Treaties Should Be Agreed
To at Once.

Washington, Feb. 19.-President Roose-
welt will call an extraordinary session of

unless both the Panama canal and the
Cuban reciprocity treaties are ratified at

rphatically and unequivocally
1t is deemed likely. by officials Of the
administration and by many senators that
both treaties will be ratified before March
4, but the necessity for their early rati-
fication is regarded by the president as
SO urgent that in the event Of the fail
ure of either one or. both at the present
session he will issue Immediately his call
for an extra session.
1t is said that there are grave reasons
of state why both treaties should be rati-
fled as soon as possible. These have in

Illness Not Feigned.
According to dispatches from Hancock.
N. H. Sheriff Dreger, has satisfied himself
that Dr. Ames illness is not feigned and
that it may prevent his being removed
to; Minneapolis Immediately, if at all. While
up to this time the sheriff has expressed
the belief that his prisoner was sham
ming in order to avoid returning. he is
said to have been convinced that Ames
is seriously i'll as the result of an inter-
view yesterday. At the sheriffs instance
DR.. G. p. Conn of Concord, N. H., thor
oughly diagnosed the sick mans case IN
the sheriff's presence. At the conclusion
of the examination the sheriff said Ames
appeared to be in far worse physical con-
dition now than when at Louisville. The
sheriff was SO impressed by the findings
of DR.. Conn that he declared that he
would be unwilling to take the response
bility of removing the prisoner to Min
neapolis. He thinks Ames might die on
the way, and has SO wired the local a1l-
thirities. He has also forwarded the writ
ten diagnosis of DR.. Conn.
1t is said that the honoring of the
requisition will depend largely on advices
from the Minneapolis authorities.
A1nes' physicians are ready to swear
that any attempt to move him now will
imperil his life.

the belief is growing that Ames will pass

SENATE MONKEY WORK
Attempt to Hitch the Statehood
Bill to the Panama Canal
Treaty.

Washington, Feb. 19.-There is a move
ment among some of the friends of the
statehood bill in the senate to couple the
fortunes of that measure with those of
the Panama canal treaty, and make the
ratification of the one depend upon the
passage of the other. The details of the
plan have not come to light fully, but it is
understood that the scheme is to menace
the treaty by delay until an agreement to
vote on the statehood bill can be secured.
None of the statehood supporters will
admit that this is the purpose. but one of
the most prominent on the republican side
admitted that such is the tendency.

IT IS MOVING BETTER
The Freight Situation Clearing
Urgency for Flour in New
York Is Abating.
Enecial to The Journal.

New York, Feb. 1a.-There has been
marked improvement within week in the
arrivals of freight from the west but it
is greater on new through shipments from
the west than on inside tracked freight
that has been lying between Chicago and
New York for weeks. This has caused
easier corn and oats markets while the
urgency for spot flour has abated and
mill agents are now generally able to make
delivery. There is some complaint of ac-
cummulat tons where it was not sold to
arrive, as such sales We're made at lower
prices and are wanted by buyers who have
been buying spot stuff at higher prices
from hand to mouth awaiting the delayed
arrivals. This has eased up the flour sit
uation, though the mills VIII not reduce
prices more than 10 cents on spring pa
tents made last week and buyers will not
anticipate their wants at all. believing
that prices will be lower OH the opening of
navigation.

The Conductors Story
The trolley car could not be stopped

frantic efforts to do so. The conductor of
the trolley car, George Gould said:
