CABINET DISCUSSES
PENDING LEGISLATION
(By Associated Press. T,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 27,-To-
Jays Cabinet meeting was comparatively
brief lasting only about an hour. Tho
discussion revolved principally about
pending legislation In Congress. Little
hone is felt among members OF the Cab
met that the Cuban reciprocity and
Panama Canal treaties Will be ratified
by the Senate at the present session, and
each days delay In acting upon them is
increasing the probability of an extra
ordinary session of the Senate.
The President has reiterated his de,
termination to call a special session OF
the Senate In the event of failure OF
either one, or both, Of the treaties. So
far as can be ascertnined, the President
has not determined upon any date for
the opening Of the extra session. II one
should be called, but 1t Is regarded as
likely that It will be practically right
after the close of the present session,
