Amendments Not Considered.

: Washington, July 22.-The senate at
Canadian reciprocity bill by vote of
SO to 27. The senate cleared the way
for an overwhelming passage of the
bill, defeating amendment after
decisive votes. The measure cannot
become a law until next Wednesday,
as the house adjourned today until
then. The bill must be returned to
the house for engrossment before it
can be signed by the president.
An amendment by Senator Simmons
of North Carolina, putting fresh meats
and meat products on the free list,
was defeated by 16 to GA.
Senator Simmons then offered an
amendment placing flour and cereal
products on the free list. This was
defeated by II to So.
The senate's passage of the Cana
dian reciprocity bill in precisely the
same form it emerged from the house
brings to an end President Taft's
long fight for the ratification of the
pact. Then senators overwhelmingly
favored the measure during the de-
bate which led to today's final action.
Party lines were swept away and a
vigorous fight waged to saddle the
measure with riders that friends of
the bill claimed would mean the de-
feat of the whole proposition.
First of Kind.
This bill is the first big reciprocity
treaty that the American government
has ever signed. 1t means that the
majority of manufactured articles of
Canada as well as the raw material
of that great domain, will come to
this country free or with an extreme
ly low duty, and that the same will
be true of such articles and mate
rials going fl bm the United States to
Canada. a%

fitted, as will be the manufacturers,

gress was called by President Taft
for the purpose of passing the tariff
measure 1t has been fought step by
step pro and con, but the final vote
shows the general trend of the "Amer-
ican house of lords" on the subject
in accord with the new idea.
There has been some opposition in
Canada to the treaty and more in Eng
land, but the majority in those coun-
tries favored a closer commercial
treaty with the Great Republic. The
final action will ,be taken by the house
next Wednesday.

ing into Commission Form of Gov.
ernment Will Submit Report.

City council will meet in regular
session tomorrow night and the meet.
ing is scheduled to be one of the
most important held by the solons in
some time, inasmuch as two matters
in which the people of the city are
deeply interested will come up.
The most important probably is the
proposition to sell all the Towns Com.
mons property The report of the
special committee, appointed by the
mayor two or three months ago to
look into the possibility of selling this
property was rendered at the last
meeting of council and the sale of the
property in question was recommend
ed. The meeting adjourned, how.
ever, before the committee report was
adopted. and this will be the feature
of the meeting to be held tomorrow
night.
If council adopts the report of the
committee, which seems very likely.
then the bill giving the authority to
the city to sell the property will be
forwarded at once to Representative
Butts with the request that he have
it passeS If possible at this session.
If this is done, then it will be up tc
the people of the city to say whether
or not they favor the sale of this
property, as they will vote on the
question at the first general election.
which will be held in December.
No question of greater Importance
to the people of the city has been up
IN recent years than this proposition
to sell all the Towns Commons prom.
erty and the final outcome will be
awaited with interest
For Commission government.
Another matter in which the people
of the city are vitally interested will
also be up at the meeting tomorrow
night. The committee which was ap-
pointed weeks ago by Mayor Butts
to investigate the commission form of
government, will also submit a report
at the meeting. This committee has
held a number of meetings since it's
dHu JHG uHdLteT has DeeH
thoroughly investigated. Various
forms OF government now in use in
other cities have been looked into
and some of the members of the com.
mittee have taken much interest in
the matter and have made a study of
1t.
1t is known that the committee will
recommend a change in the govern
ment of the city, but just which form
will be suggested is not known. But
1t will be up to council to say whether
or not the commission form is adopt.
ed Like the other matter, II the re-
port Of the committee is adopted, then
the bill will be at once sent to At.
lanta and may be, passed during. the
present session.
Besides these two matters Of. more
than usual interest, council, will also
dispose of its regular routine work.

A SHIVERY TALE.
Ball of Fire in a Georgia Village
Gives People the Creeps

The cities of Dyaz, a prosperous
community in the western part Of
Monroe county, are still greatly mys-
titled over the mysterious ball of fire
that is to be seen every night near the
residence Of James Holloway Your
correspondent has just received in
formation that the ball Of fire has
lately become more Illuminating than
it has in the past, and that it
seems to be a little larger than for
merly. Despite many Investigations,
the people of Dyas community have
been wholly unable to comprehend
the nature of the strange phenome-
non.
The appearance rises near the res
idence of Mr. Holloway every night
about II o'clock, and can be seen
from that hour until day breaks. It
is not visible during the day The
ball of fire generally remains about
thirty or thirty-five feet above the
earth and constantly travels over
about a 20-acre field near Mr.. Hol-
loWay's house Sometimes it dances
very rapidly along the ground, and
all of a sudden rises to a distance of
thirty or forty feet above the ground
Mr.. Holloway says that the phenome-
non was first seen on his plantation
about thirty years ago and that it
has been seen by thousands of people
1t is said that the people OF the Dyas
section have been greatly alarmed
over the ball of fire, and that they
would be delighted, indeed, to see the
phenomenon make its disappearance
and never be seen again, because
lately great many runaways have
resulted on account of horses and
mules becoming frightened at the
ball of fire, and many people have had
narrow escapes from death and seri-
Gus injuries in the runaWays During
the past several weeks a great many
people from all over Monroe and sur
rounding counties have gone to Dyas
to see the ball Of fire. and all have
pronounced it as the most wonderful
phenomenon that they have ever seen
or heard of. Lately many attempts
have been made by the citizens of
Dyas to get close enough to the OBJ
ject to ascertain the nature of the
phenomena, but as one gradually
nears the ball Of fire it disappears
and appears again at distance of
several hundred yards off
