Moreover, the president does not | want the Fifty-seventh Congress con- vened until the time fixed by law for its regular assembling and this fact is well known to republican mana- gersin both houses. The failure of | the army reorganization bill, or any of the general appropriations, would make an extra session imperative, but at this time there is nodanger of such a contingency. ‘The army bill will be taken up by the senate, after the holidays, and the date of its passage will be deter- mined largely by the attitude of the advocates of the shipping bill If they decide to recognize the ine, ita- ble and agree not to unduly press their measure the army bill will be disposed of within a few days. On the other hand, if it be discovered that Senator Hanna and Senater Frye are determined to hold the ship- ping bill before the senate and that they can depend upon the support of a majority for that purpose, the op- position will undoubtedly the army bill to consume as much time as possible, holding it before the s-nate until the legislative appropri ation or one other of the appropria- tion bills is ready, when it will be permitted to pass. The fact is that the shipping bill cannot be passed at this session, and that must be ap- parent to Senator Hanna and Sena tor Frye. The opposition will use the army and appropriation bills to consume time, and as these measures will be given precedence of the shipping bill there will be no trouble in nursing them in such manner as to strangle the shipping bill. Itis folly to as- sume that Mr. Hanna will interpose in any event to prevent the passage of these imperative measures. It is even worse than folly toassume that he could make his efforts effective, even if he should interpose. The army bill and all the general appro- priations will be atfirmatively acted upon. Of that there is not the slizhtest doubt; it is also very prob- able that the reapportionment bill will be passed by the two houses. If there is to be anextra session the president will not have failure of any of the imperative measures asa cause for action. Furthermore, it is not atall probable that he would call congress in extra session to consider the shipping bill, whose failure at this session may be said to be sured. use as- Await Christ’s Second Coming.

Princeton, Ky., Dee 27.—Last night, at Iron Bridge, in a remote part of this county, Will Mercer and Elmer Robinson became engaged in a difficulty which will result in the death of both. Mercer, who is a youth of 19, was selected to act the part of Santa Claus at a Christmas tree against the wishes of Robinson, who wanted the role himself. During the progress of the enter- tainment Robinson approached Mer- cerand demanded that he remove his disguise and allow some one else to be Santa Claus. This Mercer re- fused to do, and began shooting at his assailant. Robinson drew a large knife and stabbed Mercer nine times in the breast and right side. . Three bullets from Mercer's pistol took effect in Robinson’s At present the'death of both men is momentari- ly expected. Both are members of prominent families. The affray be- gan while the church was packed with people and resulted in a panic. Sev- eral were more or less injured during the rush abdomen. Leprosy in the Philippines.
