The circulars offered $I.25 Der

1t is said the negro Stover has
been very successful in hiring
laborers and had arranged for a

Stover and his assistant, Brown,

The president passed an un-
eventful day, remaining most

to be moved to various parts of

that a second operation was

sSEvElT THINKS HIS J
PARTY SHOULD BE ONE
= Such a Treaty Is Made With Island
Republic Before November Elections,
President Thinks It VIII Be fruitless
of Results-Rumors Of Call for Extra
Session Have Been Flying About Ma
tional Capital for Sometime.

Washington, August i2.--AdVces re-
ceived here indicate that President
Roosevelt will call the senate in extra
ordinary session early in November.
Ever since it became evident that
nothing would be accomplished as to
reciprocity with Cuba at the recent
session OF congress-, runos OF more or
less definite nature have been In crcua-
ton that the president would call an
extra session either OF the entire con-
oress to enact Cuban reciprocity leosla-
ton or of the senate to ratiiy, il possible,
a reciprocal treaty with Cuba.
During the past week it has been
stated that II was the purpose Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to call special session
OF the senate early IN September. 1t
can be stated on authority that he has
no such intention. His time, and that
OF many members OF both political par
ties, will be occupied during September
and October II is understood TO bc
the belief oi the president that a session
he'd for the purpose of rat'fying reel
proc,ty treaty with Cuba would be much
more likely to be fruitful OF results IT
held after the November elections than
" held before.
1t is assured that the question OF the
relations Of the United States with Cuba
will enter largely into the approaching
campaign and it is stated that the presi-
dent feels the democrats will be less
likely to offer serious opposition to rcci-
procity treaty after the election than they
would before that time.
A treaty with Cuba practically has
been prepared. It requires only the
finishing touches and the signatures Of
Minister Quesada and Secretary Of State
Hay to make it ready for presentation TO
the senate. No definite date, il is un-
derstood, has been fixed upon for the
meeting of the session in November, but
that il will be soon after the election, il
is reasonably certain. The president, il
is said, hopes TO have the reciprocity
question cleared away entirely baforc the
regular session Of congress.

Sorry She Will Feel"

Disguised with life by reason of i'm
proper treatment at the hands Of Emanuel
Ienaglia, with whom she was living, Rosa
Borgetta swallowed a dose of poison in
cabin at the rear Of No. a4o Indiana
avenue some time last night and her
dead body was found stiff and cold about
II o'clock this morning.
The discovery was made by Mrs. Samuel
Ayotte, who owns the cabin, and had it
not been for the fact that Mrs. Ayotte
desired to place another stove in the lit
tie house, the body might not have been
discovered for weeks.
That Rosa Borgetta killed herself there
is not the slightest doubt and that the
deed was the result of neglect and ill
treatment on the part Of Tenaglia, there
is even less doubt, for the woman left
several letters, in which she made the
case perfectly clear. One of the letters
was addressed to Tenaglia and read as
follows:
The Shame Of It!

that this has happened. You wrote to
