curing a jury in the William Barry mur
der case was taken up. The second
venire of 55 talismen were on hand, and
a score or more of the number were ex

hardly expected that a jury will be se

THE OPENING OF CONGRESS
Bwythtag I* Rtady lor the Extra Seiiloti of
Congress
Monday.
Washingtoaf -||ifri^^.The
Ratification of Ine Cuban reciprocity
treaty is all that is included in the pres
ent programme of the extraordinary
'.Session of congress, which will open
Monday. It was originally desired by
the administration to take up financial
legislation at the special session, but
the idea has now been abandoned and
unless all signs fail comparatively little
attempt will be made to accomplish
anything of importance other than the
ratification of the Cuban treaty.
The reciprocity treaty has been rati
fied by the Cuban congress, and only
lacks necessary legislation by the
United States congress to become ef
fective. The initiative for this rests
with the house of representatives. The
fact that several weeks are required for
the organization of that body has ex
cited apprehension in some quarters
that there will be considerable delay in
getting the reciprocity joint resolution
in shape, and that action may be pre
vented at the called session. In circles
better informed, however, there exists
no apprehension 011 this account, for
while the speaker is not likely to have
all the committees ready for announce
ment before December, he undoubtedly
will announce the committee 011 ways
and means and the committee on ac
counts and mileage some time during
the coming week.
While there is likely to be a vigor
ous dentand from the democrats for lib
eral debate, it is expected a limit will
be fixed when the resolution is report
ed, and that a time also will be fixed
for a final vote. With regard to the
question directly involved, it is not be
lieved there will be any great differ
ences in the house, but the democrats
may attempt to make capital for the
next presioential election by debating
the tariff and offering amendments that
will not be entertained by the presiding
officer. However, there is reason for
the belief that the house will be able to
send the resolution to the senate before
Nov. 20. The latter body, having rati
fied the reciprocity treaty by an almost
unanimous vote, may be expected to
take up and dispose of the matter with
out much debate.
v
Xa,ks. with leading republican sena
tors point to a general understanding
that no financial legislation will be at
tempted at the extra session. During
the time the house is considering the
reciprocity matter the senate will have
plenty of business to occupy its atten
tion. The executive business alone is
pf vast volume, for the appointments
made during the recess number thou
sands. These will have to be reported
to the senate* for its advice and con
sent, and their consideration will keep
the senators busy the first ten days of
the session. The financial bill will be
considered by members of the financial
committee, and cloak room conferences
may be expected among leading sena
tors on both sides, but $0. bill will be
formulated until after the Christmas
holidays.
Monday will b€f devoted to the read
ing of the president's message. The
general expectation is.that the message
will be brief and wiil. deal only with
Cuban reciprocity and possibly with
financial legislation. In his message it
is expected that the president will di
rect the attention of congress to the
moral obligations affecting Cuba and
point out the duty: of, the house to in
dorse the action of the senate ih pass
inga Cuban reciprocity treaty.
If tlje subject of financial legislation
js touched upon it is believed that defi
nite recotftfttehdatitMls he made fey
tlje president alonsjlie lines of Ihe
speech delivered in CJijcago some time
Secretary Shaw. The differ-
eneea* of opinion entertafned by the ad
ittfatlation and by lea4ing republican

fHOMAS LAWSON AND THE C0PPEE MUTCHO HUBBLE.
Thomas W. Lawscn, the Boston banker who once paid ever so many tboti*
sands of dollars for a pink and later won notoriety by his quarrel with the New
York Yacht club over his boat, the Independence, built to defend the America's
cup and which he afterward caused to be broken up, is again to the fore with
an offer to pay F. Augustus Heinze $5,000,000 for the tatter's copper holdings
near Butte. Heinze ridicules Lawson and declares that he has repeatedly re
fused $14,000,000 foi^ his mining interests. Heinze offers to arbitrate so that
the miners may be put to work promptly. Lawson is one of the large stock
holders of the Amalgamated Copper company, whose working plants have been
closed as the result of an injunction obtained by Heinze restraining the sub
sidiary companies from paying dividends to the holding corporation, the Amal
gamated. An effort is being made to put on the statute books a law which will
take future litigation over what are known as the Butte mines out of the hands
df the local judiciary, which is alleged to be favorable to the Heine* Interests.
MILLER AGAIN A FREE MAN.
Judge Ptsk of tiraad Porks Oranted the Writ

Grand Forks, N. D«. Nov. 7.—Judge
Fisk filed a decision in the district
court yesterday granting the petition of
E. H. Miller for a writ of habeas corpus.
Application for the writ was made a
week ago and was argued before Judge
Fisk, G. A. Bangs appearing for Miller
and State's Attorney Wineman oppos
ing The granting of the writ.
Miller was arrested during the month
of July, the day after his marriage, on
a warrant charging, him with using
slanderous language to and about Miss
Ani}a Dealing, who also claimed that
Miller had broken a promise of mar
riage made to her bak in the old home
in Missouri.
The habeas corpus writ was asked
for 011 the grounds that the alleged
slanderous language was privileged, in
asmuch as if had been spoken to an
other party ahd in private, and not to
the. complainant.
Miller gave a bond at the time of his

there is doubt of the validity of capital
punishment law on account of apparent

HANSBR0UGH MET PRESIDENT
[The Repeal of the Present Land Law Was Ots#
cussed by Then. 1
Washington, Nov. 7.—Senator Hans
brough called at the White House and
had a talk with the president relative
to public land frauds and the pro
posed repeal of te desert land and timber
and stone acts. The president listened
to arguments from representatives of
the National Irrigation Association in
favor of such repeal. Charles Beach
Boothe, of Los Angeles, called for this
purpose two days ago.
Senator Hansbrough found th'e presi*
dent disposed to favor the repeal of the
acts. The senator called his attention
to the fact that this will shut off the
revenue now derived from the sale ot
public lands and thus bring to a close
the irrigation work. The $16,000,000
now on hand he regards sufficient only
for a good beginning of the works pro
jected. Senator Hansbrough contends
that the repeal movement is instigated
chiefly by land grant railroads which
are anxious to secure scrip to locate on
other forest and mineral lands. 'X
MAXWELL IS SORE.
(Washington,
D. C., Nov. 7.—George
H. Maxwell, executive chairman of tifie
National Irrigation Association, is in
Washington. He is bitter in his denun
ciation of Senator Hansbrough, of North
Dakota, for his atttitude on the public
land question. Mr. Miaxwell was asked
what effect the recent land frauds
would have on the proposed repeal of
the timber and stone' and desert land
acts and the communtation clause of the
homestead act. He replied that the ev
ploitation of these frauds was amusing
from the standpoint of the western man,
for it had been a notorious fact that
such frauds had been going on.
"The fault," he said, "is not in the
administration of the laws. The laws
are fundamnetally wrong. The desert
land act violated the basic principle of
the national irrigation act, which is that
no one shall have an acre of the public
land who will not found a home on it
and live there."
The talk about amending the desert
land act, he declared, was an attempt
to deceive the people.
