__VoL. LiN—NO. 24 NOT ALL SM OTH SAILING Direful Prophecies Carried to the White House by Members of Congress CANADA RECIPROCITY AGREEMENT Even if the House Accepts Terms of Agreement They Would Be Turned Down by the Senate—It is Said |G the President Would Call Extra Session in Order to Carry Out His Programme. Washington, Jan. 27.—Snags oegan > loom up in the pathway of the anadian reciprocity agreement before bad been in the hands of congress renty-ous houre, and confident pre ctions of its failure were made free- by the pillars of the protective aith. It was said that even should th. house accept the tarms of the arrange- ments (which the republican high tarift advocates did not concede for & mo- ment), it could not pass the senate. Prophets Visit the President. These direful prophecies were car- ried to the White House today by memsbers who visited the president os- tensibly on ether business but instead of their creating a pessimistic faeling there, Mr. Taft, it is said, received them with smiles which indicated that one defeat would not turn him from his_purpose. If his own party, before surrender- ing control of the house of representa- tives, faills to seiez the opportunity end do credit of putting into opera- tion this reciprocal trade pact, the president, it is believed, will not he tate to submit his programme to the demoerats, perhaps even in an extra session of the mnew congres: Mr. Taft Never More in Earnest. Ome man in the confidence of the president, who has been the admin tration mouthpisce on more than one occasion, came from the White House tonight with the declaration that the proposed Canadian arrangements would mot die an easy death as long as Mr. Taft wae in the White House. “The president was mever more in earnest in his life” said he. “He in- tends to ‘stay with. it' through this sossion and to carry it to the next if Decessary. He would not hesitate to cail an extra session if he thought such & course wouid do the business.” What the President Believes. President Taft belisves that the mu. tual concessions arranged by tha Un ed States and Canada, especially the large number of articles of foodstuffs which would be put on the free Mst, promises & great humanicarian move ment that ultimately would mean a material reduction in she cost of liv- fng. He bdelieves that even if the promised geduetions are not at once mpparent, the very presence of this document in conBress will prove a de- ferrent force against comtinued ad- wancement in the prices of food. It is well known that Mr. Taft was {reaty, disappointed that the tariff had not complated its investi- gation of “scheduls K.” the wool tariff ~—eo that he could recommend at the same time a_reduction in the duti on clothing. He beil i bination would have - Biv to ths great army of wage workers who have fait the pinch of constantly mdvancing prices for what they eat and wear that tiere would have been mani- festea at once an everwhelming de- mand_throughout the country for the adoption of his programm The commerelal rolationg United States and Canada, 10 otie be. piaced sbove ,"’.:m... polit- should be ve - jcal considerations, and thers is the best possible reason for saying that he will take this ground and keep it un some action is taken by congress. More Chance of Success After March 4 The overturnimg of the republican majority in the house and the great change which will be inade in the com- plexion of the senste after March éth is thought by some to eupply Presi- dent Taft more than an even chance of suecess, -When his message was read in the house yesterday it was received with aeclamation by the dem- ocrats and appearances sesmed to fa- vor an endorsement of it by the pres- ent_minority, which soon will be the majority. If the attitude of the democratic leaders in the house proves an index of the position which minority mem- bers on the ways and means commit- tee will take on a joint resolution to put the trade agreement into force, then such a resolution can be brought out of committee. The meven demo- crats on the committee are beleved in sympathy with the agreement and it is certain that four republicans will vots to report it. This makes a clear majority of the mineteen members. Republicans Counted Upon. The republicans counted upon by’ the administration to report the resolution are McCall, Massachusetts; Hill, Con- necticut; Needham, Caltfornia, and Longworth, Ohio. Chairman Payne and Representative Dwight, both of New York, ars believed to be opposed to the agreement, but it is regafded as doubtful if they will take a determined position against the president’s wishes. Should the resolution be brought out of the ways and means committee within_the next fortnight, a vote could Dbe had on it in the house during the present session. Whether it pasees or not, it ie likely & majority of the pres- ent’ democratic members present will vote for it. This would be accepted as committing the Bouse of the next session to its pamsage. Senate Barriers Look Impregnable. It is in the semate that the barriers now look impregnalble.| A republican member of the finance committee said today that not ome of the majority of that body favored the proposed r- rangement with Canads, some being opposed because they beileved the in- terests of their states were jeopardized and others upon the ground of the sup- posed menace to the principle of pro- tection. The vstimate by this member of the sentiment in the committee concerning the agreement may not be entirely correet. FUNERAL OF D. G.

