AN EXTRA SESSION
One of the Senate May Be
Called
TO RATIFY TREATIES
IF QUAY HOLDS UP BUSINESS BY
STATEHOOD BILL.
It is Doomed to Defeat-An Aggressive
Policy by Leaders Of
the Opposition.
} RATIFY TREATIES

If 1t is necessary, in order to beat the
statehood bill, to have special session OF
the Senate after March 4 to rat1fy the Gu
ban reciprocity treaty, the Panama canal
treaty and the Alaska boundary treaty the
republican leaders in the Senate will be pre-
pared to stay here for such a session. The
omnibus statehood bill has been all along
doomed to defeat. The republican leaders
are more determined than ever to prevent
the passage Of that bill.
Prominent republican senators today pre-
dicted a special session of the Senate after
March to act on those treaties.
Basis Of Prediction.
They based that prediction on the assump-
tion that Mr.. Quay would carry his ad-
vocacy Of the statehood bill to the point of
preventing action upon the treaties. Down
in their hearts they do not believe that Sen
ator Quay will have the support Of a suf1-
cient number Of senators to force such a
contingency, but, of course, they cannot go
back of his expressed intention to hold up
the public business until vote Is reached
on his bill, and they now are considering
the alternative course they are to pursue
II he persists in his declared policy, and
can make a go of 1t.
An Aggressive Policy.
A distinct policy Of aggression in the
statehood fight is to be pursued hereafter
by the opponents of the omnibus bill. Re-
publican leaders, such as Senators Aldrich
Hale, Lodge and Spooner, will hereafter
take active participation in parliamentary
proceedings, as we'll as interest in the in
side workings Of the legislative game, and
will give battle to Senator Quay upon every
occasion.
Senator Aldrich gave evidence Of the de-
termination which has been reached by his
action this afternoon in endeavoring to pre-
vent Senator Quay assuming control of the
time Of the Senate before morning business
was concluded or the hour of l o'clock ar
effect and will tomorrow try to convince
the chair that other business may proceed
until 1 o'clock.
This was but small straw to point the
direction Of the legislative wind but it in
dicates the direction in which 1t is blowing
and it will blow gale before it Is over.
The Antitrust Bill.
If Senator Quay should carry his deter
mination to obstruct business to the point
Of opposing en- antitrust bill and could
command following strong enough to en-
able him to do it, the result would be the
calling Of an extra session Of Congress, but
nobody seriously believes Mr.. Quay will do
that or can do 1t.
A special session of the Senate for the
ratification of treaties would be easily
brought about, and as pressure would be
brought to bear for speedy ratification and
getting away, it Is thought Senator Quay
could not long continue his hold-up Of the
Senate.

England and Italy Favor Ac-
cepting Mr.. Bowen's Offer.
POINTS IN DISPUTE
FINAL. ANSWER cANNoT BE Ex-
PECTED BEFORE TOMORROW.
Efforts Of the British Ambassador to
Further Negotiations for Set
tlement Of Trouble.

The powers are yet haggling over the de-
tails of Mr.. Bowen's latest proposition to
them regarding the lifting Of the blockade
and the guaranty he Is prepared to offer in
return. Sir Michael Herbert, the British
ambassador, called early today on Minister
Bowen with inquiries from London regard
ing several points. which. although they
were stated Saturday. seem yet to be in
controversy between London and Berlin.
Both Great Britain and italy, although
they have yet to advise Mr.. Bowen to that
effect, are prepared to accept the terms of
fered by Mr.. Bowen, and they are now
using their efforts to secure the acceptance
Of Germany to Venezuela's terms. In prin-
ciple the Berlin Office is disposed to favor
Mr.. Bowen's proposition pledging so per
cent Of the customs receipts of the ports
of Porto Cabello and La Guaira until the
indemnity is paid. There are several other
questions, however, about which the Ger
mans are not yet satisfied, and 1t was said
today that the final answer can hardly be
expected before tomorrow.
The British Ambassadors Efforts.
1t developed today that Great Britain,
through her ambassador here, Sir Michael
Herbert and by means Of cable exchanges
between London and Berlin. is working hard
to clear up the details of Mr.. Bowen's
terms to the entire satisfaction of Ger
many. When the details Of the diplomatic
exchanges regarding the Venezuelan dis
pute are made public 1t will be found that
Sir Michael Herbert exercised strong per-
sonal influence to secure the acceptance Of
Minister Bowen's proposition. This fact
has been communicated to the President
and to the State Department, and has been
received with marked satisfaction.
Acting in Entire Harmony. -.
British Ambassador Herbert today made
the following statement, with the assent
and hearty Endorsement Of Sfgnor Mayor
des Planches, the Italian ambassador, and
Count A. Won Quadt-Wykradt- -Isny, the
German charge d'affaires:
"a report has appeared in a New York
morning paper to the effect that there has
been friction between the. representatives
of the powers who are conducting the Ven
ezuelan negotiations with Mr. Bowen
There Is not word Of truth In this state
ment. The three Representatives have kept
each other informed from day to day of
everything which has passed between them
and Mr.. Bowen, and have been acting In
perfect harmony since the commencement
of the negotiations

THE DISTRICT BILL.
Consideration Begun by Subcommittee
of Senate Appropriations Committee.

The subcommittee on the District appro-
priation bill met today for the first time In
the room Of the Senate committee on ap-
propriations This committee will probably
be engaged on the bill for about three
days before 1t will have sufficiently ana
lyzed the items Of appropriation to be ready
to call upon District officials for hearing.
1t is expected that more opportunity will
be given by this subcommittee for the
hearing of citizens who may desire to make
statements to it than when the bill was
before the House committee on appropria-
tions In fact. many citizens who represent
associations and individuals who wanted
to present special matters to that commits
tee were not able to have any time at all,
on account of the unusual length of time
taken in the hearing of questions relating
to charities especially and to other mat
ters.

free cigars, free umbrellas, free walk.
