'resident Will Call the Senate Together Then?To Settle Cuban Reciprocity. Washington, D. C., Aug. 12.? Ldvices here indicate that Presiont Roosevelt will call tho Sen te in extraordinary session early a November. Ever since it became evident bat nothing would be accomplishd as to reciprocity with Cuba at lie rocent session of congress, umors of a more or less definite ature have been in circulation hat the president would call an xtra session, either of the entire ongress to enact Cuban reciproity legislation or of the senate to atify if possible a reciprocal treay with Cuba. During the past week' it has en stated that it was the pur? ose of President Roosevelt to all a special session of the sonate s early as September. It can be tated by authority that be has no uch intention. IIis time and bat of many members of the sente of both political parties will e completely occupied during leptember and October. AFTER THE CAlfP A ION. It is understood to be the beief of the president that a session r xL - ? i me senate neui ioi tne purpose f ratifying a reciprocity treaty nth Cuba would be much more ikely to be fruitful ?f results if t is held after the November elecions than if it was hold before, t is assured that tho questions of he relations of the United States vith Cuba will enter largely into he approaching campaign and it i stated that the president feels he Democrats will be likely to iffer less serious opposition to a eciprocity treaty' after the elecion than they would before that ime. A treaty with Cuba pracicaily has been prepared. It re[uires only the finishing touches nd the signatures of Minister Juesuda and Secretary of State ia^ to make it ready for presenation to the senate. No definite date, it is under, tood, has been fixed for the aeeting of the session in Novem. >er, but that it will be soon after he election is ioasonably certain. Che president, it is said, hopes t# lave the reciprocity question ileared away entirely befere the egular session of congress. four American School Teachers Murdered Near Cebu.

Washington, Aug. 12.?The following is the weather bureau weekly summary for crop conditions: Portions of Virginia, the Carolinae, Georgia and Northern Alabama continue to need rain. The principal agricultural districts elsewhere east of the R&cky mountains have experienced very favorable conditions with respect to moisture. The corn crop has experienced another very favorable week, and the general outlook in the principal corn States continues promising. With general absence of rain in Texas aad scattered showers over central portions of the middle and eastern districts, the progress of the cotton crop as a whole has been favorable. Complaints of rust and shedding, however, are quite generally indicated and some premature opening is reported from portions of Georgia and South Carolina. Early cotton is opening rapidly and picking 10 progressing in Texas and in the eastern districts under fayorable coiu ditions.
