TOiTS .SO EXTBA" SESSION

Major JIcKinlcy Advises President Harrison Xot to Call Congress Together. Yiews of Delegate Pavia cn the Fan-American Congress Fish for the YellowstoneCruiser Vesuvius Appointments. WITH THE PRESIDENT. SInJor aicltlnley Oppose an Extra SessionDelegate to the ran-Ainerican Congers. Deer Fakk, Md., Aug. 29. President Harrison has appointed Gen. James M. Warner Iostmastcr at Albany, X. Y., and James M. Bailey surveyor of the port of Albany, X. Y. The President has signed the commissions of Charles!. Flint, of New York, and Hon. Henry G. Davis, of West Virginia, as delegates on the part of tho United States to the congress of American nations, to bo held in Washington iri October. Hon. William McKinley, jr.. of Ohio, was much of the day urittt the President, and 'with bin disenssed Ohio politics and the advisability of convening Congress in extra session. The Major thinks an extra session inadvisable, and that Congress could not be well assembled after hearing from the four new States before Nov. 1, and then there would bo but four working weeks; and that if by tho death of Republicans or tho election of new members tho majority be with tho Democrats, the President would, in calling an extra session, assame the responsibility for their action, while this would not bo the caso in regular session. Mr. McKinley returned home this evening. Ex-Senator Henry G. Davis, who was today appointed a delegate to the congress of American nations, was seen by an Associated Press reporter. He thinks it would be Lad tate in him, when not yet officially informed of his appointment, to say whether he will serve or not. Mr. Davis has always, as shown by his votes in the Senate, believed tho United State could "well aliortl to be quite liberal in any movement which would divert to the United States more of the South American trade. Now the balanco of trade is hopelessly Against us in a ratio of about four to one. He thinks that rongh cotton goods, provisions, manufactured stulls, agricultural implements and high-class mechanical devices used in the arts. South America should get from us, and that our commodities, instead of going to England, to be re-shipped to our Bister continent, should go direct. The $135,000 appropriation of Congress will be spent .in showing the visiting delegates our resources, and this, the ex-Senator belioves, will be conducive to good resnlte.' He intends making a thorough study of all matters pretaimng to the interests in this convention, hence it would seem likely tbat h will accept. The apIointiufiit of Mr. Davis is partly; due to the Resident's knowledge of his positive Views as to the proper course the united States should pursue. Mr. Charles R. Flint, also appointed a delegate, is, like ex-Senator Davis, a Democrat. Besides being arominent merchant, he is thoroughly conversant with tho Spanish language. His knowledge of Spanish will be useful in the coming convention, and this was one of the reasons for his appointment. As it now stands, the United States will be represented by four Democrats and six Republicans. General Clarkson was at the Spencer cottage again to-djy. work of Tire risn commission. Stocking the Rivers and Iake of the YellowStone National Park. Washington, Aug. 29. Colonel McDonald, United States Fish Commissioner, who yesterday returned to Washington from a tour of inspection of the Fish Commission stations on the west coast and interior States, mado a thorongh inspection of the waters of the Yellowstone National Park for the purpose of ascertaining what varieties of fishes are best suited to them. The area in tho park, entirely without lieu, amounts to about 1.500 square miles, and includes the headwaters of several small rivers and their tributaries. Commissioner McDonald intends, at an early date, to plant 5.000 yearling Eastern brook trout in the middle and west forks of the Gardner river, above the cascades. He will at the same time send a party with one of the commission's cars to collect native blackepotted trout, in the Gardner, and place these hsh in the east fork of tho nver, above tho falls. This party will also collect tho native white rish of tho Gardner river for the purpose of stocking some of the small lakes. This will be the beginning of very extensive fish cultural work, which it is the intention of the commission to carry on in connection with tho park. Next spring it is proposed to stock lakes Shoshone and Lewis with Lockhaven trout and salmon, and the Madison river with English trout. l-ROSPECT OP A LEGAL EIGHT, Constructor of the Vesuvius Hold that the Vessel Ha Already Been Accepted. Washington, Aug. 29. It appears to bo probable that when the point of settlement is reached between tho Navy Department and the contractors for furnishing tho new dynamite cruiser Vesuvius, some intricate legal questions will have to be disposed of. Although built by the Cramps, the vessel was contracted for, by tho j Pneumatic Dynamito Gun Company, which sublet the contract. Before Secretary 'Whitney retired he accepted the vessel so far as speed, range and accuracy of tire were concerned, but required proof of rapidity of fire. This last requirement has never been met, owing to a series of unfortunate accidents to the machinery. It is understood, however, that the contractors will claim that the vessel was accepted, and that they are thus relieved from the heavy penalties (now SOOOa day.) which would be due if it 6hould be held that the government has never accepted the vessel. A point resembling this was made early in Secretary Whitney's administration, respecting one of the Roach vessels which had been accepted by his predecessor, but Secretary Whitney held that tho vessel had not been legally accepted.

