(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Oct. (dpeclal.)-The
extra suasion of congress to meet Monday,
November V, to consider our trade rela
tion with Cuba will be the fourteenth ex
traoiuinary session of congress In the 114
yearn of our national existence. The power
veatid In the president by the constitution
aa to the convening of congress on extraor
dinar occasions has been exercised by
eleven presidents since the adoption of the
constitution, namely, John Adams, Jeffer
son, Madison Van Buren, William Henry
Harrison, Pierce, Lincoln, Hayes, Cleve
land, McKlnley and now by Mr. boosevelt
In view of the reasons which prompted the
cal) of the fourteenth extraordinary session
of comreas, the ratification of the reci
procity treaty with Cuba, It is Interesting
to look bark and to see Just what prompted
president Boosevelt' predecessor! la call
ing congress together out of the time
fixed by the constitution when It should
meet In regular session.
The first extraordinary session called by
President John Adams convened on Mon
day, May 16, 1797, and was railed on ac
count of the suspension of diplomatic Inter
course between the United States , and
France, growing out of the Jay treaty. In
relation to the West India possessions. This
was the beginning of the Fifth congress.
We had no extra session again until the
eighth congress, which was convened bv
President Jefferson on Monday, October 17,
1908, and had direct relation to the purchase
of Louisiana.
soaae Troubles' with Britain.
Two congresses later, the Tenth congress,
the third extra session - was convened by
President Jefferson and had relation to the
attack ' upon Cheasepeak by . Leo
pard and the selture of the alleged de
serters from ths British navy tinder the
'right of search" claimed by Great Brit
ain. The recommendation of the passage
of an "embargo" act by President Jeffer
son was promptly acted upon by the senate
and house, and liberal appropriations were
Voted for gunboats and for coast and tiar
tor defenses. We were getting ready for
our oeoond war with Great Britain. Four
year -later- lull,- President Madison -convened
Ut Twelfth congress on November
I. ot that ytar to consider questions grow
ing out of our strained relation with En
gland. The war spirit of the day was
strikingly shown In the election of Henry
Clay as speaker over W. W. Bibb of
Georgia, the peace candidate, by a vote of
75 to 38. During this session customs du
ties were doubled, 13.000.000 worth of treas
ury notes were authorised and a 6 per cent
loan of lll.000.ooo was granted so that when
President Madison Issued his proclamation
of war against Great Britain the govern
ment was as fully prepared for the emer
gency as possible.
The nrth extra session was called In
September, la 4 to consider negotiations
then on foot with Oreat Britain for a re
turn to peace or order a more effective
prosecution of the war. The congress as
sembled In Washington ' under peculiarly
distressing circumstances. The city had
been nearly destroyed by the navy and the
Army of Great Britain. The captlol was
charred and blackened. Desolation reigned.
There was discontent In the New England
states oyer the expressed dot I re of some
of the leader of the president' cabinet
to still further prosecute the war. A great
treasury deficiency faced the legislator
as they came Into the capltol of the United
State. Fortunately the war was brought
to an end through the treaty of Ghent and
the bird of peace spread Its wings over
our country once more.
Finance Reqalrea Attention.
Not again until 1837 was there reason
for an extra eeeslon. president Van Bureu
convened the con (trees on September 4. 1S37,
for the purpose of taking cogr.ln.-e of a
deficit In the treasury. The only measure
Of relief proposed by President Van Buren
was the plan of the subtrearury. thereby
divorcing- the government and all Its op
erations from banks. While Van Buren s
proposition failed treasury note were is
sued and this, though less in amount than
recommended by the president, brought
temporary relief.
- On May 81. 1841, an extraordinary session
of congress was called by President Wil
liam Henry Harrison, to take up matters In
relation to the finance of the country. And
It was during the Twenty-seventh congreaa
that the first distinctly national bank net
Was passed.
The Thirty-fourth congress having failed
to make aproprtatlons for the army an
extra session was called by President
Pierce.- meeting three duys after the close
of the first session of that congreaa,
. The ninth extra session began the famous
Thirty-seventh congress, railed by Presi
dent Lincoln, on acount of the opposition
to .aws of the United State on the part
of certain of the southern states, who were

