son said today that the British govern
ment had received advices from one Of

ish representation, had directed Inspec-

EXTRA SESSION
IS LIKELY
President Roosevelt Has
Given an Ultimatum to
the Members of the
United States
Senate.
TREATIES MUST Be PASSED
Both the Panama and the Cuban
Reciprocity Treaties Mast be
Acted Upon by March A, or
an Extra Session Will be
Called by the President.

Washington, Feb. 10. - President
Roosevelt will call an extraordinary
session of the senate of the 5Sth con-
gress unless both the Panama canal
and the Cuban reciprocity treaties are
ratified at the present session. The
president made this declaration to sew
eral senators today and he made it as
emphatically and unequivocally as he
was capable of making it. 1t is deemed
likely by officials of the administration
and by many senators that both trea-
ties will be ratified before March 4, but
the necessity for their early ratification
is regarded by the president as so ur-
gent that in the event of failure Of
either one or both at the present ses-
sion, he will issue Immediately his call
for an extra session.
THE SENATE.
Washington, Feb. 19.-In the senate
the Quay resolution, declaring it to be
the sense of the senate that a vote on
the statehood bill be taken prior to
March 2, went over until tomorrow. The
bill making Sabine Pass port of entry
in Texas which has caused considerable
discussion in the senate heretofore, was
considered for a time. On motion of
Mr.. Bailey, the bill was amended so as
to apply to Texas only. The bill went
over without action. Then the senate
at 1920 went into executive session to
consider the Colombian canal treaty.
1t is said that there are grave rea-
sons of state why both treaties should
be ratified as soon as possible
THE HOUSE.
Washington, Feb. 19.-Withort pre-
liminary business the house today pro-
ceeded with the consideration of the
naval appropriation bill.
A PLUM FOR RICHARDS.
Washington, Feb. 19.-John X. Rich
ards, solicitor general, has been selec-
ted by the president to be circuit judge
Of the sixth circuit to succeed VIM. r.
Day, who will be appointed to the SUI
preme court, vice Justice Shiras, re-
signed.
ANOTHER CHANCE FOR STATE
HOOD.
Washington, Feb. 19.-There is a |
movement on among some of the |
friends of the statehood bill in the sem
ate to couple the fortunes of that |
measure with those of the Panama can
al treaty and make the ratification Of
the one depend upon the passage of the |
other The details of the plan have
not come to light fully, but it is under
stood the scheme is to menace the trea-
ty by delay until an agreement to vote
On the statehood bill can be secured.
None of the statehood supporters will
admit that this is the purpose, but one
If the most prominent of them on the
side Of the chamber admit
ed that such is the tendency.
