EXTRA SESSION OF

Washington, March 3.-The Presi-
dent yesterday issued the following
proclamation:
by the President of the United
States of America-A Proclamation.
Whereas. public interests require
that the Senate should convene in en-

claim and declare that an extraordi-

the United States of America to con-
vene at the capitol in the city Of
Washington on the 5th day of March
next, at 12 o'clock noon, of which all
persons who shall at that time be en-
titled to act as members of that body
are hereby required to take notice.
"Given under by hand and the seal

changes for the better and not for the
worse 1t happens l have appointed a
white man to succeed colored man

at Atlanta In South Carolina l have
similarly appointed white postmaster
to succeed a colored postmaster. Again
in South Carolina l have nominated a
colored man to fill vacancy in the po-
sition of collector of the port of
Charleston, just as in Georgia l have
reappointed the colored man who is
now serving as collector of the port OF
Savannah. Both are fit men. Why the
appointment of one should cause any
more excitement than the appointment
of the other l am wholly at loss to
imagine. l need hardly say that to
connect either of these appointments,
or any or all my appointments.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT DEFENDS
HIS SOUTHERN APPOINTMENTS

Atlanta, Ca, March 3.-The follow
ing is part of letter from President
Roosevelt to the. editor of the Consti-
tuition in reply to request for an ex-
preston concerning the recent letter
from Mr. Harry Stillwell Edwards of
Macon, in which Mr.. Edwards made a
statement of the Presidents position in
the matter of federal appointments in
the South, holding that the President
had been misunderstood.
President Roosevelt writes:
White House, Washington, Feb. "a,
1903.
Hon. Clark Howell, Editor of the
Constitution, Atlanta, Georgia:
Dear Mr.. Howell-As to federal ap-
pointments in the South: Frankly. it
seems to me that my appointments
speak for themselves and that my pol
Icy is self-explanatory. So far from
feeling that they need the slightest
apology or justification, my position is
that on the strength of what l have
done have the right to claim the sup
port of all good citizens who wish not
only a high standard of federal service
but fair and equitable dealing to the
South as we'll as. to the North and a
policy of consistent justice and good
will toward all men.
In making appointments l have
sought to consider the feeling of the
people of each locality SO far as /
could consistently do SO without sacri-
ficing principle The prime tests l
have applied have been those of char
acter, fitness and ability, and when l
have been dissatisfied with what has
been offered within my own party lines
l have, without hesitation, gone to the
opposite party, and you are of course
aware that l have repeatedly done this
in your own state of Georgia. l GER

CUBA WILL CEDE
NAVAL STATIONS

Washington. Feb. 26. = President
Roosevelt has signed the agreement
drawn under the terms of the Plat
amendment, providing for the acquisi-
ton by the United States Of naval
station at Guantanamo, and coalina
station at Bahai Hondo, both in Cuba
The document had been previously
signed by President Palma and was
brought to Washington by Minister
Squiers. 1t does not specify the price
of the properties to be acquired by the
United States and this detail is left to
be settled by the usual legal condem-
natory proceedings, after the Navy De-
partment has decided exactly the
amount of land it wishes at each place.
With these two places properly forth
fed as naval bases, the Gulf of Mexi-
co would not be possible of occupation
by a hostile fleet and the Caribbean
sea would be unsafe for an enemy. AT
Guantanamo there will be erected ex-
tensive coal docks and perhaps short
line of railroad to connect the port
with the backbone railroad, already
finished by private enterprise. Bahai
Rondo will for some time probably be
used as place for the storage Of coal.
It is learned that the document is
not treaty, but is rather in the ma
ture of an agreement under the terms
of the Platt amendment. Therefore ii
will not be necessary to submit it to
the Senate. President Palma, however,
deems it expedient to submit the agree
ment to the Cuban Senate, but from
the nature of the report made to Sec
retary Hay. there seems to be little
doubt that such approval is already
assured. In fact, it is said that had
the United States SO desired, it might
have included the splendid bay of Nipe
or the northeast coast, in its list of
accessions as coaling stations.

EIGHT BILLS RECOMMENDED FOR
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS

Denver, March 3.-The joint COM
mittee on constitutional amendments
decided last night to report favorably
to-day on Senate concurrent resolution
No. 2. by Senator Griffith, providing a
change in the manner of raising rev.
enues for the maintenance of state in
stitutions and the state government;
under which counties would pay to the
state in proportion to the amount col
lected for county purposes rather than
on the amount of the assessment for
county purposes as at present.
Agreements were also reached on
the following other bills providing for
submitting amendments to the consti-
tuition at the next state election.
Senate bill No. 240. by Senator Nc
Guire, to provide for exempting from
taxation 5000 worth of personal prop
erty rather than 5000 worth of house
hold goods as under the existing con
stitutional provision. This amendment
is advocated by the author as a relief
to mechanics, music teachers, express
men and other classes which have
heretofore been taxed for what were
considered the tools of their trade.
Senate bill No. 9. by senator Taylor,
iabolishing the Court of Appeals and
to submit an amendment increasing
the supreme bench from three to seven
judges. all of whom shall be elected
for ten-year terms. This amendment
was asked by the bar association last
night through Attorneys Harry Bryant

committee; Caldwell Yeaman, Lucius
w. Hoyt and Hugh Butler. all of whom