The third day's session of the national editorial convention opened with an iucident which somewhat marred the harmony of tho proceedings. Cob Elliot F. Shepard's interview with the Detroit Journal, as reported in these dispatches yesterday, created a veritable sensation in the convention, and the Southern delegates, especially, were most emphatic in denouncing the words attributed to Colonel Shepard.

Lee, of Pawtucket, 11. I.; G. C. Matthews, of Memphis, Tenn., and It.

Copeland, of San Antonio, Tex., said that the peoplo of San Antonio would bo glad to welcome the association there when it wanted to como. . assuring them they would be received with open arms by a happy, prosperous and loyal people, and they would look in vain for "rebel tire-eaters." David H. Elliott, of SanfoTd, Fla., presented the association with an American Hag which he had with him in Paris, July 4, last, aud displayed on tho flagstaff of the Eiffel tower, it being the only foreign llag ever allowed on the tower. W. II. Brearly, of Detroit, was indorsed by the Michigan delegates as candidate for president. T. B. Eldridge. of Lexington. N. C. denied the statement that the Southern delegates would move that. Colonel Shepard be not permitted to further address the convention. Mr. Eldridge stated that what tho Southerners had decided was that should Colonel Shepard f ur ther address the convention, they would not attend the meeting. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.

He nas Worked Hani for Six Months and Under Difficulties, rhiladelphta Inquirer. The President has had a very warm reception at his home in Indianapolis, not only from his own political friends but also from all honorable men who acquiesce in the choice of the majority and have a feeling of personal pride in the elevation of one of their townsmen to tho chief magistracy. It is pleasant to notice tho warmth of this reception, for it is as true now as twenty centuries ago that a great man is apt to have little honor in his own country. ' President Harrison has worked for nearly six months with tireless energy in the exalted olbce to which ho has been chosen by the people. His difficulties have been many and far greater than is generally understood. This country has not yet reached that point where party politics can be utterly dissociated from public affairs. Wo hone it will never reach that point, although, we believe that party interests must always be mado subservient to the public good. No President has ever been placed in such ft difficult position as General Harrison in relation to party politics. Ho is besieged by office-holders of past Republican administrations for reinstatement, as well as by multitudes of men who think their claims superior to these. President Harrison has not been unmindful of his party, but he has been, beyond everything, a President of the people. He has not escaped criticism within his party, as well as without, and this is fitting testimony to his conservatism. President Harrison has worked faithfully and has been eminentl3' successful thus far in his administration. Many things for which he is now criticised will eventually be spoken of to his credit. We adviso those who are given to hasty judgment to wait a whilo before condemning his administration. In tho meantime everyone rejoices at his hearty reception in the city where he has grown up aud become eminent. Are Doing It Already. Boston Journal. The Indianapolis Journal suggests that "it will bo in order now for American freetraders to unite with Europeans in opposing the All American Congress as a dangerous scheme to promote our industries at the expense of foreign." The American free-traders are doing this already, notably in those of their orgaus, like tho 'New York Commercial Advertiser, which are supposed to have specially intimate relations with British commercial interests.

