by large crowds, which wandered nil

through the semi-illuminated streets.

j arch was the center of attraction;
i around Westminster abbey and along

the recent postponement of the corona

EXTRA SESSION LIKELY.
Sennte Mny He (nllrd In November
I to lintlfjr Culuin Treaty.
I WASHINGTON. Aug. 13.-Advlces
received here indicate that President
Roosevelt will call the senate in ex
traordinary session early in November.
j Ever since it became evident that
nothing would be accomplished as to
reciprocity with Culm at the recent
session of congress rumors of a more
or less definite nulure have been In cir
culation that the president would cull
an extra session, either of the entire
congress to enact Cuban reciprocity
legislation or of the senate to ratify,
If possible, a reciprocity treaty with
Cuba.
lmring the past week it has been
stated that it was the purpose of Pres
ident Roosevelt to call a special ses
sion of the senate as early as Septem
ber. It can be stated by authority that
he has no such intention. His time
and that of many members of both po
litical parties will be completely occu
pied during September and October.
It is understood to be the belief of
the president that a session of the sen
ate held for the purpose of ratifying a
reciprocity treaty with Cuba would
be much more likely to be fruitful of
results If it Is heM after the November
elections than if it were held before,

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-There will
be no tie-.il) of the elevated roads. Aft
er a two hours' conference late yester
day between Alfred Skltt, vice presi
dent of the Manhattan Railway com
pany, and the dissatistied engine driv
ers and firemen It was announced that
the company had conceded to the men
n nine hour day, and the men in turn
waived tho demand that a day's run
should not be mow than ninety miles.
After the meeting the men smilingly
declared that It would be Impossible to
make more than eighty-live tulles in
nine hours. They considered their vic
tory complete and said tlmt practically
every demand they had made had beeii
granted.
Mr. Skltt declined to discuss the mat
ter on behalf of the company, but gave
out the following typewritten state
ment: "The matters In dispute were finally
narrowed down to a question of hours
for a day's work and the limit of nine
ty miles per day. The engineers waived
the question of miles, and the compa
ny conceded the nine hour day. The
agreement was signed, and the confer
ence ended."
The questions mentioned by Mr.
Skltt were the principal causes of con
tention. Only the men who have been
operating electric tialns on the Second
and Third avenue lines have been
working ten hours. The engine drivers
have never been required to work ten.
The concession made by the company
is practically a protective measure
looking toward the future.
In the future, when electricity is sub
stituted for steam, tho engine drivers
who become motormen will be assured
that they will be required to work only
nine hours instead of ten. as their fel
low workmen were forced to do on the
Second and Third aveuuo lines.

Petrified Bones Unearthed-
While workmen were excavating for
blue stone near Forest City Saturday
they unearthed the petrified bones of
an animal estimated to have been 16
teet long. Ivme water falling on the
bones had turned them to stone, but
the outlines of the body were pet feet.
Footprints as large around as a half
bushel measure were found. The
teeth were six inches long. The farm
ers of the neighborhood' believe the
bones to be those ot monster species
of horse, but a Scranton geologist is
sure they are those of a mastodon.
