THE MONROR DOCTRINE MUST BE PROCLAIMED. The talk of an extra session of Congress seems to have broken out anew. It fs now Claimed by those who really wish @ session to be called that the activity with which De Les- seps is pushing his fsthmilan canal should call forth an expression from Congress before next winter that the canal, if completed, must be under American control. This, itis argued, is @ declaration which shouid have been made by the last Congress, and to have It made by a Special Session of the new republican Congress will be a feather in the cap of Soth the admin- istration and the party. It 1s reported that Senator elect Frye sald yesterday that Secre- tary Blaine now fayored a special session to be called tn May.
