EXTRA SESSION PLAN
DEMOCRATS GETTING READY TO
MAKE REcoMMENDA-
TiONS. &
WORK ON TARIFF BILLS.
Liberation of Philippines and Curren-
cy Question May Be Acted
Disappointment Fight
to Break.

Washington, Jan. 28.-Although n
scope of the legislation to be taken
up at the approaching extra session
of has not yet been out
lined, congressional committees are
rapidly pushing their preliminary
work to a point where recommends
tons can be made to President-elect
Wilson and plans laid before him for
the early work OF his administra-
ton.
Ready for Work.
Work on tariff bills will soon be
started. The hearings will be con-
Guided this week. &c.,.
The money trust" end of the house
banking and currency committee is
already working on a report, while
the currency branch of the same
committee will push its investigation
this week into other branches of the
currency question, in the effort to Sc
cure comprehensive suggestions for
currency reform.
Senate and house leaders do not
yet know what legislation, if any, in
| addition to the work of tariff revision
will be taken up at the extra session.
Some Problems.
Several Of those who have talked
with P~resident-elect Wilson express
the confident belief that the currency
question and the question of liberat-
ing the Philippines will be included
in the new presidents scheme of &C
ton for his first congressional seS
sion. "..
1t is the general opinion in Demo-
cratic circles in Washington that Mr..
Wilson will at least not "foreclose"
congress against acting OF everything
but the tariff in the special session.
A majority of the Democrats in the
senate expect little legislation other
than the tariff to be taken up, but
they believe President Wilson, in call
ing the special session, will not
specifically limit its work.
Would Postpone Currency Action.
An effort is under way by some
ton on the currency bill until the
next regular session and it is expect.
ed that a movement will be promoted
to secure an extension of the present
Aldrich- Vreeland emergency currency
law for at least a year, so that an
emergency measure will still be at
hand in case of industrial or finan.
cial disturbances. Under this plan
no attempt would be made to legis-
late on currency questions until next
winter. -
The full extent of the fight between
the Republican and Democratic fac
ton in the senate over President
Taft's appointments is expected to
develop this week. A Republican
ably will be held early in the week
and the majority of Republicans now
insist there will be no concessions
to the Democrats, but hat the de-
mand will again be made for confir.
nation of all of the appointments now
before the senate. The house will
devote it's time this week to the con
sideration of appropriation bills and
by the end of the week it is expected
several big supply measures will be
ready for the consideration of the
senate.

Austria resented this allowance Of

NE WSs
Lloyd George, Chancellor Of Eng
land, has introduced a bill in the Eng
fish House of Commons to loan to the
Soudan cotton industry SIS, 900, 900, for
fostering the expanding Of cotton
growing along the Nile. This increase
in the growing Of Egyptian cotton will
serve, if properly pushed, to make the
cotton goods manufactures Of Eng
land Independent of Americas cotton
farmers, and as the Egyptian cotton
is grown on English soil, make the
money expended in purchasing be re-
turned to the benefit of the mother
country. The gain shall be internal.
This fact, together with the resultant
independence of American market
manipulation are two prominent and
fcrceful arguments in favor of the
bill. The possibility of the increase
being sufficient to bring about such
desirable effects will be told by time.
None to-day can venture to say yes
or no.
If it should come about that Egypt
can grow enough cotton to supply
England, then one of the largest pres
ent markets for American cotton will
be destroyed. From the English point
Of view, the bill is excellent. The say.

We read from press reports that
the Montenegrin army has captured
Scutari, the ancient home Of Monte
negro kings and which Turkey has
held Over five centuries. Montene-
gro has done this in spite of the
threatening attitudes of Europe's larg.
est nations, who have used all the
cowing methods known to fearful n
tons to force this little defiant ma.
ton to renounce on the eve OF success
the goal for which some Of Montene-
gro's most precious blood was shed.
The Black Mountain men for
months, in a justified war, have strug.
gled valorously against difficulties and
surmounted stubborn obstacles; for
months the fearless Montenegrins
have attacked the stronghold, only to
fall back leaving a field paved with
the groaning bodies of Montenegrins.
Montenegro's best blood has saturated
the fields near Scutari. Orphaned
M~ontenegrin families have borne for
months in patriotic silence the DESC
lation and sorrow of fatherless homes
and listened at night only to hear the
news from Scu.ari.
Fearful throngs eagerly awaited to
hear OF their army's success and pa
tiently bore up under the sorrow Of the
death news, solaced by the hope Of
