THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1899 ' AN EXTRA SESSION | WILL BE FOUND President McKinley Determined to Secure an the Regul Call office, Riggs House, | Washington, Feb. 20. The presence of ny Senators and Republican leaders at the White House to-day lent color to the conjecturs that the subject of a possible extra session Wwds discussed between the President and a number of his advisers. The con- Jecture was turned into fact when sev- eral of the callers admitted that the subject had been touched upon. The BSenators who saw the President dur- ln; the day were: Hanna, Pritchard, Lindsay, Wel gton, Wilson. Deboe. Penrose, Sewall, Allison, Spooner, Platt -of New York and Senator-elect Mec- Comay Senator Hanna has been out of the ¢ity several days and remained some time with the President. As heretofore stated the President has anpounced to more than one of his callers that if a satisfactory bill for reorganization and increase of the army is not passed he will call Co gress in extra session. Senator Ha ley, chairman of the Senate Commit- of the tee on Military Affairs, was one those more recently informed of President’s intentions in this resn Senator Hanna, for instance, admits the possibility of an extra session is a strong one if the opposition to the Hull bill persists in the course outlined.

Senator Hanna would probably welcome an extra session, for then he| could pass his shipping subsidy bill which can hardly get through this Con- gress. There is not the least doubt now that an extra session is a certainty under the conditions which threaten to con- front the President. Every day he is besieged by letters from parents and relatives of volunteer soldiers asking that men be discharged the service. He has had to keep many of these regi-| ments in service ause they could not be spared. h an increased reg- ular army the volunteers can be mus- | tered out and the interests of the coun- try will be protected.

AN ADJOURNMENT TAKEN Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—The Ameri- can-Canadian joint high commission, after a session to-day, adjourned to meet at Quebec, August 2, unless the chairmen of the respective commissions agree upon another date. There were several reasons which prompted the ac- tion taken to-day. From a statement made public with the sanction of the two commissions it appears there were serious differences of opinion between them regarding the important matter of the delimitation of the Alaskan boundary, the Canadians in this connection being anxious to ob- tain a seaport in Lynn canal so that its shippers would not be subjected to the petty annoyances which they asserted they experienced at the hands of United States officfals. Then the time for the | meeting of the Canadian Parllament, at commission from that country is de- sired, is overdue, and the latter are anxious to return as soon as possible. It also became apparent that there was little likelihood of ratification by the United States Senate at the present ses- sion of any treaty which might be framed, which also probably figured in the decision to adjourn. A dozen important questions were re- ferred to the commission for its con- slderation and the commissioners state that substantial progress in the settle- ment and adjustment of many of the questions has been made. Probably those which have given the most seri- ous trouble and proved a stumbling block to a final agreement on all have been the two relating to lumber and the | Alaskan boundary question, on both of which the Canadians have demanded concessions which the Americans felt it would be prejudicial to the best in- terests of the United States to grant. It was felt also that an adjournment for a few months might result in a bet- ter prospect for harmony and a dispo- sition on the part of the Canadians to agree to propositions made to them by the commissioners on this side of the boundary line. Senator Fairbanks, chairman of the American commission, has repeatedly stated that there was no basis for the | reports of a rupture in the relations of the two bodies and to-night supple- mented this by saying that they were on the best of terms. On behalf of their respective commissions Senator Fair- banks, the chairman of the American board, and Sir Wilfrid Laurier, acting chairman in the absence of Lord Her- | schell, who is ill, of the Canadian board, made the following public statement respecting the action taken to-day: The commission adjourned to meet at Quebec August 2 unless the chairmen of the respective committees shall agree upon another date. The commission has made very substantial progress in the set- tlement and adjustment of many of the ?unsuons upon which it has been earnest- v engaged. But it has been unable to agree upon the settlement of the Alaskan boundary. This problem is complicated and difficult, but the commissions, acting in the utmost friendliness and cordiality, have been unable to agree upon a satis- factory adjustment. The difficulties, apart from the immediate delimitation of this boundary by the commission itself, arise from the conditions under which it might be raferred to arbitration. The British commissioners desired that the whole uestion should be referred on terms sim- ilar to those provided in the reference of of the Venezuela boundary line and which by providing an umpire would insure cer- tainty and finality. The United States commissioners, on the other 'Thand, thought the local conditions in Alaska so different that some modifications of the Venezuelan boundary reference should be introduced. They thought the reference should be made to the six eminent jur- ists, three chosen by each of the high contracting parties, without providing for an umpire, they believing that finality | ecured by a majority vote of so chosen. They did not see any present prospect of agreeing to a European umpire to be selected in the manner proposed by the British commis- sioners, while the British commissioners were unwilling to agree to the selection of an American umpire in the manner suggested by the United States commis- sioners. The United States commissioners further contended that stipula- tions should be made reference to arbitration that the existing settle- ments on the tldewaters of the coast should in any result continue to belong to the United State: To this contention the British commissioners refused to agree. It was therefore deemed advisable to ad- journ to a convenient date in order to enable the respective governments to fur- ther consider the subject with respect to | which- no conclusion has yet been re- ported. NEW YQRK, Feb. 20.—An Ottawa, Ont., special to the Herald says: Sir Charles Tupper, leader of the Conserva- tive opposition, who has represented Canada in several negotiations with the United States, notably those of 1888 when the treaty was concluded which was afterward thrown out by the United States Senate, was asked to- | night what he thought of the news from Washington that the labors of the joint high commission had come to naught. He said: No surprise will be felt in Canada at the failure of the present negotiations, | because everybody here is aware that the Government has not_only exhibited com- lete incapacity to deal with such ques- lons and that thelr record was such as to render it vain for a hope to get any fa- | Vorable consideration from the United | States.

You May Have a Sample Bottle of This Great : Discovery Sent Free by Mail. As we are by nature subject to many diseases, the only way to guard against all attacks on our health is to make a study of our own physical self. If a peculiar pain attacks you, try to locate its origin and discover which or- | gan of the body is sick and in need of attention. If the kidneys are at fault—and in al- most every case in the failing of our health they are—look well to their res- toration to health and strength. They are the great filterers of our body, and, consequently, the purity of the blood is entirely dependent on their cleansing powers. If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, the blood becomes impregnat- ed with impurities and a decay of the kidneys soon takes place. If your desire to relieve yourself of water increases and you find it necessary to arise many times during sleeping hours, your kid- neys are sick. As they reach a more un- healthy stage, a scalding and irritation takes place as the water flows, and pain or dull ache in the back makes you mis- erable. remain undisturbed for {wenty-four hours, forms a settling or sediment, or has a cloudy appearance, you are in the grasp of most serious kidney disorder. If neglected now the disease advances until the face looks pale or sallow, puffy or dark circles under the eyes, the feet swell and sometimes the heart acts badly.
