WASHINGTON CHAT-
By our special correspondent
With tbe return of tbe President
to Washington comes the talk of
an extra session of Congress Al-
though the beginning of the regular
session is but sixty days off it is
regarded in official circles that the
President may f el called on to con-
vene the congress in special session
for the purpose of authorizing the
heavy" expenditures involved in
transporting tbe forces of tbe Uni-
ted States in the occupation of Cuba
' Since the return of the President
and Secretary Rootthere have been
several cabinet meetings held and
every phase of the Cuban matter
has been gone over Tbe import-
ant question is tbe probable length
of time the American troops will
be stationed on the Island' If It
should last for many months it
would be necessary to have con-
gress appropriate additional funds
as the money now on hand to the
creditof the War Department is
barely enough to carry on tbe
work as far as it has gone until
ths first week in December aud as
there is no telling just how many
more troops and vessels will be
needed naturally there is some
uneasiness as to the financial end
of the affair It is costing $10000
per day for each of the transports
chartered to carry the troops to
say nothing of the other vast sums
spent making the entire expenses
so far several millions
For the first time in mauy years
tbe United States Supreme Court
which will open its session this
month will have only eight justices
on the bench no successor having
been appointed to Justice Brown
whq retired on account of the age
limit An unusual amount of work
will come before the court and the
session will be of national Interest
as the pending questions affect
nearly every section of the country
Decisions on a score of cases left
over from last term are expected
shortly after the court convenes
afler which hearings will begin on
others on tbe docket
The first new case will be that of
the Isles of Pines in which the
court will be called upon to deter-
mine whether that island is foreign
territory or not the case being
brought to court over the free eniry
into this country of fifty boxes of
cigars Another interesting suit
will be that of W B Williams of
Illinois to- decide the legality of
the purchase of the Panama Canal
zone Williams sought to restrain
the Secretary of the Treasury from
paying the fifty millions of dollars
for the strip The Arkansas river
irrigation case will be heard early
In the session In this Kansas
seeks to prevent the citizens of
Colorado from diverting water from
tbe riyer for irrigation purposes
claiming that tbe supply in Kansas
is thus dangerously depleted
Nebraskans will be interested In
the suits of the C B A Q and the
Union Pacific railroads against the
county treasurers of that state for
levying a special tax in 1904 As
a result of the failure to collect tbe
taxes the public schools of that
state have been unable to proceed
for lack of funds
Other Important casus are those
of Albert T Patrick of New York
who seeks to escape the death
penalty that involving the will of
Potter Palmer in regard to proper
ty In New York that of Represent-
ative Williamson of Oregon under
sentence to serve one year for
alleged connection with the land
frauds Altogether It will be a most
important session bringing to
Washington tbe most prominent
lawyers of tbe country
The State Department is called
upon to solve another' knotty
problem From all accounts it
would appear that the Dutch Hast
Indian Government has taken for
itself one of the islands belonging
to the Philippines and has placed a
Dutch ruler in charge of affairs
Immediately the news reached the
state officials communication waa
opened with the Dutch people te
find out under what authority a
Dutch representative pretends to
govern an American island Palmas
Island as it is called is well with-
in the Philippine limits included iu
the transfer from Spain to the Uni-
ted States and is one of the most
fertile of the entire group - As yet 1
the reply from th Dutch people
has not arrived and officials are be-
coming somewhat restless A few
more days of grace have I tea al-
lowed and then if an answer is not
forthcoming the War Department
will be requested to send a warship
of some kind from the most con-
venient Philippine port Communi-
cation with the island people is to
be had only by trading vessels
which accounts in one way for the
long delay
The finance division of the Post-
office Department is actually get-
ting rich at the expense of people
throughout the country who have
-ent money tuuugu i’ue mail plac-
ed loosely in letters addressed to
persons who cannot be found Fiotu
the undelivered letters turned from
into the Dead Letter Office during
the month of September a total of
8165100 was obtained in amounts
ranging from a single penny to a
twenty dollar bill all euclosed in
envelopes from which not a clue
could be secured as to who sent
the money or where thev Fred
Some of the missives bore fivs aud
six forwarding addresses and bad
traveled thousands of miles ia
search of the owners but all with-
out success Now tbe snug little
sum belongs to Uncle Sam to have
and to bold The money was ia
tbe following denominations:
Treasury notes $1013 gold coin
$2000 silver coin $518 nickel
coin $48 copper coin $2000'
Foreign money $32 1
As President Roosevelt expects
to spend tbe greater part of Nov-
ember in Panama he has been
hard at work upon his message to
Congress during the past summer
and now has it practically complete
With the exception of a subject or
two especially Cuba be will have
little more work to do upon it It
has been decided that tbe start for
Panama will be made on the 8th
of November two days after the 1
President casts his vote at Oyster (
Bay Preparations for the lengthy (
trip are well completed and special
arrangements are now being made
with the telegraph and cable com- '
panies to have their respective !
lines in thorough repair and work- '
ing order so that the Executive
will have perfect communication
with this country while he is away'
How to Cure a Cold !
The question of how to cure a cold-'
without unnecessary loss of time is one-
in which we are all more er legs inter-
ested for tbe quicker a cold is gotta
rid of the less the danger of pneumonia-
and other serious diseases Mr U W
L Hall of Waverly Va has used Chaua--berlaiu’s
Cough Remedy for many years
and says “I firmly believe Ciismlwr—
Iain’s Cough Remedy to be absolutely
the best preparation on tiie market
for colds 1 have recommandod it
my frioDds and they all agree wuh me "
