Washington, D. c. The Sixty-first
Congress, which opened two years
ago in an extra session. closed shorr-
" before o'clock Saturday on the
verge Of the extra session of its sue
cessor.
Within an hour after the gavel had
fallen in each House President Taft
issued his proclamation converting
the next Congress in extra session on
the first Tuesday in April, being the
4th day of the month. Under the
Constitution this Congress expired by
Limitation at noon March 4. The
closing hours of the Sixty-frst Con-
gress were turbulent and riotous be-
yond shame.
In the House Speaker Cannon was
compelled TO threaten the Democrats
with the mace after shameful scene
in which Representative johnson, Of
Kentucky, cried out to the Speaker
of the House that II the Speaker were
younger man he would throw a
brick at him. to which the venerable
Speaker holly retorted that he had
never yet taken advantage of his age.
Turmoil in the Senate.
In the Senate Mr.. Owen conducted
ilibuster until within five minutes
of the constitutional expiration Of the
session. The Sundry Civil Bill and
the General Deficiency Bill were
threatened. He abandoned his fili-
. buster only to bring about the dra-
matte resignation of Senator Bailey,
of Texas. Mr.. Owen had been aght-
ing to have the bill accepting the
Constitution of New Mexico coupled
with a similar bill for Arizona. The
proposed Constitution Of Arizona pro-
vides for the recall Of the judges.
and when, on Mr.. Owens motion. a
score or more of Democratic senators
voted in its favor, Mr.. Bailey, in hot
indignation, declaring to friend

Of starving refugees are rowing
through the famine-stricken area Of
China, plundering and killing, and a
reign Of terror prevails, according to
persons who NArrived here on the
Tamba Maru, which just reached
port from the Orient.
AT Kunsham, a walled village with
in sc miles of Shanghai, the villagers,
after q desperate raid in which stores
were looted and many killed, melted
out punishment peculiarly Chinese
in its callousness to the raiding refu-
gees. "A band of more than 500 are
reported to have been surrounded in
a compound and burned to death.
The refugees had taken possession
of Kunshan and for two days ran
sacked the stores of everything eat
able. killing or wounding all who re-
sisted.
Many villagers were slain and 9TH
ers were taken prisoners and held
for ransom. When the raiders moved
on to plumber the next village, the
Kunshan people held council Of
war and offered to pursue the fugi-
tives. They came up with them in
a small village and surrounded the
housesS The gates were locked and
the houses fred,
The refugees brought 1--WE prison
ers into the compound in view of the
siegers and threatened to kill them
unless the siege was raised, and on
the villagers pressing them back to
the burning buildings, they slowly
hacked the five men to death. Three
other prisoners were tied to stakes
in the burning building and were
burned with their captors.

THE EXTRA SESSION
Presidents Viii Have Democratic
House.

House.
Washington, D. G President Taft
I'm his, proclamation convoking Con
gress on April 4 mentions as a rea-
son therefor only the Canadian reci-
procity agreement. There were many
persons who held to the hope to the
very last minute that the Mccall bill
might be rushed through the Senate
and an extra session avoided. There
were others who declared that the
| fact that no official statement had
come from President Taft might ar.
que that he would decide otherwise
onnr eflection
As matter Of fact, however, the
extra session proclamation had beer
drawn up for several days. only the
date for the session being left va
cant.
How long the extra session will
last is problematical. While the new
Congress may promptly ratify the
reciprocity agreement, some Demo.
Gratis are in favor Of withholding CON
firmation until two or three new tar.
if schedules are ready. IL tariff diff.
ferences should arise between the
new House and the Senate, the SEES
sion unquestionably would be long
one.