The opera takes its name from the ancient custom of a suitor sending a fose by a knight or envoy to the ob- ject of his love, and the interest is sustained from the lady falling in love with the knight and the complications arising out of this unexpected situa- tion. “Throughout %he plece is dom- inated by the melody of the walts, which has given the composer an op- portunity to exercise to its fullest his inimitable gift. : Herr Van Schuch conducted, and the opera made a strong impression, the applause increasing at the end of each act, of which there were three.

Portland, Maine, Jan. 27—Leading fish dealors in this city today expressed the opinion that the fish clause of the proposed _reoiprocity agreement with Canada would result in great benefit to the industry in this eity. ‘It will mean,” said one of them, that Portland will become & great fish port. I should think that the peo- ple of Gloucester would realize that reciprocity is their only salvation. The voice of the country is for reciprocity and Gloucester should met think of sacrificing business in order -to keep a few old vessels in the fieh business.” Another dealer said: “If we have reciprocity with Canada it will mean that more Canadian fish will be shipped here from Canada and more fish will be shipped from here to Can- adian cities. The lobster business in Portland will be greatly benefited.” Stranded Steamer Newport News Floated.

Local Governor Interveneds The American consular agent = at Alexandretta, John T. Peristiany, on boarding the steamer was set upon and roughly handled by the soldiers. Fin- ally, the local goyernor, aided by the police, intervemed and arrested the mutineers, but the capisin of the steamer refused to surrender the lien- tenant. It was agreed mutually to hand him over for court martial at Constantinople when the “New Jersey” arrived here. : Another Incident at Smyrna. On the arrival of the steamer at Smyrna, there was a fresh incident. The second mate of the vedsel on landing was seized and haled to gov- ernment house. The American consu- lar gegeral at Smyrna, Ernst L. Harris, intervened and procured the mate’s re- lease, -but on the other hand surren- dered the lieutenant to the local au- thorities. Another version of the affair places the blame on the hastiness of the Greek crew, especially the mate, who is alleged to have used a revolver and wounded six men. The American émbassy here has not et received a full report of the mut~ iny. Available shipping registers contain the name of no American steamer New Jersey which sailed in Turkish waters. The three New Jerseys laid down in the records are a ferryboat, a pilot boat and a small gas screw boat, all belonging in the vicinity of New York city. PERCENTAGE OF 90.15 IN FINAL EXAMINATION.

NO QUORUM AT ALBANY % ONLY 60 MEMBERS PRESENT General Belief That a S Elected Next Wi Albany, Jan. 27—Inquiry among leg- islators who went home today for. the week end revealed that most of them believed a United States senator would be elected here next week.

Sheehan went back to New York today declar- ing that his strength was unimpaired. No word came from Charles F, Mur- phy, who will stay, until tomorrow morning. Mr. Murphy had another consultation with Governor Dix_this evening but neither would tell what they talked about. The fact that the legislative patron- age was settled today strengthened a bellef that the senatorship question was near a settlement also. Another indication of the expecta- tion of a “new deal” was the number of hew candidates under discussion to- dey among the rank and fle of the legislature. No confirmation could be found for rumors that the leaders were considering the avallability. of Mayor Gaynor of New York and of Supreme Court Justice James A. O'Gorman. There was no quorum at today's joint session. OnRly sixty .members Were present and still fewer are ex- pected to vote tomorrow. Those who look for mementous developments next week say they may not come on Monday.
