‘
' [Legislature in 1899.
IN EXTEE SESSION
Congress May Be Called for
Next Month.
MUCH WORK TO BE DONE
‘Lawmukers Want Early Adjourn-
ment to Conduct Their Campaigns.
The President Wants to Have the
Currency Question Settled.
W'ashington, Oct. 4.—-Gossip has it in
political circles that a number of prom-
lnent members of the Senate and House
have su ggested to President McKinley
that it would be a good idea to call
Congress together in extra session on
the ninth day of November. It is said
“that the President has not yet fully
-made up his mind. The argument is
advanced that by so doing the legis-
¥~lators «could get to work nearly a
month earlier than if Congress met on
the 6th of December, the regular time
' for assembling.
Just before the House adjourned in
"Tuly Speaker Reed named the com-
mittees. Nearly all the Republicans
agree that if their party is to be suc-
icessful in the elections next year, it is
absolutely necessary that the coming
session should be brought to a close at
'he earliest possible moment. To have
Congress remain inactivity until July,
August, or possibly September, of 1898,
means that the average Republican,
who is renominated, cannot get out in
this district to run his campaign, and
this is a most important matter to
those who will have to run in districts
that are close when party lines are
.tightly drawn.
The President, according to some of
'diS political friends, wants to have the
currency question settled. The belief
fis general that he will recommend to
LCongress that the recommendations
“)f the Monetary Commission shall be
adopted, and the chances are that the
:anti-gold standard Senators will fight
lthat proposition to the last ditch.
'There will be the Cuban question to
‘consider, unless the rebellion should
tend, and the Hawaiian annexation
ttreaty is another momentous matter
ltha‘t will have to be considered.
Ordinarily the appropriation bills
_.-':onsume from six to seven months be-
rficre they can be disposed of. Speaker
:Reed is known to favor an extra ses-
-~sion, but it is not stated. that he would
oersonally request the President to call
it. It is understood that he prefers to
leave the whole matter to the Presi-
dent.

PLAN TO FREE CUBA.
--'Report that Our Government Would
munmtee $200,000,000 to Spain.
ZNew York,‘ Oct. 4.—A report has
reached this city from Havana regard-
ing a plan to free Cuba. It is generally
believed in that city that in case the
Spanish Government should accept the
:good offices of the United States to end
Ithe war in the island the American
Government would try to reach an un-
derstanding with the foremost revolu-
'tionary leaders before offering to Spain
any form of settlement.
This belief, it is said, is supported by
trustworthy advices from Washington
and Madrid. The plan most likely to
,be followed would take the form of an
’offer to Spain of $200,000,000 for her
-..-recognition of the independence of
ZCuba. This indemnity would be paid
‘.’n.cash, and to raise the money the re-
:goubl‘ic would issue bonds, based on the
customs 'receipts and guaranteed by
the United States Government. The
American Government would have the
full management and administration
1f the custom houses of Cuba until the
total debt should be paid by the share-
1olders of the loan
It is said that 11 iii; plan w; ll be backed
by a poweit‘ul syndicate of financial
men of the United States and will be
suggested to Spain in case of a favor-
able answer to Minister \Voodford’s
'1'ie11dly note.
It is'T‘estimated that under the honest
management the custom houses of
Cuba- in normal times would yield a net
tinnual revenue of $18,000,000. All the
business men and landowners of the
'sland'would probably favor the plan.
The greatest difficulty in its way would
be to secure the consent 01? the Banco
Hispano Colonial, of Barcelona, which
.epiesents the shareholders in the
Spanish loans of 1886 and 1890.
CLEVELAND FOP. JUDGE.
’ilis Friends Approach Gov. Grig'gs,
but Get Little Encouragement.
Trenton, N. J., Oct. 4.——.-The return of
' the family of ex—President Cleveland to
Princeton has again started gossip as
.10 the futu1e of Mr. Cleveland. \Vithin
the ast \\ eek it has been suggested by
Newf Jersey Democrats that he might
be chosen to succeed United States Sen—
1:01-Smiih if the Democrats control the
W1 in so many am-
bitious Jerseymen in line, howeVer, the
' chances of the ex—President are not re—
garded as very promising, and some of .
‘ his friends have started a movement to
Lhave him appointed judge of the New
.Jersey Court of Errors and Appeals to
"succeed the late William L. Dayton.
Conspicuous alumni of Princeton are
interested in the movement, and Gov.
Eriggs has been approached. The Gov-
ernor is said to have been non-com-
.milttal, but as he has declined to ap-
”point several Republicans from this
' tounty on the ground that other coun-
ties should receive consideration, there
its doubt expressed as to his willingness
.to appoint Mr. Cleveland.
‘ Heads on the Block.
Washington, Oct. 4. —'The Department
of Agriculture is financially embar-
~assed‘, and,,,,aithough it is not likely to
“be forced into the hands of a receiver,
stringent retrenchment is the order of
the day, and'discharged employes are
'likely to be numerous. Yesterday
- twelve .Women clerks were laid off, and
further reductions will follow every
\{ew days during October.,
Inadequate appropriations are said to
”be the cause, but it is considered
strange that this condition has only,
' just. been discovered, and that those
selected for discharge ,should have been
-placed on the rolls during Sterling Mor-
.'ton’s regime.
