The meeting of the seth con-
gress in extra session recalls the
fact that the first extra session of
the United States congress was
called by President John Adams
on May IS, 1897 The congress
was the fifth. The relations oil the
United States with France were in
a critical condition at the time, the
French government having sus-
pended diplomatic intercourse on
the ground that the Jay treaty in
relation to French West Indian
possessions was a violation of a
solemn pact Pinckney, the Amer
lean minister to France, had been
expelled from that country and the
French government had under
taken measures looking to depre-
dations on American commerce.
President Adams made numerous
recommendation to congI ess con-
corning the organization of the
militia and providing for a naval
armament and his wishes were
promptly met. The sessions closed
on July 10.
