CONGRESS-
CONYENES
IN EXTRAORDINARY SESSION AC-
coRDING TO THE CALL ISSUED
BY THE PRESIDENT.
Organization and Reading of Presidents
Message Occupy the Attention of
Both Bodies.-Bitter Fight May
Develop on Cuban Measure.

Washington, d. C., Nov. 0.-The Unit.
ed States congress met at noon today
in extraordinary session to consider tht
Cuban reciprocity measure, according tc
the call issued by the president.
The day was devoted to organization
and reading the presidents message OF
1900 words.
The outlook for Cuban reciprocity is
not bright while the prospects for gen
eral discussion of the tariff are excel.
lent. The Cuban question will probably
come up in the house in the form of a
bill instead of resolution. While great
opposition will be developed the meas.
IRE can be put through the house where
debate is limited. In the senate, where
debate is unlimited, Senators McEnry
and Foster of Louisiana and Colorado
and other opponents of C,tban reciproc.
ity threaten to oppose the measure to the
end. A large number of Republican
senators appear Indifferent.
1t has been pretty thoroughly deter
mined that there is to be no comprehen-
sive currency legislation this winter.
When the new canal treaty granting
the right of way through the republic
Df Panama is presented to the senate for
ratification. Roosevelt will have a new
report on the Panama route to submit.
The president has Just sent Admiral
John G. Walker, chairman of the 18th,
milan Canal Commission, on the May
flower with Rear Admiral Coghlan to
prepare such report.
NJ. Bruenna Yarilla, who has been
designated to represent the Republic OF
Panama here, will present his credentials
at the first opportunity, but will not
negotiate a new treaty. This commits.
sion, which will sail from Colon Tues
day. The new treaty will be more ad.
vantageous to the United States than
the Hay -Herran treaty. 1t will give this
government either lease in perpetIity
or a cession of the canal zone; also full
jurisdiction over the zone, both as re-
CARDS the government and sanitation.
-Four islands in the Bay of Panama will
be given to the United States. The
monetary consideration will remain the
same as the old treaty, at ten millions
cash and an annuity of $250,0O0. 1t is
understood that convention will be
assembled at Panama Tuesday or We'd
nesday. The constitution is said to have
already been drawn. 1t gives the presi.
dent full authority to negotiate the ca
nal treaty.
There was very little business trans
acted when congress convened in extra
session today. In the senate commit,
tees were appointed to Join with a simi,
lar committee from the house to wait
upon the president and inform him that
congress had assembled in accordance
with his wishes. There followed re-
cess and lated adjournment for the day
after which the committee on commit,
tees assembled to fll vacancies in the
committee on finance.

ganizing and seat drawing.

closed by the filing for probate of the

retired 3 years ago and died, Sunday.
The will astonished even his most in
innate friends, for it showed that he
had amassed a fortune valued at one

arises from the fact that bequest Is
made TO Prof. Dubois daughter. Not
even the schoolmaster's intimate
friends, and his confidents We're few,
knew he had been married and the
testator, in naming the daughter. used
only her given name because he did
not know to whom she had been mar
ried
Investigation shows that the profess
sor separated from his wife nearly SO
years ago. She went away, taking
their little girl. and neither the hus-
band not his relatives ever heard from
them again.. They are supposed to be
still alive and in this country but
where no one knows.
The professors relatives refuse to
give any information regarding the af-
fair long buried in the past, but ut Is
said the wife was a member of a we'll
known family here.
Professor Dubois was the son Of a
minister. His wealth Is supposed to
have been accumulated through
shrewd investments Of his savings as
4 teacher. For more than IL years he
lived in a small room preparing part OF
his own meals and declared he spent
only dollar or so daily, while his
income grew until 1t reached the sum
Of $4,000 a year.

