AN EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS
Canal Are Ratf-
fed.

Washington, February 19.-President
Roosevelt will call an extraordinary
session of the senate of the fifty-eight
congress unless Doth the a canal
and the Cuban reciprocity treaties are
ratified at the present session. The
president made this declaration OF his
intention to several senators today and
he made it as emphatically and une-
quivocally as he was capable of max
ing it.
1t is deemed likely by officials of the
administration and by senator's that
both treaties will be ratified before
March 4th, 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 imme-
diately his call for an extra session.
1t is said that there are grave rea-
sons of state why both treaties should
be ratified as soon as possible. These
have induced the president to make the
announcement to Of his deter
mination.

ATTACK ON METROPOLITAN
Rumors Affecting the Financial
Policy eliminate in Bear Attack
on the Shares.

New York, February 19.-Rumor5 at
fecting the financial policy of the Ne
tropolitan Street Railway company
which had been current in the inaf,oial
district for several weeks, culminGted
today in what appeared to be a bear
attack on the shares of the MetroTOli-
tan company and Metropolitan Securi-
ties, the holding company of the ophrat
ing line. The shares Of both compar!es
suffered severely while the raid vas
on the ira ction stocks making a max
imum decline of over thee points, and
the securities stock selling off ever
more. Practical recovery was mad by
both issues before the close.
The attack on Metropolitan bnGGn
Don after the opening of the market.
md gained in force shortly after mon
when rumorS of many sorts were CIR
culated. m of these rum0rs reported
4 defalcation of several million dollars.
While rumor limited ct gross irregu'ari-
lies by insiders. To add to the feeling
# distrust there were heavy selling or
iers of Metropolitan for Philadelphia
account.
Officials of the Metropolitan CDm-
oany made prompt denial of airy
trouble and characterized all such ru-
mOrs as malicious and inspired for
'tock jobbing purposes. This view
vas accepted by the conservative e'e-
ment in the street.
One of the partners III a leading
banking house which has close reia-
lions with the Metropol. tan interest
stated hat he had made an investioa-
ion into the reports circulated recently.
md as a result of this Investigation
Felt convinced that they were without
foundation.
Wall street recalled today thai the
formation of the Metropolitan SecCri-
ties Company had not been made wrTh-
out some opposition on the pat of
stockholders n certain speculative
interests, the latter including a promi-
nent brokerage firm. 1t was also re-
called that bad feeling has existed be-
tween some OF the leading insiders in
Metropolitan and a very 'nent
~Speculator. This feeling has existed.
it is said. since the time the Third
Avenue street lines was taken out of
the late Henry Harris control. 1t was
suggested that today's raid was enci-
neered by the speculative interests
which SO earnestly opposed Metropoli-
tan's control of Third avenue.

Crop Bulletin.

Week ending juno Is, pes
Moines, Ia. The past week was
cooler than usual, the daily
mean temperature for the state
ranging from eight to ten de-
grees below normal. There was
about the normal amount Of
sunshine, with but little preci-
pitation in the form of local
showers. In view of the pre-
vious saturated condition of ii e
soil, the weather conditions If
the week were altogether me re
favorable than would have been
a sudden change to hot and dry
weather, resulting in encrust-
ing the surface. The low tenn
perature was favorable fer
oats and spring wheat, check
ing the tendency to rankness
of growth and damage by rust,
and these crops are generally
doing fairly we'll.
Work in the corn fields has
been vigorously carried on, in
planting, replanting and cult
waiting. In numerous localities
farmers were cultivating the
second time, while in the same
vicinity planting was. being
done in fields previously too
wet. The weather has been too
cool for quick termination and
rapid growth of corn, but the
crop has shown a fair measure
of improvement within the last
few days. The work of finish
ing planting is likely to be con-
tinued till the Goth; but with
the best conditions the usual
acreage willn not beplanted. The
hay crop is likely to be a record
breaker, and in few localities
hay making operations have
been commenced. The apple
crop still gives promise of a
fair yield.
