The President Determined Upon an
 Extra Session.

Washington, Oct. 2.-A good deal of pressure has been brought to bear on the President to induce him not to call Con. Rress in extraordinary session in No- vember, but to all callers who have spoken to him In that vein he has said that this government is committed to the proposition that the Cuban reciprocity be made effective at the earliest possible date and he regards 1t as matter of good faith that this country should keep Its word.
 He has declined, therefore, to consider any proposal looking to the abandonment of the idea of an extraordinary session.

But Deposits In Kansas Banks Have
shown . Large Increase.

Topeka, Mar. 23.-"While only a
small per cent of the bank statements,
under my recent call, have been re-
ceived, enough are in from different
parts of the state to show big in
crease in deposits over the last call
three months ago." said Bank Com
missioner Albaugh. "The state and
private banks under the last call had
about $40, 5000 in deposits. The
deposits will be much greater this
time"
"iIow do you account for it?' he was
asked.

is due to the growth of general bust
ness in the state" said he "The farm
ers have not been unloading much stuff

months. 1 really expected slight
decrease in deposits for that reason. l

BILL ADVOCATES LEASES.
Governor Instructed by Interior
Department Not To Sign.
QUARANTINE BILL IS VETOED.

Guthrie, okla, Mar. Ex-Governor
Ferguson vetoed the quarantine bill
that was passed by the last legislature
His action in killing the measure was
prompted by instructions from the
interior department at Washington
telling him not to sign it. The gov
crnor had expressed himself as being
in favor of signing the bill and gave it
out that he would. The interior de-
partment said that the bill abrogated
leases made by the government in the
Otoe Indian reservation and was
worthless
Henry e. Asp, attorney for the Santa
Fe at Guthi lie, said that the principal
objection to the quarantine bill as
finally agreed upon and passed by the
Oklahoma legislature was that by
throwing an impossible line around
the Otoe and Missouri Indian reserva-
tons it abrogated certain rights uccru-
ing to cattlemen who had contracted
with the government for pasture with
in those reservations, and by reason OF
that fact was clearly unconstitutional.
".rhe Importance Of fair quarantine
legislation to Kansas City can hardly
be estimated" said Mr.. Asp "If the
Matthews bill originally introduced
and passed in the house, throwing
stone wall around all of Oklahoma,
had gone through intact it would have
meant that $4,000 cattle annually
from the southern pastures which now
come here would possibly have been
DETECTED to the ST. Louis market The
original bill was inimicai to the cotton
growers. the oil mills and the cattle
men of Oklahoma, and whatever affects
those interests unfavorably will have II
cognate effect upon Kansas City, which
is the natural market for the terri
tory"

Of THE P|TTSBURG STRIKE.
Enough Men At Work To Prevent
Damage By Delay.
MEN GIVEN ST A DAY BONUS.

Pittsburg, Kans, Mar. 2l.-There is
nothing new in the strike situation at
the Kansas City Southern shops. The
company officials announce that the
shops are running as If no strike was
on and that the men who have been
shipped in are doing the work in the
mechanical department. The machine
department, blacksmith shop and
boiler shop are all in operation and
men have taken the places of nearly all
of the strikers. number of men ar
rived on special train from Kansas
City, swelling the number of import
ed" mechanics who are being cared for
at the shops to nearly 1875.
The train which brought the first
body of imported men in brought 200
cots and bed clothing so that the COM
pany is prepared to accommodate that
many worlsmen. There has been no
trouble from the strikers as the latter
have remained away from the shops
and not attempted to cause any dis
turbance.
The picket line and armed guards are
more for the purpose of preventing the
strikers from talking with the import
ed men and urging them to quit work
than to protect them, as the latter is
considsred unnecessary, no threats
having been made.
Every effort is being made, however,
by the company and the deputies to
prevent the strikers from talking with
the men who are working, and in this
they are successful. The men remain
ON the compal grounds and while
they have liberty to leave the premises
if they desire, they do not do so.
A barber shop has been established
on the grounds and everything that
the men need is provided for them in
the commissary.
The company purchased working
clothing and provided the men with
jumpers and tools. Every inducement
is offered the men to remain on the
grounds at work and the company
claims that they are doing SO.
The contracts which the company
required the imported men to sign pro-
vide that the men shall receive the
scale of wages paid by the company
before the strike was inaugurated and
that at the end of thirty working days
the company shall pay bonus of S.
for each days work

Mr.. Oswald began treatment of

him what the doctors had failed to do
and they cannot understand it.
This is the same remedy that cured

since had an unbroken record of sue
