The Lxtra Session.
Warhingtori, April 22. The procla
mation convening the ejitra session of
congress will bo Issued this week.
Ex-Speaker Randall says the length
of the session will depend very much
on whether the standing committees
are appointed, if the house desires
the other committees, as Well as that
on appropriations, appointed, the ses
sion will be opened for rrgtrlar busi
n ess, and will be necessarily more pro
tracted than If restricted to pftssing
the appropriations which are imme
diately required. Now that the use
of troops in the south is abandoned,
there is no prospect of any unusual
delay over the appropriation for tho
army and the clause prohibiting the
employment of the army to interfere
in civil affairs, wliich caused the lots
of the bill at the last session, will be
eliminated from the new bill. While
the administration desires a short ses
sion. It will ask, in addition to a new
army MP, for deficiencies in the navy
and department of justice, and pos
sibly recommend legislation for dis
posing of the bala.'ico of the Geneva
award.
Ten Years for Kobbery.
Seranton, Pa., April 18. This after
uoou in the Luzerne county Court, at
Wilkesbarre; Judge Harding sen
tenced John Mahori to ten years soli
tary confinement in the eastern peni
tentiary t.r having broken into the
dwelling of an old invalid named
Daniel Gardner at a place called Ran
som and beaten aud robbed him. It
is only a few days ago that Mahon,
while awaiting trial in the county
prison, made one of the most daring
escapes ou record. The judge, in
passing sentence, dwelt iu evident as
tonishment on this fact. Mahou
broke from bis cell f6 tho flue and
crawled throuh that a height of 100
teet, having at one place to pass
through a space nine inches iu diame
ter. He said to-day that while drug
ging himself through the fine he was
frequently overcome by foul air uud
feared he would have to give up the
attempt, but rallied afterward and
came out Miecessfully. He escaped
from the prison walls by lowering
hims'Mf -S-ith a rope tk'a't kty close1 at
lintid, having been provided to hang
Campbell, who has since been re
spited. Mahon was recaptured at
Pittston. Tho scene at his trial to
day was very affecting. The mau
into whose house he broke had to be
carried into court On a chair to give
his testimony. Ho is eighty-two
years of age and has lived all his life
in this neighborhood. Tho prisoner
is only twenty-four years old.
The first litigant in America has at
last gained her case, and the final de
cision of Judge Billings makes Mrs.
Myra Clnrk Uaiues the richest woman
in America. It Is a rich prize, but it
has cost the labor of a life. Foity
three years ago Mrs. Gaines began her
attempt to recover the property left
her by her father, the will made in
lfcl3 having been destroyed after his
death by interested parlies. This s6on
became tlie aim of her life, and she
carried the case through every court
in the State and seven times before
the United States Supremo Court, ex
pending all her own fortune and that
of her two husbands, and when unable
longer to fee a lawyer pleading her
own case in court. This decision is
the last step in the longroad to justice,
but Mrs. Gaines will be even older
than she is now before she is put in
possession of all that the court now
declares to be ev- Philadelphia

The will of the Baron de II. R.,
who died last month iu Paris, says:
"I leave all my fortune, consisting of
800,000 francs, to the bold man who
will, in presence of a notary and
another witness, administer to my
wife fifty blows with a stick. In case
no one should fulfill these conditions,
I devise my property to the state for
charitable uses. In order to avoid
trickery on tlie part of my eventual
heir, I declare the legacy void in case
he should expouso my wife." This
will be contested by the Baroness as
the work of a lunatic, although Jier
husband was of apparently sound
niiud on making it.
Representatives from different work
ingmen's associations, in the western
portion of the state have gone into a
movement to establish a People's
party. It is the avowed intention of
those interested in the formation of a
new political organization to serve
their connection with the old parties
and to put an entire ticket in the field
next fall.

THIS EASTERN DITFICULTT NOT
LIKELY TO MAKE A MARKET FOR
OL'K CONDEMNED ARMS.
Wosblrigton, April 17. At the be
ginning of the present, difficulties be
tween Russia and Turkey, it Was the
general opinion ambng many of our
army officers that the trouble wou:d
create a market for ordnance supplies,
arms, aud ether Implements of war
fare, ahd that the United 6tatea
would be enabled to dispose of the
vast amount of unserviceable goods of.
that character now stored in ourai"
senals arid fof tiflcatlons ; but a careful
examination 6'f the subject by promi
nent officers of the Ordnance Depart
ment, leads to the belief that there
will be no demand upon out country
for thesfe gobds, for the reason that
England, Germnhy and France have
vast ouurit'lies oT condemned arms for
sale. It has ftisb been ascertained that
Turkey is much better supplied with
arms thau was at first supposed, she
having received over three hundred
thousand stand of arms from the
Providence Tool Company, of Provi
dence, R. I., Within the past two years,
under a contract ttfarte with that
company to furnish half a million
Peabody guns' a breech-loading rifle
similar to the Martin-Henry rifle used
in England. These rifles are still be
ing manufactured for and delivered to
the Turkish Government, several offi
cers Of Which have been in this
country for sumo months past, in
specting the arms and superintending
their manufacture. The Turks also
have contracts with varibus firms in
this country for 200,000,000 rounds of
metallic cartridges, and for a large
number of cartridge cases, which are
now being made at Bridgeport and
New Haven, Connecticut, aud other
places. That Government is also well
supplied with breech-loading steel
guns for field service; atid it is not
probable that there will be any great
demand for arms of obsolete patterns
upon th'fs or any other country. Rus.
sia has also received a good supply of
arms from this country, having had
contracts With Smith & Wesson, Colt,
and other manufacturers. These con
tracts were for revolvers and breech
loading rifles, a large number of
which have been delivered. We have
for sale about 400,000 of the new
Springfield muzzle-loading rifle, and
a large number of repaired breech
loaders, besides ordnance asd ord
nance supplies 6f every description,'
left from the late civil war.
Indian Surrender.
DULL KNIFE'S VILLAGE AT LAST
STARVED OUT.
Camp Robinson, Neb;, April 21.
Eighty lodges of Cheyennes under
Dull KSife and Standing Elk surren-f
dered to General Crook at eleven a. m.'
to-day. The village comprises about
550 persons, 83 of whonl are fighting
men. They turned in 680 ponies,"
sixty guns about thirty pistols. They
are completely destitute of all tho
necessaries of life, having lost every
thing when their village was de
stroyed in November last. They have
no lodges, but simple shelters of old
canvas and skins, very few blankets'
and robes aud no cooking utensils
Many are still Buffering front frozen
limbs. It is surprising that they'
have been able to hold out bo long un
der these circumstances, and their do
ing so proves the fortitude of the
American . Indian under privation
and hardship. Th!s makes about 780
Cheyennes who have surrendered hero
since the 1st of January. Latest ad
vices represents Crazy Horse still on
the way to this agency.
Famine in Japan.
Yokohama, March 30. The Chinese
authorities offered active assistance to
Japan in suppressing the rebellion,
but it was. declined. There is a dis
tressing famine in the provinces of
Chihill and Shantung. Thousands
are dying daily. Great eflfbrta toward
relief by the natives and foreigners
are being made, but these are Only
partially successful in checking the
calamity. An Insurrection in the
army of SI Hung Chang, near Tien
Tsiu, in which 3,000 troops, driven to
desperation by deprivation of pay and
rations, mutinied, murdered thefr of
ficers and scattered, throughout
Chihill and Shangttmg, added to the
sufferings already caused by tho
famine. The remarkable edict of the
government, granting toleration to
native Christians, just published, wnf
in consequence of strong representa
tions from tho French Legation. .