RIDING INTO HELL. A War Story Told of Secretary Rusk A Daring Deed. WUlshlrs Batterfleld, in Milwaukee Sentinel. Uncle Jerry Husk, now Secretary of Agriculture, had his share of experiences during the war. At tho battle of the "Twentysecond of July," when tho heroic McPherson fell. Rusk was in command at the front and lost one-third of his meu. During the battle he was once fairly cut off from his command and surrounded by confederate soldiers armed with saber bayonets. His sword was seized and he was ordered to surrender, but, drawing his pistol, he used it with such deadly effect that he broke through his assailants and escaped with a slight wound in his leg and with the loss of his sword and horse the animal being literally riddled with bullets. At the battle of Jouesboro. Colonel Rusk followed Hood back into Alabama, then returned to Atlanta; and In Sherman's "March to the Sea" ho had command of the advance of the 'Seventeenth corps, having the skirmishers, pioneers, engineers and the ontoon train under his charge. In the arolina campaicn, from. Beaufort island north, he was breveted colonel, to date from March 13, lfcG5, and on the same day was breveted brigadier-general for gallantry at tho battle of Salkahatcbie, in February previous. A very exciting occurrence attended the crossing of that river. General Mower was in command of the division in which was the regiment commanded by Colonel Husk. The division was moving north from Beaufort directly toward the river, while the remainder of the army of Sherman was converging toward tho same point. Where the crossing had to be made, the enemy was in stroug force on the other side, and dofending the crossing with a heavy infantry column and batteriesof artillery. The only approach to the ford was along a narrow road through a swamp, which was then covered with water too deep to permit tho movement of cavalry or heavy guns. It was a position almost as strongly protected and as difficult of capturo as the celebrated bridge of Lodi. There was a race among all the divisions to first reach the crossing, and on the morning just before the point was within attacking distance Mower's division was in the lead, and the brigade in advance of the division was that to which Kusk's command was .attached. Mower rode up with his staff, and could not find the commander of the brigade. Ho inquired of Kusk where the officer was, to which the latter replied that he did not know, but that he was ready to move at once. Mower replied that he could not wait for the return of the officer,' but would move another brigade. Kusk was indignant that he should bo ignored.,'. "He did not wish," as he said, "to be cheated out of the lead." Going up to Mower, he said: "General Mower, I protest against being left behind, because it is not my fault that tho officer is absent. I want the advance." Mower, however, would not listen; ?he went away, ordered the division forward, and put the other brigade in the advance. Later, Mower seemed to have recalled the protest. He found the routo to the crossing an embarrassing one, whereupon he said to one of his staff officers. Captain DeGrasse: "Bring up that colonel who objected to remaining behind and we'll give him a taste of what he's yearning lor." Kusk received iho order from the aid, and rode up to Mower and asked him if ho had any orders. "None," he said. "Drop Tight down there,?' pointing to the crossing: "throw your men in and clear that road. I wish to f et to. the river. If yon don't do it right '11 know it. That's all; now go." Kusk got his command in position and charged down the narrow causeway that led to the ford, and which was swept by the shell and musketry of tho enemy. His men 7were cut down in dozens, but he persevered and gained the position after', a desperate contest. In the chargo a shell cut the brow-band of the bridio of the colonel's horso; the animal fell to the ground and threw tho rider over his head. Tho Colonel scrambled to his feet, and, although considerably brilCd, headed the column on foot. The same shell took off the head of his bugler and killed two other men who were immediately behind him. The tremendous cannonade demoralized tho staff of Mower, who were following in the rear of Kusk's column, and they took cover by leaving the causeway and taking refuge in the swamp, nut found that route impassable, and were obliged to dismount and make their way on f oot; 5; (Colonel Kusk carried the crossing. "I nwle the crossing," he says, "and was sucocful, as I thought, very successful. I reported back to Mower, who ordered another brigade in to relieve us, and then we went back into camp." He had scarcely reached camp when a messenger from ajowex ordered him to report to headquarters. , J $usk was nonplussed at the reception of this order, as he was not certain as to1 whether he was to bo commended or condexnued for what he had done. "I was in f doubt," afterward said Uncle Jerry, flower used to get a little full at times, and I did not know what to expect." He "fixed up" and rode over to Mower's quarters. Colonel Christainson was standing in front of Mower's tent as Kusk rode up, and offered to carry in any message which ho wished to send. Kusk . replied that he had been ordered to report to'Mower, and must see him in person. Just then Mower, from within the tent, called, "Come in, come in." Colonel Kusk pulled aside the flap of the tent, entered and saluted the General. The latter glared at him for an instant and then said: "Yes, sir, I sent for you. You arethe only man in this army that I ever aw who could ride further into hell than Mower, and I want you to take a drink with me." "I thank yon, but I can't do that, as I never drink." was the reply. "You don'tT Well, I should like to know how a man can ride so far into hell without a drink. Do you eat?" "Certainly I do, and would be glad to do so now, as I have not had a bite since morning." Mower ordered supper, and "always from that on," says Undo Jerry, "he treated me with the greatest kindness and consideration up to the' day of his death. I never asked anything from him during the remainder of the service that I failed to get. The last time I met him was at the reunion at Louisville, shortly before his death." General Sherman's Blunt Way. Milwaukee Sentinel. At one time the room was pretty full, when two large boxes of choice plums were Bent to the General's room. "Well, boys," said he, "help yourselves. This hand-shaking business is harder work than you think for, and while yon are eating plums you're not bothering me with questions." Then turning to a bevy of young ladies who stood timidly waiting at the door, he said: "Come alonjj, ladies, let us be done with this handshaking business." To one veteran the General seemed to be unusually demonstrative, shaking his hand earnestly, and in response to a remark that he, Sherman, alone remained of all the generals, said, while tears came to his eyes: "Yes, Sheridan was tho last one. Aud I will soon be with them." It was a pleasure to stand by and witness the scene and hear the many quaint remarks of the grizzled warrior, who, notwithstanding his brusque manner, has a big place, as everyone knows, in his heart for the old 6oldier. A Prejudiced Criticism. ritUbnrg Dispatch. The assertion of ex-Commissioner Oberlv that the publication of the eligible list will mark tho end of civil-service reform, is slightly tinged by the adverse disposition of tho "outs'' to criticise tho action of the "ins." It is not likely to harm anything to have tho lesulte of the civil-service examinations and the selections made therefore a public matter. "Drawing Talent of the Guelphs.
