MUD AND MARINE GROWTH
To Be Cleared from the Maine, Before
Exposing More Surface.

Havana. June 21.-The work of re-
moving the water from the coffer-dam
surrounding the wreck OF the Maine
was suspended today, with the water
at the 15-foot level. after which the
water was permitted to rise until this
evening when it stood at the 1S-foot
level. This apparently was due to the
determination by the board of engi-
neers not to take any unnecessary risk.
While there are no Indications that
serious fears are felt concerning its
stability, measures are now being TAX
EN- to strengthen the structure.
Probably there will be no further
lowering of the water for 10 or IL
days. Meantime the work will be con-
tinued of clearing the exposed interior
of mud and marine growth.
No additional relics were recovered
today, except few rusted sword
blades, bayonets and masses of rifle
cartridges fused together.

ATTACKS ROOT AMENDMENT.
Mann Declares "violation Of Agree
ment and No Benefit to Any One

Washington, June 21-Attack on the
Root amendment to the print paper
and wood pulp section of the Canadian
reciprocity agreement as violation
of the agreement was made in the
House today by Mann. His. He said
that the practical effect of the amend
ment was this section shall never
take effect"
1T would be of no benefit to any
one" he said, except to those paper
mills in the United States which own
a temporary supply of spruce. wood
forests and hope to convert them into
paper at high prices during the next
few years, leaving the future to look
out for itself. This is neither states
manship nor wise economy. Ii the
reciprocity bill comes back to the
House with such an amendment to the
pulp and paper provision. which is alb
solutely destructive of its purpose and
which renders its intent entirely in
effective, trust that it will meet with
instant and decisive disapproval here"
The amendment provides that there
shall be no free paper or wood pulp
from Canada until the President shall
have satisfactory evidence and shall
make proclamation that such wood
pulp, paper and board, being the pro-
duct of The United States, are admitted
INTO Canada and every province there
of, free of duty

destroys the agreement as to pulp
and paper. II completely prevents the

AS the Root amendment provides
that the pulp and paper provision in
the act shall not take effect until
Canada admits all of our paper free OF
duty, and as Canada does not under
