WASHINGTON. MarcH 1-Preeldenl
Roosevelt has Issued a call for an extra
session of the Senate to convene
March 6.
This action, taken this morning:, fully
confirms the forecast exclusively made
In The Journal several days ago.
President Roosevelt had intimated if
legislation concerning the Panama canal
treaty, the reciprocity treaty with Cuba
and concerning the trusts, was not sat
isfactory to him. he would convene the
Senat. in extra session. He has carried
out his Implied threat and the legislation
demanded by the administration will
probably' be accomplished at the ses-
Biun iiMi mucus iutuui u.
It is known that the reason that the
President has called the extraordinary
session at this time is that he wishes to
Sir. abundant opportunity for newly
elected Senators from the West to
reach Washington.
May Be Unnecessary.
It Is possible that the act of the Pres
ident In calling an extraordinary session
may have an effect on certain Senators
who have been Inclined to filibuster
against what .Is termed administration
legislation. It may be that these Sen
atora will be more Inclined to yield to
the majority In view of the fact that the
President Is likely to accomplish his
purpose in any event.
' It la hinted from a high authority that
In addition to the reciprocity treaty
with Cuba and the Panama Canal meas
ur., the president has In view some antl
trust legislation more vigorous than
anything yet passed by Congress.
At all events the session has been
called and It remains to be seen what
attitude the .recalcitrant Senators will
assume. The entire power of the ad
ministration will be exerted If necessary
to force through the legislation that Is
deemed to be necessary for the welfare
of tha AYAPllHv In tha namntlffn rt 101)1
Roosevelt does not propose. If he can
help It, to allow the Democrats to use
all the anti-trust thunder in the next
campaign. For, that reason he Is very
anxious that his 'ideas on this subject be
expressed In the form of federal stat
utes.
Panama Company Moderate.
... WASHINGTON, ; March 2 Negotia
turns between Attorney-General Knox
and 'William Cromwell, counsel for kthe
Panama Canal Company, are proceeding
today, -for- th purpose -of - reachinf an
agreement that -"will allow this govjrn
ment t. take over the property after
March 4, (he time set for the expiration

Tha company will not attempt to
raise the price over the 140,000,000 stip
ulated, ,.- although Cromwell says tmj
, rights to the' property are much more
Valuable than they were a year ago.

DR.ZANPAID
L S. WILLIAMS
Rather than appear In the cir
cuit Court and fight an allega
tion of gross neglect of a patient
placed under his charge and who
brought suit for 126,000, City
Physician J. C. Zan this morning
compromised with L. S. Williams,

ney for Williams stated that the

proximately $2,000. Dismissal

eral weeks ago. The' original

ber and sustained a severe frac

the part of the physician he be
came a cripple through the lm- .
proper healing . of the wound.

Zan was very negligent.

had ever ben -employed by the
man, but had been temporarily
engaged by the Maryland Cas
ualty Company, after Williams
had been attended ; by another

The Lewis and Clark Fair appropria
tion bill passed the Senate of tha State
of Idaho thlr morning, with but one
vote o gainst It This information is
conveyed .Jn a. telegram from Special
Commissioner Blackinan to Secretary
Reed of the Fair. The bill was passed
under a suspension of the rules. In a
letter also received, this morning, Mr.
Blnckmar. writes that there Is a senti
ment in Idaho fur a much larger appro
priation for the 1906 Fair, and that he
is satisfied that the 1D06 Legixluture will
appropriate 120,000 more for the Lewis
and Clark Fair.
The bill which passed the Senate this
morning provides that $36,000 be appro
priated for both the St. Louis Fair and
the Lewis and Clark Fair; $16,000 to be
expended in 1903, $10,000 n 1904 and
Jlo.CuO in 1906. The former is to pay
the expense of collecting the exhibit
and maintaining It at St. Louis and then
removing to Portland, the latter to be
used In maintaining the exhibit at Port
land and in' returning It to Idaho.
The Fair directors . are very much
elated over the success of Mr. Black-
man's mission. This In the first appro
priation made for the 1905 Fair outside
of the appropriation from the State of
Oregon. ' The action of Idaho will no
doubt hasten the committees which are
out for the other states In reporting.
Some of the directors of the 1906 Falr
who were seen by The Journal express
themselves as highly pleased with Mr.
Llackman's work, as, besides tending to
hasten the other states in their action
in this matter, it will act as a stimulus
for the other directors.
Trans-Mississippi States, All Bight.
Special Commissioner Knapp wires
from Denver that everything is looking
bright for the Lewis and Clark Fair
in the trans-Mlssisslppi States. In this
telegram Mr. Knapp states that the
States of Colorado, South Dakota, Ne
braska, Kansas, Missouri and Minnesota
are all in favor of the Lewis and Clark
Fair. . The committees appointed by tha
States of Colorado, South Dakota and
Nebraska will all report some time this
week on an appropriation for the 1906
Fair. Mr. Knapp has reason to believe
that these reports will be favorable.
Arizona foe tha Pair.
Special Commissioner Freeman, In -a
letter from Phoenix, states that Arizona
will appropriate $26,000 for an exhibit
with the possible addition of another
$8,000. This exhibit will consist mostly
of minerals. It is the ambition of this
territory to excel any mineral display
ever before oh exhibition. The bill for
the appropriation has already been drawn
up and. will probably be pasyed by the
Legislature with a rush.
Money Tor tha Fair.
The stockholders In the Lewis and
Clark Fair are rapidly paying up their
second assessment Although the as
sessment only became due this morning.

Why did Mr. Scott publish the asser

tlon that he had never been a candidate,
that he "had asked no member of the
Legislature to vote for him, nor anyone
else to support him?"
Why did Mr. Scott declare that he had
"done absolutely nothing to bring 'In

Why did Mr, Soott endeavor to nils- "
lead the public and to misrepresent tha

Why did Mr. Scott continue, to sup- -press
the truth until forced to acknowl '
edge It in consequence of the publication
In the columns of The Journal? '
What Mr. Soott Should Kara Said.
In the light of Mr. Scott's confession,
it. seems that the Oregonlan editorial off -February
21 should have been amended!
to read as follows:
"Mr. Scott has been a candidate foM
the position; he has sought it expected .
it and desired It He has asked mem
