military demons tration in Iii province,

Washington, Feb. 1s.-An extra ses-

to see how the senate can reach a

bills, are measures affecting the fol-
lowing subjects: Popular election OF
senator's, Senator Lorimer case, per-
manent tariff board. general age PEN

and fortihcation of the Panama canal.
Not one of these measure can be
sidetracked without a contest Back

senator's insistent that vote shall
be taken before adjournment. Some
II the measures must be left unpassed
or the Canadian agreement will die.
There Is not time enough left for all.
The foregoing is the opinion of re-
publican leaders Of the senate. Several
senator's whose knowledge of the leg

expressed views IN accord with the
outline given when they were asked
today for a statement as to what
might be expected in connection with

The retirement Of those senators,
whose terms expire will mark quite
