SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26.-Issues
of national Importance, depending upon
the primary election here today by
reason Of the charter provision that
any candidate receiving a majority of
the votes cast for his office is elected,
brought forth a record breaking regis
tration and vote in the struggle be-
tween 2. H. Mccarthy. the incumbent
mayor, and James ROlph, Jr. a busi-
ness man and McCarthy's chief Op-
pOnent. At the closing OF the polls,
it was estimated that between seventy
and eighty thousand votes had been
cast. With six candidates, only a tre-
mendOus advantage by one side or the
other will make it possible To know
tonight whether final success perched
on either banner The Panama Pa
cific exposition is the main stake in
tOday's election. The city voted five
millions for the exposition and citi-
zens subscribed seven and a half mil
lions more. The next mayor will hold
office for four years and have much
to say as to the expenditure of these
sums. The election was officially non
partisan but Mccarthy had the en-
dorsement of union labor and Rolph Of
coalition of the old democratic and
republican parties. The labor regime
has been in power with the exception
Of one term, for years. The early re-
turns showed Rolph leading by q large
ma ajOrity.

AN EXTRA SESSION
sIxTY-FIRsT CONGRESS AO
JouRNs WITHOUT SETTLING
IMPORTANT BUSINESS.
Within an Hour After Closing ses'
sion Call is Issued for Congress
TO Meet In Special Session on
the Fourth of April.

Washington.-The Sixty-first con
gress. needless of one OF the most I'm
portant legislative tasks set before II
came to an end shortly after moor
Saturday.
Within the hour following Presl
dent Taft had issued a proclamation
calling the new congress to meet II
extraordinary session at noon, OF
Tuesday, April 4. He will then sub
nit for ratification to a house over
whelmingly Democratic, and to a sen
ate barely Republican, the reciprocity
agreement with Canada. The Mccall
bill, carrying that agreement into Ell
feet and passed by the house, met on
Saturday, at the hands Of the old
senate, the death freely predicted
for it.
The permanent tariff board Dill,
forced to it's passage through a re-
luctant senate at $50 o'clock Satur-
day morning. was hurried over to the
house, there to be s%trangled by a
Democratic filibuster.
Congress provided funds to continue
the work of the temporary tariff
board for another year.
1t was at the request of the Demo-
Gratis of the house and senate that
President Taft fixed the date OF the
extra session on April A..
There is little doubt now that the
Donnnrotc IF tho hnI1cn will undQr-
take to revise. at least two or three
of the schedules of the Payne-Aldrich
tariff act, and there is every reason
also to believe the bills will be ia
vorably received in the new senate.
How long the extra session will last
is problematical. While the new con-
gress may promptly ratify the recip-
rocity agreement, some Democrats
are in favor of Withholding confirma-
ton until two or three new tariff
schedules are ready. If tariff diff
ferences should arise between the
new house and the senate the SEES
sion unquestionably would be a long
one.
The old congress ended amid scenes
of extraordinary excitement and III.
certainty. In the house the disorder
at times in the closing hours, when
the successful filibuster against the
tariff board bill was in progress, be-
came almost a riot.
Retiring Speaker Cannon was eulo-
gized by Champ Clark, who will be
the next speaker of the house. Mr..
Clark characterizing Speaker Cannon
as a great historical character" and
ending his remarks with the declara.
ton that 1--WE all wish for the retiring
speaker peace, plenty, prosperity,
happiness and length of days.

BAILEY TENDERS RESIGNATION.
Texas Senator Reconsiders Action.
However, INT viii Remain in
Senate.

Washington Senator Joseph w.
Bailey added to the excitement and
episodes surrounding the adjournment
of the Sixty-first Congress on Satur-
day by r~esigning his office as senator
from the state of Texas and a few
hours later withdrawing his resigna-
ton. Angered by the atutuue of mis-
Democratic colleagues in favoring the
resolution approving the new consti-
tuition of Arizona, to whose radical
features Mr.. Bailey has voiced his
opposition, he wrote his resigsation
and took it to the vice-president with
the request that he announce it to
the senate.
Mr.. Sherman declined. Senator Ba-
con, importuned in like ann to an
nounce it, took a similar position.
Thereupon the Texan telegraphed it
to Governor Colquit of Texas, who
promptly refused to accept it.

FEARS RUSSIAN INVASION
Chinese Entertain the Belief That
Russia Will Find Pretense for Oc-
cupylng Manchuria.
Copyright. 1911.)

Pekin.-The fear of Russian ag-
gression Is increasing here. Reports
published in Russian newspapers and
reprinted In Pekin papers greatly ex.
aggerate the dangers from the plague.
Many of the higher class Chinese
fear a campaign designed to alarm
Europe n justify military occupa-
ton. Dispatches from Hardin say
Russian military circles are advocat-
Ing occupation.
The Valdivostok newspaper print
warning of the danger of a boxer up
rising, but the Chinese government
practically denies the possibility OF
such a thing, declaring the entire
country Is under control.
The measures taken to combat the
plague beyond Hardin are not yet sat
'isfactory to the Russian government,
and the frontier is still closed to Chit
nese.
Outbreaks In Manchuria are antici-
pated owing to the distress occa-
stoned by the long stoppage of trans
p%ortation and the consequent inter-
ference with trade. Agitators, prob
ably affiliated with the boxers. are re-
ported to be rousing the superstitious
natives. but the government, with the
aid OF the police, Is limiting their
sphere of activity. Proclamations
also are being issued explaining the
nature of the plague and the meas
ures hat must be observed to pre-
vent its sDread.
