TALK OF AN EXTRA SESSION.
Congress May Be Called as Result Of
Turn in Cuban Affairs.


Turn in Cuban Affairs.
Washington, Oct. Sin connection
with the return of President Roosevelt
discussion is precipitated regarding
the possibility of an extra session OF
congress --as result of the develop
ment of affairs in Cuba. limitations
are given that this subject will be con-
sidered among others at the meeting
of the cabinet to-day.
Just what basis there is for the sug-
gestion of possible meeting of con-
gress in a special session is not known
1t may be the result of intimations
received of criticism in congressional
circles over the action of President
Roosevelt and Secretary Taft in precip-
itating intervention in Cuba without
consulting congress.
There are suggestions here from
high congressional sources that the
idea which pervaded the senate at the
time Of the adoption of the Plat
amendment was that If intervention in
Cuba should at any time become nee
essary the president would consult
with congress because of the fact that
Intervention under some circum-
stances would be tantamount to q dec
laration OF war. N H All ID
The president is understood to feel
confident that the country VIII sustain

New York, Oct. 3.-The cars lab.
sence from Russia, special cable dis
patch printed here says, has given rise
to discussions in Paris over a report
there that his majesty might cease to
direct the affairs of his realm. sl..
The Petit Parisien, in this connec-
ton, prints st. Petersburg dispatch
saying that court circles are seriously
discussing an eventual regency. The
reason given for such an eventuality
is that recent invidents have so affect,
ed the cars health that his condition
has inspired lively anxiety among his
encourage.
The Echo de Paris publishes, from
what it says is good sburce, per-
sistent report, circulating in Copen-
hagen. that the czar and czarina have
been in that city for two days.
Horrible Atrocities:
Kherson. Oct. 2.-Ninety- peas
ants were tried yesterday on charge
of having devastated the estate of NJ
Krivoshein, formerly minister of rail
roads. Sixty-three were sentenced to
Imprisonment, while thirty-four were
acquitted.
The trial brought out details of a
number of horrible atrocities commit
ted by the authorities upon the ac
cused. The chief of the district, ac-
companied by a detachment of Cos
sacks, reached the esiate Sc on after
the devastation. All the peasants on
the ground were at once gathered in.
No investigation was made.
The chief invited priests to admin
lister the last sacrament to the lprison-
ers and then ordered the Cossacks to
beat them all to death.
Beat Twenty-three to Death.
The butchery lasted for four hours.
Twenty-three peasants were killed and
1876 were mutilated. The Cossacks,
then thoroughly tired out, compelled
the peasants to continue fogging each
other, and the men had to beat their
own brothers, sons and fathers.
! The victims of this slaughter were
innocent, those really guilty having es-
capped by flight.
In spite of these revelations the
court found sentences as related.
Find Threads Of Plot.
st. Petersburg, Oct. Further de-
tails of the recent arrests of terrorists
in the palace of Peterhof were publish
ed yesterday by the Svet, from which
it appears that terrorists had been liv-
ing for time in the quarters of lack
ey named Klepnikoff, who was arrest
ed recently, charged with being con-
cerned in smuggling terrorists through
the guards and arranging their hiding
places, paying literally for information
about the movements of the members
Of the imperial family.
i The police found in the room of an
arrested youth, who was high school
student barely eighteen years old, cor
respondence with the revolutionists'
organization, from which it is hoped
to get hold of all the threads of the
plot.

Fear Of Repetition Of Hurricane Keeps
People in State Of Panic.
Mobile, Ala, Oct. 3.-Haunted by
the recollections of the great storm
which has just passed, sustaining fur
Their injury and increased financial
loss from a heavy rainfall yesterday,
and fearful of what to-day may bring,
the residents of the city of Mobile had
a most uncomfortable twelve hours
and retired for the night, filled with
forebodings.
Many residents were at times In a
state of semi-panic over the dispatches
from Washington, which directed that
storm warnings be displayed along the
Florida coast.
Cup of Misery Runs Over.
There was slight grain of comfort
in the earlier messages, as they did
not mention Mobile among the places
likely to be visited by the storm now
coming up through the Gulf of Mexico.
Late in the day, however, the name of
Mobile was added to the list of places
in the path of possible tornado, and
Mobiles cup, which had been full of
misery all day, commenced to run over.
Rain Duplicates Storm Loss.
The business houses of the city yes.
terday sustained almost as much fnan-
cial loss from heavy rain storm
which set in shortly after midnight
and lasted about twelve hours, as from
the recent disaster. There is scarcely
building in the business section of
the city which has a roof capable of
keeping out the rain. Many of them
have no roofs at all, and during the
storm of yesterday, in which four
inches of rain fell, the water poured
down through elevator shafts, leaking
roofs and unprotected upper floors,
running much merchandise. One of
the leading merchants declared unless
the rain soon stopped he would be ut
terly ruined and would be compelled
to go out Of business. Others were in
a condition almost as desperate.
