C The extra ses sion of Congress called by President Wilson to assemble April 7, will begin with nothing but the tariff revision bills before it This fact was made clear in a statement by Representa tive Underwood, chairman of the house committee on ways and means. Until the legislation is well under way the bouse, no general committees will be made and no other legislative sub jects will be taken up. ine president specified no subject for the extra session in his proclama tion, Dut It Is fully understood that his message to congress at Its opening will dwell upon the need of tariff re vision. If the currency. Philippine Independ euce. Aiasaan affairs, woman suffrage or other pressing questions Anally are iorcea upon the attention of congress It will be only after the Democratic leaders of the two houses and the president are convinced that the suc cess or tariff revision is assured. The senate committees are organized for work and will take up the prelim inary stages or much general leelsla tion early in April. A general agree ment exists, however, to keen eenersl subjects out of active discussion, while larin legislation is under way. ine tariff legislation, now belne completed by the ways and means com mittee, win be submitted to the Demo crane caucus before the session opens me ivmocrats or the wavs and means committee adjourned aftpr di. cussing a revision of the Intricacies of customs enforcement In the admin istrative sections of the tariff and informally discussing the Income tax pian in a general way without attempt ing to reach a decision as to that new revenue raising scheme designed to aaa pernaps 1100,000,000 to the treas ury iunas. While the Income tax details hinge upon the final estimate of the probable revenue from the H schedules, the dis position of the committee majority is to inaugurate a system with probably a l per cent tax on a minimum of i.).0OO annual income with the Idea that the tax may be susceptible to lowering of the income minimum or raising of the tax percentage, or both, if conditions necessitate after the plan is noaiea. The big fight pending now is the always controversial schedule "K." the big wool schedule. In which a final vote is likely within the next three or four aays. i ne advocates of free raw wool in tne committee have counted nnon winning in the end regardless of what the probable attitude of the senate might be. The majority already has settled upon free raw cotton and upon sharp reductions in the cheaper grades oi lexuie manuiactures. The revision plan as settled upon contemplates substantially the princi pal I'luwsiuns oi me democratic re vision bills that were put through both houses in the last congress.

C President Wil son will present for the consideration of the cabinet a statement concerning China in which is Intended to be made public from the White House later. White House and state department of ficials observed the strictest secrecv about the statement, and none would venture in intimation as to Its nroh. able contents. It Is known that the nresident anil Secretary of State Bryan have had sev- eral conferences on the subject of Lnina, and a particularly long talk held in the executive offices Just before the secretary's departure for the west was said to have been devoted largely to Chinese questions. There are two phases of the Chi nese situation in which the United States is peculiarly interested recog nition of the republican government now nearly two years old, and the proposed six-power loan. The Chinese republic contlnuallj has sought recognition, but the oolicv of President Taft and his secretary of state, Mr. Knox, was to withhold rec ognition until the new government had demonstrated to the world its ability to maintain itself as a real re public, administering a popular gov ernment.

The "outrage on suffragists in Wash ington" figured prominently in the arguments of the huffrage supporters. "Not one man who struck a woman in that parade, not one man who spoke indecently to the women would vote for woman suffrage," was one of Dr. Shaw's remarks. She declared that all the suffragists ask Is the right to share in the vote of the country. While Mrs. A. J. George was speak ing' against the resolution there was laughter from the suffragists when she declared that woman's place Is in the home. Turning to the committee she said: "Sisters, nearly 80 times when I1 have used the words 'home' and 'wom an' in meetings like this the suffra gists have laughed." She declared that she formerly had believed in suffrage but had changed her views when she saw how "suf fragists feel who speak of the home." bring home Ir.

The tragedy caused Intense excitement. Schinas was seized immediately and overpowered. The wounded King was lifted Into a carriage, which was hurried to the hospital. He was still breathing when placed In the carriage, but died before reaching the hospital. Prince Nicholas, the King's third son, and other officers hurried to the hospital. On his arrival Prince Nicho las summoned the officers and, speak ing In a voice choked with sobs, said: "It is my deep grief to have to an nounce to you the death of your be loved King and to invite you to swear fidelity to your new sovereign, King Constantine." Crown Prince Constantine, who sue. ceeds King George, at present is at Janina. The assassin of the King, on being arrested, refused to explain his motive for the crime. He declared that his name was Aleka Shlnas and, in reply to an officer, who asked him whether he had no pity for his country, an nounced that he was against govern ment. Shinas maintained a perfectly Impas sive demeanor. Precautions were taken at once throughout the city and perfect order is being maintained. The King fell info the arms of his aide when shot. Two soldiers ran upon hearing the firing, and helped to support him. He was placed In a car riage and efforts were made to stop the bleeding, but he breathed bis last on the way to the hospital nearby.

In spite of the eloquent ar guments of the French Premier, Aris tide Iiriand, embodied in what Is pro nounced the finest speech of his ca reer, the senate overthrew the govern ment on the question of proportional representation. After the senate, by a vote of 161 to 128, had adopted the amendment In-j troduced by Senator Paul L. Feytral, a lupunncan -Liberal, which proposed that the majority should receive the whole of the representation, the min isters immediately withdrew and held a brief consultation. They then pro ceeded to the Elysee palace and hand ed their resignations to President Poltirare. Tho President accepted the resignations, but requested the minis, ters to continue to transact business until their successors had been found.

It was a revival of an old story, In tended facetiously, which was repeat edly denied during the Taft adminis tration, that $34.72 awaited every In dividual In the country. Many of the applicants asked tiiat the amount be forwarded by parcel post In pennies. "The story, of course.
