the territory for it's railroad
facilities, has now complete main line of railroad
OF it's own.
The stations on the Great Northern which will
be tapped are Bisbee Omeelne, Lansford, Forest
River and Conway. The Great Northern's branch
es extending north Of Graceville, Rugby Junction,
Church's Ferry Larimore and Grand Forks will
have to divide the business with new and power
full competitor which already has a trunk line to
the Atlantic coast, as well thoroughly equip
ped line to Winnipeg.
The section of North Dakota to be devolved by
the new road is the most productive in the state,
ern counties to be invaded by the extension.
AS soon as it is deemed ble, full inform
alton regarding the exact route to be followed will
be furnished by the passenger department. OF the
500. Only As miles of the line will be laid in
Minnesota the remaining midway between the
Great Northerns main line and the boundary.

A SERMON FOR TODAY
BY HENRY F. CoPE, Editor OF RAMS Horn

ny HENRY r. COPE, Editor OF Rams Horn.
Blessed the meek for they shall inherit the eahMav
l. 1t might surprise us to read this perpexing
message as: "Happy are the gentlemen: for they
shall possess the EARTH Yet that in it's best
sense, is what the teacher meant Meekness is but
the gentleness OF the truly noble, and brave
This beatitude is not popular; it hardly seems to
fit in with hard common sense. Practically, the
modern man says: "Meekness was all right in the
monastery" strenuous aSe demands something
mightier than meekness and more emphatic and
assertive than gentlenesS.
The difficulty comes from the confounding of
meekness with mushness. The coward seeks to
cover his pitlable weakness with this name; the
hypocrite wears the mask of meekness to hide his
iniquity and meanness; the brainless mystic calls
his mumblings also meekness. And so this virtue
has been relegated to the enon-vertebrates amongst
the human kind
Is this, then, an outgrown ethical direction,
good ouly for the days when religionwas supposed
to be the province and property OF the recuse and
the ascetic? Did Jesus advocate fabbiness OF
character, mere negative virtue, the weak life
that acquiesces because it dare not resist? The
best commentary on mans creed is his conduct.
Was he such man? Was the apostle OF neekness
a meek man according to this popular conception
of meekness? Not by any means. His enemies
bear witness to that The fact that He had so
many and such mplacab!e enemies is sufficient
answer. He won their hatred because he was such
took more than weak and dreamy meekness to
drive the traders from the temple; it took more
than unmanly resignation to face the rulers and
chief of the people there was more than mere sub
mission in the calm turning OF the face to 20 up to
jerusalem knowing that Gethsemane and Calvary
waited Him there. He who preached meekness
shows US how to practice it. His life is it's ex-
position. Meekness is might; it is the noblest type
of manhood. Its essential attribute is calm and
steadfast strength born of the consciousness OF
unity with eternal and unconquerable things. 1t
lifts one above the fears aud fres life. 1t teaches
a fine disregard of the dignities and bedecking OF
mems honors, stations and titles. Its honors are
those of character. To the meek rank and position
depend not on the circumstances without but on
the condition within 1t is gentle because it does
not need to assert ITSELF Its pride is not super
fetal as to be mortay injured by Sights from
without; it fears only dishonor within. It is the
mastery OF the true things. 1t is the
ability to stand to be calm under the mosquito
s,ings Of petty prosecutions, to be rich in heart
under the loss Of things to be at ones best in the
worst Of things. 1t still conquers the earth; brag,
bluster and artificial honor all fall before its
might. 1t prevails because it sets the man above
the material, above the mechanism of life itmakes
him master Of ALL and SO makes him fit to inherit
the earth, just as that meekest of men is today
the Master Of all.

WANTED AT MINOT
(Daily Optic, March 6

Dick Nightengale, a we'll known Minot charac.
ter who disappeared rather suddenly from the city
few weeks ago, is badly wanted by Sheriff Lee on
a charge Of robbery. Nightengale was last heard
of in Portal and 1t is thought that he crossed the
line and is now in hiding in Canada.
About three weeks ago Robert Rowan entered
a resort conducted by Nightengae in the east part
OF the city. During the progress OF business
transaction Rowen exposed bank deposit slip
amounting to $3.50. 1t is alleged that Nighteli-
remark that "this will do me, and placing it in
his pocket continued at his work. This was on
Saturday afternoon about O'Clock. Rowen ac-
cepted the matter as Joke and made no particr-
lar effort to recover the deposit slip, believing tla
Nightengale would turn it over to him in due
course of time. On Sunday afternoon he visited
Nightengale's place and found that he had not
been there during the day and it was later learned
that he left the city on Saturday night:
On the following Monday morning Rowan visit
deposit slip had been cashed about 2:45 on Satur-
day afternoon. The paying teller at the bank in
formed Rowan that just before closing on the day
indicated, Nightengale entered the bank and asked
for the cash on the deposit slip: He stated to the
teller that he had secured the slip from Rowan in
a horse trade, and as the slip was properly en-
dorsed and Nightengale was well known to the
bank officials the money was paid over Rowan
believed that Nightengale would return to the city
and make good the amount and did not swear out
a warrant until few days ago, since which time
Sheriff Lee has been on the lookout for the fugi-
tive. A picture of the man and detailed descrlp-
tion has been sent out to all officers in this vci
ity and Canada.
Nightengale has resided in Mnot off and on for
the past three years and it is believed has made
living by bootegging and pgging. Rowan be-
lieves that Nightengale will return to Minot OF his
own accord If the matter is kept under cover and
for several DAYS insisted that the publication OF
the facts be withheld

COLD COMFORT FOR ENGLAND

The international commission to settle the
North Sea controversy between Great Britain and
tration arose through the firing by Russian wal
ships on the Dogger bank English fishing fleet
while the Russian fleet was passing through the
| North sea en- route to the far East. The commits
sky was not Justified The report further states
that the delay Of the Russian transport Kamsch-
atka, following the breakdown of her machinery
was, perhaps the cause OF the incident The com:
mander of the Kamschatka signaled to Admiral
Reiestvensky that he had been attacked by tor
pedo boat, and the latter gave orders for strict
vigilance against the possible approach oftorpedo
boats. The commission considers that the Russian
admiras orders were not excessive in time OF war,
particularly under the circumstances, and that he
had every reason to consider the situation
alarming.
The decision ''recognizes unanimously that the
fishing feet committed no hostile act, and the
|jorty of the commissioners of the opinion that
there were not, neither among the fishing boats
nor in their vicinity, any torpedo boats. The
opening fire by Admiral Rejestvensky was not
Justified
The report concludes by declaring that the
Russian admiral should have reported to the
maritime powers what had occurred in the North
|Sea.
