MEASURE ADOPTED WITHOUT
AMENDMENTS.

majority Of Republicans voted against
II. OF the SO votes for it 32 were
Democratic and 2t Republicans; of
the 27 against. 21 were Republicans
and Democrats.
This action settled the whole Cam
adian reciprocity question as far as
congress is concerned and save for
executive approval and the Canadian
parliment's ratification virtually
made the pact the law of the land.
Congressional practice will delay
the affixing OF the presidents sigma
ture until next Wednesday, when the
house is again in session. The re-
ciprocity bill. having originated in
the house. must be returned there for

sitting.
The Canadian parliament has not
yet acted on the agreement and with
one exception the provisions of the
bill as passed by congress will not
become effective until the president
issues a proclamation that Canada
has ratified the pact.
The exception to this procedure Is
in the paper and pulp section of the
come Immediately effective when the

Washington, July 2O.--Whether
the Taft administration wanted Lori
mer elected to succeed Hopkins as
Illinois Senator, and whether former
Senator Aldrich. Of Rhode Island
thtn the Republican Senate leader
was the means through which that
wish was conveyed to Edward Hines
the lumberman, probably will be
developed tomorrow. Mr.. Aldrich
mas arrived in Washington and is
rnady to appear before the Lcri.nel
Committee at once TO explain his al
legged activities in connection with
the Illinois Senatorial election.
Hines has testified that he waited
until midnight at the Washington
home of Senator Aldrich, while the
latter. at the White House, talked
over the Illinois Senatorial fight with
President Taft. At the conclusion Of
the conference. Hines said he was
told that the President wanted Lori
mer elected.
Following Mr.. Hines testimony, a
statement Of the Presidents attitude
toward the Illinois election, contrary
to the impression created by Hines,
was issued from the White House.
The testimony Of Mr.. Aldrich has been
awaited with much interest.
George M. Reynolds, president of
the Continental Commercial Bank,
Of Chicago, who was reported to have
declined the treasury portfolio in the
Taft administration, today told the
Senate Lorimer investigation COM
mite what he knew Of Edward Hines
delivering an alleged message to the
Goverr~t of Illinois He recited how
Hines on the day Of Lorimer's cleo
ton, consulted with him as how to
deliver the message to Governor De-
neer.
Hines came to me that morning
MAY 26,) said Mr.. Reyonlds today
and said he bore a message that
would have an important hearing on
Illinois politics, that it came direct
ly from Senator Aldrich and in reality
from the Administration Of Preel-
dent Taft and was to Governor De-
neen.'
According to Reynolds, Hines re-
marked once to him that he CHines)
probably was instrumental in Lori
mer's election, evidently referring TO
his message to Deneen. The c1ly
time the use Of money in the cleo
ton was suggested, Reynolds said.
was when Medill Mccormick, the
then manager of the Chicago Tri-
buna, came to him with the state
ment that he had definite KNOWLEDGE
that some one took $4,000 from
Washington to Springfield.
Mccormick" he added. said he
knew | knew about the message TO
Deneen and asked if I knew ANYTHING
about the money"
Attorney Hancey asked REYNOLDS
if President Taft had not once ask
ed him to be Secretary Of the Treas
ury, but the witness did not care to
answer.

dealt rather more with the econom-
ic and industrial problems of the
day. those which have arisen in the
new South since the revolution of the
sixties. He warned the younger gen.
Grafton against going money mad
and losing the spirit of truth. in
tegrity and patriotism that charac-
terized the Confederate soldier. Mr..
Fraser offered sound advice as to
the study Of history pertaining to
the War Between the States.
Mr.. Manning dealt quite at length
with the causes that led up to the
war. declaring the first protective
tgriff. which was authorized soon
after the war Of 1912 as the entering
wedge that finally effected the
breach. Considering present day
conditions. Mr.. Manning deplored
the fact that i'm the stupendous un-
dertaking of rebuilding ruined for
tunes, the men Of the South today,
while true and faithful to themselves
as individuals. had neglected com
munity duty. There is not that care
now that once was in the selection
Of public officials; there is not that
faithfulness to the minor civic re-
sponsibilities, and consequently the
community and the State suffer, de-
clared Mr.. Manning.
The speakers won hearty applause
from the crowd that thronged the
pavilion. This Is the third consec-
utive year that Mr.. Manning has
been invited to speak at Olanta. 1t
was a matter OF sincere regret that
Senator Tillman was not able to be
present.
The reunion OF Company III, 26th
South Carolina Volunteers, today was

not as large as IL has been on many
occasions for their numbers are fast
thinning out, death having visited
their ranks and removed many of
them. three or four during the past
year. However. the wives. daugh-

these grand old men will not permit

showing appreciation OF their SER

Today Was no exception to the rule.
There were only about twenty or
twenty-five of the old soldiers of
Company " present today, but there
were several hundred veterans OF the
War Betwcen the States and several
thousand, possibly 10000 Of the
friends and aCquaintanCcs there, and
such dinner has never before been
st before these old men. and the
thousands of others who had gath
cred to do honor to the occasion.
At II o'clock tho old veterans Of
Company II formed i'm line at tin

mile distant and there, under thcir

meeting. ana listened attcntivcly to
