Washington, April 1.—Pursuant to the President’s call for an extra ordinary session of the Sixty-second Congress, the senate and house of representatives will meet tomorrow at noon. The President's message relating to reciprocity with Canada will not be sent in until Wednesday. In the senate the routine program will be followed. Vice-President Sherman will call the senate to or der, andi the President's proclamar tlon calling the session will be read. A committee will be appointed to call upon the President and Inform him that the senate Is In session, and another committee will similarly advise the house. A brief shift of seats in the senate will accompany the .opening of the session. Not only will there be many of the familiar faces that have seemed fixtures in the upper houew and be in evidence In many new faces, but many of the old ones will appear In the new places. The greatest change In the seat ing in the senate will be the wiping out of "Cherokee stripe"—that group of seats on the extreme end of the minority side which have been occupied for a number of years by Republicans. That Is due, of course, to the replacing by Democrats of Rep blicans In several delegations. , Under the rearrangement of seats tb^so who 'will h4fo r the front tow COURT KNOCKS OUT PROHI LAW The U.

April 8.—State Ento mologist Worsham, returning from an extended trip aronnd Georgia,' re ports that at least 40 per cent, of the peach crop below Macon will lie saved. He believes, however, that the yield for the entire state this I portlonment bill will be sent over by over from the house, and it i* probable that after disposing of its preliminary business the senate will adjourn for several days at a time until the action of the house la taken. The scope of legislation and'the probable length of the session are now the staple topics of discussion.
