Monday, November o. is the date tenta-
| lively set by the President for the assem-
| bling of Congress in extra session for ac-'
tioS by the House on the Cuban treaty
and the discussion OF such other matters
as may be submitted. 1t is not thought
there will be any change in this date in
the Presidents mind about calling ex-
| ira session. He has informed some of his
| callers in the last few days that he in
| tends to assemble Congress in extra ses-
| sion at that time. This will give Congress
| nearly month to work in before The date
for the regular session of that body. The
| first Monday in December, the time fixed
by law for regular sessions to begin, falls
on December this year. BY beginning ON
November . there is believed to be plenty
| of time to dispose Of theS Cuban tariff mat
| ter.
Program of Republican Leaders.
| The program of the republican leaders in
Congress will be, unless there is change in
| their present intentions, TO permit the deA-
| ocrats all the opportunity they desire dur
ing the extra session to discuss the ques-
tons of tariff and reciprocity and kindred
| subjects. After the regular session begins
little opportunity will be allowed and the
| republican leaders and committees Will
work together to prevent the tariff taking
up any time or holding any place of i'm
portance in legislative business. The re-
publican. policy will be to keep the tariff
from attaining a top-notch place from De-
cembel' until the close OF Congress; What"
the policy and attitude VIII be on the tariff
in the presidential election viii depend on
future developments and on the position of
the democrats neXe year.
Senators and representatives regret that
theiTvacation is to be cut i aort by a month,
but hope that the extra session will be
productive of results. The President, of
course. shares this hope. Among the sena-
tors who called the President today
were Mallory of Florida, Culberson OF
Texas and Burrows of Michigan. Senator
Burrows. with big handful of papers
lating to demands of his constituents call I'd
on the President to talk with him about
variety of matters. Senator Mallory had
matter pertaining to the Navy Depart
ment. and accompanied by Secretary
Moody in making his call.
| Il still for Judge Parker Ot. New
York for the democratic nomination next
year said Senator Mallory. The demo-
| Gratis of Florida have not. however. con-
hcentrated upon any one man, although.
= MANY of them likewise faVor Judge Parker.
| The democrats of the country will support
any good man who can unite the party,
and feeling hopeful that they will be
| able to win
I The Florida senators and representatives
have been urging the President to appoint
| ex-senator PascO member of the 18th
| mian canal commission whenever he con-
| SiderS that the time mas arrived SeleCt
the commission Mr.. PaSco was member
| of the commission that still has a nominal
existence. ana of (which admiral Walker is
the chairman.
Chinese Patriots Make Call.
Pres:dentsRoosevelt had a call today from
three fine-looking Cinnamon, who are en-
gagged in work that puts their necks in jeop-
ardy whenever they got to their homes in
China but which, If they lived in any other
country in TIE world than China, would
1 cause them to le"known patriots They
were Prof. Leong Kai Chek vice president
of the Chinese Empire Reform Association;
| Pow Chez. general secretary of the same
| association. formerly a Presbyterian rpt
Sionary at Perth, and c. Zip Ven of Van
, CoUver president of the branch assoGiaton
in Canada. The principal aim of this asso-
citation. which is joe:ns organized in China
| and wherever Cinnamon live, is the estab-
lishment of a constitutional monarchy in
their home country. They do not seek to
remove or displace the emperor They
want him to have more power than he now
has but they want this power to have con-
stitutional limitations So they are pro-
ceeding to educate the Chinese people the
world over to this way of thinking. How
long il will take them to bring fo0.oD.Oc0
Cinnamon around to this idea or enough OF
that number to succeed in carrying out
their plans. does not come to their m nds.
I'VE intend to keep on said Pow Chez.
land If do not succeed now those who
follow US will succeed. We are organizing
|
in the world where we can induce China
men to join us. We have large member
ship among Cinnamon in this country, and
will continue to increase the number. Our
society has been in existence three years.
In China our work has to be done quietly,
but there patriots among us and they
take chances in bringing their work TO an
end
The Next Governor of Minnesota.
Probably the next governor of Minnesota
Minnesota was represented by bunch OF
| statesmen who paid their respects to the
! Pres dent These were Representatives
Bede and Buchanan, e&-Representative
Eddy and Judge Page Morris, the new fed
eral Judge of that state. Judge Morris, who
is a personal friend of all the others,
ferred to Mr.. Eddy as the next governor
of Minnesota" and Mr.. Eddy d d not deny
the insinuation contained in the. words Of
his friend.
Are YOU candidate for the republican
nomination for governor of Minnesota next
year?" Mr. Eddy was asked by represen-
tative of The Star.
Il have not decided" he said. Then,
speaking more lightly. he continued: But
/ am in the hands of my friends. and It's
a mighty poor man who will go back on his
friends You see before you the statesman
ship and ability of Minnesota" waving his
| right hand over the bunch of Minnesotans
..These other fellows represent the states
manship and 1 represent the ability
Mr.. Eddy is generally regarded as tho
|
governor next year He is recognized as
an able man, conservative and thoughtful
He could have remained in Congress indef-
initely, it is stated, but he did not like the
work, and last year declined renomina-
ton, voluntarily retiring after service of
eight years There are three strong candi-
dates for the republican nomination. These
are Mr.. Eddy, Gov Van Zant and r. c.
Dunn, ex-sta:e auditor. The nomination is
said to be practically sure OF going to one
or the other. Gov. Van Zant has served
four years already and his nomination for
| a third term would be unusual Although
/ Gov Van Zant has many admirers the be-
lief is that he can not be nominated next
| year Therefore the chances strongly favor
| Mr.. Eddy.
Pardon for Bank Embezzler.
Judge James e. Boyd Of the western dis
| trict of North Carolina was one of the
| Presidents visitors today. He is a warm
| personal friend OF the President Judgs
