The democratic membtni of the general assembly held a caucus I-st night in response to a resolution of the democratic members of tbe joint committees on congressional apportionment to de vise a plan that will Insure all ten districts being democratic, but just how much progress wst made Is prob lematical, judging from tbe fact that discussion lasting over an houi resulted tn the question botng ajalu left with the democratic members of these committees to map out a plan as early as possible a report to a caucus to be beld subject to call. It may be trmhfnUy stated that har mony prevailed In tbe caucus, and that In all the views expressed then seemed to be a desire to extend help to any weak democratic district, but all such expressions were modified by the ststcnu nt that they wanted to leave their own districts undisturbed it was pointed out that the eighth was really the only district needing more democratic strength and Repre sentative Turlington luaiated that the best way to provide this strength war to trsnsfcr t'nion county from the seventh to the eighth and Alexander from the eighth to the ninth. This arna opposed by Senator Leinmon, of I'nlon, who declared that auch t move ' would jeopardise both the seventh and eighth, from a demo cratic viewpoint. Numbera of reso lutions and amendment swere offered during the csucut, but none of them tppeared to contain the relief that the eighth Is demanding, there beini a it ring tied to each offer.

E TO CALL If Reciprocity Fails President Is Determined to Act MUST VDTfOiTTHE TREATY President Homewliat Alarmed Over Outlook -Has Been Told of the Plan to Amend the Pact to Death. If They Io He Will Call Congress . in Kxtra Session. Washington, Feb. 23.- Arrange ments are being made by tbe presi dent today to call congress together In extra session soon after March 4. This report came from sources too close to tbe president to admit of doubt .Word came to the white house today that tbe Canadian reci procity wa3 practically hopeless so far as this session is concerned. At no time since the negotiations were completed with tbe Canadian officials haa tho preaidet felt the alarm over the outlook for adoption that be feela today. He was advised during the morning that a program was framed up that would absolutely preclude tbe passage of the reciproc ity bill in tne senate. Tbe plan, according to the presi dent's information) is to amend the treaty to death. This plan will be participated in by insurgent senators led by Senator Cummins, of Iowa. Tbey will, it is reported at tbe white house, offer their amendments one after another, and will demand time to apeak to these amendments, there by consuming all tbe time remaining of tbe session. This information came straight to the president early, yesterday, ac cording to those who talked with blm. He at on cat let It be known that tbe warning of Tin extra session w as given in good faith, and that he would surely bring both bouses of congress back to Washington shortly after adjournment if there It no vote. Somehow the presidents friends said today, tbe Impression bad gone abroad that tbe executive did not mean what he said a day or two ago through Representative McCall, of Maasachusetts, wbtn ba told tbe country that congress must act on the Canadian reciprocity agreement or else come back in extra session. As for the fear of a democratic tariff revision, in the event of atH extra session, tbe president will stand squareiy In this matter upon hit veto power. He. mill tee to it that no tariff measures go through which do not meet his views, and be knows that there will not be enough volcea in congress to override a veto. r. T.