VIENNESE ASK ABOUT ASTOR
Niece of King Edward Raid to liar

VIENNA, Oct. .-(New York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) Crown Prin
cess Marie of Roumanla has arrived here
accompanied by youiig Waldorf Astor and
Ms sister, Pauline Astor, who have been on
, "her long visit to the Roumanian court
-harest. They are having a very
' ' 'ogether In Vienna. The crown
,, vlece of King Edward, being
, ' r of his brother Alfred,
dukv. , -tjy h and of Saxe-Coburg
and Go " was born In England and
married ' ,i Prince Ferdinand of
Roumanla ton years ago. Bhe Is the mother
of three, children.
A Roumanian court official tells the
World correspondent that the story that
Miss Astor la betrothed to Foreign Minis
ter Bratlno of Roumanla la quite dis
carded, although originally It was cred
ited, snd that young Astor really Is the
persona gratlssima in the crown princess"
household. "
The crown princess Is extremly clever,
dashing and unconventional, almost. In
deed, a realization of Offenbach's grand
duchess. She "rules the roost" absolutely
at Bucharest, despite the frowns of Queen
Elizabeth (Carmen Sylva).
In Viennese court society people merely
shrug their shoulders when some fresh
manifestation of the crown princess' dis
regard of the conventionalities Is men
tioned. Now they are asking: "Who Is
this good looking young American that Is
ever at her slde7"
The visit of King Leopold' to Emperor
Francis Joseph was made very disagreeable
for the Belgian king, owing to the studied
cool demeanor of the emperor. When
Leopold stepped from the railroad car he
advanced effusively to the emperor, evi
dently Intended to kiss him on both
checks. But the emperor held him stiffly
at a distance, giving him two fingers to
shake. When Leopold, looking awkward
In the unaccustomed costume of an Aus
trian colonel, drew himself back, his shako
fell off and was handed to him by a foot
man. He also had considerable trouble
with his cavalry sword, as he had to carry
a stout enne In his left hand to support
himself, as he has grown so feeble. He
realised painfully that the whole thing
was a frost, especially when he saw not a
single decoration anywhere In his honor.
The emperor has strongly advised Leo
pold to make friends with Countess Lonyay
and end a palntul scandal before Europe.
But Leopold's vlndlctlvcness toward hi
family now amounts to a mania, and It Is
not believed that he will act upon the
emperor' advice. The Countess Lonyay Is
King; Leopold's second daughter. Her first
husband was Archduke Rudolph, Emperor
Francis Joseph's only son.

FATHER KILLS TWO CHILDREN
Indiana Farmhand Mnrders Boys Who
Lived with His Estranged
Wife.
MARION, Ind., Oct. 25. Jesse McCIure, a
farmhand, murdered his two sons, aged 6
and 7 years, this afternoon, leaving their
bodies In a cornfield. While a mob was
forming to capture and lynch him McCIure
drove on a run to this city and gave him
self up. He has been secreted by the au
thorities, who fear attempted violence.
McCIure lived near Frankton and had
separated from his wife a year ago, she
refusing to live with him and returning,
with her children, to her father's home. At
noon today McCIure h.red a rig at Elwood
and drove to the father's farm. He found
the children playing In the front yard and
Induced them with candy to take a ride
with him. He drove a mile up the road,
carried the children to a fence corner and
shot them with a revolver. The older one
was found dead a few minute later and
the younger was dying, a piece of the candy
till being In his mouth. McCIure fled and
waa pursued by a crowd of young farmers.
The alarm was given and from ah sur
rounding town armed pursuers started.
McCIure succeeded in reaching the Jail here
without being stopped. Intense excitement
prevails.
To the Jail turnkey, McCIure admitted the
murder of his two children and said he had
killed them because his wife had left him
and refused to see him. Bald he:
When she refused to see me I decided
to be revenged and drove down the road to
a little clump of small trees. My two
children were asleep In the buggy. When
I stopped the Jolt awoke my little boy,
Dee. He looked up to me and said: "Papa,
what ara you going to do 7" I put my hand
over his eyes and took my run from my
fiocket and shot him In the forehead, kill
ng him Instantly. The shot awoke little
Homar and I took him by the shoulder and
fired a shot Into hla head. They both fell
to the bottom of the buggy. I drove the
hornea to the aide of the road and lifted the
bodies out and laid them out on the with
ered grass. I then drove directly to Marlon
to the Jail and am here to give myself up.
The neighbors will lynch me when they
find out what I have done. I do not care
what you do with me. I am ready to die
and expect to hang for this crime. All that
I ask Is to see my dear little ones burled.
Late this evening it was learned that
a mob was being formed to come to
Marion tonight and lynch McCIure. Deputy
Sheriff Williams spirited the murderer
away from the Jail and started with him
to Indianapolis.

