RECIPROCITY Is
HAVING HARD TIME
Paper And Wood Pulp Provisions of
Treaty Cause Much Adverse
Criticism in Washington.

Washington, D. c., Feb. S.-As re-
suit of the growing belief that the
paper and wood pulp provisions of the
new Canadian reciprocity agreement
will operate one-sidedly to benefit the
dominion without corresponding ben
eft to the United States, an important
change is likely to be made by con-
gress in the measure before it is rati-
fed. Paper manufacturers and others
believe the language of the arrange
ment is such that the United States
may be compelled to admit paper free
before Canada complies with her part
of the agreement.
The situation has been presented to
the ways and means committee in such
strong light that many of its members
are satisfied the agreement on these
provisions is open to a construction
which may be to the disadvantage of
American manufacturers.
Secretary Knox of the state depart
ment sent a letter to the committee
yesterday saying the commissioners
had arrived at only tentative agree
ment on the paper schedule. It can
be changed, he said, without defeat
ing the rest of the treaty, and its ad
justment can be left to future negotia
tions or future action of congress.
The trouble arises over the distinc,
ton in Canada between "crown lands
and private lands" and the rulings
that the treasury department at Wash
ington has made on this subject.
Where Canadian provinces prohibit
the expectation of pulp logs it is from
"crown lands" The provinces have
no power to prohibit the expectation
of logs cut from private lands.
The treasury department has held
that even where a province has pro
hibited the expectation of logs from
crown lands the logs from private
lands or the paper manufactured from
them come in at the lowest rate. Or
this basis, it is feared the courts viii
hold that paper from private land tim
Der, or from provinces that have ne
restrictions, can come in free, even be
fore the rest of the provinces remove
their restrictions.

FIRE COMPLETES
ITS DESTRUCTION
Legislature Decides to Provide Itself
With Temporary Quarters During
Present Week.

Jefferson City, Mo, Feb. T. The
fire at the state capitol building broke
into flames again last night after
smouldering twenty-four hours and,
spreading to the Office of the govern
nor and secretary of state, completed
the destruction of Missouri's capitol
which lightning started Sunday night.
There is no water to stop the progress
of the flames, and at a late hour it
seemed that the extreme end of the
south wing will meet the fate of the
center of the building
The treasurer's office now appears
to be the only section of the capitol
that may escape destruction.
The legislature has decided to con-
tinue the present session in Jefferson
City, and a joint committee will find
suitable locations for both branches
during the present week Offers of
other cities to furnish quarters were
declined with thanks.
Governor Hadley, in a special mes
sage urged that provision be made
for a new building and submitted to
the people for referendum vote with
in three months He opposed con-
stitutional amendment because of the
delay necessitated.
While part of the house journal was
destroyed, the minute book was saved,
so that the record can be made up
again, and all actions legalized
Bills pending in the senate will not
be affected, as the senate records were
saved. Both branches will reconvene

DEMOCRATS WILL
AID RECIPROCITY
Vote on Resolution In Democratic cau-

Washington, D. c., Feb. Favor
able action of the house on the Can
adian reciprocity agreement was as
sured last night when a caucus of
democratic representatives formally
pledged the party to vote for the agree
ment.
The resolution endorsingthe Can
adian agreement was carried 80 to %.
On a motion of Mr. Clark of Missouri,
the action of the caucus was made un-
animous.
The % who voted against the reso-
luton, it was explained later, were
those who had voted for free lumber,
etc, and their action in the caucus
was to make the position consistent
It was said that they would vote with
the party.
The resolution as adopted by the
caucus follows:
Whereas, the Canadian reciprocity
agreement negotiated by the reciproc-
lLy COmmlbSIOu Ill SdHdud anu the
president, of the United States, while
not formulated in accordance with
what the democratic platform demands
is reduction of some of the prohibi-
tive schedules in the Payne tariff law
and will tend to expand the trade of
the United States in Canada, and is in
part recognition of the principles
which the democratic party has con-
tended for in congress and in its plat
forms. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That this caucus endorse
the Canadian reciprocity agreement
and bring ourselves to vote for the bill,
carrying it into effect"
The causus unanimously adopted a
resolution by Mr. Cantrill, of Kentucky
declaring that the caucus believed
every American farmer should have at
his disposal "the information of the
production and stocks on hand of agri-
cultural products and we pledge our
selves to attempt to bring about that
end by legislation"
