Washington. March Alt can be
stated by authority that President Roose-
welt has not definitely made up his
mind to call an extraordinary session
of the Fifty-eighth Congress. He. how
ever. is considering the practicability
of doing so.
When he was informed that 1t was
the intention of the Senate to so amend
the Cuban reciprocity treaty as to rem
der action upon it by the House of Rep
resentatives necessary to make 1t ef-
fective, he informed some members of
the Senate that he would hold himself
free to call an extraordinary session OF
the Congress in order to secure action
on it. No definite time was mentioned
by the President for the melting of the
extraordinary session.
The President is much in earnest In
his desire to have the Cuban treaty rat
flied and make 1t effective. 1t can be

SPECIAL SESSION OF CONGRESS
MAY BE CALLED BY PRESIDENT

said that so strong is this desire. he
even has considered the advisability of
calling the Congress'into extraordinary
session this spring. If the Senate
should permit the Cuban treaty to fall
through lack of quorum. That. how
ever. is a contingency which he consid-
ers improbable.
The belief of the President and of his
advisers is that the Senate will take
definite action on both the Panama ca
nal and Cuban reciprocity treaties at
the present extraordinary session. As
surances to that effect have been re-
ceived from the leaders of the Senate
The President believes. also. it can be
said. that the work of the Senate will
have been accomplished by the last of
next week Further than that the
President holds himself free" to call
an extraordinary session of the Fifty
eighth Congress, nothing has been de-
termined.

Mr.. Yanshara, editor of the japanese
New World of San Francisco. has
rented seventy acres and Mr.. famala-
ka has secured 100 acres. AS far as
possible they will use japanese labor,
but most of the Japanese available Will
rent for themselves. Now that Rocky
Ford is open to his people, Mr.. Hoka-
sono is seeking to open fresh fields FOR
them. To this end he has just closed
an agreement with the manufacturers
of beet sugar at Greeley to furnish
them with 200 japanese laborers. They
will work one year as laborers to show
what they can do. Then they expect to
become renters. Mr. Holasono leaves
Denver Monday for the Pacific coast.
where he expects to find the number OF
Japanese which he has pledged. They
must go to work April 2Oth. None OF
them will be imported.
Mr.. Hokasonos given name in Japa-
nese in Naolchi. He came to America
nine years ago to get an education. By
much labor and study he finished pre-
paratory course and obtained two years
at Stanford. Coming to Colorado
Springs two years ago his ideas were
revolutionized. 1t occurred to him witn
great force that what he needed to be
of use to himself and his people was
not n college education, but an actual.
business experience in this active land.
Ii oking about to see what opportuni-
ties were afforded in Colorado. it
seemed to him that there was nothing
in which his people might better sue
ceed than the growing of the sugar
beet. as they could begin without
amassed fortunes or any considerable
capital He has since devoted his ener-
gies in this work.

 Issued Today.

New Orleans, Sept. 1.-The totals of Secretary Hester's annual report of the cotton crop of the United States wero promulgated today.

Colonel Hester has made his usual investigation into the consumption of the South. and has received reports by mail and telegraph from every mill consuming cotton in the coton-growing States, in cluding woolen mills that have used cot ton, and the results show a total of D. coo, 729, but of this 90.657 were taken from ports and included in port receipts. This shows that the mills of the South have used up 62.75S bales more than during 1901-02. and 379, ,79S more than during 190O- 1901, most remarkable showing in face of recent trade conditions supposed to have been brought about by the abnormal difference between values of the raw ma terial and the manufactured article.

CONDITION OF CRoP.
Weekly Report by the Weather Bureau

6uE9&Us
 Washington, Sept. 1.-The Weather Bureaus weekly summary of crop con- ditions is as follows:
 In the northern districts eastward of the Rocky Mountains the week ending August a1st was abnormally cool, with excessive rainfall except over a few limited areas In the Southern States and over the southern portions of the Central valleys and Middle Atlantic States the temperature averaged about normal and was gersraly favorable for the advancement of crops, although por- tions of the South Atlantic and east gulf districts suffered from excessive heat. Portions of the South Atlantic and Hast Gulf States and of Tennessee. southern Missouri, Arkansas and western Texas are in need of rain.
 More favorable conditions prevailed over the southern portion of the north- ern corn belt where the crop has made good progress. Cutting Is in progress in the southern portions of Kansas and Missouri.
 While there has been some improve ment in the condition of cotton, mainly in portions of the central districts, the crop as a whole has suffered deteriora- ton. rust and shedding being very gen. eral throughout the belt and premature opening in some of the eastern districts, where excessive heat proved unfavorable. In Texas there has been much shedding, and while boil worms are disappearing and the crop is more promising in the northern counties, the boil wevil con- tinues very destructive in the south vast. central and eastern portions. Pick ing is now general throughout the south ern districts of the cotton belt.
 The tobacco crop has suffered some injury from rains in Wisconsin and New York, but elsewhere has experienced no unfavorable conditions, and cutting has progressed satisfactorily. The soil is in fine condition for fall blowing, which is well advanced.

