EXTRA SESSI05 TALK

CONGRESS 31 AY BE CALLED TO 31EET EARLY IX OCTOBER. Currency Reform, Questions Grorrlnjr Oat of the Late War and Other Important Matters to lie Considered. M'KINLEY TO TAKE VACATION WILL SrE.D TWO OR THREE "WEEKS AT HOT SPIlINU!, VA. Tbree-Fonrths of the 3Ioner Lost In Speculation Taken from Farmers' Pockets, According to Mr. Powers. WASHINGTON. May 4.-There Is a growing belief among prominent members of Congress that the Prefident will call Congress to meet In extraordinary session this fall, probably early la October. The questions which will come before the next Congress for settlement. Including, as they do. everything growir.gr cut of our possessions acquired as a result of the war with Spain, and the general legislation including that relating to currency reform, the Nicaragua canal, merchant marine, etc., are of such great importance that the President is Inclined to regard it as advisable that Congress should meet earlier than the regular session In .December, in order to get the work under way. The retirement of Sneaker Reed will naturally entail considerable delay in the appointment of committees In the Hou?e, &i it is customary to allow a new speaker four or five weeks to make uo his commktees, and this furnishes an additional reason why Congress should be convened before December. Of the several senators and- members of Congress who are going abroad this summer the President has particularly inquired as to the length of their stay, and has hinted that it was advisable that they should be back In the early fall, as the necessity for an extra tesilon may arise. With others, It Is said, ho has discussed the subject, and, moreover. It was upon the President's direct suggestion that tho caucus committee appointed oy the House Republicans to formulate a currency rexorm measure met when it did. There had . been talk of postponing the meeting till fall, but the President suggested that it would be well to form a fclan' as early as possible, and this statement was made to the members when they met at Atlantic City as having come direct from the President, together with the further statement that the President might call Congre?s in extraordinary scsHon in the fall for the purpose, among other things, of passing a currency-reform measure. Representative Dalzell. of Pennsylvania, and Representative Curtis, of Kansas, both of whom are members of the caucus committee, saw the President to-day. When the former left the White House he said he had ro direct Information upon the subject of an extra session, but that he had all along regarded an extra sfon as more than probable. At the White House no continuation can be obtained of the statement that the President at present contemplates calling Congress together In the fall. Member? of the Republican caucus ecru mlttee who have returned from Atlantic City are scattering for their homes. General Henderson, the chairman, will remain here to confer with Senator Aldrirh. chairman of the Senate finance committee, on his return, from Europo shortly, and will arrange with him after going over the detailsof the currency-reform plan recommended by his committee for a joint meeting of the two committees later. Tnls joint session will probably not be held until fall. The" government has decided to establish a military post at Pyramid Harbor, Chilkat. near Chilkat village, Alaska. A company of regulars will be sent there at once. The. station is regarded as Important, as the new post will be near that point on the boundary line where some difficulties have heretofore occurred between American miners and the Canadian mounted police. It is staled rn?re that not much progress has been made towards the arrangement of a modus Vivendi to prevent further disagreements respecting the boundary line between this country ajid British Columbia. Canadian authorities have insisted that the conditions along the border were not so critical as had been represented on the American side, and that there was no such real emergency s would demand the adoption of a modU3. Their object, apparently, has been to endeavor to force an agreement of a permanent character respecting the boundary line by holding off from the adoption of a modus. That attitude h?.s proven to be extremely irritating to the United States officials. Grig. Gen. John C. Bates. United States? volunteers, detached from command of the Department of Santa Clara, arrived at New Tork to-day and was directed to proceed to Manila by way nf San Francisco and report to Major General Otis. Inquiry confirms In a measure the reports from Europe that the United States minister to Constantinople, Mr. Straus, ha3 secured assurance from the Turkish government that.lt will pay the claims of American missionaries for property destroyed during the Armenian troubles, some years ago. Several months ago Mr. Straus succeeded in Inducing the Porte to open negotiations on this subject, but so far as State Department advices show it would be erroneous to state that the Porte agreed to pay these claims, though having undertaken to consider them and having recognized the basis of the claim for compensation. there is every expectation that these claims