An extra session of congress, the president says. Is required to clothe him with authority, but It Is useless to call one while the senate works under the present rules which permit a small minority to keep an overwhelming majority from acting. The president proposes, therefore, that the special session of the senate which he called to meet March 6, revise the rules to supply the means of action and save the country from disaster. A little group of wilful men, says the president in his statement, representing no opinion but their own, have rendered the great government of the United States helpless and con temptible.

With gun mounts and ammunition for arming American merchant ships already assembled at navy yards, putting the weapons aboard can begin immediately on orders from President Wilson. NavyofTIclals estimate that It would take from three to five days per ship, working under pressure, to equip vessels previously surveyed for possible use as naval auxilarles. A longer time will be required for others. Every1 important Atlantic coast navy yard Is ready to undertake work on ships In its district on telegraphic Instructions from the department. It is expected that upon President Wilsons formal direction that applications of American ships for guns be complied wtlh, the commandants of .navy yards would be Instructed specifically to equip each ship for which application Is made. Aside from a blanket application from the American .line covering all Its ships, the navy department now has only requests for guns for a few individual vessels. Under the senate bill f, full complement of guns may be placed on board each ship. The big liners would carry six guns each for war purposes, and probably would carry two or more for defense against submarines. Most of them have deck emplacements already in structural work, work would be necessary only to fit proper magazines to insure against fire and explosions. jtr to Montana for Chinamen. Governor W.

Few who put a sprig of shamrock In their buttonhole . on the 17th of March realize that these little green leaves more than once kept the Irish from death in dire famine times. In 1590 the poet Spenser declares that the war had brought the miserable Inhabitants of Munster to a point where they flock to a plot of or shamrocks as to a feast" In his View of Ireland he describes this as the depth of ruin to which a lund formerly having abundant corn and cattle had been plunged. The troublous times continued end the shamrock Is mentioned as an article of food again and again. Fynes Morrison, In 1598, writes that the herb Is still being snatched out of the ditches for food." Withers In Abuses Strlpt and Whlpt (1613) sings: water-cress- es And for my clothing In g mantle go And feed on shamrocks aa tha Iriah dog. Not until later was the shamrock used as the national emblem of Erin. Nathaniel Colgan, member of the Royal Irish academy, says the earyest record of the wearing o the green" Is contained In the diary of Thomas Dinely, who wrote In 1687: 17(h day of March yearly Is St. Patrick, an Immovable feast, when the Irish of all stations and conditions wear crosses In their hats, some of pins, some of green ribbon, and the vulgar superstltlously wear three-leave- ' sham-rogue- s, grass, which they d eat (they say to cause a sweet breath). The common people and servants also demand their Patrick's groat of their masters, which go expressly to town, though hulf they a ' dozen miles off, to spend, where sometimes It amounts to a piece of eight or a cobb apiece, and very few of the zealous are found sober at likewise night A Inter reference to the wearing of the shamrock appears In the works of Dr. Caleb Threlkehl, a botanist of the early eighteenth century. He says: "The peoplo wear the plant In their hats In commemoration of SL Patrick, IRELAND'S ANCIENT GLORIES believing that Ft. Patrick used the leaf to explain the Christian Trinity.

The sermons preached are in Gaelic, and the masses continue from daybreak until noon. St Patrick Is on record as having visited The Reek In A. D. 441 and spent forty days on Its summit bidden from the world by the mists banging about the lower portion of the mountain. The legend says that he was assailed by huge black birds, which only took to flight when be rang his bell agulnst them. The bell rolled down tbe mountain, but an angel came and restored It to the saint All the men of Erin heard this ringing of the bell, and It Is stated now . that It Is often heard again. Afterward St Patrick was visited by angels, and from their leader he wrested the following pledges: That as many souls should be saved as could fill the horizon which he looked upon ; that on every Thursday seven souls and on every Saturday twelve souls should be freed from purgatory; that whoever recited the last verse of bis hymn constantly should suffer no torments In the next world, and that on the last day he should be appointed to sit In Judgment on the sins of Gael.
