It is said to be definitely settled that there is to be an extra session of congress, to be called about March 15. President Cleveland has evidently concluded not to do the prophesied "blaze of glory" act. He will retire from office not like a sfey-rocket; but rather like the stick of one. McKinley's popular majorities in New York and Pennsylvania foot up over 550,000. Mr.

Bryan wasn't so big a fool as he seemed when talking about being in "the enemy's country." The "cranks' own magazine." otherwise known as "The Arena," has come into financial straits as a result of its support of the free coinage of silver, and B. 0. Flower, the boss crank, has had to resign editorial control. A most palatable menu was that spread before his honor this morning His docket presented for trial a butter thief, a bread thief, and a chicken thief. Bread and butter and chicken, in combination, constitute an excellent bill of fare.

A full synopsis of President Cleveland's message will be found in today's issue. The president is not at all in sympathy with the popular mind regarding our attitude toward Spain He opposes the recognition of belligerent rights, says Spain will not sell and concludes that we have territory enough, anyhow. The very poor children of this city have come to look upon the Santa Claus fund, established by the NEWS many years ago, as the sure foundation upon which to rest their hopes of Christmas gifts. It has never failed them yet; but it depends entirely upon the generosity of our people as what shall be the outcome for this year. What a newspaper man Mrs.

Kefl- dal. the British actress, would be. An editor is Glasgow recently criticized that lady for neglect of a brother, and here is her reply: "I never knew your paper existed until 1 saw it one day on 017 kitchen table, when I told my the groom, who sent joy, who did it." for the stable The action of Hon. J. A.

Mount, governor-elect of Indiana, in forbidding an ostentatious display of fuss and feathers on the occasion of bis forthcoming inauguration, will meet the hearty endorsement of thinking people everywhere. In electing ilr. Mount to be governor, the people of have chosen a man who is a genuine a pompous self-declared man of the people; but one who modestly practices what he Breaches, a man who does not believe it right to spend thousand of dollars upon an elaborate social function that does nobody any good, while people are to be found suffering for the necessaries of life. Governor Mount is all right. It's colder weather than this when our old friend, E.

J. Pennington, doesn't bob up with a new machine that is going to revolutionize something. Everybody knows Mr. Pennington's career in Fort Wayne, and most of our people have heard of his great Mt, Camel flying ship. The inventor is now in he has constructed a moveable fort consisting of an armored motor of his own design, and placed Tommy AUins, an Englishman, therein.

The machine carries a rapidly firing gun. It can be made to execute every known military movement save that of forming a hollow square. If Mr. Pennington would only get into oae of his machines aad go to war in it, there might be hopes of his ultimate capture and extinction; but, failing to take this course, we shall probably soon hear of him as having perfected a machine for carrying passengers tirough the earth, thug doing awa with the present long journey of eighty days around the outer crust. LILLIAN RUSSELL.

myriad admirers of Miss Russell and to the amusement lovers generally, comes, too, with an entirely new production aad with the largest and most organization she has ever been identified with," Miss Russell's new role is said to fit her admirably. The opera, or, as her managers prefer to term it, lyric novelty, is called, out of compliment to the star, "An American Beaty." It is in the three acts, but it is no more like the orthodox comic opera than a melo-drama is like a farce-comedy, it is, in situations, music and plot, fr away from the conventional. Hugh Morton, the co-author of several great casino successes, wrote the bo 7k. Gustave Kerker, the most tuneful And prolific of up-to-date composers, i ivented the music. In their co-labor- itions these gentlemen have turned out something that affords Miss Russell the greatest opportunity for the exhibition of the most magnificent attire that Worth and Felix, of Paris, eve 1 supplied, and for the display of her fa and her abilities as a ruuipiog comedienne.

She declares that in her entire career she never so pleased as she is with her newroJf, The staga settings are marvels of beauty. The dresses of the chorus, some ninety in number, are picturesque in the extreme. The situations are provocations of laughter from the beginning to the finish, and the orchestra is augmented by a number of musicians from the Casino under the baton of Mr. Paul Steindorff. GRAND CONCERT.

