CONGRESS IN NOVEMBER.
Roosevelt Abandons the Plan of octo
Der Session.

Der session.
Oyster Bay.-After mature consid
Grafton and consultation in person and
by mail with members of both the
senate and house of representatives
President Roosevelt has abandoned
suggestion that congress be called in
extraordinary session in October. The
extraordinary session which he an
nounced many months ago would be
held this fall will be called, accord.
ing to present plans, to meet on No
vember 8.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
suggestion of an October session of
congress came from parties who adj
vocated its adoption, the suggestion
was not received with favor by mem
bers of congress generally. The idea
of an October session was opposed
because it would oblige senators and
representatives to leave their states
and districts in the midst of a cam
paign, which to many of them and to
their party was of vital Importance.
No party agreement has as yet been
reached as to the character of the
financial legislation which will be en-
acted at the coming session. 1t is not
certain that an agreement can be
reached between the two branches of
congress whereby any special legisla-
ton can be enacted.

appointment.
The Bogota government appears to
realize the imminent peril of the 18TH
mustof Panama declaring it's indepen-
dence. Senior Sesoux, representative
Of Panama constituency, delivered a
sensational speech in the house.
Among other things he said:
'1n Panama the bishops, governors,
magistrates, military commanders and
their subordinates were and are for
eign to the department 1t seems that
the government, with surprising te-
nacity, wishes to exclude themselves
from all partizans in public affairs. AS
regards international dangers, all can
say is that if these dangers exist they
are due to the conduct of the national
government, which is in the direction
of reaction. If the Colombian govern
ment will not listen to the representa-
lions made with a view TO preventing
disaster, the responsibility will rest
with it alone. Not a native of Pan
anna is obeying the reactionary laws.
The bill dealing with the settlement
of the foreign claims arising out of the
revolution has met with no opposition
in the legislature. 1t seems that con-
gress, after the recent political dis.
cussions, has lost all energy and has
entirely forgotten Panama canal mat
ters.

The object is to prove that owing to
the high price of gas, lively
few of the people of the city care to use
