surant.e that an extra session of con-

begins. December 4, it is naturally to
be expected that the three weeks of

consideration of railway rate legisla-
ton. That was the great question be-
fore congress and the country when
the last session adjourned, and it is en-
tirely reasonable to suppose that ii
