Canada may yet be averted The ne
gotiations between the president and
w. s. Fielding, the Canadian minister
of finance, did not result either in
agreement or disagreement. There
are many details that remain to be
worked out and at this time It was de-
clared that the following official state
ment literally sums up the situation:
"The president and Mr.. Fielding

tariff today for several hours. No
conclusion was reached, but the situ-
alton remains that of friendly negotia-

Eleven Days Left.
Eleven days remain for friendly ne
gotiations" before the maximum rates
of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law auto
matically go into effect against those
countries which are regarded by the
president as "unduly discriminatory
against the United States. The law is
arbitrary as to its application, but the
president Is given judicial powers in
reaching- -arcenelnsien4ls to- what
stitutes "unduei' discrimination. Up
to this time Canada has been regarded
by the presidents tariff advisers as
"unduly'' discriminatory, and unless
concessions are granted by the domin
ion government TO place the United
States on an equal footing with France
and 13 other countries which have
been given preferential rates, under
the Canadian tariff, it seems inevitable
that Canada will be the one important
country in the world against which the
25 per cent increase Of the maximum
American rates will be applied.

Washington, March 21.-The titanic
struggle over the speakership of the
house of representatives, which reach
ed it's climax late Saturday in the de-
struction of the speakers power in the
committee on rules and the determine
ton of the house to reconstruct that
committee, yet leaving Mr.. Cannon the
speakeEship -ttseff; zaassr r.havssssdarked
not so much the ending Of a three days
battle as the beginning Of a great po-
lticai war. The recognition by all
factions OF this possibility is the prin-
cipal feature in the political situation
in Washington.
Neither Side COntented.
Hardly anybody here thinks that the
conditions of affairs after the momen-
tus battle represents any satisfactory
conclusion The speaker and his
friends appear to interpret the refusal
of the house to depose him as Justify
ing them In claiming to have wrested
victory from defeat, endorsement from
Reputation. Not a few Of the insur-
gents who voted for Mr.. Cannon's re-
tention are wondering today If they
made political blunder; whether their
antiCannon constituents will not in
deed hold their retaining him in the
speakership to have nullif1ed their vote
to eliminate him from the rules COM
mittee.
Nobody Entirely Happy.
The republican regulars complacent-
1y claim that the insurgents who voted
for the speaker have returned to the
party fold. The democrats taunt these
insurgents with having been recreant
to the logic of their insurgency. No
body seems entirely happy about the
outcome. Even in the senate the reg
ulars are apprehensive lest the insur-
gent conf1agration may be about to
spread to that house, the insurgent
senators are wondering whether they
have made the most of their oppor-
tunities.
Resent Attitude.
Speaker Cannon's defiant speech Sat
urday night before the Illinois Repub-
lican association, in which he con-
temptuous1y denounced the insurgentl
members of the house who stood by
him in the final test as 'cowardly
members of congress without the cour-
age of their convictions" has cut to
the quick those men who responded
with their votes to what they say they
belieyed to be their duty to the party
and to the country and saved him from
utter humiliation.
Cannon Makes Comment.
Washington, March 21-In his ad-
dress Saturday night before the Illi-
nois Republican association, Speaker
Cannon spoke frankly, freely and
forcefully, touching on the events of
Saturday, though he had previously /
said he would not. Speaking of the
contest of life he said:
I'VE have Just had a contest. The
public believes we have A republi- |
can majority in the house and a ma
jority in the senate. We have not a |
real republican majority in either.
Some newspaper will tell the |
truth about what occurred yesterday. |
Some will suppress the news. Some |
will speak of czarism and Cannon

or no we have majority in congress
will perhaps be demonstrated at the