Secretary Root was asked especially
about the charge which Maj. Rathbone
had made that Gen. Wood had iniluenc-
ed the courts in the prosecution of
Rathbone, and had tempered with the
courts. The secretary explained at
length the court system in Cuba, say
ing that the court of first instance was
in reality an officer directed to prose-
cute and to obtain evidence. He was
something ike a grand jury in finding
evidence, but was further empowered
to so out and obtain evidence, minglS
with the people, procure affidavits and
otherwise to collect evidence against
alleged offenders. The secretary said
he knew what Gen. Wood was doing in
this matter, and approved it. Thre
secretary said that in fact he directed
that the prosecution of the offenders
be vigorous and Gen. Wood was acting
in this matter under orders from the
war department.
The secretary also took up the sub

of skill. lie said that the concession
or right of the Jai Alai Co. was grant
ed before the American occupation and
that the concession for which Gen.
Wood had been criticized was that of
an addition to the building of the COM
pany. The only question in regard to
this grant was whether or not it would
be contrary to the Foraker amendment.
The whole matter was referred 70 the
var department by Gen. Wood The
subject was first considered by Judge
Magoon, law officer of the bureau of
insular affairs, who after q most care
full review of the case, had held that
the extension did not come within the
Foraker amendment preventing the
granting of franchises in Cuba. The
secretary said he reviewed Judge Ma
goon's opinion and came to the same
conclusion. The authority granted to
the company was then approved by
the war department, so that Gen. Wood
in this mater acted under the instruc-
lions and with the approval of the war
department.

18Th CONGRESS.
Senate, 81 to 10, Passes Cuban
Reciprocity Bill.
Democratic Senators Notify RepubIi-
cans Of Coming Opposition.
Holiday Recess Will Extend from Dec.
10 to Jan. 4.

Washington, Dec. 1G.-By a decisive
vote Of 81 to IS, the Senate, today, pass
ed the bill carrying into effect the re-
ciprocity treaty with Cuba. The final
vate came at the close of Il day, which
was marked by q debate which while
at all times animated was never
acrimonious. The principal speeches
were made by Mr.. Spooner for the bill
and by Bailey against it. Both sena-
tors were subjected to frequent inter-
ruptions.
In his remarks, Bailey referred to the
recent agreement of the Democratic
caucus to stand solidly on party ques-
lions, and warned the Republicans that
struggling Democratic votes in support
of Republican party measures regard
less OF whether they We're or were not
in accord with Democratic doctrines.
The bill passed carries into execution
the treaty between the United States
and Cuba which was ratified, last
March. The treaty provides for a re-
duction of 20 per cent. from the rates
of duty under the Dingley law on all
Cuban articles imported into the
United States and a varying reduction
of from 20 to 40 per cent. from the
established Cuban duty on articles i'm
ported into Cuba from the United
States.
After the passage of the Cuban bill
the Senate adopted the House resolu-
ticn providing for holiday recess from

FOR CONFIRMATION.
Senate Committee Stands 8
to 2 for Gen. Wood.
Ably Defended by Sec. Root, Who
Takes Witness Stand.
Shown That He Is Not Guilty of
Enemies Charges.

Washington, Dec. 16.-The Senate
committee on military affairs, tonight,
concluded its investigation of charges
against Gen. Leonard Wood, filed for
the purpose of preventing his confirms
alton as major general. Secretary Root
was the only witness, today. He was
on the stand for two and q half hours
at the forenoon session and occupied
the attention of the committee, to-
night, from o'clock until 11.3O. The
committee will meet, tomorrow. to pre-
pare its report. 1t is understood that
confirmation will be recommended by
a vote of s to 2. A minority report
will be made by the opposition MEM
bers of the committee.
The testimony of Secretary Root is
practically the only defence that has
been made Of Gen. Wood in the hear
ing which has extended from about
the beginning of the extra ordinary SEES
sion of Congress. This testimony
however, covered the entire range OF
the evidence produced against Gen
Wood and was supported i'm many in
stances with correspondence and other
data taken from records at the war
Woods administration as governor OF
Cuba. Secretary Root undertook to
assume the whole responsibility for
orders issued by Gen. Wood affecting
the judicial system in Cuba and con-
corning the concession granted to the
Jai Alai Co. at Havana. He justified
the acceptance by Gen. Wood of the
present of a silver set from the Jai
Alai Co.
At the forenoon session of the commit
tee, Sec. Root was given every latitude
in telling his story of the affairs in the
island and refuting the charges that had
been made by number Of witnesses, but
at the evening session questions were
asked by Senator Teller which confined
the secretary to the Runcie letter, the
Jai Alai concession, the Rathbone trial,
Gen. Woods friendship for Bellairs and
the question of seniority as a means of
recognizing military service. Many of the
questions were pointed and in some cases
severe upon Gen. Wood. but in every case
Gen. Wood found warm defender.