The great Gllmore's band, directed by Victor Herbert, who was given the soubriquet "The Irish Wagner" by the New York press, is soon to come and appear in grand concert at the Tern pie Thursday next, and we may make up our minds to hear something extraordinary. All accounts agree that the new Gilmore's is a wonderful organization. Uo such demonstrations were ever seen in St. Louis and Pittsburg as were lately made at the Gilmore daily concerts during the expositions in both cities. And the same was true when the band played from May to September at Washington park, on-the-Delaware, below Philadelphia.

It is earnestly declared that no such organization ever before existed in this country, not even the old Gilmore band at its last. Victor Herbert will give us a brilliant program, with soloists, and a famous lady singer, Miss Marie Donavin. NOTES. Field's minstrels appear at the Temple-to-morrow night.

Gross Pellens. ITS LEGITIMACY ESTABLISHED. When the Plar Should Be Invoked--Not "Guerrilla Tactics," as Long Suit Players Claim--An Unintentional Concession of the Enemy--Some Perhaps the safest; opening at whist is the trump attack with short or weak trumps and all round strength or protection iu the plaiu suits. To this form of strategy tho practitioner of tho new whist frequently must resort when he has uo long plum suit that ho cares to open, no short plain suic that he can start without risk of sacrificing a valuable card in it Such hands are by oo means rare. Several of them are pretty sure to up id every game or match.

Here is one that presented itself in a recent tournament of the Now Kugland Whist association: Hearts (trump), 8, 6, clubs, diamonds, 7, apadoa, 10, 3. This was the original leader's hand. The was turned. Tho member of the Howell Whist club who opened tho hand did eo with tha 8, and and bis partner won seven triobs. His opponent, a routine old school player, led the and then the and this method of play yielded only four tricks, a loss of three as compared with the gambit toimp opening.

We can very briefly consider the hand In detail and see by what train of reasoning tho trump leader reached his decision. The diamond suit is the strongest element of tho hand, but the two tricks in it will probably be good at any time. The proLa- bility of winning more than two tricks in the suit ia very small, bat it may be improved by delay, and certainly will be by tie exhaustion of trumps, if this can be accomplished. But would an attempt to exhaust trumps be snfe, considering the barely protected condition of the other plain suits? The skillful player answers, "Yes." Xot only do both the club and the spade suits contain "stoppers," which should prevent the adversaries from making a "run" in either, but it is a fact that tho gambit trump opening will rtnder moro probable the winning of tricks with the nnd the In short, becausa every piain suit is self protected the trump opening is quite unlikely to lose any thing; because none of tho plain suits can be established, the trump lead is a favorable resource in Uiu of a plain suit opening, because there is coueiderabls strength in every plain suit, the eihaus- tion of trumps is a desideratum. The play of tho deal was as first the trump and thin tha diamond opening: leads to the first trick.

Ths winning card in each trick is underlined, and tha card underneath is led next.) Kortj. East. South. Wwt.

Trick is worthy of remark that the success of north's venture does not depend on his partner's strength in trumps, since in this respect south is even weaker than north. Trick correct--his best supporting card from a weak hand. From hie fall of cards to this trick Boutb marks tho A with north and the with east. Trick lead of a small card from jack and two others is irregular and apparently without geod wason; but It loses nothing. Trick acts on the information he obtained from trick 3, Trick persistence in the diamond lead costs a trick, since, if he leads spades, east makes the queon and ace, establishes the suit on tho third round, and gets Jn with the last trump to make tno last epade--winning four of the last sii tricks.

The diamond lead ought to yield threo tricks, but eaat losoa one by refusing the force. If he ruffa this trick and leads 2, he must make and A. Still, the situation is difficult for him, as he fears tbo clubs, which are all against him. Tho play after the diamond opening was as follows: North. East.

South. West. Trick 1 DK D10 2 4 Trick 2 5T DQ 8 5 Trick3 2 3 4 Tnck4 3 4 CA 0 8 TrickS 0 5 4 Trick 3 3 Trick? 2 TnckS S10 SJg 8 IT?

