The democratic caucus last night was a fail- The probabilities of an early meeting have been such as to hasten the speakership candi- ure. The territories question was discussed for three hours. There were as many factions dates into the canvass, so that it is now so far ‘advanced that an extra session is the only thing as there could be sides to the question, and no conclusion was reached.

Mr. Cox, Mr. Bland, anda present high pressure until December, and an extra session is the only thing that can relieve them. This i straw added to the other not very large minority, favored a policy of broad liberality toward the territories, Mr. Oates, Mr. Springer and others wanted no reasons, but it is not devoid of weight. The circumstances surrounding’ this Congress and | territories at all admitted, while Mr. Holman and his followers wanted to the whole drift of affairs tend to an early meet- admit Dakota as a whole only. It 5p is am the leading men at both ends of the capital, and the opinion appears to prevail that Mr. n will be obliged to Congress together. WHAT THE LEADERS SAY. A Srax reporter talked with several men to- day who have been thinking of the matter. Mr. Reed said that there were great many things that seemed to tend toward an extra session. It was, in hig opinion, entirely too early to know certainly about it, but present conditions and circumstances seemed to indi- cate an early meeting. It would be the necessity and not a desire for an extra session that would bring it about. He that he did not regard the failure of the democratic caucus last night as making it by any means certain that the territories would not be admitted. If the democrats were dis- sed todo theright thing there would be legislation on this subject this session. This, however, he did not think would of necessity obviate an extra session. It would be but one thing out of the wa: Mr. Browne, of Indiana, who is one of the republican members of fie ways and means committee, said that he expected an extra ses- sion, but thought it unwise for it to be called to meet before October. His principal reason for opposii an earlier meeting was the annoyance the presence of Congress and its ‘attendant army of office seekers would be to the new President on entering upon his administration. He thought thiscon- sideration and th tion that a spring session might not accomplish anything anyhow, would event the meeting of Congress Ist of tober, But he thought there wi extra session on that date. said, “that there will be a considerable reduction of the accumulating surplus this session, I do not think there is any prospect of the Senate tariff bill going through the House, What I am very certain will be done, is that on some suspension day the House will pass a bill repealing the tobacco tax, enacting the free list of the Senate bill, and may be a few other things to which there is no objec- tion. I expecta bill of this sort reducing the revenue about $40,000,000 will become a law this session. This will obviate the necessity for a spring session.” Reptescniative Nutting said that he certainly expected an extra session in the spring. tative Payson thinks an extra ses- sion desirable and that it cannot be avoided. ASrag reporter asked Mr. Farquhar if he ould be an extra session. ve of it,” he replied. Mr. Grosvenor said that he was opposed to an extra session, but that he very much feared that one would have tobe called. “I think it will be so,” he said. Mr. Rowell said he thought there would be an extra session. Mr. Cannon, one of the Speakership candi- dates, agreed with him, saying; ‘If the demo- crats don’t do more than they talk of, there is liable to be an extra session.” Both Mr. McKinley and Mr. Burrows, two more speakership candida’ have expressed the opinion to a Stag reporter that an extra session is very probable. Mr. Lyman says that it depends upon what this House doe: Mr. Darlington says it depends upon the size of the republican majority. If very small a session would be called. Mr. Romeis says he does not expect an extra session. He does not think it willbe neces- sary: The surplus, he says, will be reduced by 17,000,000 through the passage of the direct tax bill, and more by appropriations for fortifi- cations and other expenditures,and that would do very well until next December. Mr. 8. V. White says he thinks an extra ses- sion not at all unlikely. ON THE SENATE SIDE. The Senators are very cautious about speak- ing on the subject of an extra session, except when in conference with their colleagues. Senator Cullom said: “No one knows whether there will or will not be an extra session. If we succeed in passing all the necessary legisla- tion, why of course there will be no necessity for an extra session.” Senator Sherman said: ‘‘We cannot say any- thing definite as to an extrasession. That matter rcate almost entirely in the hands of Gen. Harrison. It wouid be impossible for me to say whether a session would be advantageous or not.” « Senator Manderson said: “If we are toler- ably industrious and succeed in ridding our- selves of the burden of legislation nowweigh- ing us down. there would be no necessity for an extra session. The incoming President is the man who will decide.” Senator y smiled in his usunlly amiable manner said he knew nothing about an ex- — or about the probabilities of such a Bs Applications for Pardon Denied. AMONG THEM ONE FROM THE DISTRICT OF CO- LUMBLA. The President has denied the application for pardons in the case of Henry C. Anderson, convicted in Arkansas of violation of pension laws, and sentenced August, 1887, to five years ing. An informal canvass has bee! le pears now that the only way anyth’ the interest of the territories can be session is by individuals acting without any arty caucus instructions. Those like Mr. Cox and Mr. Bland, who want the party to adopt a liberal policy, will probably join the republicans in’ an attempt to to secure the admission of South Dakota, Mon- tana and Washington, but in the absence of any caucus —— it will be very difficult to get the subject before the House. Once put to a vote there is no room to doubt that these bills would pass. ‘The difficulty will be to get a vote. THE BAD TUNNEL WORK. Extension of the Time Granted the Congressional Investigating Commit- tee. ‘The joint congressional committee, to inves- tigate the Washington aqueduct scandal finds it has more to do than ap- peared when the committee took the matter up. Calculations had been carefully made as to how long it would take to receive the testimony in the case, and it was expected that the whole matter would be cleared up by January 1. The committee now finds itself necessarily delayed by the work of engincer experts. The “sounding” process in the tunnel and the succeeding excavations and examinations require a good deal of time and it has been found to be im} ‘ible to se- cure a report until the middle—perhaps {the latter part of January. These facts were reported to the Senate this afternoon by Mr. Edmunds and the Senate agreed to ex- te ne time without limit.

