Debate Begins on reciprocity.

Washington.-The house, by vote
of 1875 to 12l. decided on Monday to
begin immediated consideration of the
Mccall bill, carrying out the recip.
rocity agreement with Canada. No
agreement has been reached as to
the limit of debate. While the vote
to displace the regular order for the
day on the house calendar and take
up reciprocity cannot be accepted as
an exact indication OF the final vote
on the bill, it is regarded as being APP
proximately so. The vote against TAX.
ing up the measure came almost
wholly from the Republican side.

Movement Not for interference In Az

See That Dixie on Colorado River

washington.-The United states
government has taken up AT Mexico
City the question OF protecting the
dixie which is being built along the
Colorado river in Mexico. in order TO
control that stream. Whether 1t VIII
be necessary to send American troops
into Mexico for this purpose has not
been determined.
Both governments, II Is said, are CO
operating in an effort to see that the
dixie Is protected from all harm In con-
nection with the revolution. The
structure is an American Undertaking
and is being built with the consent OF
Mexico for the purpose of preventing
floods in the Colorado river and conse-
quent great damage In the Imperial
valley of California.
The work is being prosecuted under
an appropriation of 81 100000 made by
congress at its last session. The dixie
has progressed to such point that 1t Is
now DETECTING the course OF the river.
which is its purpose, and any inter-
ference at the present moment would

NOW EXPECT EXTRA SESSION
May Have 10 Llnger in Washington
for an Indefinite Period to Act
Upon Reciprocity Agreement.

Washington. members Of congress
would give much 10 know whether
they are TO be permitted TO break
ranks on March 4 or whether they
must linger in Washington for an In
definite period to act upon the Cana
dian reciprocity agreement In extra
session. There is foundation for the
report that President Taft is viewing
with entire completely the solicitude
OF members of the senate on the sub
ject OF an extra session.
Several OF the senators who feel
there is no chance for approval OF the
agreement at the present session,
have found this view is not shared at
the White House.
The president has met all pessimis-
tic predictions with the suggestion that
he is willing to trust the agreement
to a vote. He has never said, Tor
publication, that he would call an ex-
ira session II such a vote is denied,
but senators have failed to obtain as
surances that he would not do so.
