ture from Butler county in 1865 and
went to TOneka to be sworn in he as
tonished not only the natives, but ev.
erybody else, as he was the most gor-

had ever produced. He was very dark,
with long black hair. On his head was
q coonskin cap, the tail OF the coonskin
hanging gracefully down his back. His
coat was made Of wolfskins nicely tan.

handsome tails hung from his coat tails
and tapped in the breeze as he mean

somely fringed; top boots, gloves made
of beaver skin, a watch chain lone In
beadwork, Il flannel shirt with Il tiam-
ing red bandanna pocket handkerchief
around his neck. n 1t Is needless 10

EXTRA SESSION IF TREATIES FAIL.
The President Emphatically Repeats His
Determination.

Washington Fec. 19.-President Roosevelt
will call extraordinary session Of the Sen
ATE Of the LNIIIth Congress unless both the
Panama Canal and the Cuban Reciprocity trea
ties are ratified at he present session. The
President made this declaration of his intention
to several Senators to-day. and made it en-
phatically and unequivocally as possible.
II is thought likely by officials of the admin
istration and by many Senators that both trea-
ties viii be ratified before March I. but the
necessity for early ratification is regarded by
the President urgent that in the event of
the failure Of one or both at the present ses-
sion he will Immediately issue his call for an
extra session.
It is said that there are grave reasons of
state why both treaties should be ratified as
soon as possible These have induced the Pres
ldent to make the announcement Of his deter
mination.

Philippine and F07CIey Bills to Come
Up IO-day
lev TELEGRAPH TO THE rRrRrxr.1

Washington. Feb 1.-Two financial assures
will undoubtedly contend for the attention Of
the House Tomorrow The Philippine Currency
bill is 10 be acted the morning by the
Insular Affairs Committee. and will be presented
as a matter for conference between the two
houses by Chairman Cooper. The Fowler bill
under the special rule adopted in the House last
week. will be put forward for consideration as
soon as the Fortihcations Appropriation bill has
been disposed ola task that is not likely to
consume mora than an hour. The conference
report OF the Legislative. Executive and
Judicial Appropriation bill is ready for the
action Of the House, however. and Representa-
tive Overstreet may present the long delayed
conference report on the Anti-Anarchv bill.
matter which has not been heard Of since last
session. If pressed. these reports will take pre-
cedence over the Fowler bill
With all Of this business staring the House in
the face. il is doubtful if the Fowler bill can be
taken up The matter OF sending the Philippine
Currency bill to conference. however, will
doubtedIy be considered. A conference Of the
Republican members Of the Insular Affairs Com
mittee was held to-day, and the bill as it passed
the Senate considered. The Patterson amend
ment, providing for an international commission
in line with the diplomatic notes of China and
Mexico submitted to Congress by the President
some weeks ago met with some objection on the
part Of members Of the committee. There were
also number Of provisions of the Senate bill
with which some fault was found. The commit
tee discussed the various ways in which the
matter could be dealt with. The most expeditions
seemed to be TO ask the House to agree TO the
main provisions of the Senate bill. which pro-
vides for special coinage for the PhfIippine
Islands based on tito of 30 TO l. and sub
stantially the same in principle as the majority
bill of the House committee, which was voted
down in the House by union of the Democratic
members with twenty-eight Republicans In
roads have since been made in the ranks of the
insurgents. it is said. and there ara strong
hopes Of getting the Senate or administration
meas sure adopted. Just what will become Of the
International conference proposition is not GER
tain. There does not seem to be objection TO
the idea much to the exact provision con-
tanned in the Patterson amendment.
Mr.. Fowler, chairman of the banking and
Currency Committee, remained in his seat
throughout the long session to-day, in the hope
of getting his bill for rubber currency be
fore the House. He said tonight that he be
Ieved this would be accomplished tomorrow.
Mr. Fowler will make the first speech the
measure. Mr.. Hill, of Connecticut. is scheduled
for currency address, while the authors of the
several minority bills this subject including
Representatives Pugsley and Padgett, will also
be heard from
