RECIPROCITY DISCUSSION
Brings Out Queer Situation-Penrose
Secs Early Adjournment.

Washington July 1o.-The tangled po-
htieal affiliations in the present tariff re
vision and reciprocity struggle in the Sen

sions in the debate. The breaking Down of
party lines has reminded senators of the
lions and the lambs, the wolves and the
sheep, the Pharisees and the publicans
The bids of one element for support from
another caused Burton of Ohio an ardent
administration supporter. to remark that
he was pleased at the sort of mutual ad.
miraton society manifested here among
members on different sides CT the aisles.'
He eoutended that Bailey of Texas. Dem,
and Dixon, of Montana, Rep. Inslrgent
both favoring amendment to the reeiproc-
ity bill, WED with each other in their
expressions of honorable intention TO amend
| the tariff" Several senators quoted Scrip

| marked that he was reminded of the quo
| tatIon from the Psalms: Mercy and truth
| are met together; righteousness and peace
| have kissed each other
| Burton added that he was afraid other
