Senators Debate Reciprocity.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-Au attempt
by Chairman Penrose, of the senate
finance committee, to fix July "a for a
vote on the Canadian reciprocity bill,
was defeated in the senate today
through Senator LaFollette's objec-
tion.
The debate indicated that portion
of the republican insurgents and some
democrats will fight to have the wool
revision and the free list bills passed
first, so that the president will have to
act on them before the senate passes
the reciprocity bill.
The Penrose resolution proposed q
vote on the reciprocity bill on July
"a, vote on the wool revision bill or
July 2e and vote.on the free list bill
on July %. Senator LaFollette's OBJ
lection was made only to the vote on
the reciprocity bill.

gress was the only power that could
make the proposal for reciprocity.

would cooperate In any attempt to GET

MAY Abandon Army Posts.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-In his testi-
mony before the house committee to-
day Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of staff
declared that four and possibly six
army posts in the northwest are to be
abandoned. All posts Of less than
regimental, If the regimental rule Is
applied. Fort Missoula and Fort
William Henry Harrison will be
abandoned, leaving Montana without
q military post, Fort Assinniboine
having already been abandoned.
Inasmuch as Senator Dixon ia q
member of the military committe,
it is thought probable that Fort
Missoula will be retained, aud that
Fort Harrison at Helena will be
selected for abandonment. No definite
orders for abandonment have yet
been issued, and before they are pro-
mul g ated Sen ator Dixon will have q
conference with General Wood and the
secretary Of war.
