WANTS COUNSEL ON CUBAN MATTERS 9lF Alto t ree Action on Such tlnl- ncii na t'rrsent Srlon Lrsiri Vn fin lulled Snntr Srnntnra Dlapiruve I'lnn. WASHINGTON. Teb 16. The president told serators who cslled upon him today that congress would be called In extra sec tion as soon as the Cuban constitution Is received. The executive has seldom been known to talk so freely with members of congress and other public men on any question he had In contemplation as he now talks with them concerning this Important matter. He has apparently been revolving the subject in bis own mind for the last month, and tor that length of time has talked more or less pointedly with his callers. Senators and representatives have. howtM t. thought until within the last day or two that the extension of the session could be avoided. Even now there are many who refuse to believe that the call will be Issued. Those who have talked with the prerldent In the last day or two are not of this opinion. They say that he announced defi nitely today his determination to ask con gress to come together as soon after the completion of the Cuban constitution as might seem expedient. The only apparen' object of the president Is to have the Cuttan question considered and It Is hit de sire to have congress share the responsi bility of deciding what steps shall be taken with reference to Cuba, regardless of the details of the constitution. He has not as yet Indicated a time when he should expect congress to meet and this he is not expected to do until the Cuban constitu tional convention shall complete Its work. The prediction Is general that In ease an extra session is called it will extend well Into the summer. It Is uot believed that its deliberations could be confined to Cuba, but that the Philippine question, the anti trust bill and the subsidy bill (If that should fall to bo disposed of at the present session) would all come In for a share of attention. Many of the leading republican senators are using their utmost endeavors to avert the call. South Omaha News . g juaii it was reported in municipal circles yes terday that some steps would be taken by the council Monday night to arrange for the disposal of the issue of $70,000 refund ing bonds. Action of some sort Is being urged by the holders of the bonds, as the Interest is long overdue. Just what the council will do is mere conjecture, but it Is probable that some arrangements can be made to float the bonds at a very low pre mium or at par. It is understood that some of the eastern holders of the bonds have threatened to commence suit against the city unless some arrangements are made at once. Possibly the city may be able to borrow the money needed to take up the bonds and pay the Interest, There has been more trouble and delay in the disposal of this issue of bonds than ever known before in municipal circles. The bonds in question matured on No vember 1, 1900, and the council immediately authorized an issue of refunding bonds to replace the maturing funding bonds. Im mediately after the Issue was authorized the bonds were sold for a premium of i00 and a contract with the buyer entered into. Some complaint was made that the issue had been disposed of at private sale and bids wcro called for. At a meeting of the council held on the evening of November 15 quite a number of bidders were present and the premium was run up to $2,400 by C. R, Hannan of Council. Bluffs. Mr. Han nan accepted the bonds subject to the de cision of his attorneys. Histories were fur nished Mr. Hannan by the city clerk on or about December 1 and that was the end of the matter for about two months. Only recently Mr Hannan stated that his at torneys advised him not to accept the bonds, but he came back with another proposition. This was for the council to expend $200 in obtaining the opinion of an other attorney. Mayor Kelly was Inclined to call a special meeting of the council for Saturday noon February 9 to consider this proposition, but as he found that the city officials were not favorable to such action the meeting was not called. In speaking of the predicament the city is now In a well-known bond buyer said last evening: "There really was no ex cuse for Mr, Hannan keeping the histories of the bonds so long. If he had declined the bonds earlier there would have been an opportunity for some other firm to take hold of the matter and look Into the legality of the Issue. As It Is now there Is general complaint among the holders of the bonds on aocount of the delay It Is to be hoped that the council will make The Only Way TO CURE uaimin Cnlest you rid the throat and lungs of all dls- ease-breeding germs, you can never expect to core Catarrh, Consumption, Eronchltli, Asth ma and til respiratory dlfsijes, for these dls eives would cot exist were It not for the animal germs which poison and Inflame the mucous membranes lining the head, throat and lungs, t.
