Ten of the opposing votes were cast by the Democrats and the othei 79 by the Republicans. A majority of Republicans in the House se.ed against the measure a1 the fears of Pr. sident Taft were realized, namely that the Reciprocity measure would go through by Democratic votes alone. At the last minute today the president summoned group of Re- publican opponents of Reciprocity .c the White H,..:se and made a pc SOL al appeal to them but without avail.
 The bill now goes to the Senate, where strenuous effo ,ts are to be made through amendments and ether wise to defeat it. Announcement

 MT. Underwood in his closing nd- dress read from the New York An erican the exposure of the Wilbu. F. 'W1aheman telegrams to members of the House from the League heodquar- ters in New York.

El Paso, April 21.-Up l to night fall the attack on Iuarez had more of the opera buffet than, the tragic about it, but we are promised some fighting h. foe dawn.
 Yesterday Senor Medero was gCing to assault at o'clock this afternoon if President Diaz had not by that lime resigned and if Juarez was not deliv- cred into his hands. But at the threatened hour the city was serene and quiet.
 The shops and saloons were closed. Many people had moved to El Paso, taking bedding with them and some minor belongings. Large German flags were displayed over many stores and establishments. Railroad shops were shut down and the rail- road t"ains and engines taken away.
 General Navarro is said to have 750 soldiers in addition to the armed customs, postoffice and city officials The general sympathy of this popu- lace is with Madero. It is told that when the smeltermen went to work this morning they sent their lunch baskets over the river by. small boys and went without their midday meal so that the Maderoists might eat. Ma dero himself received many callers and invited one lady and gentleman to take lunch with Tim.
 His troops wore motley crowd, not armed alike, but having plenty ot ammunition. They are said to num- Der 2.600. Their horses-of whtcn they had not many-were in good ccc- dition They have two home made cannons. The discipline was of, the easiest.

AXE RECIPROCITY SPEECH
In ohJectlns to the Measure, ,!e
Takes Occasion to Say Repub-

Betrayed.

WASHINGTON. July 13.-Caustic
criticisms of President Taft for mot
keeping his promises" adding betray-
al to betrayal during his administra-
tion and sacrificing progressive pol
icies to Aldrichism and reactionaries,
was made to the senate today by La
Toilette
Canadian reciprocity. La Toilette
said, violated every principle of reci-
procity hitherto expressed in republi-
can platforms and violated every tariff
pledge in the platform of which Taft
was elected president.
THE principle Of reciprocity here
tofore expressed In republican plat
forms Is violated as also all the tariff
pledges. 1t promises (reciprocity) to
reduce duties for the benefit of the
people" he said
'Tt reduces duties, the effect of which
can never reach the people, but it does
reduce them for the miller, the pack
ers, Standard Oil, to brewers, the coal
companies, and in some measure for
/ the already over-protected interests. 1t
Is nothing that 1t pretends to be and
processes to be nothing that it is. II
is little brother to the Payne-Aldrich
bill, the greatest legislative wrong in
fiiefed upon the American people In
hat century,
AS basis and justification for his
views. La Toilette gave history o.
4 the tariff situation for the past ter
years, asserting the trust created
Dingley bill increased the cost of liv
/ ing and created an inevitable demanc
for tariff revision.
j Summing up his indictment agains
the president, he asserted that the ex
ecutive had attempted to secure the
enactment Of an interstate commerce
law favorable to the railroads: az
throwing open Controller Bay, Alaska
key to the coal fields to corporation
interest; removed honest and eff1cieu
James A. Garfield from the interior de
