EXTRA SESSION.
President Tells Senators They Must
Ratify Treaties or Meet
Again.

Washington, Feb. 81. - President
Roosevelt will call an extra session of
the Fifty-eighth congress unless both
the Panama and Cuban treaties are rat
flied at the present session.
The president made this declaration
OF his intention to several senator's dur
ing the day, and he made it as emphat-
ically and unequivocally as he was ca
pable of making it.
1t 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 is regarded by the
president as SO urgent that in the event
of the failure of either at the present
session he will issue Immediately his
call for an extra session.
1t is said that there are grave reasons
of state why both treaties should be rat
flied as soon as possible. These have
induced the pre- sident to make the an
nouncement to senators of his deter
mination.

MUST Be REFORMED.
Powers Present Emphatic Joint
Note to the Sultan-Ger.
many Included.

Paris, Feb. 2l.-The Russian foreign
minister, Count Lamsdorf, has commu-
nicated to the French government the
fact that Russia had received the last
of the adherences OF the European pow
ers to the joint note to Turkey ON the
subject of reforms, thus making the &C.
ton of the powers unanimous. He &C.
cordingly directed M. Zinovief, the
Russian ambassador at Constantinople,
to proceed with Baron Won Calico, the
Austrian ambassador, to the Sultan ard
present the note at once. 1t was at
first intended to present the Austrian
note first, but this was reconsidered in
order to give added force to the Joint
personal presentation.
1t was also desired to secure the full
adherence of Germany, which was some-
what conditional at first. The unani-
nous action decided on includes that OF
Germany.
The note as family framed strikes out
all reference to Macedonia, as it was
considered that the designation of one
part of the country by name would in
crease the anti-foreign agitation which
the powers are seeking to check.
The note is generalized 50 as to cover
all the localities where Christians re-
side, the only locality specified being
three villages in Northern Turkey in
which most of the Christians live.
The protection of the lives and the
safeguarding of the interests of the
Christians form the chief features OF
the note.

ed to Hold On Grade.

Newark, N. j., Feb. 21.-A fast ex-
press on the Lackawana railroad cut
through trolley car crowded with
school children at the Clifton avenue
crossing. Eight of the children were
killed and score or more of others
injured. The motorman, who stuck
to his post, will die, and the engineer
of the express was SO badly injured that
there is little hope for his recovery.
Both the express and the trolley were
OIL steep grades going at right angles.
The express was signalled and the cross
ings were lowered while the trolley car
was yet half way down the hill. The
motorman shut off the power and APP
piled the brakes, but almost immedi-
ately the car began to slip along the
icy rails. 1t gained tremendous mo.
mentum and at the hollow of the hill
crashed through the gates directly in
the track of the coming train. The
locomotive plowed it's way through the
trolley, throwing the children in every
direction.
The accident happened within three
blocks of the high school building and
in the car at the time were nearly 100
pupils. AS many as thirty others had
managed to throw themselves from the
car before the carsh came. The trolley
wac one of the specials which every day
bring the children to and from school.
1t had mere than it's ordinary load ow-
ing to the cold weather. 1t contained
every child that could squeeze inside
and others stood on the rear platform.
Besides, the car had been SO crowded
that many who were waiting for it be-
fore the hill was reached could not get
on, although some climbed on the front
platform with the motorman. A score
or more of children were compelled to
walk and they followed the car afoot.

Remarkable Movement Of British
Farmers to Canada.

London, Feb. 81 1.-The Rev. Barrie's
immigration project has reached such
proportions that he has asked the Do
minion government to secure forty adj
ditional townships tor the British col
ony, and offers to pay the entry fees
for the colonists at once, and locate
them within six months. He has Sc
cured strong financial support, having
on deposit 50, 500, 900 at his immediate
disposal. The request will involve a
concession of more than 2 600, 900
acres. The force OF the example of the
American farmers who have crossed the
frontier into the Northwest Territory
has been decisive. 1t has directed to
Canada from Great Britain a most re-
mar kable emigration movement at a
time when South African mine owners
are powerless to attract workmen, and
Rhodesia remains a land of undevel-
oped resources.

NAVAL BILL PASSED.
Three New Battleships and ArmOred
Cruiser AuthOriZed.

Three New Battleships and Armored
Cruiser Authorized.
Washington, Feb. PLAT the end of
a protracted session of the house the
naval appropriation bill was passed.
A great many amendments were offered
to the provisions relating to the in.
crease OF the personnel, and the author.
izatiOn of new ships to be built. The
most important am 4ndment offered
was one to authorize the secretary OF
the navy, in his discretion, to purchase
or contract for submarine torpedo boats,
after investigation of their merits, and
appropriate $500, 900 for that purpose.
The amendment was in the language of
bill introduced by Mr.. Hill, OF Con-
necticut, and it was stated on the floor
that it had the support of all the mem
bers of the naval committee 1t was
adopted practically without debate.
The words authorizing the construction
of the new ships "by contract were
stricken out.
AS passed the bill provides for three
new battlsehips and an armored cruiser,
two steel training ships and one wooden
brig for training purposes, in addition
to ten submarines discretionary author
lied.
The increase in the personnel of the
navy went through as reported by the
committee, an effort to limit the in
crease to two midshipmen to each SEN
ator and representative to the period
between now and 1911 having been
voted down.
