Business.

When President Roosevelt was an
nounced. a short time ago, to have
decided on November Il as the date for
the special session of Congress, the
most usual comment was that the
President had surrendered the sub
stance but retained the name.
Congressional leaders wanted no ex-
ira session, and made their view very
plain A session 10 begin November Il
would be of little use, but would carry
out the announced determination OF the
President to-have an extra session
Now, however, news couBes from the
summer capital that any extra session
is unlikely The President does not
care to force it on Congress II Con-
gress is indisposed to accept it good
naturedly.
Since the Presidents address al
Wtlkesoarre. and in view of some de-
velopments about his attitude toward
the Chicago reciprocity conference. the
conservative Congressional leaders,
those who want to stand pat on tariff
and TO suppress all railroad regulation
efforts. have been worrying anew.
Standpatters Worried.
They had congratulated themselves
on practically defeating the President
now he talks as If he had more fight
in him than ever.
His tone toward railroads and trusts
is as determined and insistent as 1t
has ever been; and, naturally, the men
who have been most eager for evidences
that his views were becoming tanner,
are fearful that his late utterances but
foreshadow the message he will send 10

GOVERNMENT BONDS
Considered By State Board In As

Frankfort, KY. May 3.-The state
board of valuation and assessment
has determined that Il would base
the value of the shares of stock OF
national banks for the purpose of
taxation this year or the total
amonnt of the capital stock. surplus
fund and undivided profits after de-
Quoting the value of real estate held
by the bank.
This method does not provide for

that they should be deducted as are
nontaxable securities of the state
banks in arriving at the value of

The assessment of national banl,
shares in the hands OF the bank is
being made this year for the first
time by the board of valuation and
assessment instead of by the local
assessors. The assessment is made ur

SOME A-.,nIENr FROM LONDON.

Paris, May 3.--Ambassador Me-
Cormlck was received by President
Loubet yesterday with that military
pomp which additionally marks an
ambassadors first meeting with the
head of the republic.
The ambassadors party was es-
corted by a squadron of culrassiers,
attracting throngs of sightseers.
Arriving at the palace of the Ely
see a brilliant picture was presented
by long lines of infantry making n
complete circuit OF the palace court.
AS the ambassadorial party drove
within the circle of infantry the band
took up the American national an
them. and the French tri-color was
dipped in salute.
The reception occurred in the salon
Dcs Ambassadors. where President
'Loubet was assisted by Foreign Min
lister Delcasse and number of ON
cials. In presenting his credentials
Mccormick spoke OF the century's
friendship uniting France and the
United States in an alliance more en-
during than that of treaties. He re-
ferred also to the recent closer feel
ing of friendship between France and
the mother country of America. These
feelings of friendship, he said. were
of the greatest benefit to commercial
and pacific interests, which are those
of the progressive world.
President Loubet, replying. said
France had no proudef heritage than
her participation In the work which
brought the powerful American ma
ton into being. More than century's
test had not been able to interrupt
the friendship first established.
As Mccormick withdrew the Amer
lean anthem was again heard and the
party was escorted with military
ceremony back to the American em-
bassy.
