WftSHINGTONJ.ETTER. Extra Session May lie Needed to Gon- Status of The President Insists that Con gress shall Share the Responsibility. Arrangements for the Inaugural Pa rade Captain Hovgaard's Tribute to Chjr Navy Proposed Reclamation of Arid Lands. Washington, Feb. 18, 1901. Presi dent McKinley very frankly tells the ftenators and representatives who call n him that if the Cubans complete and forward their constitution to Washington within the next few weeks, as they are expected to do. he will call an oxtra session of the fifty seventh congress to deal with the mat ter, as he most positively declined to accept the responsibility of deciding it himself. This is regardless of whether the present session fails to dispose of all the important pondinglegislation. Only two weeks of the present congress remains and there" if a lot of work to be done to dispose of the regular ap propriat'on bills, not to mention the oleomargarine bill which is now before the senate; the ship subsidy bill, with regard to which the opposition has openly served notice that it shall not be voted upon; the revenue reduction bill, now deadlocked in conference, owing to the refusal of the house con ferees to accept the senate amend ments; and other measures of more or less importance. The work of the present week will go far towards showing whether an extra session will be made necessary, aside from the Cu ban qpestion. THE INAUGURAL PARADE. Following precedent, it has been de cided that President McKinley will, as he suceeds himself and there will be no out-going president to ride with .him, be accompanied by members of the joint congressional committee, in the inaugural parade. Members of that committee will also ride with Vice President Roosevelt. While many unique features have been announced by the committee in charge, it is doubtful whether any single feature will attract more attention than the battalion of Porto Rican troops which will march in the parade. AMENDMENTS TO PENDING BILLS. Senator Elkins is trying hard to get the committee on commerce to agree to the Morgan amendment to the river and harbor bill, providing for the ac quirement from Costa Rica and Nic aragua of a right of way for the Nic aragua canal. The committee has adopted amendments providing for storage reservoirs in some of the arid sections. The bill will be reported to the senate early this week. Senator Perkins has offered an amendment to the sundry civil appro priation bill, providing for the laying of a cable to Hawaii, and appropriat ing $500,000 therefor. There is a rather persistent and ap parently well-founded rumor around the capitol that, owing to the large to tal of appropriations by the fifty sixth congress, no bills providing for public buildings will be allowed to go through at this session. This will naturally cause much disappointment especially among those interested in public buildings that have been favorably re ported. DUTIES AND BOUNTIES. In ordering that a countervailing duty equal in amount to the export bounties paid by those countries, be collected dn all sugars imported from Russia and Belgium, Secretary Gage was merely carrying out the law "as interpreted by his legal advisers. It is understood that an appeal to the courts will be taken in the case of Russian sugar, on the grounds that Russia does not pay an export bounty. Meanwhile Russia has got back at us by raising the tariJQon all steel and iron products 50 per cent. THE TROOPS IN THE PHILIPPINES. 1 With regard to the statements made by Senators Teller and Pettigrew that there were ten thousand more men in the Philippine hospitals than could be taken care of, Surgeon-Generaf Strenberg said: The report is prepros teronsi -The number of sick has rang ed from seven to eight per cent. Am ple hospital accomodations and plenty of medical officers have been provided for the troops in the Philippines." OUR NAVY COMPLIMENTED. . w :, How our navy stands in Europe may be judged from the fallowing remarks of Captain Hovgaard, of the Royal Danish navy, who has just arrived in Washington: "My government has sent me here to study American ship building and especially ship-engineering. The American navy is recogniz ed on the European continent, as the best without anj' exception, the most modern, and so far as the engineering is concerned, it i looked upon as a marvel of perfection. While in this country I will try to make arrange ments to have our oa lets take courses in engineering and technology here." AN ARID LAND RECLAMATION FUND. On the recommendation of Land Commissioner Herman, Secretary Hitchcock, has made a favorable re port on Senator Uansbrongh's bill, providing that all moneys received from the sale of public lands in the arid and semi-arid regions sha 1 be set aside as an arid land reclamation fund for the construction of reservoirs and other hydraulic works tor the storage and diversion of water. The report is accompanied by a recommendation that the bill be amended so as to pro vide that the lands required for reser voirs and the lands to be irrigated be withdrawn from homestead entry be fore; .their survey instead of after. Secretary Long has gone to Pensa cola, Florida, to inspect the Naval Station at that point. He will return by way of New Orleans, remaining in the latter city to see the Mardi Gras festivities." KILL ARD KARDwAR N. C. WEATHER REPORT. The Times has received the report of the North Carolina section of the cli mate and crop service of the weather bureau, giving the weather statistics of the state for January. The month is described as having been on the whole a mild winter month. The mean temperatures were a few degrees below normal in the southern portion, but elsewhere they were above the normal. No temperature below zero occurred even at the most elevated stations in the Blue Ridge. The pre cipitation was generally, though not in every case, below the average; and the rainfall was less than usual. No covering" of unme I ted snow remained on the ground for aiy length of time at any station during the month. The monthly mean temperature for the state was 40.8 degrees, which is half a degree above the normal. The monthly mean for Hendersonville was 37.4 degrees. The average precipita tion for tbe state during the month was 2.93 inches. In Hendersonville the total was ouly 2.18 inches, which is a very satisfactory showing. The report adds that the wheat spread nicely, looked vigorous and promising at the close of the month. A LENTEN THOUGHT. - Editoes Times: May I, through your paper, say a few words to the people of this pleasant little city? I am not an Episcopalian, but as the season of Lent begins, it brings sad yet hopeful thoughts and wishes to our hearts. It seems as if only the good Spirit should live in tbe homes of those who have such a pleasant abid ing place, surrounded by such lovely mountains and streams. Yet every housekeeper knows that in the spring time no matter how careful she has been, there must come a thorough house cleaning:. Is it not so with our lives? Can we not during this Lenten period, purify our hearts from the smoke that blinds our eyes to the good in others and faults in ourselves? Shall we not sweep down the cob webs of prejudice, cleanse the win dows so that we may see our duties to others, fill our homes with the pure air of love to our neighbors, sweep out of our doors every particle of ill feel ing, unkindness, censure, slander, gossip? This accomplished, put on the finishing touches that only earnest effort aided by humility, patience and love can give. Then, on Easter morn ing, we will be glad to welcome the day, with the joys and hopes that it brings to us all. C. PORTO RICO'S STATUS. It is hardly likely that the decision of the supreme court in the Porto Ri can matter will be handed down be fore the last week of the term and just before the summer adjournment which takes place in May. Heretofore when great questions involving con stitutional rights have come before the court, a long time has been taken to reach a decision. In this case the ar guments on both sides were exhaus tive, and the number of cases cited by counsel was probably a thousand or more. E HOUSE, S. H. HILLIARD, Proprietor. -SUCCESSOR TO M. T. JUSTUS.