will be adjusted. Colonel JEJarr and other officers of the judge advocate's office have been working for several days preparing an answer to a brief submitted to the attorney general in the case of Captain Carter. This brief conlair.s a large number of printed pases, but it 13 not sisned and the law officers cf the War Department do not know by whom It wa3 prepared. It is expected that he conclusions and argument made by ex-Senator Edmunds also will be submitted to the law officers cf the War Department for a report, -id reply If necessary. President McKlnley to-day decided to leavo the city next Monday and to remain away for two and possibly three weeks. According to his present intention, the President will spend his vacation at Hot Springs, Va. He In suffering from a slight attack of rheumatism, and is also feeling the strain which has been upon him fcr many months, lie is anxions to enjoy perfect rest and at ihe tame time to avail himself of hot baths, which will remove the rheumatic tendency. The arrangements for the President's visit have not yet been fully concluded, but It is likely that a special train will be provided for Mr. and Mrs. McKlnley and will leave here at 10 o'clock on Monday morning, reaching the springs at 5 o'clock in the afternoon- ' The Iresklent and his wife will he domiciled at the Homestead Hotel, as none cf the cottages are yet ready for occupancy. The hot springs are only eight hours' railroad ride from Washington, bo that the President could return at once to the capital If any occasion arises for his presence here. During his absence the President will transact only such business as absolutely requires his personal attention. John Hose, aged nineteen, son of Sam Hose, who was burned at the stake at Newran. Ca.. ten days agx. was to-day furnished transportation to Philadelphia by the District officials. He says his mother has gone there, and he asserts his father's Innocence cf eJther murder or rape. Mr. Legrande Power, for eight years labor commissioner of Minnesota, was before the Industrial commission to-day. He spoke especially of farming conditions in the Northwestern States, saying that the present tendency amon? farm hands was towards the ownership of the lands, and that a greater percentage of farmers now owned their own land than fifty yearn ago. He a!o expressed the opinion that the farmer who is in debt to-day ha ten time the opportunity to discharge his obligation than the farmer at the beginning of the century fcid. ilr. Power thought tho tendency waa

towards small farms, and addefl.that the wheat and cotton and other products grown by the small farmer controlled market prices. Mr. power also- said that many of the agricultural -colleges of the country were conducted upon lines calculated to attract boys educated by them away from the farms. Speculation in grain, he said, did not affect the prices of It except temporarily.nor affect the farmers except so far as they engaged In speculation. "You don't mean to say," suggested Governor Harris, "that the farmers speculate?" "They do." replied the witness. "Very largely they are the lambs which are shorn on the stock exchanges. Stop the farmers from gambling and you will stop it all. Three-fourths of the money thus lost Is lost by farmers." He thought that corporations and trusts should be strictly controlled and regulated by law, adding that in his view the country was drifting with "mad frenzy" towards disaster. All corporations should ba strictly controlled by the State In which they operate. He thought, however, it might take twenty-five years of legislation, litigation and experiment fully to work out the problem. The Fourth Regiment of Imraunw, Col. Pettlt commanding, will be brought home from Manzanillo. Department of Santiago, on the transport Dfciie. which Is due at the Cuban port to-morrow. The regiment will be relieved of duty In Cuba by the Tenth Regular Cavalry, about half of which recimer.t is due at Manzanillo to-morrow on the transport Logan. The Fourth Immunes will be taken direct to New York city nil thenc transferred to Camp Meade. MMdletown. Pa., where the regiment will lc mustered out. When the Logan returns to Cuoa rvlth the second Installment cf the Tenth Cavalry she will proceed to GIbara for 'he purpcre of bringing home the Second Regiment cf Immunes for muster-out. General Brooke telegraphed the "War Department to-lay that the Fifth Regiment of Immunes. numbering thirty-eight officers and 652 men. sailed from Guantanamo yesterday on the transport Thorms for Now York. This regiment will be sent to Camp Meade for muster-out. Information has been received at the War Department that the transport Grant has been quarantined at San Francisco 'or fourteen days on account of a few cases cf smallpox which developed among the troops' the brought from the Philippines. As soon as relieved from quarantine the troop ship will be overhauled and put In the best p's sible condition for a return trip to Manila with reinforcements for Ger.eral Otls's army. She may be ready to start about the 1st of June.The Italian government has extended for three months the time In which the last cf the Cerrutl claims may be paid by Columbia.

