THAT MEXICAN IMeRooLlo
May Possibly Result in an Extra Session Of
Congress.

Congress.
WASHINGTON. Aug ga member of the
Foreign Affairs Committee holding close
relations with the Administration stated
tonight that the adoption of the Cutting
resolutions, should they pass the House
tomorrow, would imply much more than
seemed to be generally supposed. In
the first place, he said, Mexico has boen
asked to release this man Cutting. Mex
leo has refused, and has given reasons.
These resolutions declare those reasons in
sufficient and request the President to re-
new the demand. Should this renewed de.
mand be refused, our minister will be at
once withdrawn, and then in all probabil-
ity an extra session of Congress would
nave to be called. Mr. Belmont, the Chair
nan Of the House Committee on Foreign
Affairs, is working most earnestly for the
release Of Mr.. Cutting.