REPUBLICAN.SENATORS AGAINST THE PASSAGE OF 4 BILL AT THIS SESSION. It is almost certain that the river and harbor bill will die in a pigeon-hole in the room of the Senate committee on commerce. The repub- lican members of the committee have infor- mally discussed the matter, and the chances are all against it. Senator Frye, it is said, has developed into a determined opponent of any river and harbor bill at this session. The re- port of the Senate committee on the last bill was practically pledge from the committee to the Senate that no appropriation would be asked for until the first of the Fifty- first Congress. That report sa; ‘The bill as submitted to the Senate appropriates €21.562,783.77, exceed- ing by $2,823.905.77 the largest appropriation ever made in a river and harbor bill. but when it is considered that no sppropriation for rivers and harbors was made last year, and that in the short session following a presidential elec- ion it is hardly probable that any appropria- tion will be made for the succeeding fiscal year, the bill practically represents a period of three Yearson a basis of $7,000,000 a year, consid- erably less than the average expenditure of recent years for river and harbor improve- ments.” Attorney Sellers’ Resignation.

RUSSELL HARRIGON IN NEW TORK—OSSIP ABOUT SENATOR QUAY'S VISIT—MORE CABINET RUMORS SEVERAL WANT TO BE PUBLIC PRINTER—TER ‘TRIP TO WASHINGTON TO BE WITHOUT ESCORT. ‘Vice-President-Elect Morton and Mra, Morton are now in Indianapolis, having left New York ro Buseell Harrison, the son of the During the day he is said to have seen Stephen B.Etkins, J. 8. Clarkson and W. W. Dudley. He said there was no politics in his visit east, and that he had no news to impart concerning cabinet making or anything else of interest to the public. He is described asa stoutly built man of over thirty years, somewhat below the medium height and of pleasant address. Sena- tor Quay has not yet started to visit Gen. Harri- son. although the New York Times’ Indianapolis special says: Col. Jno. C. New has received a telegram from Senator Quay saying that he would not get here until to-morrow night. There is a og ee in the minds of some that Senator Quay no? want to be here in com- pany with Mr. Morton and will defer his visit until next week; but this isonlya ‘ion and is not abe. Seats ee is hig! — at present. o to inion that Quay will do all in his power to make him Secre' of State. It is a curious fact that there much more anxiety to see Quay than there is to see Morton. Quay is the real republican hero, and all the Indiana republican politi- cians are ready to fall down and worship him. ABOUT TEE CABINET. The Herald says that it is the impres- sion here that General Harrison will know pretty well who will constitute his cabi- net by the time Messrs. Morton and Quay have finished their stay here, Mr. Quay will no doubt be listened to as to southern patron- age, and Mr. Morton's advice, it is thought, will go for a good deal in shaping the New York deals, but it is the almost universal opinion among the close friends of General Harrison here that if Mr. Morton comes here for the tting Platt into the cabinet he might as well have remained at home. Jobn C. New is outspoken agains? Platt, and no man will get very much recognition from Harrison if Mr. New says he does not deserve it. Upon this subject the Times man says that Gen. Lew. Wallace's local paper, the Crawford- ville Journal, is out in an editorial in favor of —~ him into the cabinet, and now it is un- rstood that he isan open applicant. Gen. Wallace has a good many friends, and, having had two foreign missions, he probably is not willing to be placated with them. So Gen. Harrisog thus has another complication added to the already complicated situation. GEN. HARRISON'S OLD COMRADES. The New York Times also says: “Among the mightier and most confident of the applicants | for places are the members of his regiment, *he Sevens eth Indiana, About 400 of these survive, aud it is said that 223 of them have applied for office.
