. President Insists Upon Ratification Of
a. Cuban and Canal Treaties.
n Washington, Feb. 20.-President
Roosevelt will call an extraordinary
Eess gon of. the senate of the Fifty
4 9th congress unless both the Pan
a. la canal and the Cuban reciprocity
treaties are ratified at the present
session The president made this
declaration of his intention to several
senators and he made it as emphatic
ally and unequivocally as he was capa-
BILE of making it.
1t is deemed likely by officials of the
administration and many senator's
that both treaties will be ratified be-
fore March d. but the necessity for
I their early ratification is regarded by
the president as so urgent that in the
event of the failure 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 ratified as soon as
/ possible. They have induced the
Spresident to make the announcements
.Ato senators of his determination.

New York, Feb. 20.-Three men
were killed outright, one man so in
jured that he died later, two other
men fatally and at least seven seri-
ously hurt in an explosion in the work
room of the naval storage magazine

The injured: w. H. Van Gurp,
C.J. Muller. Ed Muller, Frank Munden.
All the dead and injured were work
men at the fort.
The explosion could be heard for
miles around. Accounts as to how the
fatal blast was set off differ. One re.
port has it that the men were filling a
thirteen-inch she'll and undertook to
wind fuse connecting the powder
chamber with the percussion cap
This caused sufficient friction to set
off the cap and exploded the she'll.
The work of identifying the dead
and injured was difficult, because OF
the distorted features blackened by
powder burns

Hundreds Killed by Eccent Storm

Guthrie, Okla. Feb. 2o.-A cattle
man who arrived at Weatherford,
Okla, yesterday from Amorilla, says
that many cattle We're killed by the
recent storm. He states that he
counted nearly 100 head lying along
the Choctaw railroad. The cattlemen
in that locality do not put up feed for
the winter, and the cattle were not
in good condition for such severe
weather as they have had there the
past week. Unless the weather turns
warmer and melts the snow so that
the grass will start. the probability
is that many thousand head of cattle
will die for want of feed.
