KANSAS CITY. Mft M THE WEEK AT w WASHINGTON 1 On March 2 tho president issned ft proclamation calling for a special ses sion of tho senate to conveno on March 5. It is expected that this spc-j cial session will proceed to ratify the several-treaties, most important among which are tho Panama and tho Cuban reciprocity treaties. Tho senate met on March 1 and listened to eulogies of four congress men, namely, tho late Peter J. Otey of Virginia, James Moody of North Carolina, John N. W. Rumple of Iowa and Thomas HI Tongue of Oregon. On March 2 it was announced that tho conferees on the sundry civil ap propriation bill have agreed to striko out the senate amendment for the ap propriation of $200,000 for the pay ment of the claims of ex-Queen Lil iuokalani of Hawaii and also tho ap propriation of $350,000 for tho exten sion of the immigrant station at Ellis island. duties will bring important informa tion concerning tho internal disturb ances In China. It is said that be side Sir Liang, tho now minister, there are sixty members In his party, including now charges d'affairs and secretaries for tho Chinese legations in Spain. Peru and Cuba; consuls general for San Francisco and New York, and a consul and vico consul for Honolulu; also a first secretary, Mr. Cheny, to succeed Mr. Shen, who will return to China. Tho ratification by tho senate ot tho Cuban reciprocity treaty seems to bo opposed by the European pow ers, although so far only one protest has been filed at the state depart ment. It is learned that on account of the provision regarding the duty on beet sugar, France and other beet su gar countries of Europe are against tho treaty and this attitude added to the difficulty with the treaty in tho Cuban congress is taken as an indi cation that some trouble will be ex perienced in its ratification. In mwk ivznh The Aldrich . financial bill met its final defeat in tho senate on March 3 when it was supplanted by tho Phil ippine tariff bill, which on that day was discussed at length, but no defi nite action taken. William It. Merriam has resigned his post as director of the census bu reau and will accept the presidency of a morcantilo company of New York city. Ex-Itepresentativo Mercer of Nebraska is being mentioned as his successor. On March 5 a solid gold Invitation was presented to President Roosevelt to attend the Black Hill mining con gress which is to meet at Deadwook and Lead, S. D., next September. The Invitation was Inscribed on a gold plate, three by six inches and an eighth of an inch in thickness, and was presented to the president by Repre sentative Martin of South Dakota. Tho coal striko commission In ses sion at Washington has called for more light on tho situation and repre sentatives of both sides of tho ques tion appeared before the commission on March 6. The main question in doubt was as to the payment of coal mined according to weight or measure and it is believed that as soon as this point is settled an early report of tho findings of the commission will be made.

It was recently announced that at least one point of the protocol made between the European powers and Venezuela in regard to the arbitra tion of the claims against the latter country will have to be changed. This refers to the use of the English lan guage in tho proceedings at The Hague, the powers insisting that the official proceedings of the court be in French. It is thought that Mr. Bow en will not insist upon tho use of the English language in the face of this opposition. The Fifty-seventh congress expired at noon on March 4 by limitation. As before stated the senate will con tinue in special session, but the house of representatives adjourned on that date. A great demonstration occurred when the house closed its session, ow ing to tho fact that the retirement of Mr. Henderson as speaker of the house took place. The bitter partisan feel ing apparent recently prevented the speaker from receiving a unanimous vote of approval. Two important appointments were made by tho president in the depart ment of justice on March 5. These were tho appointment of William A. Day of the District of Columbia to bo assistant attorney general; also Mil ton D. Purdy as assistant attorney general. These place? were created by a recent act of congress. The special session of the Unitcl States senate called by the president met at noon on March 5. The oath was administered to twenty-six senators who take office for six years. Of these fourteen were re-elected. Ten new senators took the oath, these being Fulton, Oregon; Gorman, Maryland; Hey burn, Idaho; Hopkins, Illinois; Latimer, South Carolina; Long, Kan sas; McCreary, Kentucky; Newlands, Nevada; Overman, North Carolina; Smoot, Utah. Ankeny of Washing ton, Clark of Arkansas and Stone of Missouri did not take the oath. The number of bills introduced in the recent session of congress aggre gated 17,500, of which 3,918 were re ported and more than 2,000 passed. The house calendar shows only 78 bills undisposed of, and this is consid ered a remarkable record. It is also said that the' number of private bills passed by this congress have been exceedingly iarge. Fifteen members of the house died during the congress just closed, an unusually large number. iTom Washington comes the in formation that the. new Chinese min ister who is expected to arrive in this country early in April and assume his The president has urged upon this special session the advisability of rati fication of the treaties in course of dis cussion and it has been agreed that this suggestion will be followed. In regard to the treaties it is said that the Cuban treaty, under the extension provided for in the agreement between this country and Cuba, expires at the end of this month. The Panama trea ty, however, will be the first of tho two to be taken up. Under the provisions of the naval appropriation bill recently passed by congress, the number ot midshipmen in the United States navy will bo in creased about 320 for the coming terra. $60,000 is available to defray the ex pense of constructing temporary quar ters at the academy.
