'GRAV bAhGttR IN u.
RECIPROCITY PACT.
-
Other Nations Can Demand the
Same Privileges Under Ex-
isting Treaty Clauses

Washington, April 10.-With the
Republican and Democratic parties
battling at the capitol for points Of
vantage in the next presidential cam
paign, President Taft, who will be
most affected by the events OF the
present session. is keeping free from
the political struggle and is unruffled
by rumors of attack on his recipr0c-
ity measure.
The president has listened patient
ly to all reports of impending disas-
ter, and has made it clear that he
believes the end of the session will
see reciprocity enacted into law. He
has been informed that the proposed
amendments to the reciprocity bill
will conflict with the favored nation
clause Of tho existing tariff, and that
other powers will demand the same
treatment accorded to Canada. In
the case of meats, for example, the
Argentine Republic might insist upon
the same concession granted to Can
eda. and this, it is held. would vir-
tually kill the cattle growing indus
try in the United States according
to the information sent to the white
house by western men.
1t is understood that even though
the senate agrees to amendments
granting additional concessions to
Canada. President Taft will sign the
reciprocity measure and let future
events justify his course.

knowledge of the shipment notwith-
standing that charges were prepaid
and refused to accept it. The ship
ment was returned to the railway de-
pot where 1t remained unclaimed but
under close watch by the authorities.

railway circles. though without con-
firmation that the .total shipment
numbers 1000 rifles and that the
