PRESIDENT IS ANXIOUS.
Wants the Panama Treaty and the Cuban Treaty Ratified This Session.

Washington, February 13.-Senator Cul- lom, chairman of the foreign relations committee, had conference with the President today concerning the treaties that are pending in the senate. The anxiety of the President to have both the Panama canal treaty and the Cuban reciprocity treaty ratified soon as pos sible is net concealed While it is not understood that a definite decision has been reached, it can be said not to be i'm probable that in case the senate should fail to act upon those treaties at this session an extraordinary session may be called to consider them.
 According to the best information ob- tainable, it seems likely that an extra session will not be necessary. The belief Is that both of the pending treaties men, toned will be ratified before the close of the present congress.

F. P. & s. w. WRECK.

At 10 o'clock Saturday mcrnng on the Fl Paso & Southwestern a runaway freight train did damage that will cost the company about s7,000 says the Bis bee Miner.
 Engine No. ?. pulling several freight cars. could not hold the train and run onto the dcrailing switch, stopping at the lower end, in bad mix-up.
 At the time of the wreck four freights and one passenger coach were standing on the switch, two of the cars being badly damaged as the result of a former runaway.
 No. 2 crashed into a day passenger coach throwing it from the tracks to the north side of the road.
 The coach now lies on it's side almost a total wreck. Almost every iron is bent and the woodwork badly sprung.
 The most damage was done to a ear of lime. The woodwork of the coach was completely crushed and the lime scattered in all directions
 The tanks of the engine was badly damaged and must be sent to the Douglas shops for repairs; several other cars are damged. Engineer Joe Rice and Fireman Carter both jumped before the crash and escaped with nothing more than a severe shaking up.
 Engineer Rice says that he gained so much momentum in pulling out that the air breaks could not stop the cars on the incline on which the derailing track stands
