NATIONAL CAPITAL.
The Probability of an Extra Session of
Congress Immediately Following
Cleveland's Inauguration.
The President haa appointed Albert
H. Naah postmaster at Salt Lake City,
Utah, vice Irving A. Benton, who re
signed to accept the appointment of
United States Marshal.
There are a number of vacancies in the
higher offices of the executive depart
ments of the government, and the prob
lem of filling them has been consider
ably complicated by the results of the
recent election. In view of the fact that
a general change will be made by the
new administration in March, the vacan
cies are not altogether desirable prize.
Among them are the First Assistant
Postmaster-Generalship, Commissioner
of the General Land Office, and a num
ber of diplomatic places, including the
Russian, Portugese, Italian and Swiss
Missions. The resignation of Assist
ant Secretary of the Treasury Nettleton
and Mr. urounse, who was the Republi
can candidate for Governor of Nebraska,
will take effect next month. The Presi
dent will also have four vacancies on the
bench to fill between now and March 4.
These are life positions and the most al
luring prizes remaining within the gift
of the administration.
The probability f an extra session of
Congress immedkely following the in
auguration of the President-elect is a
subject of general conversation in Wash
ington. A special session of the Senate
is always called at the beginning of a
new administration, to confirm mem
bers of the Cabinet and diplomatic rep
resentatives of the United States abroad,
but the present election, having turned
on questions of a domestic policy, it is
said to be obvious to experienced politi
cal leaders of all parties that an extra
session of both Houses of Congress is an
almost inevitable result. Secretary of
the Treasury Foster among others ad
mits this. The country, he says, chal
lenged the judgment of the Republicans
on the McKinley bill, and the result
must be accepted as the will of the peo-
ftle that a different policy must be put
nto effect. Ex-Secretary Bayard writes
to a friend here in like effect, adding the
people will expect this to be done with
out unnecessary delay.
Advices from Samoa are to the effect
that the differences between the factions
on the islands, headed bv Mataafa, the
recognized King, and Malietoa, the
claimant to the throne, have reached an
acute phase. To fully protect the inter
ests of the United States it has been de
cided that a veesel be sent there at the
earliest practicable moment. Besides
this reason, based on expendiency, it
appears that under the term ef the trip
artite treaty the United State is under
obligation to keep a naval vessel at
Samoa. There has been no United
States naval vessel there for many
months, the Iroquois being the last to
call. The Alliance is now at Honolulu,
with the Boston, under order to Samoa,
but these orders were countermanded,
probably because of a critical turn in
Hawaiian politics. It is the present in
tention to send in her place the Ranger,
recently of the Behrmg sea fleet and
now at Mare Island, San Francisco. It
will require about a month's time to pre
pare the vessel for the trip, and another
month or six week for the passsge, so
she will not bj able to reach Samoa be
fore next year.
The case of the alleged extensive
frauds in land entries, which were in
vestigated during the administration of
Land Commissioner Sparks, and the dis
covery of which caused a suspension of
survey works over the public land in
California, New Mexico, Wyoming,
Washington, Idaho, Oregon and Arizona,
are at least to be brought to trial in the
court. Proceedings have been ordered
in the courts of San Francisco against J.
D. Hall for perjury in regard to the sur
vey of public land. This case is to be
followed np by the trial of J. R. Glover,
J. A. Benson and G. H. Perrus, expert
surveyors, who, it ia charged, in 1880
formed a syndicate in San Francisco for
the survey of lands and fraudulently un
dertook to control all special deposit
tracts on the Pacific slope. Certain
banks, it is alleged, supplied the money
required for the deposits, the agents of
the syndicate pocketing the award of
contracts at the several offices of the Surveyors-General
and the contracting dep
uty executing a power of attorney to
the banks for all money payable under
uch contracts. The principal location
for operation was in Central and South
ern California, but extended into other
States and Territories. Several million
dollar were secured by these schemes.

The electricians who propose to have
exhibits at the Chicago World' Fair are
Indignant because of the decision of the
Board of Directors to close the fair at 7
o'clock each evening, as it will not per
mit of a good display of their products.
Chicago has more than fulfilled the
promise it made to the oountry with re
gard to the Fair. That city has spent
$10,000,000 in providing a home for it,
and it has spent them not only with
characteristic liberality, but with such
good taste, with such respect, reverence,
even, for art, as to command universal
admiration and commendation. The
promise Chicago made was to erect the
buildings by May 1, 1893. They are al
ready erected, and they surpass in their
grandeur and beauty all possible ex
pectation. The city having done so
much, the country should not do less
proportionately. First of all, it should
cordially and gratefully recognise the
magnitude and the value of the great
work Chicago ha done, and it should
I then resolve, the preparation for the
j Fair being o adequate, the completion
of it should be equally so; that it should
be in deed and fact a complete exposi
tion of all the products and productions
of the world' arts and sciences, and es
pecially of those of thi hemisphere.
