President Will Reconvene the Senate After March 4. Is Determined to Force Favorable Action Upon the Cuban-+and Colombian® Agree- ments. —- Special Dispatch to The Call. " INGTON, Fel;. 6.—Congress, in all probabilit. satisfa will enact trust legislation to the administration and e necessity for an extra session of both houses. The treaties now before the Senate seem doomed to fallure at this seselon and an extra sesslon of the Senate will be the result. There are three im- portant treaties before the Senate and 1e faflure of either that for reciprocity with Cuba or the one with Columbia for the Panama canal concession will cause the President to call the Senate in extra session immediately after March 4 to take s and consider them. The reciprocity treaty has been before the Senate since the holiday recess and it has been favorably reported from the Committee on Foreign Relations, but the Statehood bill has =0 monopolized the time of the Senate as to prevent its con- sideration In executive session. Indeed, the opposition to the by Southern Demoerats is a part of the Statehood fight. They have used the Statehood bill as 4 means to blockade the way of the treaty and have openly said that the treaty could not be ratified until Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico were | given the privilege of Statehood. | | ORATORY IN PROSPECT. There are several Democrats who are | ready to make long speeches against this | freaty and consume time for the purpose of preventing a vote. Could the State- | hood 'bill be dlsposed of so as to allow several successive executive sessions for its consideration this treaty could be dis- posed of. The vote will be very close, as | the Republicans are liable to lose three of the Pacific Coast Senators—Bard and | Perkins of California and Simon of Ore- gon—while they will gain from the Demo- crats Morgan and Pettus of Alabama, Vest and Cockrell of Missouri, Jones and Berry of Arkansas and perhaps one or two others. Senator Cullom, chairman of the For- eign Relations Committee, will make every effort to obtain consideration and ratification of the treaty at this session rather than take chances of greater hos- tility in the new Senate. MORGAN BLOCKS THE WAY, The canal treaty is delayed simply by Cuban reciprocity ICONS TIGHTEN ~ AROUND YOUNG Prosecutmn Opens Case Against Suspected Murderer. NEW YORK, Feb. 6.—The tweifth juror ! | | | | | was secured to-day in the trial of Wil- liam Hooper Young, charged with the murder of Mrs. Anna Pulitzer on Septem- | | ber 17 last. An alienist employed by the | ; defense sat near Young and prepared evi- { dence which he is to give later on. In his address to the jury Assistant Dis- trict Attorney Clark said in referring to | | the prisoner: “We don't care what his name is, that he is the grandson of | Young. We don’t care if he is a Mor- | mon or not. The religious question has | | nothing to do with the case.” { Counsel then outlined the story of the | disappearance of Mrs. Pulitzer and of the | | finding of her body in the Morris canal, | of its identification by her husband and the evidence upon which it is expected to convict Young. Young looked better to-day, no interest in the proceedings. Most of | the time he sat with his head resting on a table and with his eyes closed. The trunk found in Chicago which contained some of the clothing worn by Mrs. Pu- {litzer at the time of her disappearance was brought into court. At the conclusion of Clark's address the { taking of testimony was begun. Daniel F. Powell, who found the body of Mrs. Pulitzer, related the incidents and described the locality. Other wit- | nesses told of the finding and disposal of the body and identified the weight and strap which had been attached to it. Nellson, the 15-year-old brother of the murdered woman, identified a shirt waist alleged to have been found in the trunk. James R. Lynch, a policeman, testified that he saw a man. assisted-by the bell- boy of the house, carry a trunk from the Clarence apartment-house and load it in a buggy at about 9:20 o'clock on the even- ing of September 17. The trunk, he said, 100! like the ome in court. nes J. Moore, a vouthful employe of stable in Hoboken where the buggy was hired identified Young as the | man who hired it at about 6 p. m. on | September 17. When the Assistant District | Attorney told Young to hold up his head | that the witness might see him Young took no notice of the command, and it was necessary for his lawyers to take him forcibly by the chin and lift his head | from the table. Justice Kerrick will resume the trial Monday. D e e e e e e Y one man—Senator Morgan of Alabama. Morgan has in the last week shown un- mistakable evidence of hostuity toward the Panama canal. He denies that he wishes to defeat the treaty, but he is placing all kinds of obstacles in the way of ratification by proposing amendments asking for investigations and making long arguments on each of these. He can pre- vent ratification during this session by simply preventing a vote. As the time of the session is getting short and work is piling up, with the Statehood bill monop- olizing the attention of the Senate, the probabllities are that this treaty will be left over for an extra session of that body. or | Brigham | but took l | retary of the Navy would go to the insurgents. PREDICTS WAR WITH COLOMBIA Senator Morgan Attacks Our Isthmian Canal Policy. WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—For a time to- day in the Senate it looked as though the question of the construction of an isth- mian canal would be discussed in open session. Morgan spoke on his resolution, introduced yesterday, calling on the Sec- for the | correspon- | dence regarding the militaryj occupation of the bays of Panama and/Colon. He | had not proceeded far, however, when Cullom, who had been following him closely, interrupted him with a motion for an executive session. which Mor; sisted. The chair overruled Morg: jections and the doors were closed. Morgan, continuing his remarks ccutive session, which the Uniied States paid to Colombia When open sesglon was resumed Morgan predicted that if the United States continued policy with reference to the construction of an isthmian canal, war with Colombia | was inevitable. After Kean had spoken a short time in opposition to the Statehood bill the Sen- ate adjourned out of respect to the mem- ory of the late Representative Moody of North Carolina, who died yesterday. Bills were passed as follows: Senate bill amending the R-vised Statutes so as to provide for the detail of retired offi- cers of the army and navy to assist in military instruction in schools. Senate bill Incorporating in the District of Columbia the American Academy of Ronfe, the object of the bill being to es- tablish and maintain an institution to promote the study of the fine arts and to ald and stimulate the education of archi- tects, painters and sculptors and other artists. Senate bill appropriating $350,000 for the construction of lighthouse and fog-signal stations in Alaskan waters, ANARCHIST EXPLAINS WHY HE SHOT AT KING LEOPOLD Says He Wished to Kill Him as He Is the Highest Representative of Society. BRUSSELS, Feb. 6.—The trial of Gen- naro Rubino, the Italian anarchist, on the charge of attempting to assassinate King Leopold November 15, by firing three shots at him while he was returning from the cathedral after attending a Te Deum in memory of the late Queen Henrfette, was opened to-day in the Assize Court. The prisoner bitterly assailed modern so- clety as the cause of all evil, declaring he attempted to take the Mfe of the King only because the latter was the highest representative of soclety. Rubino added that he had intended going to Italy for the purpose of making an attempt on the life of the Italian monarch, but he did not have sufficient funds. During the prison- er's examination it developed that he left the Italian army because his officers per- secuted him. The prosecution included in the indictment a letter from Rubino to a soclalist newspaper published in London Justifying the murder of Senor Canovas del Castillo, the Spanish Premier, and stating that he.
