WILL BE AN EXTRA SESSION
Gage Says. If This Congress Defeats
the Army BILL

Chicago. Ill, Feb. 13.-Secretary of the
Treasury Gage and Mrs Gage were in Chi
cago Sunday to attend the funeral of Dr.
]. H. Eetheridge. Before leaving for
Washington today Secretary Gage said:
Financial reform is neither dead nor
asleep. The extraordinary prosperity of
the government finances and of the bust
ness of the country has combined with the
glut of important business in congress to
delay it, but the delay only adds to the
sense of its Importance. and makes it
clearer every day what legislation is
needed. I do not look for action at the
present session of congress, but have no
doubt that the next session will give effect
to the recommendations of the president
and the secretary of the treasury in regard
to the retirement of the greenbacks."
''Win there be an extra session of con-
gress?'
THAT depends on the fate of the army
bill. If congress does not pass that bill
at the present session there will certainly
be an extra session.
THE situation in the Philippines does not
give US any uneasiness. The opposition to
the American occupation is etfrely the ef-
temporarily misled the people. But the
strife will soon be over, and as soon as
the natives have become quiet, so as to
listen to reason, we have no fear that
they Will not acquiesce in all that we pro-
pose to do there As TO the islands being
a heavy tax on this country, that IS all
moonshne. The revenues Of the Philip
pines will at all times be ample to defrav
all possible expenses of government. We
feel even more hopeful in regard TO Cuba
Industries are reviving, there is a growing
spirit of cooperation, and the island will in
the near future be more prosperous than
its people ever expected it could be
"Our trade relations with Canada seem
to be difficult 10 adjust TO the satisfaction
Of both countries. Mr. Charlton would
sweep away the national frontier and
make business intercourse as untrammeled
between the two countries as it is now be-
tween two OF our states. But I think the
day is good way off when such reciproc-
ity as that vii Ibe regarded with favor in
this country"
