April Fourth the Date Set as

Conference.
SITUATION IN SENATE
CONSIDERED HOPELESS
RumOr That Senator Aldrich Is
TO Return From the South
Not Believed.
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Feb. $50 prob
able is it that an extra session of con
gress will be necessary TO get acton
on the Canadian reciprocity agreement
that President Taft has fixed April 4
AS the date on which such "A session
NAV be called.
Tho date was selected after consul
tation with Champ Clark, who viii he
spcaker of the next house, and Repre-
sentative Underwood of Alabama, who
will be chairman of tho ways and
means committee, which Will have
charge of and report the reciprocity
bill in the house.
The president had intended to con
venc the extra session at an earlier
date. but Representatives, Clark and
Underwood told him they desired a
month s time after the present con.
grcss adjourns IN which to map out
Democratic plans for the next session.
Situation in Senate.
There was no change in the stua
tion in the senate today regarding the
Canadian reciprocity agreement, ana
the leaders see no hope of bringing
the Mccall bill TO vote at this session,
Many rumors were circulated of moves
TO remedy the situation, but apparently
they were without foundation.
The most persistent one was that
Senator Aldrich, famed for winning
legislative battles which his colleagues
thought lost. is speeding TO Washing,
ton at the solicitation of President Tart
10 take charge of the situation in the
senate.
The Aldrlch rumor apparently was a
distortion of telegram which tue sen
ator sent from Jekyl island, Georgia,
where he has been for several weeks
in search of health, saying that if he
were here he would vote for the Cana
dian agreement,
The telegram was to one OF the SEN
ate leaders, asking that a pair be ar
ranged for him IN favor of the Mccall
bill, If il comes to a vote this session.
The fact that such q telegram was
received was whispered about the sen
ate and created some surprise, as many
standpat senators had believed Senator
Aldricb, ike Senator Hale of Maine,
would oppose the reciprocity agree
ment.
Report Gave Rise to Rumors.
Many correspondents sent reports to
their papers, some saying Senator Aid
rich would be in Washington Monday
and others that he left Brunswick, Ga,
early today and would reach here Sun
