Qulre his presence, and hopes to re-

BILL PASSES
SIX DAYS FIGHTING ENDS WITH
VOTE OF 2G5 TO 50.
Provides for Reduction of Tariff
Rates on Many Articles and Free
Trade on Others.

Trade on Others.
Observation-Disclosures Taft's
Canadian reciprocity agreement, sup
ported by all but a handful of demo-
Gratis and opposed by a majority of
the republicans, passed the house of
representatives early Friday evening
by vote 265 to SO.
With nearly 200 democrats in con-
troll, and their action endorsed by
large body of the republicans, the
bill to put the agreement in force
was adopted with no amendments
and in almost identically the form
in which it passed the house in the
last session of the preceding con-
gress.
The bill seeks to put into effect
the formal agreement reached be-
tween President Taft and members
OF the Canadian cabinet for a reduc-
ton of tariff rates on many articles
and free trade on others across the
Canadian border Added to it by
the democratic leaders is a section
which authorizes and requests" the
president to make further efforts to
secure still freer trade relations
with Canada in the form of addi-
tional reciprocal relations.
The passage of the bill marked
the close of fight that had waged
in the house for six days.
Ten democrats voted against the
bill on it's passage, while 1877 demo-
Gratis voted for it. AS in the case
when the bill passed at the preced-
ing session of congress, a majority
of the republicans were found
against it, the party vote being 67
for and rs opposed.
