1t Is the opinion of most of the Off

END TALK ON RECIPROCITY
Canadian and United States Ccnferees
Agree on Tariff Pact, But
Withhold Details.

Washington.-The state department
announces that the Canadian tariff re-
ciprocity pact has been agreed upon.
A joint statement was issued Saturday
by the United States and Canadian ne
gotiators which read:
"The negotiators have reached an
understanding, which, when certain
formalities are completed, will be
made public at Washington and Of
tawa. 1t is thought this may be done
Thursday"
In submitting the agreement to the
senate and to the house, President
Taft will avoid submitting it as a
treaty, which would require a two
thirds vote in the senate. Concur
rent legislation in both branches of
congress making the stipulated rates
apply to Canada can be made effective
with majority vote in each branch Of
congress. While the details are with
held, it is understood in a general way
that the Canadian duties on American
manufactures are scaled down from
21a to per cent.
This is another form of Canada
granting it's intermediate tariff in
stead of it's general tariff on Ameri-
can manufactures.

Workmen in demolishing an ancient
house situated in the Rue de Stras-
bourg, opposite the old Mont de Pete
at Nantes, have made an interesting
discovery which is likely to attract
considerable attention, since the find
was at once dispersed by the men. 1t
consisted of number of gold and sill
yer coins of different epochs. The
most interesting bore the ef1igy Of AL
phonso VIII, king of Galicia and Cas-
tile, who reigned from 1925 to 115S.
They bear on the exergue an inscrip-
ton in Arabic in these terms: "The
Emir of the Catholics is aided by
Allah, and Allah protects them" The
find is interesting in more ways than
one, and it is likely that economic
writers will not fail to make use of
these coins to show the trade rela'
lions of Nantes about the period OF
the Hundred Years War.

PLAN 70 UNITY BANKS
SYSTEM OFFERED BY ALDRIcH
FORMED BY INSTITUTIONS.
Would Be Principal Fiscal Agent OF
Government New Financial Houses
to Receive Savings.

Washington.-Sen N. w. Aid
rich's plan for the revision OF the
national banking legislation" as he
calls it, was given publicity Tuesday.
1t does not contemplate the eStaD-
lishment of a central bank and it If
so far from what many have expected
Mr.. Aldrich to propose that to those
who have not been in his confidence
1t may come as a surprise.
The plan was submitted to the ma
tional monetary commission, but Sen
ator Aldrich was not present. His
communication was presented to the
commission by the vice-chairman,
Representative Vreeland of New York.
Far from recommending the estab-
lishment of a central bank, Mr.. Aid
rich expressly disclaims belief in 1t
as calculated to meet the needs OF
the situation. In his letter of trans
initial he says:
while we have found much that is
admirable in the operation Of the vari-
Gus government banks of Europe,
none of them is applicable to our
needs here. The good results which
they obtain can, believe, be reached
without the creation of such central
bank. l feel that the plan which is
proposed reaches those results with
out being open to the objections
which may well be brought against
such an institution"
What Mr. Aldrich does propose is
the establishment of the Reserve AS
ISOLATION of America" representing
what might be called federation OF
local associations formed by national
banks. The plan in brief follows
Local organizations of representa-
tives of banks, formed by not fewer
than ten banks, each bank holding
stock in the association in proposition
to it's capital.
Directors elected by these to the
branch for each of Is financial dis
tricts into which the United States
would be divided. Each branch
board would include a certain proper
ton of men not bankers, but reprs
senting industrial, agricultural. com
mercial and other interests.
The association would be the prin'
cipal fiscal agent and depository OF
the government md would fix from
time to time the rate of exchange or
discount. Eventually it's notes would
replace those of the national banks
Prime commercial paper, passing up
from the banks through the local as
sociations and branches, as well as
bonds of the government, could be
used as basis for currency issue.

New York.-The donation of an adj

the Carnegie institution of Washing
ton by Andrew Carnegie, the founder,
was announced Friday.
This latest contribution brings the
total of Mr.. Carnegie's gifts to the

Coupled with the formal announce

British admiralty charts by which the
captain was guided were two or three
degrees astray.
The discovery of $4,000 new worlds

on Mount Wilson, Cal, also was an
nounced The observatory was estab-
lished by the institution, and it's
operations and discoveries afford Mr..
Carnegie more delight, perhaps, than
any other workings of the institution.
Mr.. Carnegie also announced that
far more powerful telescope than man
has ever made is now under construc-
ton for the Mount Wilson observa-
tory. With it he hopes to make pos
sible the discovery of still more celes-
tial bodies.
The new telescope will have a lens
Of 100 inches diameter. Mr.. Carnegie
declares that "the whole world is go
ing to listen to the oracle on the top
Of Mount Wilson, and in few years
we shall know more about the uni
verse than Gali1eo and Copernicus
ever dreamed of. / hope / shall live
long enough to hear the revelations
that are to come from Professor Hale

The defendant in a case before
Judge Bacon, who objected to being
described as a gentleman, may be
commended on his refusal, to be
labeled with term which even Sir
James Murray is shy of defining, says
the London Chronicle. There is the
old legal definition, "all above the
rank of a yeoman," and there is Sir
William Blackstone's description of a
gentleman as zone who can live idly
and without labor" There is also the
historic definition given by witness
at the trial of Thurtell for the muir
der of Mr.. Weare as lone who drives
a gig" And the cabman probably ex.

what constitutes a man, a gentleman
