WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March IA, 1901. -
Vice-Presdent Roosevelt made an ex-
cellent impression during the week he
presided over the special session of the
Senate, which adjourned Saturday,
after having acted upon the nomina-
tions for which the session was called.
He made several unimportant mistakes.
owing to his lack of knowledge Of
Senate usage, but they were speedily
corrected He was personally popular
with many of the senators before his
Inauguration as vice-president, and he
has since become more so.
Secretary Hay and the French Am
bassador have signed an agreement ex-
tending the time within which the
reciprocity treaty with France, which
the Senate failed to act upon, may be
ratified, to Sept. "a, 1902. President
Mckinley regards this and other reci-
procity treaties as absolutely necessary
for the extension of foreign markets
for American goods, and besides this
extension has headed off scheme of
several European governments to com
bine for the purpose of waging n COM
mercial war against the United States.
AS it makes il certain that France will
not join in such scheme unless the
reciprocity treaty with her fails to be
ratified within the time specified.
Senator Fry. who has again been
honored by unimous election TO be
president pro tenn of the Senate, says
he will devote u portion of the Con-
gressional recess to preparing new
shipping bill, which he will use his
best efforts to put through at the next
regular session of Congress, in order
to give American shipping the chance
u deserves ta keea pace With the
American industries that now lead the
world.
Senator Mitchell, Of Oregon, made
she first speech in Congress in favor of
the election Of senator's by direct vote
of the people about twenty-five years
ago, and he says recent events have
made him more strongly in favor Of
the change than ever. lie believes
that it may be made at the next session
of Congress.
Nothing could more strongly accent
uatc the difference between American
methods an1 those of other govern
ments than the fact that the Americans
in Oh ma have executed no boxers, al
though they have captured as many OF
them as the troops OF any Of the other
covers have.
The Cubans are naturally talkative.
Therefore it is not surprising that they
should do lot OF talking before ac-
cepting the conditions of Congress.
There is no doubt Of their final accept
ance. among those who are in a posi-
tion to know the real conditions in
Cuba
Each of the powers Interested is
loudly shouting for square deal in
China, but the United States is the
only one of them that Is not secretly
working for its own advantage in the
final settlement.