Scores of men who had been holding places In line sold out half an hour before the opening. Fifty dollars was the prevailing price. It Is estimated that 1.000 people sought in various ways to secure land. The streets of Durango were crowded and there was great rejoicing. There was no central starting point, and men were scattered along the Colorado and New Mexico lines for forty miles. From Durango several hundred of well-armed men began pushing to the front at daylight, all giving themselves ample time to reach the favorite sections. "Buffalo" Jones suddenly appeared near Ignaclo with three hundred followers from Guthrie, O. T. .and was met by Dr. E. D. Allen, who was prominent In the opening cf the Cherokee Strip.

Judge Speer Says Homesteads Cannot lie Considered as Assets. SAVANNAH", Ga,. May 4.-Judge Speer, of the Federal District Court for the Southern district of Georgia, has made an important decision under the national bankruptcy law. It Is to the effect that the United States courts have no Jurisdiction over a homestead taken by a bankrupt; that the homestead belongs to the state courts and cannot be considered in tho United States Court as an asset of the bankrupt; and as regards the homestead, the trustee of the bankrupt must look elsewhere than to the United States Court. The effect of this decision will be far reaching and will no doubt be the cause of many parties going into bankruptcy who have heretofore held out. MAY SUE FOR $15,000,000.

REBEL LOSS SEVERE

RESULT OF Tim SHELLING OF VAIL. LIMA, MATAAFA'S STRONGHOLD. Slany Insurgents Were Wonnded, and the I -ate Novelist Stevenson's House Was Riddled. CABLE FROM ADMIRAL KAUTZ SAY'S ALL IS Ql'IET. AXD TI1KRC WILL DEL .NO 310 a D FIGHTING. Report that the German Consul Refused to Join in a Peace Proclamation Not Yet Confirmed. AUCKLAND. N. Z., May 4.-Advices received here from Apia. Samoa, to April 27 state that the rebel loss by the shelling of the Mataafan stronghold at Valllima by the war ships of Great Britain and the United Spates was very heavy. Many of the rebels were wounded. The house In which the late Robert Louis Stevenson lived was riddled with shot. On April 22 there was a sharp skirmish between rebels and Lieut. R. A. Gaunt's brigade near the town of Valllima. In this engagement one Mataafan was killed. The lines of the friendlier were attacked in the darkness at two points, but none of them was killed. On April 23 there was some bush fighting. Lieutenant Gaunt's brigade, numberins 900 men, advanced under a hot fire. The enemy lost several men, the bodies of the dead being dragged away. Of the frlendlles one was killed and three were wounded. The British lieutenants, Innes, Hickman, Shuler and Heathcote, under Lieutenant Gaunt, led the loyalists. The New Zealand government steamer Tutaneckal has arrived at Apia with dispatches announcing the request of the international commissioners that the inhabitants peacefully await the arrival of the commissioners, who are now on their way to the islands from San Francisco. A meeting of the three consuls in view of this message , was held, but without result, the German consul dissenting from the propositions' of the other two consuls. Admiral Kautz, United States navy, and Captain Stuart, of the British cruiser Tauranga, ( wrote and dispatched through a French priest to Mataafa, ordering him to withdraw h!s forces outside of a line ten miles long and six miles broad. Mataafa replied defiantly, refusing to withdraw unless the German consul and the captain of the German cruiser Falke agreed. Admiral Kautz and Captain Stuart thereupon sent an ultimatum to Mataafa, threatening to compel the withdrawal of his forces. In support of this ultimatum a plan of action wm decided upon. Lieutenant Gaunt's brigade was strengthened and a heavy gun was landed at Mulinuu and war rockets were got in readiness. Being informed of these preparations, Mataata made prompt reply, agreeing, to withdraw Immediately. On April 20 an important meeting of the King and his chiefs was held. They were informed of the action that had been takn by the British and American naval commanders and gave It general approval. Lieutenant Gaunt's brigade is now patrolling the prescribed area. King Tanu visited Admiral Kautz and Captain Stuart on board the American and. English ships, respectively and was received with the customary salutes on his arrival and departure. Hutnagel, the manager of the plantation upon which an attack was made on British and American sailors, and which resulted in the death of Lieutenant Freeman, of the British navy; Lieutenant Lansdale and Ensign John R. Monaghan, of