EXTRA SESSION OF SENATE.
President Will Call One Unless Trea.
ties Are Ratified

Washington, Feb. 20.-President
Roosevelt will call an extraordinary
session of the senate Of the Fifty
eighth congress unless both the Pan
anna canal and the Cuban reciprocity
treaties are ratified at the present ses-
sion. The president made this dec
laration of his intention to several
senators and he made it as emphatic
ard unequivocal as he was capable of
making it.
1t is deemed likely by officials of the
administration and by many senators
that both treaties will be ratified be-
fore March 4, but the necessity for
their early ratification is regarded by
the president as so urgent that in the
event of the failure of either one or
both at the present session he will
issue Immediately his call for an ex-
ira session.
Ie is said that there are grave rea-
sons of state why both treaties should
be ratified as soon as possible. I these
have induced the president to make
the announcement to senators of his
