GRATIFYING reports come from Bich-
mOnd that the question of holding an
extra session does not appeal with much
force to the majOrity. Many of the old
er men are properly favorable to extend
ing the session for ten days, the mem
bsrs to serve without pay, while there
are some who want to compel the gov
ernOr to convene the body in extra seS-
sion and to warrant them in drawing
pay for the extra thirty dsys-to get
$3.50, whether they are there ten days
or thirty. Governor Swanson is natural
ly against any such business aud it is
hoped that he will not yield. The cost
of an extra session of thirty days would
reach close up to $50, OOo, sud il gould
not be q guarfu'ee idat any measures u
Consequence would be enacted il it were
hid. Tas republicans, to their credit,
are dead against an extra session.

establishing an experimental parcel pos:
upon rural free delivery routes. The
postOfiice committee Of the House to
which was referred Representative Ls-

service in York county, Pennsylvania,
is understood TO have rejected the propo.
sition, and to have virtually completed
the preparation Of the pOstofice sppro-
priaiiOn bill without permitting any ref
erence to the parcel post TO creep into
its provisions. The charge is made that
the committee was packed against it for
the benefit of the mail.order houses of
Chicsgo, and as Mr.. Plat, who repre-.
SCENTS the express companies is violently
opposed to anything that will affect the
