 To number of well known men in Birmingham tine news from Canada came not as a surprise. Sidney J. Bowie stated that he mad expected to hear of reef procty's defeat on account of the lavish expenditure of money on the part of Canadian moneyed interests.

ISSUE LICENSES
 SOON ONASPOSS|BLE Commission Will Issue Sa- loon Licenses First of
 Next Week

Chairman W C. Agee of the Jefferson county excise commission yesterday gave out a statement to the effect that the commission appreciated the position of those men desiring saloon licenses and that the official body would hasten as much as possible in granting them off cial sanction to operate saloons in this county. He designates the early part of next week as the time the first license will be issued.
 Mir. Agee said that the segregation at Bessemer, Pratt City, Ensley and Wy lam was causing vast amount of study and that no authorative announcement could be made al this time.
 We have been unable to get into our offices yet" said MT. Agee but they are preparing a place for us and by tomorrow we will perhaps secure an opportunity of looking over some applications. I will say officially that we will begin to issue li cenes the first part of next week. We understand and appreciate that the saloon men will have to pay over half chelr yearly license for three months opera ton and for that reason We will use every energy to get the licenses issued as soon as possible. I realize that it is proper to issue the full limit at one time but that is now a physical impossibillty so we will issue 15 or 20 beginning the frs; of next week.
 Tn respect to the cities where we have not yet indicated any lines of segregation 1t may be said that we have looked Jver the situations closely and just as soon as possible we will indicate what Is to be done in respect to those lines. We hope to render opinions to please the ma jority of the people"
 During the. day the excise commissions CTS received several additional appllca- tions and many callers.

north pole. They are people of our blood; they speak our language; their institutions are much like our own. These are trained in the different art of self government. My judgment is that if the treaty of 1854 had never been abrogated the chances of con solidation of these two countries would have likewise been much greater than they are now
 The Canadian press, or at least no small part of it, accepted MT Clark s statement as a confession that the real motive of the United States govern ment was to promote annexation.
 In explanation Mr.. Clark once said: Although reciprocity is resurrected l represent my own views This was given in a jocular vein. His opponents enjoyed the defense.
 Mr Clarks expressions were later weighed carefully when he was elected speaker and as such became the leader of his party Many persons, because of the circumstances, were tonight at ributing the political downfall of the premier of the Canadian government to the speaker of the American House of Representatives.

CANADIANS REPUDIATE RECIPROCITY AND MINISTRY

of years. The consolation coming out of the situation is that the administra- ton went down to defeat after hard fight and fell on one of the greatest issues that has ever been placed before the Canadian electors
 The verdict is looked upon as tri- umph for the cause of protection and a victory for the manufacturers ot Canada who were openly opposing the government because they feared the re- moval of duties upon natural products would be followed by an attack upon the protection which Canadian manu- lecturers have enjoyed for many years
 It was expected the cities would go against the government and reciprocity and in q large measure they did. 1t had also been expected by the liberals at least that the rural portions of the country would take the opposite view and vote for reciprocity to obtain free admission to the United States for their products.
 In this the liberals were deceived for the rural constituencies followed the example of the cities and declared against the government.
 Among the most disappointed men over the result is Sir Frederick Borden, minister of militia, who has been minister of the crown ever since the Iaurier government took. office. He has suffered the humiliation of having been defeated by 21-year-old college stu dent He also loses the chance of go- ing to London as Canadian high com missioner In succession to Lord Strath- coma, for which place he was prom inenuy spoken.
 Hon. Sidney Fisher, minister of agri- culture. is in somewhat similar straits He was defeated by young lawyer who has barely passed his majority.

What Effect Will It Have?

Washington September 21,-The ques- ton which is agitating leaders of 2oiti- cal parties and factions tonight Is how their fortunes in the approaching na- tional campaign will be affected by the defeat of the Laurier government and Canadian reciprocity
 1t is evident their political views will undergo changes as from expressions rec orded in the extraordinary session of Congress. Tie majority remained silent regarding the outcome.
 Huntingdon Wilson of the state depart ment declined to make any statement on his official capacity and there was no oth- CT high official to discuss the situation.
 The unofficial view was that as Canada had rejected the trade agreement there was not left for the administration be- yond accepting the matter in finality.
 That the rejection of the Canadian agreement will have strong bearing upon the campaign of President Taft is not doubted. Some of the old guard republl- cans supported the reciprocity agreement are saving it's defeats will strengthen the Taft administration by removal of the only issue on which there was any dis agreement with the President.
 Insurgents Opposed It
 Most of the insurgent republicans were opposed to the agreement and they be- l1eNt tDelf position nus Dten SlTeHStHsleu There was no one here. however, to speak even informally for the democrats A majority of that party in both Senate and House voted for the enactment Of the trade pact. Without their votes the Taft programme for the extraordinary session would have failed.
 Some of the friends of the lost agree ment do not hesitate to charge the Ca madam defeat of the Laurier government to the defection in the annexation bogie. Clark's Speech
 One of the excuses for this issue was suggested by speech of Champ Clark of Missouri, now speaker of the House, which he delivered in favor of the agreement during the last session or the Sixty first Congress. when the agreement was passed by the House and held up by the Senate. MT. Clark was making a plea for a wider market and in giving his reasons for support ing the Canadian agreement said:

 Among the features of the games was a long catch by cen terfielder Lewis that kept the Props from making a home run. Except for this catch the ball would have done the aeroplahe e act over the fence. Another feature was the putting of the ball over the fence by Litton, but except for the ground rules prohibiting his taking more than two bases would have been an easy home run. A double play by Briggs in the last inning brought forth loud applause and brought the battle of bat and ball to an end.

DIED

One of the saddest deaths chronicled lately was that of the little son of MT. and Mrs. Henry Hit who died Friday evening the Eth instant. Cause of death was due to pneumonia following a severe case of measles.
 Little Geo. Henry was 2 years, 10 months and 25 days of age. The ravages of the disease tore at the life of the little sufferer for many days and all that medi- cal skill, careful nursing and prayers could do did not stop the hand of death.
 The body was laid to rest in DeAnn cemetery Saturday after noon at 3::30 o'clock, Rev A. H. Shaw officiating.
 To the heart broken parents and grand parents the Picayune extends it's deepest sympathy. As word of consolation We here repeat a few words which we once heard from the lips of a good man at the burial of child: This child knows to day more happiness, sees more beauty, realizes more of what love really is and knows more of the, to us, mysteries of heaven. than we ourselves know or could ever learn until we ourselves had en- tered there."
