WASHINGTON. y, C.. Dec. 20
That an extra session OF Congress to
revise the tariff VIII Se called by Pres
ldent Taft Seems 70 Ds the general
opinion among Democratic represen-
tatives now in Washington. They be-
ieve that 5tandpat Republican lead
ers aro quietly preparing to steal their
thunosf by a clever COUP" after
March 4th. The Democrats point to
the, fact that the appropriation bills
are being rushed through the House
iat record breaking speed, and that the
Ways and Means Committee is willing
to grant hearings on any schedule Of
the tariff
They believe there will be four or
six weeks at the close OF this session,
in which Congress will have practi-
cally nothing to do except prepare
for a revision OF the tariff in extra
session. It Is expected that those
schedules against which public criti-
cism has been most violent will be
taken up first. The Democrats do not
credit their opponents with any sin
cere desire to lower tarin rates. but
say the proposed extra session Will
be merely a strategcm TO influence
pubic opiaion.

Provisions Arrive at Porcupine ant
Worst Appears to Be Over.

: Toronto, Ont, July Although the
various relief expeditions covered the
greater portion of the burned Porcu-
pine district today, they failed to re-
port any further loss of life than con-
tanned in yesterdays dispatches, which
lost at about 100. With the arrival
of additional relief workers, the burned
area is being covered more thoroughly.
Many of the missing are believed to
have fled far into the interior and
found refuge at isolated farm houses.
Although safe they may not be heard
from for several weeks.
Richard A Cartwright and his son,
r, A. Cartwright, Jr-. who were re-
ported yesterday among the missing
and probably lost are safe at Haley
bury. Reports by the latest survivors
indicate that the fires started in i'm
mense blotehes. instead of in one
place, and failed to cover the whole
district.
Frank Cochrane. minister of lands
and mines, said that he was convinced
from his investigation and that of 9TH
er government officials, that the loss of
life will not exceed 100.
Latest advices received say the fires
are out Three carloads of provisions
reached Porcupine today and more are
on the way. Shelter tents and material
for houses are also being sent. The
work of rebuilding the mine struc-
lures has also begun.
A despatch from Haileybury says
that Matheson, town of 900, Is circled
by fire. which may prove disastrous
should a gale spring up. carlton, 100
miles north of North Bay, has had
several houses burned, while at En-
gIehart. residents are working hard,
piling up and burning scattered brush
wood. There was a slight shower here
yesterday. Fires were raging on the
Quebec side of Lake Temiskaming, and
a large number of settlers in the coun-
try around Sudbury have been burned
out and have had to flee for their lives.
Relief trains with provisions, tents
and blankets are being rushed in over
the government railway and the food
supply at Porcupine is now adequate
and there will be no hunger.