Arrested the Sulvationlsts. -
7 Trenton, N. J., Oct. 4.—Capt. Hurd-
"‘man and five other members of the .
"Salvation Army were arrested last
evening while conducting services at
Broad and Front streets. in the centre
of the city. They were taken to the
.police-station and locked up. One 01'
them. who has'a sick wife, accepted an
«offer of bail, but the other five" refused.
LADIE_S_, TOG.
They Know a Good Thing
When They See It.
Many a wom in has felt the depths of
humiliation when her head, filled to
suffocation, and matter running from it
down her throat was causing intolerable
nausea. she has been forced either to
hawk and spit, or to swallow the disgust-
ing matter she knew was causing the
trouble. Many a. woman can remember
when, just as she was making a special
effort. to be entertaining and to please,
her words were choked oif by the same
never ceasing dropping of matter down
from her head into her throat. What’s
that? You’ve felt it? Of course you have;
few in this climate escape. But though
misery loves company, that doesn’t
make this cross much easier to bear.
But to bear it, to endure all the in—
convenience, humiliation, actual misery
resulting from the disease which causes
this trouble, is not necessary. Not at. all.
You can check it at. once, you can re-
move it in a week, \011 can cure it. in a
fortnight. And by the simplest means,
with no trouble, and at. an expense so
trifling as to be almost nothing. Hun-
dreds of women in Norwalk have tried
it, and they know. Listen to what. one
of them says:
Mrs. G. b. Borst lives at No. 1 Bur-
bank st-reet, South Norwalk. She
says: “I think California Catarrh
Cure is lovely; it has cleared my
head and. throat wonderfully, and
above all helped my headaches from
which I had not; been free . for
a long time. I had tried lots of medi-
dine, but never got much help, and read-
ing so much of C. C. C. I went. to Plais-
tea’s drug store and got a bottle.
eii'ect has been all that I could ask, and
the best feature of it is that. it relieves
at once. ”

SLANDER SUITS FOR $400,000.
Following the Breaking of a. Mur-
ringe "Engagement.
New York, Oct. 4.-——Tw0 slander suits
for $100,000 damages each, brought by
James T. Hatfield, of Hackensack,
against Elias H. Sisson and his son,
Elias H. Sisson, .112, of Tenafly, N. J.,
will be filed in this city to—day.
The Sissons are wealthy, the father
being a director of the Northern Rail-
road of New Jersey and the owner of
a weekly publication of this city~de~
voted to amateur athletics. Father
and son are members of the Tenafiy
Club, an exclusive organization, are
prominent in society circles, and are '
credited with being Democratic local
leaders.
Hatfield met his employer’s daugh-
ter, Miss Nancy May Sisson, and be-
came enamored of her. Several months
ago their engagement was announced.
Society was looking forward to a June
wedding when suddenly it learned that
Miss Sisson had gone to Wisconsin and
that the engagement was off.
Hatfield wants damages on the
ground that the Sissons caused him to
lose money in business, prestige in so-
ciety, and a prospective bride. In ad-
dition to the suits to be filed in this
city to-day, he has begun duplicate
suits in New Jersey, so that the entire
amount involved is $400,000. In New
York his counsel will be Edward A.
Sumner, and in New Jersey the {firm
of McEwen & McEwen.
N EBRASKA’S GREAT PROSPERITY.
Clearing House Figures for Septem-
ber Tell a Phasing Story.
Omaha, Neb., 0c 4..—The extraor-
dinary business activity in Nebraska
is indicated by the Clearing House re-
port for September. The report shows
Omaha figures: For September,
$13,000,000; for September, 1896, $13,-
000,000; for September, 1897", $23,000,000.
This shows an increase for the month
of $10,000,000. The local bankers at-
tribute the great improvement to the
great quantity of money handled as a
result of the movement of crops and
the revival in stock trade and other '
commercial business.
The payment of an enormous amount
of mortgages was noticed during the
month. A great deal of money was
also loaned on real estate in the in-
terior-of the State, with which to open
up new farms. This great impetus
given the money market is not confined
to the local banks, the bankers of the'
city declare, but to the entire State,
and to the States of Kansas, South
Dakota and Iowa. It is the best show-
ing ever made in the history of the
local Clearing House.
The bankers declare that even a more
pronounced improvement may be ex"
pected next month. Much more money
is being bo1rowed throughout the
State than was the case three months
ago. The complaint then was that the
farmers had all the cash they wanted
and the banks could not lend their cap-
ital. Now the farmers are beginning to
invest heavily in additional lands and
stocks. The money is being loaned 2
per cent. cheaper than ever in the
State’s history, and securities are not
being examined as carefully_ as previ- .
ously.
A Case ofExpeerental Suicid’e.
Journalistic enterprise has led to a
curious insurance case in Paris. M.
Henri Martin, chief editor of the Cour-
ier de Lyon, was found dead in his
room, hanging from a cord passed over
a hook in the ceiling and attached. to
a dog collar round his neck. His life
was insured for 30, 000 francs, which.
the insurance company refuses to pay
on the ground that he committed sui-
cide. He had, however, been publish.
ing articles on the scientific side of
hanging, and was preparing one de-
scribing the sensations of a hanged
man. The counsel for his family will
contend that he was making experi-
ments on himself, and that his death
was accidental. ‘ «_