the United States cruiser Philadelphia, and two others, is still detained on board , the German cruiser Falke. The gun carriage from the Philadelphia which was lost at the time of the engagement has been recovered, but the gun is still in the hands of the rebels. Officials and leading residents of Samoa who have been interviewed unite in saying that the charges of inhumanity on the part of the British, which were made by a man named Laroch, are untrue. A majority of the inhabitants are highly dissatisfied with the cessation of hostilities. They say that Mataafa is beaten now and that the trouble would all be ended In a week or ten days were the advantage fmshed. The rebels are delighted at the deay, which will give them time to refill their cartridge sheils and build more forts. It is the general opinion that the Islands will be uninhabitable except for Germans and Frenchmen unless Mataafa and the rebel chiefs are severely punished. It is doubtful if American or British subjects will give much evidence before the International commission owing to the fear that if they express themselves candidly It would Interfere with trade relations. For this reason the evidence before the. commission is likely to be one sided. The statement by the German minister for foreign affairs. Baron Von Buelow, that Mataafa was unanimously elected King of the Samoan islands is denounced in Samoa. The rebels admit that the result of the battle at Valllima was the greatest reverse they have ever experienced. They were astonished by the manner In which Gaunt's brigade sustained its position in the faco of a continuous fire. They were also astonished at the final shelling of Valllima. by which many of the rebels were badly wounded. . .. ALL QUIET AT APIA. Dispatch from Admiral Kants on the Situation In Samoa. WASHINGTON, May 4. The following cablegram was to-day received at the Navy Department from Admiral Kautz. dated Auckland, May 4, and Apia, April 27: "All quiet at Apia. Mataafa and his chief agreed to keep outside lines prescribed by British senior officers present and to until commission There will be no more fighting." The cablegram was mutilated in transmission over the cables and In the process of translating the cipher. Its meaning is plain to the naval officials as confirming1 the press report that a truce has been agreed upon in Samoa, and there will be no mors hostilities pending tho reaching of a conclusion by the commission now on the way to the islands and due there in about two weeks. An official statement is made at the German embassy that strict instructions were given to the German consul at Apia, Samoa, to join with his colleagues. American and British. In a proclamation for tho suspension of hostilities until the arrival of the Samoan commission. Under these circumstances the officials are at a loss to account for the press reports coming via Auckland that the Germans refuse to join in the proclamation and are inclined to attribute it to antiGerman influence. The proclamation was to be addressed to the natives, and as the American. Drlt'ph and German representatives were to issue the proclamation all parties in interest, native and foreign, would be reached by the proclamation. The recent reports from Auckland that the natives are menacing the outskirts of Apia are not understood, as the instructions given to the German consul say that It Is a point of honor with him t see that the natives refrain from aggressive movements pending the arrival of the commissioners. At the British embassy no advices have been received concerning the reported refusal of the Germans to Join In the proclamation. Mr. Tower, the British charge, saw Secretary Hay to-day, ad this was understood to have been among the matters discussed. The interest which London is beginning to take in the Samoan question is indicated by the arrival here cf Sir John George Delgh, of the London Time?, who stopped here to meet officials before proceeding to Samoa. It is said he will be the first Tfpresentathe of a British paper there. HOSTILITIES SUSPENDED. Advices Received In Germany on Conditions in Samoa. BERLIN, May 4. The National Zeitung publishes to-day a dispatch from Apia. Samoa, dated April 22, which says: The orders from London and Washlngfon to suspend hostilltle have brought back

tranquillity and peace. In compliance with the demand of the German consul, Mataafa has gone bark a long distance westward Into the interior, so that there will be no dinger of any collision with his troops. We Germans are naturally satisfied that our patience and impartiality have finally triumphed." - ' ANOTHER LETTER FRQ3I KAUTZ.

