AoHGuhA 70 &uo GVntl
Washington, May b.--To a number Of SEN
ntors who called on him this morning for
the purpose OF discussing Cuban reciprocity.
President Roosevelt stated In unmistakable
terms that unless some measure providing
tarin ''relief'' for Cuba was passed during
the present session he would convene con-
gress in extraordinary session immediately
after adjournment. He is, IL IS stated, very
much displeased with the beet sugsx In
surgents OF both houses, and with the
house leaders whose acknowledgements, from
the republican standpoint. made possible
the passage of the bin which Is now In
tho senate committee. aad which includes
the amendment abolish1Rs the dinsrential
on refined sugar. The statement made to-
day would seem TO indicate that tho ses-
sion will DO prolonged 70 an extent not at
all In limo with the Views OF those who are
looking for adjournment about 1una 10.
Tho threat 60 convene special seasion will
doubtless make the senate leaders work all
the harder TO get a straight tnrir reduction
bin through: and. as there are at present
no indications OF any weakening on the
part of che opposition, it Is thought a pro-
longed struggle will be brought about. De-
spite the threat however, many well in
formed persons are still Of the opinion that
bill. such as the president wants passed,
will not be passed.

Announcements of the Theaters.

John Drew's new play, The Second in
Command" which is to be given under
Charles Frohman's direction at Boyd's
theater tonight and tomorrow night, is con-
sidered the happiest medium for the ex-
preston OF his art that this polished and
attractive actor has ever had. The crowded
houses that witnessed his performances at
the Empire. New York, went into ecstAcies,
from all accounts, over the beauties Of the
exquisite play and the charm and power
OF Mr.. Drew's Interpretation Of the charac-
ter OF the hero-iover. The result OF the
splendid impression thus made was that
Mr.. Drew played the most prosperous en-
gagement Of his career at the Empire. The
piece introduces him In modern military
costume for the FIRST time since he became
a star under Mr.. Frohman. The present.
by the. way. Is the tenth year Of the as
ISOLATION OF the two gentlemen as manager
and star, respectively.
