CONGRESS TO MEET.

The Report That an Extra Session Will Be Called for September Confirmed— Questions to Be Considered. NEW YORK, April 1.—A Herald special from Washington says: Ample confirmation of the announcement that President Cleveland would call an extra session of congress in September was given Friday. Mr. Cleveland sent for Mr. Crisp and informed the speaker that an extra session of congress would be called in September. The two gentlemen discussed the situation at some length. The chief questions which will be considered at this extra session are the tariff and the repeal of the Sherman silver purchase act. Mr. Cleveland informed Speaker Crisp that the administration, through Secretary Carlisle, would have by that time sufficient data on hand regarding the reduction of the tariff to make the work of the committee on ways and means in the preparation of a tariff bill comparatively easy.