The Admiral Snys lie Found the German Consul Arrogant. GEORGETOWN. O., May 4.-Mr. Frederick Kautz, of this city, has received a letter from Admiral Kautz, his brother, at Samoa, in which he recounts some of his recent official history already known to all the world. By way of information for his brother the admiral notes that the Berlin treaty provided that In case of the death of the King of Samoa the chief Justice should select his successor. This the chief justice did last August, when the King died, selecting his son Maleate. A revolution was started Jan. 1 and "the English and American consuls had to make a compromise and accept a provisional government to stop the war, with Mataafa and thirteen chiefs in charge, who were wanted by the German consul general and his adherents." Admiral Kautz then adds: "When I came I said to th American and English consuls: 'You did this because you were too weak to do anything else. Now that we are stronger let us undo the wrong,' and we did. I had no idea of doing anything but holding an investigation on what had been done here since Jan. 1, but the German consul general was arrogant and unreasonable, so that I was obliged to do something or suffer disgrace, even In my own estimation. I therefore concluded to do what ought to be done and refer the; matter to the government later on." The admiral says he followed Instructions literally and has no fears of consequences. ALGER SPEAKS AGAIN. He Says the Late War Has Taught Us to Be Prepared. DETROIT, Mich., May 4.-Russell A. Alger, secretary of war, was one of the speakers of the evening to-night at the fifteenth annual banquet of the- Michigan Commandery. Order of the Loyal Legion, in the Hotel Cadillac. There were present two hundred of General Alger's comrades, officers of the civil war. Responding to calls for a speech the secretary said: "I am glad to be here among my old comrades who know what war Is, and can appreciate the difficulties and drawbacks, and I know you're thinking to-night of our soldiers in far-off Manila, and thinking of them with pride. I assure you that, while they have had many hardships, incident to the tropical climate, etc., there has been not one complaint from that army of twenty-five thousand men. They have taught the world that to face an American army is to face that which is invincible. "We have learned during the past year the necessity to be prepared for war. Our soldiers landed in Cuba the 22d of June and on the 17th of July more of the enemy surrendered to them than there were of them. There is bound to be privation and suffering in the field. Some people thought the soldiers were net well treated and made much of the fact that some of the beef spoiled, but the boys did not murmur. I hope that these things have taught us to be prepared for emergencies. We cannot look far into the future, but we believe that what Is governed by a hand higher than ours will be for the best. "I trust that our flag, wherever it has been placed will never be hauled down. We are going to stay in those far-off islands with our forces until those people are able to govern themselves. The President said to me, 'Give those Michigan companions my love." Let us drink to the health of Companion McKlnley. Good night and God bless you." The toast was drunk standing. "The Republic and the Men WThO Saved It." was responded to; by Gen Horatio C. King, of New York. Alluding to recent national events he asserted that the country was expanding until he would not wonder if we owned the earth. "But," added the general, "the boys of 1SC1 are no back numbers. The boys of :S9S did grand things at Santiago, but if we of ISol had done no more fighting than that we would have hardly a half column In the newspapers. The people will'never forget the boys of 18C1 and their succession of mighty victories." General King ridiculed the complaints of some of the younger generation of soldiers regarding lack .of conveniences in the Cuban campaign. He declined to call them sufferings, for he denied there were any remarkable sufferings caused by lack of k supplies and equipments. .' GOOD CITIZENS ADJOURN. Resolution Adopted at Closing; Session of the National League. CINCINNATI. May 4. The third and closing day of the third annual convention of the National Good Citizenship League was devoted more to business than the sessions of previous days. Dr. Longstreet, of Boston, was a leading speaker on the single tax question at both the afternoon and evening sessions. In the absence of J. W. Arrowsmith, of New Jersey, his paper on the initiative and referendum as the basis of popular government was read by the' secretary. Rev. J. Q. A. Henry, of Chicago, delivered an address on Christianity and good citizenship, advocating that both would go with the expansion of civilization. Mrs. Charlton Edholro, of. the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, delivered an address on "Wage Slavery and Traffic in Girls." Major Hilton closed the convention with a resume of reform forces.

