LUNCH TIME TALK
What the President Says to His
Frisnds During the Noon
COLLATION..
WHEN BE WILL GALL THE SPECIAL
Must Be Done After the Election, and
Why-What He Wants Con.
gress to Do.

Washington, June 23.-"The extra
session of congress will be called right
after the elections in November" said
President Roosevelt to a luncheon
guest the other day. "It would be i'm
possible to get full attendance of
Legislators before the elections and l
want as many to be on hand as pos
sible when the Cuban reciprocity ques-
tion is considered" The president
went on to discuss the questions that
in his opinion will come up in the next
congress. They are Cuban reciprocity,
financial legislation, increase of the
navy and the regular appropriations.
The president said he hoped congress
would cOnfine itself to u few impera-
tive matters and reach adjournment
early next year, so that the decks Will
be clear for the national conventions
and the campaign.

Has His Heart Set ON This.

Regarding Cuban reciprocity, upon
which President Roosevelt has set his
heart, he expressed himself somewhat
1ubiously. The opposition that springs
up in unexpected quarters whenever
the reciprocity question is before con-
gress surprises and puzzles him. To
his mind the duty of entering into
reciprocal trade relations with Cuba
is as plain as the duty of maintain
ing the tariff wall against the world
at large. Express and implied Obliga-
tions affecting the honor of this coun-
try, he believes, are involved. Yet the
opposition is so widespread and comes
from so many different parts of the
country that he cannot take n roseate
view of the fate of Cuban reciprocity
next winter

Wants Financial Legislation.

Financial legislation looking toward
the diminution of the surplus in the
treasury and provision for greater
elasticity in the currency is in the
opinion of the president one of the
most important matters pressing for
settlement. He told his guests that
congress next winter by all means
should grapple with this problem and
solve it. He discussed several phases
of the proposed asset currency legis-
lation, but did not indicate what his
views We're, except that he believes
in conservatism in dealing with the
currency and in procuring beyondque
ton the stability of the fiscal system.

Reduction of the surpIus.

In the matter of financial reform
the president is in accord with the
senate committee on finance, which is
wrestling with the question this sum-
mer. He has had conferences on the
subject with Senators Aldrich, Spoon
er, Allison and Hanna, and their views
and his are substantially the same.
These senators believe that the huge
surplus in the treasury is superfuous
and even dangerous. How to reduce it
by turning it back into commerce and
industry is the question. Doubtless the
easiest part of the problem is the en-
actment of legislation to prevent fur
ther accumulationS. This will be done
by reducing internal revenues, and not
by touching the tariff.

Bremen, May Zone of the fea-
lures of the international anti-alcohol
congress which ended it's sessions was
the statement of DR.. August Forel, n
of the foremost authorities in the
world on brain and nerve diseases,
that neither science nor experience
furnishes evidence to justify calling
alcohol a food. Prof. Forel's state
ments brought much applause.
The present convention has been, In
the matter of attendance and we'll
known persons present, the most re-
markable of any session of the con-
gress. The 1,40O delegates notable
in science and in the service of hui
mainly as university professors or for
their heredity rank have come here
from IS different nations On two hemi-
spheres.
Questions of religion and politics
were wisely ruled out of such a varied
assemblage. The subjects discussed
were the teachings of science concern
ing a moderate use of alcohol and the
effect of it's use on every phase of hui
man progress. Two schools of thought
were representative m~oderates, who
called themselves "the temperate
school," and the total abstainers, who
are called the abstinence school," By
common consent the congress passed
no resolutions, but the applause for
the testimony of science and expert
ence on behalf Of total abstinence
showed the moderates to be in the mi
nority.
Prof. Berens, director Of the Ger
man school of art at Dusseldorf, said
that alcohol, by dulling the spiritual
aspirations essential to the greatest
work is an enemy of the highest at
tainment in art.

Tacoma, Wash, May. GA. local
company proposes to freeze live sal
NOR in blocks of ice, ship them to
New York, and then bring them to
life. 1t is claimed experiments have
demonstrated that freezing of live
fish in this ann is possible. pro-
viding the temperature of the fish is
far below the freezing point and
certain rules are complied with in
resuscitation. Further tests are to
be made this summer on the Alaskan
coast, and, if successful, shipments Of
fish in this manner to Eastern cities
will be commenced next fall.
An expert who has been conducting
experiments in Oregon says that sal

or allowed to get more than IA de-
frees below the freezing point. It is
we'll known that Alaska rivers and
lakes which freeze solid from top to

fish every summer. The fish they
contain are frozen and remain in the
ice during the long winter. This fact
forms the basis Of experiment now be-
