their old comrades perhaps least
of all realize how long it has been
since Lincoln called them. Yet
from the close of the War of
1872 to the outbreak of the Re-

the forty-five years that have
gone since the outbreak of the
Civil War.
In the whole span of this ma

day of Fort Sumter. If there
were not a thousand other rea-
sons for forgetting the attempt

THE SPECIAL SESSION

Dover, May 3I.-The legislature Of Del
aware met to-day in extraordinary ses-
sion. The Democratic members OF the
Legislature in caucus last night, declared
the extra session fraud perpetuated
upon the people of Delaware by un-
scrupulous majority to gather the benefit
of corrupt victory at the last general
election. They resolved that the Sena-
torial election being the sole cause Of the
session, they would vote to adjourn from
day to day and obstuct the election rather
than be passive parties to what they
charge is a corrupt attempt to steal a
national toga.
This extra session marks tile proionging
action OF ten years internal war in Della
ware Republican politics. Regular Re-
publicans have fought Union representa-
tives during that period with bitter and
implacable ferocity.
Accordingly, soon after meeting to day
both Housed passed aresolution adjourn
ing until Monday, June 1lth, at $50
O'Clock, which is after the arrival Of the
evening northbound and southbound
trains, and when the caucuses will be
held for United States Senator.
Little was heard about the senatorsllip
during the day, although Senators Conner
and Moore and Representative Davis the
three Addicks stalwarts, did hard work
during the afternoon with Representa-
tives Messick and GARRISON and others
who are put down as Unions now deter
mined TO support dupont.
The Democrats sunk back in the traces
all day and refused to participate except
by their presence which could have been
enforced.
Organization was affected BY re-electing
the old officers by special resolution as
follows:
Senate-President pro tempore, Alvan
B. Conner, of Kent Secretary, J. Ed
ward Goslee, of Sussex, Enrolling Clerk
C. Sherburne Rice, of Wilmington; Chap

THE SPECIAL Session

The General Assembly OF
Delaware met, pursuant to the
call Of Governor in special ses
sion on Thursday last. The
plans as outlined by the Repubii-
cans, who are responsible and
will control the action OF the
General Assembly, were adopted
at a conference before the as
sembling of the body. They pro
vide for only three sittings:-the
one held Thursday, one to be
held on Monday, June 18th and
one on Tuesday, June 18th. AS
the last is the earliest possible
date for the choice of senator,
it is evident that no fear is felt as
to an agreement on that question.
The caucus will probably be held
on Monday evening, and the
choice of that caucus elected the
next day. There will have to be
a session on Wednesday how
ever, as the law provides for a
comparison of the journals on
that day, when, if the journals
show that the same person has
received a majority OF both
houses, he will be declared elect,
ed.
Another evident fact, from the
preliminary work, is that moth
ing not included in the Cover
nor's message will be considered
Both of the items SO included,
are important There is grave
doubt of the proper adoption of
the Constitutional amendment in
reference to taxing the shares of
certain corporations, and it
should be attended to at once,
that the people may pass on it at
the ensuing election. The Gov
ernor's message also discloses
that there are several hundred
thousand dollars due the State
for Franchise Tax, the major
portion of which is undoubtedly
lost, but a considerable part may
be saved by prompt action. The
proposed law, if adopted will re-
pay many times the expenses of
the special session. These ex
penses will not be heavy, despite
the attempt on the part Of certain
Democrats to claim that the State
will be bankrupted as a result.
The action of the Democrats is
expected to add to the humor of
a session. They say they are to
make motions for adjournment
sine die, every five minutes that
the houses are in session. The
only result will be to lengthen
the sessions, and require the at
tendance of all members all the
time. This will do no harm.
The Democrats will infict as
much punishment on themselves
as they do on the Republicans,
for they cannot do other than as
their opponents do. With only |
the few matters to come up, the
number Of motions to be made
for adjournment. will be neces-
sarily limited, as no motion to ad-
journ can be considered until |
other business has interviewed
since a previous motion of like

II would like to ask James N. Gillett
one question, and that is whether he
would be willing to have his compli-
mentary remarks concerning w. r.
Hearst published in all the Republican
and the many anti-Hearst Democratic
newspapers in New York state, where
Charles e. Hughes, the Republican
nominee for governor, is making a fight
to prevent the foisting upon the peo-
pie of the great Empire state the
Hearst machine, backed by every
abominable element which could be
purchased as an attachment of the
Hearst-born Independence league.
This was Theodore A. Bells COM
ment on the fact that Mr. GiIIett. the
Republican nominee for governor, had
in his speech in Bakersfield, compli-
mented Hearst

my Bakersfield speech" said Mr.. Gil

right. 1 am only stating facts about
him. I shall continue to compliment
him in my speeches today in the vi
cinity of Los Angeles"
Issue Not Partisan
Mr.. Bell, previous to his departure
for Riverside, where he spoke last
night, was seen at his hotel and was
told of Mr.. Gillett's statement. The
Democratic nominee for governor
stated the question he would like to
put to Mr.. Gillett. and then continued:
If Hearst is a good man in Califor-
mia he is good citizen of New York,
and if he is all right as Mr.. Gillett
says, he should be elected governor
of New York instead of Mr.. Hughes,

FINDS FOREST
RESERVES EXCELLENT
nv Assoclated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Oct. IL.
Clifford Pinchot, chief of the
Bureau of forestry, who has
just completed a tour of the
government forest reserves,
called on the president today.
Mr.. Pinchot expressed gratifi-
cation with the results of his
inspection and of the excellent
condition in which he found
the forest reserves.
There has been only one big
fire on the reserves during the
summer, he says, and the
burned area did not exceed
probably over 1000 acres.
This is a better record than
that of last year, when the
total area of forest land
burned over was one-tenth of
per cent.