THREATS ATBUFFALO

GRAIN SRIOVELERS SAY TIIEV WILL TIE UP ALL LAKE COMMERCE. AH Employes of the Carriers Assocli tion to Quit Work To-Day Unless Demands Are Granted. MANY ARRESTS AT WARDNER OVER ONE HUNDRED ALLEGED RIOTERS NOW IN CUSTODY OF TROOPS. Soldiers Guarding Every Avenue of Escape from the Couer D'Alene DistrictGen. 31 err lam in Charge. BUFFALO, N. T., May 1 The grain shovelers and the .freight handlers have pronounced their ultimatum to the Lake Carriers' Association. At a mass meeting this afternoon it was announced amid great applause that unless the Lake Carriers' Association acceded to demands of the men by to-morrow noon the entire commerce of the lakes from Buffalo to Duluth would be tied up. Between 2.000 and 3,000 men were present. They were orderly but determined. The meeting was addressed by John M. Hennessey. President P. J. McMahon, of the new Shovelers Union, M. J. Foley, representing the men employed in the elevators, and others. Mr. McMahon announced that the time had come when the whole plan of the movement could be made known. "We have everything In our power," he said. "Unless the Lake Carriers' Association comes to our terms by to-morrow at noon the commerce of Buffalo and along the lakes will be tied? up. We have been working on this matter for weeks and know what we are doing. If we want financial help we can get all we need." He thanked the men for the good judgment they had shown in keeping quiet and orderly and cautioned them about getting into any trouble. In front of the hall there were about 700 Poles, members of the new Freight Handlers Union, and speeches were . translated into Polish for them. M. J. Foley announced amid loud cheers that to-morr6w at noon every man now working in an elevator would quit. "All we want is what is fair," he said, "but we will stand by you men to the end. The coal handlers who have been serving the lake carriers vessels have already quit work, the engineers will go out to-morrow and the contractors will do no more work on the docks in Buffalo." Therefore, at noon to-morrow, unless the grain sh.velers win their fight against the contractors before then, all union mea employed along the docks in this city will quit work. That will include the coal heavers, tally men, stationary engineers, firemen and all other men employed in the levators, freighthouses and other establishments on the docks. About 2.500 men will be affected by this move. In addition to the 1,100 grain shovelers already on strike. The work of unloading1 the big fleet of grain carriers now in port proceeded slowly to-aay, ana to-night there are between thirty and forty boats in the harbor waiting to be unloaded. The action of the Lake Carriers' Association In notifying Contractor Connors that they would support him in his right has given considerable strength to the contractors. It is said tonight that the association has decided for the present to relieve the contractors from paying demurrage for delays to boats during the continuation of the strike. James Corrigan, of Cleveland, president of the Lake Carriers Association, arrived in the city to-night, and in an interview stated that the association intended to stick by Mr. Connors, and, in case it should become apparent that he is unable to fulfill his contract and unload all the grain sent to this port, the grain will be shipped to Cleveland. Erie and down the. St. Lawrence by the Canadian canal route. The only effect of the strike, said Mr. Corrigan, if it continued, will be to destroy Buffalo's grain shipping interests. A conference between Contractor W. J. Connors, First Vice President Martin H. Murphy, of the State Federation of Labor, and P. J.
