OVERCOME BY SMOKE EXTRA SESSION LIKELY
President Has No Hope That the
Panama and Cuba Treaties Will
Pass Before March 4.

Washington. Feb. 27.-The discussion
at todays cabinet meeting revolved
principally about pending legislation in
congress. Little hope is felt among
members of the cabinet that the Cuban
reciprocity and Panama canal treaties
will be ratified by the senate at the
in acting upon them is increasing the
probability Of an extraordinary session
of the senate. The president has re-
lterated his determination to call a spe-
cial session of the senate in the event
of failure of either one or both of the
treaties. So far as can be ascertained,
the president has not determined on
any date for the opening of the extra
session if one should be called, but it
is regarded SIS likely that Il will be
practically right after the close of the
present session.
1t is hoped by the administration
what is regarded as necessary legisla-
ton for the Philippines may be en-
acted by the congress. In this direc-
ton the president and Secretary Root
earnestly desire that the senate should
confirm the appointment of officers who
have been named for the regular army
establishment.
1t is understood that no action was
taken by the cabinet with respect to the
Panama canal matter. It is regarded
as likely that the government may be
able to conclude some satisfactory ar
rangement with the Panama Canal
company, even if the treaty should go
over for time after the present ses-
sion.

some time He was said to be quite
efficient in his business, a fine tele-
grapher and bookkeeper. The cause
of his downfall was too much woman"
as he himself admits. He was prone
to fall in love with every pretty face
and form he met, and, forgetting form
er VOWS aud former attachments, legal
and otherwise, allowed himself to be-
come entangled in the matrimonial
web about three times too often for his
own good and finally became a fugi-
tive from justice which, in trying 20
escape, caused him to commit the
crime of murder. for which he must
certainly answer TO the law and pay
the penalty It is unfortunate for him
that he did not 1--we in Utah when
