Representative Alderson of West Virginia, who had a hard fight in bis district and won it, thinks that the democrats ought not to forget that the force bill had something to do with the party victory. Speaking with a Sran reporter today he said on the subject of an extra session of the Fifty- third Congress: “I think that is a matter that can be very eafely left in the hands of Mr. Cleveland. We are not going to turn the world over in a day. We must not forget that the force bill had something to do with the result of the election. We have got to have more revenue and lower taxes, “We, the people, want the duties on neces- saries of life reduced. We can do that and it will bring in more revenue. My idea is that the duties on necessaries of life should be very materially reduced and those on luxuries in- creased. e bave this work before us and I think have time enough to do it in, and the question ofanextra session can be very safely left to Mr. Cleveland.

Sergeant-at-Arms Yoder of the House of Rep- resentatives has returned from Ohio, where he spent some days after election “jollifying,” as hp expressed it, “If yon will recall,” he mid to a Stam re- porter today. “an interview printed in Tur Stax shortly before the election, in which I said that I could name many prominent repub- licans in my own town in Ohio who had de- clared that they would vote for Cleveland, you can appreciate why it is the result of the ‘clec- tion did not surprise me. “The McKinley bill I consider to be the cause of the overwhelming popular revolt throughout the United States, and this,coupled with dis- satisfaction among the laboring classes in my state, were the reasons why Ohio came so nearly going democratic. Why if half of the members of our party in Ohio had taken the trouble to go to the polis ‘we would have carried the state by a big ma- jority. It was not the ing of a large democratic vote which made the change, but the unprecedented number of republicans who cast their votes aj t their own party “Homestead, you know, is within sij Ohio and the Inbor troubles there had a weighty effect. The laboring people said to the republi- can managers, ‘You promised us protection, but all we obtained is lower wages than ever be- fore, and now you propose to take away from us our only safeguard—organized labor.’ This was the daily cry. “I beliove there will be an extra session of Congress, but hardly think it will be called just after the inauguration. It will come about the first of October. There are a number of chanj in the tariff rates which should be made and in order that s good start ean be obtained and beneficial results may be had, it will be neces- sary to begin early in order to have a good start.” THE CHINESE TREATY. It is Considered at the State Department to Be Stil in Force. ASondan cablegram containing the informa- tion that in the course of correspondence be- tween the Britich and Chinese governments the latter maintained that the treaty of 1380 between China and the United States had been broken by the passage of the Chinese exclusion act was made the subject of inquiry at the De- partment of State today. ‘As farns can be léarned there has been no correspondence with the Chinese government since that treating of Minister Blair's re- fection that contained any reference to the treaty, and the only allusion to the subject embodied in that cor- dence is a complaint that by the of exclusion act the United States vio- lated one of the treaty provisions.

It is Not Known Which Way the Comet te Going. New Yorx, Nov..28.—Tho comet has lost two. attributes which make it an object of gvent popular interest. “It is moving further away from the earth and losing its brightness rapidly,” said Prof. * Rees of Columbia College to @ reporter today, “and there is no danger of its coming into col- lision with our earth and «sensation unless through some unforeseen ences its orbit is changed. Very little can be stated ly in re~ gard to the comet and its future until the ob- servattons which have been made upon itere figured ont. It would seem to me now that its period is five years and that its «peed has tly increased. Observations indicate Eis teevalgronny bein on, ont Oo Bas itis losing its brightness, while not proof itself of receding, tends to confirm this. “Everything so far 1 have observed Jeads me to believe that it is not Bicla's comet, and I a nothing in support of the theory that it is.” ‘Other astronomers declare that the comet is coming toward the earth and that it may be eo close on Saturday or Sanday night as to a fine meteoric display. Among Well-known astronomers belief are Prof. Young of Princeton, Swift of the Warner observatory and Dr. Elkin of Yale.
