from it. The quarrying of the stone has
already begun, though Mr.. Mills NOM
inally does not take possession until
May 1. At that time he is to pay $1,000
Of the purchase price. He said yester-
day that he already had obtained s6eD
of this amount. and would pay the en-
tire $1,000 before next Saturday.
The proposed building viii be only ons
story high, but will spread out over
seven acres of ground. The first part.
which will be erected this year, viii con-
tain fifty rooms. The plans for tbs

Unless Canal and Reciprocity
Treaties Shall Pass.
APPLIES TO SENATE.
His Declaration Does Not Apply
to the House.
This Legislation Is Said to Be
of Grave Importance.

Executive Session.

Washington, Feb. 19-President
Roosevelt will call an extraordinary
session of the senate of the 58th con
gress, unless both the Panama canal
and the Cuban reciprocity treaties are
ratified at the present session. The
president made this declaration of his
intention TO several senators today and
he made it as emphatically and IN
equivocally as he was capable of max
ing it.
1t is deemed likely by officials Of the
administration and by many senators
that both treaties will be ratified be-
fore March L. but the necessity for
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 ses-
sion. It is said that there are grave
reasons of state why both treaties
should be ratified as soon as possible
These have induced the president to
make the announcement to senators of
his determination.

WHY WAGGENER DID IT.
His Justifable Homicide Bill a Per-
sonal Matter.

Bale Waggener's bill to make justi-
fable homicide to include the killing of
a sIanderer was suggested to him by
State Superintendent William Stryker
l1er declared that the legislature is made
up Of a pack of thieves and that "Wag
gener is the biggest thief in the 1egis-
lature Waggener wrote to Stryker
and demanded an immediate retraction.
Stryker replied that he did not mean to
call Waggener a thief in the literal
sense but that he meant party thief
like Hill and German" This sort of
an explanation did not satisfy Wag
gener and he wrote cut a brief retrac-
ton and sent it to Stryker for his sig
nature. telling him he must sign and
publish it or he lWaggener) would have
him arrested for criminal libel The re
traction was brief but pointed 1t was
worded as follows.
I'm my paper last week I said that
Bale p. Waggener was the biggest thief
in the legislature. In saying 50, I viii
fully and maliciousiy lied"
In addition to this Mr.. Waggener
framed his bill making it lawful to kill
a slanderer. OF course, he does not in
tend to go cunning for Stryker but he
wishes to give slanderers something to
worry about.
Now Waggener is waiting to see
STRIKERS paper this week If it does not
contain the retractiOn he says he will
go before the county attorney here in
Shawnee county and swear out a war

libel and have him brought here for

TRAINS IN SNOWDRIFTS
Rock Island Having Much
Trouble in West.

Santa Fe. Feb. 19-Four Rock Island
passenger trains are snoWbound 20 miles
north of Torrance. on the FL Paso &
elers have gone out from Torrance to
clear the tracks. All the telegraph wires
are down. The weather is clear and
warm at present over the entire terri
tory.
The Rock Island is having a great
deal of trouble with their east bound
trains which in most cases are tied up
In the snow at different points on the
western divisions
The most trouble seems to be west
OF Santa Rosa and on the Ell Paso &
Northeastern railroad.
The Westbound Golden State Limited
which left Topeka on Monday at about
O'Clock was snowbOund at Dano on
Tuesday and did not get through to Ell
Paso until Wednesday morning. The
train was tied UP about "A hours. East
bound trains which should have come
through on Monday are just now get
ting into Santa Rosa. Three days
trains, both east and west have been
delayed and the tracks are still in such
a condition that train can not get
through easily.
This trouble is especially serious to
the Rock Island at this time because
of the heavy California business that
the road is now doing. The colonists'
rates are now on and each train that
goes through is loaded to the guards
All of these heavily loaded trains are
now waiting al Santa Rosa until the
tracks can be cleared of the eastbound
trains.

Will breathe a sigh of relief that the
protocols covering the Venezuela con
troversy have been signed, and that tie
whole vexatious question has been re-
ferred to The Hague tribunal. This
outcome. so far as recognition of Th-
Hague tribunal is concerned, IS most
gratifying, for it should be borne in
mind that what has been ended by yes

blockade. but a war.
The settlement raises many interest
ing questions. which we reserve for FL

the settlement goes. opinion in Wash

government and its representative at
Washington, Sir Michael Herbert. The

strongly for The Hague tribunal. the
presidents refusal to act as arbiter
making such reference the only path
way to peaceful settlement.
What the effect Of the controversy and

held by them. the consequences in the
shape of complications for US may prove
to be anything but blessings.
