EXTRA SESSION OF SENATE.

Treaties Are Not Ratified.

Washington, Feb 10--President
Roosevelt viii callan extraordinary ses-
sion Of the senate Of the Fifty-eighth
Congress, unless both the Panama
canal and the Cuban reciprocity treaty
are ratified at the present session. The
president made this declaration OF his
intention to several senators today, and
he made II as emphatic0lly tand un-
equlvocally as he was capable Of max
ing it.
II 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 IL regarded by the
president as so urgent that IN the event
Of the failure Of either one or both at
the present session he win issue imme-
diately his cali for an extra session,
II 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 senators Of his deter

reside, the only locality specified being
three villages In northern Turkey in
which most Of the Christians live The
protection Of the lives and the complete
safe guarding Of the interests OF the
Christians form the chief features OF the
note.
IN vie% OF the unanimlty Of the pow
ers the officials Gere consider that the
suitaa Is certain to accept the proposed
reforms but 1t Is not intended to ter
min,tte the question with the presenta-
ton Of the note. II viii be followed

ing sending consuls of the various

given and that the reforms are really
carried out The authorities do not hes
itatc TO say that the note is only the
first step IN the plans for the better
ment Of the condition Of the people UNI

An Official here said that while the
United States was not concerned in the
action directly yet the protection de-
manded for all Christians would be In
directly beneficial to the American

coed the retiring chief, but he has intl-
mated, indirectly that Sheets would re-
ceive the appointment. But the APP
polntment and the confirmation are two
entirely different propositions, and It Is
stated on the very best authority that
Mr.. Sheets will never be confirmed by
the present council. Mayor Thompson
claims that he did not know Chief Paul
had any intention Of leaving the office.
Both the mayor and the chief deny that
the resignation Is the result Of the re-
cent dispute with reference to closing
up the gambling bells. That the rela-
lions between the two since that time
have been decidedly strained, there can
not be the least doubt, and friends Of
Chief Paul, that Is, those who We're on
the Inside, expected daily that the
mayor would make an effort to remove
the chief II this is true. then Chief
Paul has very eifeotually blocked the
game by reslgning. But as 10 his rea-
son for taking this course he Is more

Nosc He Seeks Retirement.

The question that now arises Is; was
the chief afraid that he would be re-
moved? He declares not But Il comes
from authority that he himself VIII not
likely dispute, that II had been inti-
mated 10 him that his new policy was
not pleasing to the powers that be, and
that he would sooner or later have TO

Hilton, and that he determined that he
would play little game Of his own by
anticipating possible hight against
him, by stepping down ana Out. Wheth-
err his retirement means that the Or
der so peremptorlly given by him two
weeks ago prohibiting gambling is TO

also the further question; VIII Mayor

firmatlon OF Detective Sheets to the