Tricks 6 to that east and west, though both strong in trumps, play for the cross ruff.

It is by preventing one of the series of ruff 3 that the original north opening with a trump directly snves trick. The other two variation on the deal is indirectly doe to the same cause, In keeping the adversary in the dark as to the lay of the plain salts. Trick switches from the rufflng game trump attack just in and the rest of the play is easy. One of the lending whist writers of the country, Air. Milton C.

Work, who is also a member of the champion Hamilton club team, recently said that from tne hand spades (trump), hearts, K. 7, 3, clubs. diamonds, 5, 3, be wonld lead the Q. Mr. Work not profess to be sjiter," but the lead ho recommends is doflnitley a common eonso opening.

Tho short trumps comes in also after the original opening. In a recent match the original second hand (east) held hearts (trump) 9, clubs, 10, 8, diamonds, spades, North opened with the 4. East played tha nnd held the trick. Then he led the 9. It was the best continuation theoretically and actually as tha cards ID another match tho fourth hand (west) held hearts (trump), clubs, diamonds, 8, spades 10, 6.

North opened with the east played 7, south 4, west 10. Now, west returned the 3 6, forcing Mi partner, who had only the 7 originally. East an4 west got tip a cross ruff, but they lost two tricks on the deal. West's proper continuation after winning with tho 10 was gaicf Why, if my portnw it itwnf In we will probably mikt tbi club suit entire, which otherwlw would tuffod by tho adversary. Thli wai jtut what did happtn as a molt of opaaing the clubs In the actual play.

It seems to that the trump opening is quito "legitimate." It eeuuia to me further that nobody has a right to call it "guerrilla tactics" as a of reproach. The object of the whist player is to win trlcka, and to gay that a play that wins 5 trioks is rixht aud a play that wias 18 is wrong is something akia to nonsense. According to the code of the whist player--that is, the player who plays every haud for what he thinks it is worth, regardless of cut and driod rules--the 3 is tho legitimate aud sound opening from the gh'eu hand.

What can 1 lose by trying to get trumps out? Having three or more cards in every plain suit, I furel; cannot get in a ruff with my 8 2.

If partner has trump strength, on tho trump tricks I can "trash" my worthless hearts The adversaries cannot possibly beat me in club suit, can hold them In th diamonds for one round at least, and as have four hearts they ore unlikely to make a long run in this suit. As for partner ho may ruff something, bnt surely not my clubs, which I would load if 1 did not open the tramp. Bis ruff is a remote contingency. In short, my risk of loss by tbe tramp lead appears to be slight On ji Twenty-ona days are repaired for a etter posted in New York to be delivered in Babia. He Now Longs For a Chance at Championship Honors.

TEUS TTHY HE SHOUID HAVE IT. WHEN OTHERS PAIL, CONSULT DR. WENQER, 4. Batch of Opinions on Fitz, Jim and'" Tom--He That Corbett Does Not Care to Fight--Thinks the Sailor the Host Sincere. Now that I hare defeated gallant JOG Ihoynskl, I ttolak I am right in line again lor the championship, all fair minded sportsmen say so at least, and I am going to do my tact to win that proud title, no matter whom I hare to lace to gain it will gladly Jim Corbett, Bob Fitzsimmons or Tom Sharkey for the honor, and of the purso wager them as much money is any of them caro to put up en my chancas.

I do not mean to vainglorious or toaitful, but ray immediate friends and tome of tha kaanest critics on the prosa that I juadt iuch rapid of late in fistic science and ring general- imp that I stand an equal sliaoca with any man an earth. Confidence of that kind is contagious, and naturally I am Anxious to discover whether I deserve the good opinion of lay and of the press. I am entitled to a contest with any of these men for threo reasons: First, because I hare fought as many battles as any of them and defeated just as good men as thsy did; second, because I have ever been willing to fight, and third and best reaion ef all, because I hate backing for any amount for a contest with any of them, which is the surest proof'of a man's of purpose and of confidence in himeoH. I will not go through the long list of men I have had the good fortune to conquer, but four pugilists whom I have defeated within the past two years--George Godfrey, O'Donnell, Frank P. Slavin nnd Joe Cboynskl--can surely compare any quartet Corbett, Fitz or Sharkoy hare whipped.

