Additional Four Weeks to Be Devoted to Cuban Treaty with Ample Scope for Tariff Discussion Rural Free Delivery Matters WASHINGTON It now seems to be certain that President Roosevelt will call congress in extraordinary ses sion November 9 The extra session will be called for action upon the Cu ban treaty The president has in formed congressional visitors recently of his intention to call congress to gether in extra session on the date mentioned This will give congress nearly a month to work in before the date for the regular session The first Monday in December fixed by law for the regular session to begin falls on December 7 this year By beginning on November 9 there will be plenty of time to dispose of the Cuban tariff matter The program of the republican leaders in congress will be unless there is a change in their present intentions to permit the democrats all the opportunity they de sire during the extra session to dis cuss questions of tariff and reciproc ity and kindred subjects After the regular session begins little opportu nity will be allowed and republican leaders and committees will work to gether to prevent tariff taking up any time or hold any place of importance in legislative business What the pol icy and attitude of tne party will be on tariff in the presidential election will depend on future developments Rural Delivery A great deal of wild talk has been indulged in during the past few weeks as to the probability of congress aban doning the whole rural free delivery service as a result of the postoffice scandals That such talk is absurd is easy to understand when it is re membered that every member of the house whose district is not confined to a large city is directly interested in the maintenance and growth of the rural free delivery service It may be true that routes have been establish ed in districts which were not entitled to them when the population and pos tal business were consraered but on the other hand all members repre senting rural populations have been tarrred with the same stick Politi cal lines have never been drawn in the establishment of rural routes and during the past two years when con gress was in session ruy 10 per cent of the absentees could have been dis covered in the headquarters of the rural free delivery service urging upon the superintendent the necessity of consideration of routes in which each individual was directly interest ed Street Cars Running at Dubuque DUBUQUE la Street cars re sumed operations Sundays with four companies of militia guarding the companys property There was no disturbance Peter Expresses Satisfaction GENEVA King Peter has ex pressed his approval of the program for his reception in Belgrade which will include a gala performance at the theater Jews Denounce Russia LONDON A demonstration of thousands of East End Hebrews was held in Hyde park this afternoon to protest agianst the Kishineff mas sacre Speeches violently denounc ing the Russian government were de livered in Yiddish simultaneously from a number of platforms Reso lutions expressing sympathy with the sufferings and indignation and ab horrence of the Russian government were adopted unanimous FOR KING PETER Called on to Avenge Murdered Mon archs ST PETERSBURG An official note was published in the Gazette Thursday recognizing Peter Karageorgevitch as king of Servia and welcoming his ac cession In brief the note declares that it is incumbent upon King Peter to avenge the assassination of King Alex ander and Queen Draga and expresses the conviction that he will know how to severely punish the regicides whose misdeeds should not be visited on the entire Servian nation or army The text of the note follows A week has now elapsed since the day of the bloody revolution at Bel grade an intimation of which could not be given to the imperial govern ment in the customary official form be cause legal authority was lacking in Servia Strictly adhering to its standpoint of non intervention in the internal affairs of the Balkan states and at the same time finding it impossible to hold any intercourse with the persons who have arbitrarily usurped power Russia has awaited the conclusion of the troubles in order to define clearly its attitude toward the events in the kingdom of Servia The skupshtina and senate assem bled in extraordinary session June 1G the legal order of things was re-established and Prince Peter Kara georgevitch was unanimously elected king The prince complying with the re quest of the national assembly has consented to ascend the throne of Ser via under the name of Peter I Imme diately after the proclamation the new king telegraphed to the czar asking his imperial majesty to recognize him as king whereupon the reply of his majesty in confirmation of this was sent The imperial government while hail ing the election of the new monarch scion of a glorious dynasty and wish ing all success to the supreme head of the Servian people which is allied to Russia by ties of religion can nev ertheless not refrain from expressing the confident hope that King Peter will be able to give evidence of his sense of justice and firmness of will by adopting measures at the outset to in vestigate the abominable deed that has been committed and mete out rigorous punishment to those traitorous crimi nals who have stained themselves with the infamy attaching to regicides Of course the entire Servian nation or its army cannot Fheld responsible for the crime which revolts public con science yet it would be dangerous to Servias internal peace not to exact expiation for the revolution carried out with violence by the military Such neglect will inevitably react in an un favorable manner on the relations of all the states with Servia and would create for Servia serious difficulties at the very commencement of the reign of King Peter I Their Russian co religionists offer to God supplications for the repose of the souls of King Alexander and his con sort who have met an untimely end and they invoke the blessings of the Almighty on the rule of King Peter for the welfare and prosperity of the Ser vian people Jews Need Not Fear in Odessa ST PETERSBURG General Arsfi eff the new prefect of police of Odes sa in receiving a deputation of rabbis recently assured them that the Jews of Odessa could pursue their avoca tions without fearing anti Semite out breaks Harriman Not in Control SALT LAKE CITY Utah It can be stated officially