Toronto Bankers Come
Ont Against Reciprocity

TORONTO, Ont, Feb. 20.-Nine-
teen of Toronto's leading bankers
and merchants, and until now sup
porters of Premier Laurier, today, is
sued a protest against the ratihca-
ton Of the reciprocity agreement.
After emphasizing the expenditure
of hundreds of millions of dollars to
develop trade between east and west
and the prosperity that has resulted,
the protest says:
After some years OF reciprocity
under the proposed agreement the
channels OF Canada's trade would be
come so changed that u termination
of the agreement and return by the
United States to protective tariff
as against Canada, would cause a
disturbance of trade TO an unparall-
eled extent.
ITO avoid such a disruption Can
ada would be forced TO extend the
scope OF the agreement so as TO in.
clude manufactures and other things
The agreement as proposed would
weaken the ties which bind Canada
to the empire, because the unrestrict.
ed reciprocity which would natural
ly follow would still further weaken
those ties and make II more difficult
to avert political union with the
United States.

TAFT WILL GALL
EXTRA SESSION
Serves Notice On Senate That He
Will Issue Order Unless Reel
procity Bill Is Passed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-President
Taft has notified congress OF his In
tention to call an extra session II the
senate fails to pass the Canadian reci-
procity agreement The president
determination is disclosed In formal
statement given out by Rep. Samuel
w. Mccall, of Massachusetts,. after he
visited the White House last night.
According to Mr.. McCalFs an
nouncement, the president feels that
he is under an international obliga-
ton to summon an extra session.
IL it be necessary, TO secure action
ON the reciprocity agreement That
session would be called Immediately
following the adjournment OF con-
gress at noon March 4.
While II is the evident purpose
of the president, In permitting tne
announcement by Mr.. Mccall, 10
avoid an extra session by inducing
senators to act on the agreement, II
IL the opinion OF many that In all
probability the statement has come
too late. Few senators are san
guine enough to predict that action
will be taken on the agreement In
the upper branch Of the congress
at this session, while some insist
that there will be a vote.
Opponents OF the reciprocity agree
ment in the senate are viewing
with complacency, not TO say sat
isfaction, the congested conditions
existing in that body. The de-
mands of the public business are
such that vote on reciprocity can
be avoided easily without the APP
pearance of a filibuster.
A pledge MOTTO filibuster against
the reciprocity bill was given at the
White House today by Senator Bailey,
Dem. Tex. Bailey said:
Though l believe the reciprocity
agreement with Canada Is bad policy.
| shall not filibuster against 1t when
II comes before the senate"

CHINA'S ANSWER DOES
NOT SATISFY RUSSIA
Cars Government Reported To Have
Ordered Troops To occupy Chin
csc Turkestan.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 20
China's reply TO Russias semi-ultima-
tum which Is unsatisfactory In prac-
tically all of its conclusions, was re-
ceived today. The answer falls so
far short OF Russia's demands that IL
Is reported that the war office has al.
ready concentrated a large force on
the frontier, preparatory TO Selling
the Kuldja district of Chinese Turk
estan.
China says that to grant Russia's
demands would give the latter com
mercial monopoly in Mongolia, even
to the exclusion Of Chinese trade.
The third article in Russias note
demanded Freedom to trade and lib
erty to travel and reside for Russian
subjects in Mongolia and territories
behind the great wall.
China contends that this is an un-
warranted extension OF the idea OF
freedom OF trade, particularly as Rus
sia demands exemption OF taxation on
her people.
No such liberties are provided for
in the treaty of 1881, according to the
Chinese view.
China agrees to the establishment
of Russian consulates at all points
mentioned by Russia. except Cheng-
huassa. She insists, however, that
article IL of the treaty, providing for
the withdrawal of tariff exemptions
whenever trade warrants the estab-
lishment of a Russian consulate be
adhere TO. This is denial OF Rus
sia's general contention for freedom
from Chinese tariffs.
In the main, China contends that
the treaty has not been violated eth
err In letter or spirit. She points on'
several alleged violations on Russta's
part. The expulsion of Chinese from
the east side Of the Amur river and
the failure TO indemnify China Tor
property destroyed in the Russo-Jap-
anese war are cited as illustrations.

Today We See Vienna'S RingStraSSe, Beautiful
Boulevard Where Once We're Only HOVelS

1.-The Times Tour Of the Worid)
VIENNA, Feb. -2o.-"when." as they
call II here. Is perhaps worthy OF
being called the most beautiful oil
modern cities. Not so big as Paris
nor SO rich ip famous public puiid-
ings, Vienna is nevertheless more
beautiful than Paris as a whole, oe-
cause Of the harmonious way In which
the city has been developed architec-
|turally.
Vienna is beautiful because the
Viennese were not afraid TO TAKE
heroic measures In their enorts 10
make their city glorious. The KING
strasse" Cor Ring street,, section Oh
which is shown in the above picture
is the GROWING glory OF Vienna. In
deed. il is one OF the most splendlc
streets in all the world. II is a broad
parked boulevard betting the heart OF
the city with a circle OF grass ana
trees and pavements and magnificent
renaissance buildings.
A little over sixty years ago the
land now occupied by this street was
cluttered up with a squalid belt oil
novels and decaying fortihcations-
relics OF the days when Vienna was
walled city. The people OF Vienna
simply demolished the Notifications
and RACED the miserable buildings,
and made in the site OF the old wall
this wonderful ringstrasse.
Vienna boasts many great buildings.
The Vienna opera house is one OF the
most magnificent in the world. The
Rathaus, or town hall, with Its 320
foot tower, is masterpiece of gothic
architecture, while the national house
of parliament, built in Greek style, Is
building OF great dignity and Inn
pressiveness.
But It's not all beer and skittles In
Vienna In spite OF its beauty and
gayety Vienna has it's troubles. Until
very recently the death rate In Vienna
was very high, owing TO poor water
and lack OF sanitation; and Vienna
isn't the cleanest city in the world
yet Further. Vienna Is a paradise
for vermin They do say that the bed
bugs OF the world have their interna-
tional headquarters here.
From Austria We shall move east
into Russia. The next stop for the
