A SPECIAL SESSION
President Will Call Senate in Extra
ordinary Session After the November
Elections to Ratify Treaty of Re-
ciprocity With Cuba.

Washington. Aug. 12.-Advices 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 rumors of a more or
less definite nature have been in cir
culation that the president would call
an extra session, either of the entire
congress to enact Cuban reciprocity
legislation or of tie senate to ratify,
il possible, a reciprocal treaty with
Cuba.
During the past week it has been
stated that it is the purpose of the
president to call special session of the
senate early i'm September. 1t can be
stated by authority that he has no such
intention. His time and that of many
of the members of both political parties
will be occupied during September and
October. lit is understood to be the be-
lief of the president that session of the
senate held for the purpose of ratifNing
a reciprocity treaty with Cuba would
be much more likely to be fruitful of
results if ii was held after the No
Nenber elections than if held before. 1t
is assured the question of relations of
the United States with Cuba will enter
largely into the approaching campaign
and it is stated the president feels the
democrats will be less likely to offer
serious opposition to reciprocity
treaty after election than they would
before that time. The treaty with Cuba
practically has been prepared. 1t re-
quires only the finishing touches and
the signatures of Minister Quesada and
Secretary Hay to make ready for pre-
sentation to the senate. No definite
date. ii is understood, has been fixed
upon for the meeting of the session III
November but that it will be soon after
the election is reasonably certain. The
president, ii is said, hopes to have the
reciprocity question cleared away en-
tirely before the regular session of con-

CUBAN TREATY READY.
Will Be the First Thing Presented t
the Senate,

Washington, Aug. 12.-One of the
first papers sent to the senate when
that body reconvenes in December will
be treaty of reciprocity between the
republic of Cuba and the United States.
While the convention is not yet an ac-
Complished fact, the negotiations have
proceeded far enough to warrant the
statement that it will be ready for the
attention of the senate as soon as that
branch of the government assemblies.
Political events in the northwest dur
ing the last few weeks have demon
strated that those who opposed con-
cessiona of the new republic during the
last days of the session of congress
which recently closed We're not in har
mony with their constituents.
Those members who opposed the
policy of President Mckinley and of
President Roosevelt and joined the
forces of the so-called insurgents"
have had very hard time in explain
ing themselves and their course to the
people who sent them to Washington
as representatives in congress.
Some of these men have failed to Sc
cure denomination. Others pulled
thru only by narrow margins and still
post in November
Still the action of the men who de-
feated the presidents Cuban policy
has not been without beneficial re-
suits Had the so-called reciprocity
bill secured a majority of both houses
of congress there would have remained
no assurance whatever that its en-
actment into law would have resulted
on the part of Cuba. The inhabitants
of the Queen of the Antilles, like all
tropical and semi tropical peoples, are
much given to the habit of putting off
until tomorrow what ought to be done
today. "Heista Manyena wait till
tomorrow--is the almost universal pol
icy of the Spanish American people
1t is learned that the forthcoming
treaty will practically assure the con-
troll of the Cuban markets to the
Americans. 1t will be practically a re-
enactment of the provisions of the
treaty between Spain and the United
States, which was negotiated by former
Senator Palmer, of Michigan, while
United States minister to Madrid, and
which will open up in Cuba a market
for American meats, -four provisions
and machinery, which was never be
fore. Cuba will obtain in the United
States a market for her sugar tobacco
and fruits, and in return will take what
she needs from the United States in
stead of Europe.
The course of the beet sugar men will
not have been without material benefit
to this country. therefore, and ii is per-
haps just as Well that they declined
to indorse the presidents policy with
out treaty. That treaty Will be rati-
fed, and that promptly, needs no dem

| Famous Aeriaii5t.
Washington, Aug. 12.-Among the
more serious students of aerial naviga-
| ton. and there are a number OF such in
the scientific and engineering force oil
| the government. much interest is felt il
! the experiments baing conducted 10y
/ Professor Alexander Graham Bell. in
ventor of the telephone. Professor Bel
has a summer home in Canada. ana
while there he spends most of his time
il experimenting with aerial apparatus.
Private advices to friends in Washing
ton are to the effect that Professor Bell
is about to assemble the results OF his
extensive studies in q machine which
will be on a scale to demonstrate the
practicability of aerial flight for man.
Professor Bells high standing in the
scientific world. and his success in Civ
ing to the world one of the most valu-
able inventions of this century. insures
his experiment q serious consideration.
His very great wealth. moreover. en-
ables him to take advantage of every
aid that modern engineering can give.
In matters of aerial dynamics Pro-
fessor Bell is n student OF Professor S.
u. Langley. secretary of the Smithson-
inn Institute. Professor Bell was one of
the half dozen persons privileged TO
witness the fight of the Langley aero
drome in May. 1895, on the Potomac. a
few miles below Washington. He was
profoundly impressed by what he saw
and believes with Professor Langley
that the possibility of mechanical flight
.,tr II
that it only remains now to bring ito
erfection the machine which Langley
invented.
Tt is understood that Professor Bell
has devoted himself to certain modifica-
tions of the supporting aeroplanes or
wings. which were the feature of Pro-
fessor Langley's machine. His changes
are suggested by the box kite as dis
tinguished from the old style of flat
Kite. One of the most serious difficult
ties encountered in the Langley ma
chine was balancing it in the shifting
currents of air. AS the box kite az
rangement of aeropanes is more stable
than the old single plane kite with its
elaborate balancing tail and its quad
ruple .belly-b band so Professor Bell
figured that he could secure a greater
relative degree of stability for his flying
machine by an adaptation of that ar
rangement in place of the wings. a
rough idea of the Bell machine may be
had by conceiving a typical box kite.
