EXTRA SESSION CALL
ABOUT TO Be ISSUED
Will Be Promulgated To

PUBLISHED REPORT DENIED
No Ultimatum Sent by Secretary Shaw
to President That He Will Quit
if Tracewell Is Retired.
PUBLISHED REPORT DENIED

President Roosevelt's call for the ex-
ira session of Congress is expected to-
morrow. 1t is the understanding IL will
be promulgated after the Cabinet meet
ing. 1t is regarded as settled that the
message will deal with but one subject,
which is. of course, Cuban reciprocity,
and that the session will be called for
November Q.
Denials were given in Administration
circles today OF the report, published in
Philadelphia paper, that Secretary
Shaw has given en- ultimatum to Presi-
dent Roosevelt to the effect that he is
satisfied with Comptroller Tracewell OF
the Treasury. and that he will quit the
Cabinet If Tracewell is retired.
Shaw Upholds Tracewell.
1t is said the report of Charles J.
Bonaparte and Holmes Conrad, who In
vcstigated the Tulloch charges. reflects
on Mr.. Tracewell. and practically de-
mands his retirement Secretary Shaw
Is said to resent dragging the postal
scandal into the Treasury Department
and TO hold that to admit that the
scandals did involve the Treasury would
be a political mistake.
There is no doubt Secretary Shaw feels
he cannot sanction the suggestion OF
holding the Comptroller responsible for
the integrity of every claim that goes
through his Office. II Is pretty well es-
tabhshed that Mr.. Tracewell has con-
vinced Secretary Shaw that his conduct
OF his Office has been proper, but
whether the Secretary has gone TO the
length of delivering an uitiuatum 70
the President is greatly doubted by
those In close touch with the situation.

Letters Must Come From Secretary.

Mr.. Bixby denied that he or the other
members were disgruntled because the
Secretary Of the Interior has refused
to give out for publication the letters
which the commissioners wrote in de-
fense of their regulations. He said the
letters were for the personal informa-
ton OF the Secretary. but the writer's
were perfectly willing they should be
given 10 the press.
One of the charges against the COM
mission has been that II was delaying
the allotting of the lands In order that
the members might hold sheif jobs as
long az possible. Mr.. Bixby said this
morning the work OF the commission
was delayed by the numerous compli-
cations and arguments inevitably en-

THAT FLOATING DARKROOM.

we assume, as reported by our
weems correspondent last week. that
It is true ga Fredericksburg Judge"
has granted to one Capt. Webb
Smith, of Sharps, a license to keep
IN itinerant bar-room upon the
waters of the Rappahannock. Ger
taihly the fredericksburg Judge"
mast have been ignorant of condi-
tions prevailing pretty generally on
both banks of the lower Rappahan-
mock; and also of the fact that the
judge resident for the major portion
OF this territory had refused to grant
q like application. The matter has
caused wide comment during single
week of information, and it is going
to cause more, with the probability
OF more or less litigation. The
Fredericksburg judge" is undoubt-
eddy in possession of the law and of
its application-if not of the facts
noted above-and we are not pre-
pared to take issue with him on the
legal aspect. But on general princi-
pies we object to licensing floating
or any other kind of bar to touch on
or come within local option territory.
Even if the boat-bar, or bar-boat,
never touched shore in this or the
other counties we have always been
under the impression that jurisdic-
ton OF these counties extended to
the channel of the Rappahannock.

in misdemeanor cases and violation

GROVER CLEVELAND, esquire, the
great Isaak Walton apostle of this
age, comes to the defense of the fab
ing sport who always has q tale to
tell of the "big fish" lost. In Sdtur.
day Ecening Post the ex-President
writes as follows:
1t is perfectly plain that large fish are
more apt to escape than small ones.
Their weight and activity. combined
with the increased thickness and re-
sourcefuluess of age and experience, OF
course, greatly increase their ability to
tear out the hook and enhance the dan
ger that their antics will expose a fatal
weakness in hook, leader, line or rod.
Another presumption which must be
regretfully mentioned arise, from the fact
that in many cases it is the encounter
with large fish which causes such ex-
element and such distraction or peryer-
sion OF judgment as leads the fisherman
to do the wrong thing or fail to do the
right thing at the critical instant.
