WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.—Pre veit's call for Congress to assemble in ex- traordinary session on issued to-morrow, immediately after thc regular Cabinet meeting, It will deal with one subject, Ci rec to | consider which the extra session is called. The Presid il point out, as he has done repeatedly in the past, t essity of keeping the nation’s obligations to the island of Cuba by granting reciprocal re- lations in the matter of trade, which will be of great benefit to Cuba and to busi- ness. The President hopes that favorable action will be taken without prolonged discussion and before the opening of the regular session. It is practically settled that only the topic of Cuban reciprocity will come up for consideration in the House, but it is | altogether probable that the commercial | treaty with China will be submitted to the | Senate before the end of the extra ses- sion, | When Cuban reciprocity comes up tarift | arguments by the mi rity party are | probable and representatives of the Amer- ican Protective Tarift League are ik to be again in evidence, opposing the reci- procity scheme. —_———— MANY TEACHERS GRANTED CERTIFICATES BY BOARD | November 9 will be only uban reciprocit | dall is also leader - g % &> Koss . s TR SIS 4 E gman & SOME WELL-KNOWN MEM- BERS OF THE ORPHEUS CLUB OF OAKLAND. + - B AKDLAND, Oct. 19.—The last con- cert of the tenth season of the Orpheus Club will take place Wednesday evening at the Mac. donough Theater, and music lovers on both sides of the bay are mani- sting the most eager interest In the A eplendld programme has been anged, the choruses being especially Mrs. J.
