learned in the years since the found

He said he would hesitate to intro
duce into our government the divices
which would have made it possible for
the tories to have recalled Washing

called Lincoln. He said the initiative

Washington, d. c., Mar. S.-The last
vestige of doubt that there will be an
extraordinary session of congress call
ed by President Taft to consider the
Canadian reciprocity agreement in the
now practically certain event of the
failure of that measure in the present
congress, disappeared Thursday, when
it became known that republican lead
ers had been called Qthe White House
for a conference.
THE die is cast said one of the
republican senators after returning to
the capitol. "Mr Taft has decided
there must be an extra session, if the
reciprocity bill is not passed, and that
he will call it earlier than April a."
Democratic leaders wanted a month
in which to get ready for special ses-
sion, and President Taft was inclined
to accede to their wishes. 1t became
known Thursday, however, that the re-
publicans favored an earlier gather
ing if there was no way to avoid COM
ing back
Mr. Taft will probably be guided by
the wishes of the republicans. 1t was
announced that conference would be
held on the subject probably Monday,
to deicde upon date. March 20 is
suggested as the probable date.
There was feeling of confidence
among friends of the Canadian agree
ment that the democratic house would
pass the bill within a week after the
convening of the special session.
There was an impression also that the
senate would not delay action for more
than month. This theory was based
on the argument that the republican
senate would expedite business SO as
to be ready to adjourn before the dem
ocratic house could submit general
programme for tariff revision, and the
hope that under such a condition Of
affairs the democrats would be willing
TO postpone their tariff revision plans
until next winter, when they would be
better prepared to proceed.
