All he will ex­ pect of the extra session of congress in the way of legislation is that it shall speedily pass a new tariff bill. He wants it to put the machinery in mo­ tion for currency legislation at a later date, however, by making provision for a joint commission of senators and representatives and report at the regu­ lar session of congress. A man recently in Canton said h» talkml at length with McKinley about the extra sa-ssion, and he found the president-elect hail determined to oon- fine his message at the opening of that session practically to the tariff and cur­ rency. He will urge the speedy pas­ sage of a tariff bill for the double pro­ tecting purpose of American interest» and filling the treasury. The informant said he understood McKinley would make no specific rec­ ommendations as to the policy whioh ought to be pursued in reforming the monetary system of the country, but would refer in general terms to the ne­ cessity of doing something, and advise congress to create a joint commission to sit during tlie recess and prepare a comprehensive scheme to b » reported next December.

Washington, Feb. 15.—The execu­ tive session of tlie senate opened today with u notice by Senator Blackburn tiiat lie probably would move a post­ ponement of further consideration of the Anglo-American treaty until the next session. He said in explanation that he thought there should be an eurly understanding on this point in view of the fact that the present ses­ sion is rapidly drawing to a close, but did not wisli to take tho responsibility for such a motion until there oould be a somewhat general expression as to its advisability. Hoar followed in a speech favoring the treaty. Stewart opposed it on gen­ eral grounds, especially that the United States should not treat with Great Britain. * In t h « H ou*«. Washington, Feb. 15.—The house today resumed consideration of the poatofflee appropriation bill immediate­ ly after the reading of tlie journal. It was arranged tiiat tlie general debate should close in one hour. Bromwell, Republican, of Ohio, re- sumeil liis argument against the appro­ priation of $196,000 for specinl mail facilities from Boston to New Orleans. Replying to Swanson’ s remarks yester­ day, he declared it was absnrd to say that the Southern railroad carried more mail than any other trunk line in the country. There were, he said, twenty-five trunk lines, which carried more mail than the Southern. After further debates, in which the old arguments on tho Southern fast mail item were restated, tho bill was taken up for amendment, and amend­ ments were uilopted reducing tho ap­ propriation for free delivery in the new offices from $140,000 to $90,000, while the appropriation for experi­ mental rural free delivery was increased from $50,000 to $100,000. T a r n I l a y I n t o O o ld an d S ilv e r . Rt. Louis, Feb. 15.— Benjamin Bra- zclle, a scientist and inventor, well known Htnong men of his class, claims to have discovered the key to electric­ ity and the transmutation of clay into gold, silver and iron, ami to have per­ fected his discovery to an extent that will revolutionize tlie science of chem­ istry. His demonstrations have been so satisfactory as to enlist the incorpora­ tion of a company by a number of cap­ italists to put them into practical effect. The company has already started its plant at Fairlawn, in Ht. Louis county. It will soon be com­ pleted ami ready, its projectors nssert, to turn out aluminum, gold, silver, iron and many other metals not known to science, all manufactured from com­ mon clay. By actual test, it is stated, Mr. Bra- zelle changed silver to gold and gold into silver. Tlie transmutation, he says, is an insignificant part of the dis­ coveries he lias made— a mere nothing in comparison with tlie changing of slay into gold, silver, iron, calcium, aluminnm, glacium and fifteen other metals not known to science and whose qualities have not yet been determined by the discoverer.
