Picturesque Scene in the Pope's
Private Library Today.

Rome, Dec 23.-z-There was a picturesque
scene in the pope's private library at noon
to-day, when all the cardinals living in
Rome gathered to give their pope their
Christmas greeting. All the visitors wore
their gorgeous red robes. A remarkable
fact was that, with the exception of Car
dinal San Stefano and Cardinal Parocchi
all the assembled prelates, many of whom
were created cardinals when Plus TX. was
pope, appeared exceptionally well, ami
mated and full of plans for the future.
= Cardinal Santo Stefano as doyen Of the
sacred college read the congrat ulatory adj
dress. The pope spoke at some length in
reply and expressed keen sorrow at the
fact that his jubilee year was ennbittered
by painful events, referring evidently to
the divorce bill. The pontiff IN this con-
nection remarked: :.5 q

order. and the reco11s tructior of the states

wealthy resident Of Minneapolis: has
become interested in large tractt OF
lumber in northern California. 1t is al
most a certainty that he Is opposed to-
reciprocity with Canada. for he prob =
ably knows that Canada would accept no
treaty that failed to give substantial
recognition to her lumber industry"

and therefore he encourages it. but he
has not the slightest hope that anything
can be done in the years that are just at
hand He thinks that the exhaustion OF
the American lumber supply would do
more to make reciprocity with Canada.
easy than everything else combined.
A Mistake In Strategy. i, Il
1t is probable that a mistake III stra
tegy was made when the friends Of gen.
eral reciprocity dumped a dozen OF more
treaties upon the senate at one time, fol-
lowing the enactment of the Dingley law.
Under that law Mr.. Kasson and a corps
of assistants got busy with a number of
different countries at the same time,
with the result that a number of trea-
ties was prepared. There were special
interests opposing each particular treaty.
These interests combined in the face of
the onslaught which the treaties pro-
posed and the result has been an un-
broken deadlock. Had but one treaty
been prepared. something might have
been accomplished but the surest way
to have invited defeat was to proceed
as the state department did, and give all
the treaties to the senate at one time.
Every reciprocity treaty involves q par
tial revision of the tariff, which is an
other objection to 1t on the part of the
highly protected eastern states. There
would be smooth sailing in the senate If
we could arrange reciprocity treaties with
other countries touching only articles
that are on our free list; but that would
be impossible. for we must offer =some-
turn, and our free list, for obvious rea-
sons, is worthless when 1t comes to se-t
curing trade concessions abroad. e