Three Blasts Exploded.
The tunnel was being bored by opening
a perpendicular embrasure In the face ot
the bore and blasting the sides to the right
and left of the embrasure. Three blast
were arranged by the drillers, the holes
being charged well toward the roof. The
drillers withdrew and the three blast were
set off In rapid succession by electricity,
loosening large quantities of earth and
rock. The drillers say that about ten min

away before Timothy Sullivan, the fore
man, and Electrician Schuette advanced,

hang electric lamps to light the way. They
were followed by sixteen workmen. The
vanguard of the gang, had' reached the
broken stone when a rumbling sound was
heard. It grew in volume with lightning
rapidity. Those In the rear had Just time
to turn about and run when, with a deaf
ening crash, hundred of tons of rock fell
on the men at the face of the boring. The
driller and two or three Italians who
were out of reach of the deluge of rock
were knocked flat on their faces by the
rush of wind driven through the tunnel.

cident was caused by criminal negligence.
The seams which appeared Saturday aro
believed to have been about the great rock

as a keystone was released the stones on
both sides, which had been loosened, fol
lowed It The fall of stone continued some
minutes until all the dislodged piece had
fallen Into the tunnel.
From men who had worked In the tun
nel It was learned that props had been
used to hold up the roof. The heavy tim
bers, 12x12 inches, were crumbled like
toothpicks beneath the tremendous weight
of the cave-In.

GUARDSMEN TO GET THEIR PAY
Hitch In the Proceeding, bnt Matter
Is Finally AdJnated to Snlt
Pnymnaters.
FORT RILEY, Kan., Oct 25. -For a short
time today there was a possibility that the
regiments of the national guard, which
commences to break camp tomorrow,
would not receive their pay before de
parture. The paymasters were here with
the money, but they demanded that the
regular army officers detailed to muster
the militia regiments should notify them
as to the time the national guardsmen
left home, ths length of time on the road
going and coming, and the duration of
camp duty. The mustering officers refused
In every Instance to comply with the ma
jority of these requests, on the ground
of lack of personal knowledge. For a short
time there was a deadlock, but Adjutant
General Mayes stepped Into the office, cer
tified to the facts In each case, supplied
the certificates to the mustering officers,
who turned them In with their muster
rolls, and the national guardsmen were
assured of their pay before leaving for
home.
The maneuvers for tomorrow will com
prise the attack and defense of an en
trenched position. Brigadier General C. C.
Carr will have command of the attacking
force and Colonel Steever of the defense.
The Intrenchments for the problem have
been constructed by Major Leach of the
engineers who was so successful last year
In conducting the defense In a similar
problem. The only national guard regiment
to take part In this action tomorrow will
be the Fifty-fifth Iowa. All the others
will be occupied In breaking camp and
starting for home.
SENATOR DIETRICH IS BACK
Return from AInskn and Relieves
Mnny Friends of Further
Anxiety.
Senator Charles H. Dietrich spent a few
hour In Omaha, having Just returned from
his Alaskan tour.
"I Just came In," said the senator, "to
answer the advertisement In The Bee In
quiring for my whereabouts. I returned by
way of Kansas City and my daughter went
through to Aurora, III., to visit friends. I
go back to Lincoln and Hasting today and
will remain in Nebraska until It becomes
necessary for me to go to Washington for
the extra session.
"I could tell you a whole lot about Alaska,
but I have not tho time. Alaska Is a great
country, but It's agricultural possibilities
have been greatly exaggerated.. I saw Pat
Mullen up in Juneau and also N. V. Harlan.
Both of them are doing very well. Mullen's
son ha a position In the store of a big
mining company there.
"My northern destination was Point Bar
row, but we had to stop about sixty miles
this side, because of sgi icepack which pre
vented the boat from going further.
"Of course I am glad to get back. I can't
speak of the political situation, as I will
have to familiarise myself with what has
been done since I left five months ago. I
am at the service of the party managers to
do what I ran for the success ot the repub
lican ticket." '
BETTER SERVICE TO DUNDEE
Improvements Saggest that Faranm
Cart Mny Boon Mnke Through
Runs.
The street car company ha a force of
men at work straightening, relevellng and
relaying the track of the Dundee line from
Fortieth and Farnatn to Forty-eighth and
Dodge streets. New rails of a more modern
and heavier type are being put In, and, al
though the company will not divulge any
information, it looks as though the time
Is not long distant when the Farnam street
cars will make the trip through to Dundee.
A cross-over switch also has been put In
at Fortieth and Farnam streets, and this
will avoid delay In the running time of the
cars, which has heretofore been' a hin
drance when any work was done In that
locality.
Dundee residents have been anxiously
awaiting the extension of the Farnam Una
for the last year, and promises have been
made from time to time that the service
was to be extended in the near future.
This looks a though their hopes will be
realised. Employe of the company say
that If the car run through there will
likely be several new ones put on, which
will afford residents along the Farnam Una
quicker and better service.