Be It understood that I always except John L. Sullivan from all calculations or comparisons of this sort, because, as everybody knows, the grand old lion of pugilism was not himself when he met Corbett, and was not, for that matter, for four or flve years before that time. But to get back to my original proposition--I want to box nny or all of these men. I will take on Fitz, if he whips Sharkey In their contest before tha National Athletic olub of Snn Francisco Deo. 9, or I will meet tho bold eailor should he defeat lanky Bob within a week, or month, or throo months after that battle.

want no part of any year's contract ta Qght. I don't think the public does either. It has had enough of theatrical advertising schemes. I may be at the ringside to challenge the winner and gefc on a match before Corbett, and thus put myself in a poFslble position to fight him if he means io fight again. He says himself that he will enter into only one more contest, and ihat, ho hopes, will be with FJtz.

I don't like to doubt anybody, bnt I am a bit afraid that Jim won't box Fitz or anybody else unless he can get into the finest possible condition, and some lynx eyed critics say be can't do that. Of course I sincerely hope he can and that I will be the Incky chap to meet him. But I do not want to go up against him or any othei man who is not at his fittest and best. I want to gain no hollow victory. I to win an honest, manly struggle, such as I had with Joe Choynskl in New York.

Of the trio--Corbett, Fltzsimmons and Sharkey--I the sailor lad to be the most sincere in his pugilistic professions, I really think he is willing to fight any. body, and if he wins from Fitzsimmons, hope to catch on to a match quickly with him. This battle is a sort of puzzle to a lot of us in tho east Fitz thinks he ha; a walkover, nnd Corbett in a recent interview indorses the Cornlshman'e opinion of tha outcome. Out on the Pacific slope, however, Major McLaughlin and a number of well informed sportsmen think just the reverse and believe that in Sharkey they have a world heater. Of course it will take very hard blow to put Sharkey to sleep, owing to the strong bony conformation of his face wherein the nerve center I spoke of is well protected.

The cleverest left hand man who depends on '-jabbing" largely for success would make little headway with Sharkey. The sailor is too strong and hard to mind tapping of that kind, and would in time rush the jabber down. It is only knookoul blowa that can stop him, I am ntte! without prejudice in the matter and give no biased opinion when I say that I believe that Fitz can hit Sharkey hare enough to put him out if he but gets the opening. I feel sure that Sharkey will give me a battle If ho Tins. I hope Fitz will if lit wins, but I must confess I feel a bit leary of him.

He has dodged all advances friends looking to another contest ant if he is successful with Sharkoy he may hng his victory and have another talking match with Corbett. I don't wish to de tract from Fitz's performances, but he knows that nine out of experience pugilistic critics believe that he won by fluke from me upon the occasion of out two meetings when he was almost on himself upon each occasion, and he owes it to himself to prove to the publio beyonc all cavil that he can whip me, Joe Coburn, champion of America whipped Miko MoCool twice and wa preparing for third battle when the an thorltloa interfered. So with Torn Crlbb Jem Maco, Dan Donnelly and all theo' English and Irish champions. They me an opponent twice, thrico or a dozen tima if he had the money to mako a match They wont on the principle that it was better to battle man you had whippet and thought you could whip again thus pick up easy money than go agalns an unknown quantity. As far as I am concerned, Fitz can find all the Bide bet wants, and if ho can again defeat ho can win a lot of money, gold or silver just as be likes.

Boxing contests are now permitted by law before regularly organized clubs in Now York state, Fitz and or Sharke; nnd or Corbett and need cot run el Mexico or Texas to box. We can so in civilized manner right here in the east. The legislature last winter passed law to thats effect, right In New York city an upright public official, a courageous, manly man, who has wt th seal of his approval upon decent, legitl mato contest 1 where Inequality of men am brutality are barred.
