WASHINGTON. Aug. 12.-During
the past week. it has been stated that
It was the purpose OF President Roose-
Welt TO call a special session of the
senate early in September. 1t .an be
stated on authority that he has no
such intention. His time and that of
the members Of both political parties
viii be occupied during September and
October. 1t is understood to be the
belief OF the president that a session
held for the purpose of ratifying a re-
ciprocity treaty with Cuba would he
much more likely to be fruitful of re-
suits of held after the November
elections than If held before. It is as
sared that the questions of the rela-
tions of the United States and Cuba
viii enter largely into the approaching
campaign and it is stated that the
Democrats win be less likely to offer
serious opposition to a reciprocity
treaty after the election than they
would before that time.
A treaty with Cuba practically has
been prepared. 1t requires only the
finishing touches and the signature of
Minister Quesada and Secretary of
State Hay to make it ready for pre-
sentation to the senate. No definite
date. 1t is understood has been fixed
upon for the meeting of the session
in November. but that it will be soon
after the election. il is reasonably GER
tain. The president, it is said, hopes
TO have the reciprocity question clear
ed away entirely before the regular
session of congress.

in answer to a question concerning the
formation of a beef combine, answer
ed:
''Our great organization is Watching
every move of the big packers, fully
realizing the ruin which would ensue
if the contemplated combine is effect
ed The packers have individually de-
MED any intention of combining into
merger of packing interests. If they
are attempting to deceive the stockmen
and the public they will incur the oppo-
sition of every live stock producer IN
the union. Such combine would De
more disastrous than any other which
could be formed, for then one man
would arbitrarily fix the price to the
consumer of meats. 1t would be against
public policy and result in the greatest
commercial warfare ever waged in this
continent, and in the end the packers
combine would go to the wall. If the
packers are wise as 1 give them credit
for, they will let well enough alone
if they deceive us as to their inten-
tions then 1 give notice now that 1t

stock, aided by the consumers of this