PANAMA IS RESTLESS.
Fires of Revolt Alight on the Isth-
 mus.


 New York. Sept. 1.-Travelers from Panama report the isthmus alight with fires of a new revolution. according to a Times dispatch from San Jose. Costa Rica. The Indians have risen and the late followers of General Benjamin Her rera are mastering into the mountain villages preparatory to joining an organ ized revolt caused by the rejection of the Panama canal treaty.
 Hundreds of stacks of arms confiscated by the Colombian Government at the close of the late revolution, have reap peared from some mysterious source With the arms goes ammunition fresh from factories. showing the movement Is not spasmodic. but carefully planned.
 Travellers from Panama to Puenta Are mas say that in Panama 1t is reported that General Herrera has disappeared from his home near Bogota. and he is presumed to be on his way to the isthmus. If this Is true. Herrera will again assume command of the revolu- tionary forces and cast his lot with the isthmian people, as was his intention had the late revolution terminated in favor of the liberal party.
 General Victoniano Lorenzo. who was banished to Cocoa after the liberal forces lost out last December. has escaped and is presumed to be in the marshes mak- Ing his way back to the isthmus. Lorenzo had TOGO Indians in his following and 1t is believed he will have little difficulty in rallying the old forces If he succeeds in making his way back to San Carlos or to any contiguous point. From Chorrera comes the report that he is in that locality mastering the Indians. At Boujouka Colonel Arcouca is in command of well mobilized forces.

Declare That Roosevelt is Not Worthy of Support If He Keeps the Tuskegee Professor

Boston, Sept. 1.-The Suffrage League of Boston. a negro organization, today adopted resolutions declaring:
 "Inasmuch as Booker T. Washington has glorified the revised constitutions of the South, has minimized the Jim Crow outrage. has attacked the wisdom of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution has deprecated the pri- mary importance of the ballot, has preached to the colored people che doc urine of silent submission to intolerab ble conditions and makes his people a by word and laughing stock before the world, he is not a fit leader for the colored race and no President who recognizes him as A political leader should receive the col ored vote of the North.
 Therefore, since President Roosevelt has given him charge of the appointment of all negroes in whatsoever State in the Union and has made him the negro ad- wiser as to all policies affecting colored Americans in the interests of our race. we call upon President Roosevelt to dis pense with MT.

BULLET AIMED AT THE AIR

Washington. Sept. 1-Chekip Bey, the Turkish Minister. has received from the Minister of Foreign Affairs at Constan- tinople a dispatch giving the Turkish version of the reported attempt on the life of United States vice-Consul Mag elssen at Beirut.
 After declaring that the report of the assassination of Mir. Magelssen was ab- solutely false, the dispatch gives a ver- sion of the affair practically the same as has been told befcre in the dispatches from Turkey. It says the pisetol was fired by a man returning from a marriage fete. that the shot was fired in the air and that 1t happened just as MT. Magels- sen was passing in his carriage. This. the dispatch says, led the Vice-Consul to believe that an attempt had been made against his life.
 The man who did the shooting has been delivered to the authorities. Chekib Bey's dispatch also asserts that order and tranquility prevail at Beirut. The infor- nation contained in the cablegram has been furnished to United States Minister Leischman at Constantinople by the Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs, and to Secretary Hay by the Turkish Minis ter here.

 Mir. Cohen. counsel for Great Britain. proposed that the tribunal adjourn from day to day. Wayne Macveagh. on behalf of Venezuela. replied that in the ab- sence of three arbitrators he could not agree to MT. Cohen's proposition. There upon M. Mouravieff declared that the tribunal was not yet duly constituted and the sitting was unofficial. The French counsel asked that the present discussion should be incorporated in the minutes of the meeting. Mr. Macveagh opposed this application on the same grounds as before. The arbitrators then adjourned the sitting and withdrew. The Venezuelan counsel has handed pro- test to the Secretary of the Tribunal against the delay entailed by the fail- ure on the part of Great Britain and Germany to ask .ne Czar to appoint three arbitrators in time for the opening of the tribuanl.

ENTRANCE INTO NEW ORLEANS.
Franchise Given Louisiana Railway
 and Navigation Co.

New Orleans. Sept. 1.-The City Council tonight granted the Louisiana Railway and Navigation Company entrance into the city. It was given privilege to reach the wharves over the proposed belt tracks which the New Orleans Terminal Com pany Is obligated to build.
 The Louisiana Company is the Red Riv- CT Valley and the measure provides that in case the Terminal or Frisco Company did not build the belt within a year, the Red River Valley should go ahead and construct the tracks. The Frisco fought this hard claiming it had vested right. but the objection was met by the argu- ment that if the Frisco was sincere and built the road. no conflict would result. and If 1t failed in it's obligations. the Red River Valley and the city would be justified in going ahead with the work. The endinance was unanimously adopted.
 Both the Frisco and the Red River Val ley promise to build here without delays and other railroads are expected to soon seek entrance, the city reserving the river tracks for all corners intending to com plete them and provide impartial man agement.
