Interesting.

An event of exceptional interest is the future engagement of "The Cli- max" at the opera house. It is said that the instantaneous hit the comedy made at Weber's New York Theatre led to the cancellation of many of the one night stands in which it was booked, to enable the managerIto ac- cept contracts offered in the larger cities. The engagement in this city will be kept, as Manager Becker has an iron-clad contract to this effect.

SENATOR HALL BLOCKS
 NEW JAPANESE TREATY
CIainns lt Would Surrender ccmmsr- eial Advantages Now Enjoyed Over European Nations.

Washington, Feb. 22.-An effort was made to crowd through the senate to- day the new treaty with Japan on the subject of commerce and navigation; but it met, with stubborn resistance from wholly unexpected quarter. Senator Hale said that the treaty rep resented voluntary surrender by the administration of commercial ad- vantage which this country by rights would enjoy for another year over the is negotiating new conlmerciaf re1a- tions
 Senator Lodge Could Not Satisfy the Obieotors.
 Senator Lodge, who reported the treaty from the senate committee on foreign relations, which agreed to report it after it's provisions had been explained by Secretary of State Knox was unable to satisfy the objectors
 An executive session of the senate was convened shortly after five o'clock tonight to consider the new duty
 Why So Much Haste.
 Several senators were curious to know why there was such haste to have the treaty ratified. Although this reason was not stated, the general be- lief was that the administration de- sired action. before western states had time to memOrialize their representa- Gives to oppose it, should the elinnina ton of the immigration clause be deemed obnoxious to the interests of the Pacific slope.
 Some Sharp Debate.
 Some sharp passages are said to have occurred between Messrs. Lodge and Hale, but the debates in execu- tive session are never taken down. Mir. Lodge is said to have charged MT. Hale with advancing .fancied joker'' rather than .'nigger in the woodpile. ? as he called it formerly. for the pur- pose of clouding it. MT. Hale is said to have rather tartly requested MT. Lodge in reply to advance some good reason for this governments giving up advantageous tariff relations a year before they should end. After a lona debate it was. realized that ratification today was impossible and the senate adjourned
 A radically different view of the Japanese treaty is heli by those in the confidence of the state depart ment, who regard the position of Sen atorz Hale as the result of a misap- prehension.

EXTRA SESSION NOW / SEEMS UNAVOIDABLE.
Much More Than Canadian Reciprocity
 Will Be Crowded Into It.

Washington, Feb. 22.-The chaotic condi ions existing tonight in the Unit ca States senate add materially to the probability of an extra session of con gress. In fact, indications began to multiply today so that the senate lead CTS, having become convinced that an extra session is unavoidable, have de- cided ta get into that session a great deal more than the Canadian reciproc-s ity agreement, which really will be the cause for converting the new congress.
 This. is was charged by the advo- cates of reciprocity tonight, will be done to cloud the issue as much as possible and delay the ratification of the agreement by much the same tac- tics that have characterized the pres ent session. Under the guise of fight ing over matters, it is charged, consid- eration of the reciprocity agreement will be continually postponed. Presd dent Taft is said to be doing all he can to bring the republican leaders into line, but he is met with opposition in both wings of the party-regrlars and insurgents.
 The prediction was freely made abont the capitol today that a number of the appropriation bills would fail of pass case, 1t would mean that the supply measures pending in the senate or in conference would be thrown out in en-. tirtey and the making of the new measures would be left to the new democratic house.
 There appears no longer any dispo- sitiOn to question President Taft's sim cerity in his detrmination to call the Sixty-second congress in an extraordi- nary session. The date for the open ing Of the new congress hac been agreed upon tentatively as March 15.
 A number of the insurgent republi- can senators who will retain their seats in the Sixty-second congress met today in the office of Senator CIapp of Minnesota and began the formulation of plan of campaign for the re- mainder of the session. They say they are in favor of an extra session. They base their attitude upon the fact that insufficient time remains between now and March properly to dispose of the many important matters now bending in the sena6e. Incidentally all of these senators who will be in teh next con gress are opposed to the Canadian agreement in it's present form and de- sire to amend it in several important particulars.
