Kinley is still dead set for an extra
session of congress to consider the Gu
ban affair.
Senator Foraker was a visitor at the
white house yesterday. and ON his re-
turn to the capitol astonished his con-
freres very much by telling them the
president had said to him an extra ses-
e!on seemed unavoidable. Senator For
aker has Informed the president that
there seemed to be small likelihood of
action by congress- concerning tho Gu
ban question at .hip session, whereupon
the president remarked that 1t did not
make much difference to him whether
or not the matter was disposed of now
that It would be very easy for him to
call congress together in March or April.
Senator Foraker then asked if the
president intended to call special ses-
elon in case the Cuban constitutional
convention responded In satisfactory
way IN regard to the relations which are
to exist between the two countries
The president replied that 1t did not
make any difference what the Cubans
did; II was the duty Of congress to share
with him responsibility for the action
OF this government, and he was deter
mined that responsibility should be met.