and with absolute accuracy the Tribune says that while the traffic arrangements between Sen ator Clarks Salt Lake Los Angeles road and the roads constituting the Harriman system will have absolutely nothing to do with directing the oper ations of the Clark road which will do business with all roads entering Salt Lake City METGALFLET OUT SUPERINTENDENT OF MONEY OR DER SYSTEM REMOVED TROUBLE IS ABOUT CONTRACTS Authorities Deem Certain Indiscre tions Sufficient to Warrant Dismissal Two Firms Want Work Which Lowest Bidders Are Refused WASHINGTON As a result of al leged indiscretion in the award of con tracts for printing money order forms James T Metcalfe superintendent of the money order system of the post office department was removed from office by the postmaster general A full investigation will be made later The dismissal is the result of acts opposing the bid of Paul Herman of Rutherford N J the lowest bidder by 45000 and in favor of the next high est bidder the company of New York of which Mr Metcalfes son is an em ploye The story is briefly told in the fol lowing letter of dismissal signed by Postmaster General Payne Mr James T Metcalfe Superin tendent of Money Order System Post office Department Dear Sir You are hereby removed from the position of superintendent of the money order system The charges upon which your re moval is based relate to your actions in the matter of letting the contract for money order- forms It appears from your answer that when the pro posals of the different competitors for the contract of supplying money order lorms were opened Paul Herman of Rutherford N J formerly employed as foreman by the beck Crawford company of New York by which company it seems your son is also employed was found to be the lowest bidder his proposal being 45000 below that of the next high est bidder namely the company that the bid of Herman as submitted was reg ular in form and that he had deposit ed a certified check for 5000 as a for feit It further appears that within a day or two the company filed a protest against awarding the contract to Her man alleging that he was not finan cially responsible that a short time thereafter Mrl Herman called at your office and you advised him to with draw his bid and re enter the employ of the company understanding that at tho time such withdrawal would result in the contract being awarded to said company and consequently in a loss to the government that you offered to write and did write a letter to said company apprising it of your inter view with Herman and using your good offices in his behalf that you ad vised Herman that his 5000 deposit would probably be returned to him if he adopted your suggestion It fur ther appears that you regarded Mr Herman as possessing the mechanical qualifications requisite to the perform ance of the contract and that it was not any part of your duty to pass upon the question of his responsibility financial or otherwise It also appears that you did not acquaint your supe rior First Assistant Postmaster Gen eral Wynee with the fact that you had endeavored to have Mr Herman withdraw his bid It further appears that a hearing had been had before General Wynee on the question of the financial responsibility of Mr Her man although it has developed since the submission of your answer this morning that you discouraged such a hearing and manifested a desire that the contract be awarded to the company Very respectfully H C PAYNE Postmaster General Charged With Crookedness SCRANTON Pa A special com mittee was appointed by the select council to investigate an allegation that eight members of the body had banded together to hold

City MHHH M IHI11H t 3 C SOUTH OMAHA CATTLE There was a liberal run but quite a string of the arrivals was consigned through to the north and not offered for sale The market on fat cattle was rather streaked and sales were mado that looked all the way from barely steady to strong Tho beef steer market could not bo quoted much more than generally steady Some salesmen throught they got a little stronger prices while others said they had to hurry to get steady prices As a general thing the light and handy weight cattle sold if anything a little stronger where the quality was satisfactory while the heavyweights were a little draggy and no more than steady There were exceptions how ever to this rule The cow market was also about steady The better grades sold without difficulty and all that class of stock was disposed of at an early hour Grass cows how ever are difficult to sell at any price and are selling so unevenly that it Is hard to quote a market on them It is very evident however that they have been going down hill at a rapid rate The bulk of the fair to good kinds sell from 300 to 340 The common kinds sell mostly from 250 to 300 Fed cows of good quality are selling largely from 350 to 425 with choice grades from that up HOGS Receipts of hogs were quite liberal but still there was a decrease of about 2000 head as compared with the day before The market opened about 215c lower the greatest de cline being on the heavy hogs Trad ing was fairly active for a time but before 100 loads had been disposed of packers became more bearish and the close was slow and weak The light and common hogs sold in about the same notches witli the mixed hogs or in other words at 592 and 505 where the bulk of the hogs were landed SHEEP Quotations for clipped stock Choice

former President Cleveland as say ing It is perfectly absurd to suppose for an instant that I have any desire to re enter political life Nor have I remotely entertained a thought since 1 left Washington more than six years ago The matter is as far from my thoughts as in 189G when all must ad mit it was not within my nearing or sight I have no higher aspiration than to pass my days in peace with my family around me and take no part in politics which any private citizen cannot take with the utmost propriety I have not spoken on the subject of a fourth candidacy I have never written to a single political friend one way or the other nor have I been written to or spoken to by them There is not a political leader of any prominence endeavoring to advance any movement to nominate me in any state so far as I have been advised nor do I anticipate than any such ef fort will be made by any leader prominent or obscure in any locality Murdered by Negro Bandits HUTCHINSON Kan John New man
