MAY CALL CONGRESS.
Roosevelt Wishes Cuban Reciprocity
Treaty Passed.


It can be stated on authority, says a
Washington correspondent, that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has not made up his mind
definitely to call an extraordinary session
of the Fifty-eighth Congress, but is con-
sidering the practicability Of doing 80,
When he was informed that it was the
Intention of the Senate so to amend the
Cuban reciprocity treaty as to make &C.
ton on it by the House of Representa-
tives necessary, he informed several
members of the Senate that he would
hold himself free to call an extraordinary
session of Congress to secure action for
Cuba. No definite time for the meeting
Of the extraordinary session was men
toned by the President.
Mr.. Roosevelt, the correspondent says,
Is in earnest in his desire to have the
Cuban treaty ratified and made effective.
1t can be said that so strong is this de-
sire that he even has considered the adj
visibility Of calling Congress together
this spring if the Senate should permit
the Cuban treaty to fail through lack Of
quorum. That, however, is a contin-
yency which he considers improbable. The
belief of the President and of his advis-
ars is that the Senate will take definite
action on both the Panama canal and Gu
ban treaties at the present session. AS
surances to this effect have been received
from the leaders of the Senate.

Railroads of America Have Big PLANE
for the Near Future.

for the Near Future.
The railroads of the United States will
this year appropriate for improvements
more money than few years ago was
comprised in the combined capital stock
of existing roads. Nearly $4,000. 900
will be appropriated for betterments.
The amounts of the individual roads will
be as follows: New York Central and
Vanderbilt lines. $30,00000O; Wabash
Railroad, S20.000000: Union Pacific,
$1O,0OO,O0O; Southern Pacific, S1OO0O,-
600; Northern Pacific. $12 100000; At
Gibson, S10,000,O00; St. Louis and San
Francisco, S10,000,0Q0; Rock Island,
$10,000,000; Great Northern, $4,000
900; Missouri Pacific S. coo; North
western, 100000; st. Paul, $3,00O,OOO;
Denver and Rio Grande. 100000;
Southern lines. 100000; Southwestern
lines, S1O,00U,0O0; central States lines,
S0OO0,OO0. 1t is intended to expend
all this money during the present year.
In many cases the improvements plan
ned are so vast that years will elapse
before their completion. It has been es-
tlmated that the plans of the New York
Central terminal changes in New York
City will call for about $50, 100000 Of the
amount stated above. The balance will
be expended on Improvements of various
kinds on the main lines, including the
abolition of grade crossings.
The Wabash will use it's funds to fight
its way to the Atlantic seaboard 1t
has a costly task on its hands in it's at
tempt to get into Pittsburg, and besides
this it has many miles of new construc-
ton to carry out. The attention of the
railroad world is pretty we'll centered en-
Wabash just now, on account of its sea-
board aspirations.
The Frisco is planning expenditures
along lines similar to those of the Wa
bash; that is, its funds will so largely
into new construction. 1t has announc-
ed its intention of securing a footing in
New Orleans, probably through new
line from its present terminus at Mem
phis, and has planned big terminals in
the Crescent City. It will give New Or
leans another through line to Chicago
and st. Louis.
In Canada it is estimated that some
$780, 100000 is to be spent for better
ments to roads and for new construction
by the Grand Trunk. which has planned
a new line to the Pacific coast

LIGHT OF LEssRTY IN RUSSIA,
Gar Issues Most Progressive Decree
Since characterization of Serfs,

Gar Issues Most Progressive Decree
Since Emancipation of Serfs.
Throughout Russia new hope is born
by the Cars decree granting freedom
of religion to all non-orthodox subjects
and establishing in some degree local
self government in all his domains.
Darkest Russia sees through the de-
cree the coming dawn of a new era and
the people are hailing it with great joy.
They consider it one of the most praise
worthy acts their ruler has ever per-
formed. 1t is the most significant act
since the emancipation of the serfs. In
part, the text of the decree reads:
I'm demanding the fultillment Of this,
our will, we have irrevocably decided to
satisfy the needs for which the state has
become ripe, and have deemed it expe-
dent to grant to all of our subjects CT
other than the orthodox religion, and to
all foreign persuasions, freedom Of creed
and worship in accordance with their
rites.
',The efforts of the state credit insti-
tutions and especially the MOBILES and
peasants banks should be directed to
strengthening and developing the well
fare and fundamental pillars Of Russian
village life and that of the local nobility
and peasantry. At the same time means
are to be found to render it easier for
the individual to sever connections with
the community to which he belongs, if
be so desires.
without delay measures must be TAX
en- to release the peasants from the pres
ent burdensome liability of forced labor.
calling upon all our subjects to CO.
operate in strengthening the moral foun-
dations of family, school and public life,
we command our ministers and chief off,
Gals concerned in this matter to submit
to US their views regarding the execution
Of our Intentions"
Although the Jewish faith IS not spe-
officially mentioned in the Cars decree,
It is believed that the liberty granted to
FALL creeds'' is intended to include the
Jews.
Concerning the improvements to take
place in village life, the measure says:
Thorough reform is to be effected in
the provincial government and district
administrations by the local representa-
tives, while attention will be devoted to
securing closer cooperation between the
communal authorities and parochial trus-
tees of the orthodox churches wherever
possible. These principles marked out
by US for the revision Of the laws of the
rural population are, when formulated, to
be referred to the provincial government
councils, so that, with the assistance Of
persons enjoying the public's confidence,
they may be further developed and
adapted to the especial conditions of in
dividual localities"

families are found in the Southern States,
where the average is five persons to 4
family, and the smallest are on the Pa
cifc slope and in the mountains, where
the average is A, which, of course, is
due to the large number of young unmar-

FOE OF BURDICK DIES.
AR. Penne11, Co Correspondent in Buffalo
Divorce Case, Is Killed.

Divorce Case, Is Killed.
Arthur r. Pennell of Buffalo, N. T.,
who figured in the Edwin L. Burdick
murder case as correspondent in the d.
vorcs suit brought by Burdick against
his wife, was killed Tuesday night by
daahing over steep precipice in an au-
tomobile. His wife, who accompanied
him, was fatally injured and died the
following day.
In police and other circles interested
IN the Burditk case it is believed that
Pennell deliberately committed suicide
and intended to kill both his wife and
himself because he had been suspected
of knowing who murdered Burdick.
Pen1fell and his wife at about O'Clock
were speeding in the automobile along
Kensington avenue when they neared an
old stone quarry that IS close to the
street. The quarry is about thirty feet
deep and has a bottom of loose, Jagged
stone.
The machine was running at remarka-
bly, fast speed and when near the quarry
suddenly swerved from the road and
dashed over the precipice, hurting Pen
nell to instant death on the rocks below
and inficting mortal wounds on Mrs.
Pennell.
Mr.. PenneI carried 5000, insur-
ance on his life, all Of WHICH, it is said,
was made over to his wife, who chung
to him through all his troubles, forgav&
him time and again for his alleged indis-
cretions with Mrs. Burdick and other
women, and had promised, even after his
name had been dragged through the scan
dalous mire of the Burdick investigation,
to stick to him.
The devotion of Mrs. Pencil was the
subject of much comment. She is a mem
Der of a well-known Buffalo family and
recently came into possession Of $780,
O0O Mr. PenneL was a lawyer, but had
small practice, to which he paid little
attention.
