Washington, Aug. 1. It it be true, as reported from Oyster bay, that the president intends to call an extra ses sion of congress early in November, it is not probable any attempt will be made to force the prompt consideration of a railroad rate bill. That would be out of the question ; at least it would be impossible to secure final action on such a bill within a month. ' - The probabilites are, and observing officials here believe, that the president intends, at the early session, to have congress take up and settle once for all the question of whether the Panama canal shall be built, as originally planned, with locks, or shall be a sea' tevei canal, as aavocatea by so many prominent engineers. This is a ques tion that congress must decide, and the sooner it is out of the way the better the men in charge of the canal can operate. The president has not taken the pub lic into his confidence; he has not an nounced what his object may be in calling an extra session, but it is diffi cult to figure out how anything could be gained on a railway rate bill at a session convening only three weeks in advance of the regular session. It takes that long for the house to orgainze, elect a speaker, and for the speaker to appuwi. uuwinitiees, ana me senate con sumes almost as much time in its or ganization. STANDS BY ALLY.

Nor has the Brit ish government seen its way clear to render assistance to Washi nffton in the enans wnicn tnis government is mak ing to oDtain an armistice. Advices reaching here show that London is opposed to an armistice until japan nas been satished that Russia's plenipotentiaries m. r x w w more than discuss means of ending the war. li ttussia is ready to conclude peace and has so emnoveml potentiaries, Great Britain, it is said. migni iavor an armistice, but even in this event she would, it is said nnt ho wining to offer Japan advice on the subject.
