journment of Congress to-day; shall not
engage in any such undertaking against
gins tomorrow. My only object in this
long contest. Is to have the convention per
fccted as il should be, to protect Ameri-
can rights for all time"
This statement was made to The Republic
tonight by Senator John 4. Morgan OF
Alabama. on the eve of the extra session OF
the Senate. for the calling of which his al
titude toward the treaty and his earnest
ard historic fight 10 have 1t perfected have
been largely responsible.
The special session will meet tomorrow
at noon. according TO the proclamation or
the President. fer the purpose of ratrving
the Panama Canal and Cuban reciprocity
treaties
1t is now the intention to take up and dis
pose Of the canal treaty first Mr.. Morgan
will continue TO urge his amendment when
the treaty Is brought into executive session.

made before" said Mr. Morgan tonight. in
talking of the treaty. Il will vote for 1t IL
the amendments. which l consider vital.

Outstanding. This will save much money
and much trouble in the future. Ny con-

Two new members of the Senate who will
take their seats tomorrow are opposed to
the treaty In its present form. and will
use their endeavors with Senator Morgan
to have IT perfected. These are Senators
German of Maryland and McCreary OF
Kentucky.
The outlook for the Cuban reciprocity
treaty is uncertain.
The length of the extra session is entirely

Washington. March 4.-The Fifty-seventh
Congress expired AT noon to-day by limita-
ton. There has not been in many years
such a demonstration In the House as oc-
CURED to-day. owing to the fact that
Speaker Henderson was retiring. not only
as presiding officer, but from the House as
a member
The bitter partisan feeling that has
sprung up in the House OF Representatives
during the past week reached a pitch
which prevented the Speaker from receiving
the unanimous approval of the House when
the usual resolution of thanks and courtesy
was offered.
More than this. the resolution had to
come from the Republican side, and. While
this has occurred before, 1t IS not the usual
custom.
Cochran of Missouri called for a division,
but II was not granted.
The usual resolution of thanks TO Presi-
dent .ro tempore Frye was unanimously
adopted In the Senate. ,
Two years ago. when the fffty-sixth
Congress expired. II was rernarkapie, no.
only for the second inauguration Of William
Mckinley. but also for the fact that Sena
tor Carter of Montana talked the river and

utes of the end

pred also talked unimDortant bill 10

Senate for its unlimited debate, which al
lows bills to be killed in that manner, ana
ne also made a final plea for the freedom
OF the Filipinos.
As all of the important supply bills had
passed before the two houses took a recess
this morning. no legislation was necessary
and none was attempted. The bills which
had passed and reached the stage OF en-
rollment We're all signed by President
Roosevelt who. with members Of his CaDl-
net occupied the Presidents room In the
Senate wing of the Capitol. This biennial
visit of the President TO the Capitol is one
of the features of closing Congress.

CUBAN TREATY MAY CONE FIRST.
senate Soon VIII Decide on Plans for
Extra Session.

Washington. March 4.-There is a proba-
bility that the Cuban reciprocity treaty will
be taken up at the extra session of the Sem
ate in advance of the Panama Canal treaty
but the order of business will not be de-
termined for a day two.
When the Senate goes into executive ses-
sion tomorrow the treaties will be referred
to the Committee on Foreign Relations. a
proceeding which is made necessary by the
expira ton of the old Congress and the open
ing of the new.
1t Is the desire Of Senator Cullom. chair
man of the committee. to have the Senate
dispose of many as possible of the pend
ing treaties. These include not only the
Panama and Cuban treaties but extradition
treaties with Mexico and Guatemala. the
reciprocity treaties and also some others of
minor Importance. 1t is generally believed
that the called session will continue for two
or three weeks.
