STONE WARMLY DEFENDS
RECIPROCITY AGREEMENT

washington, May LIN three
hours speech Senator Stone of Mis-
souri, in the senate today denounced
what he regards an unjust propa-
ganda to defeat the Canadian reci-
procity bill The attempt. he said,
was being made to alarm the Ameri-
can people by painting the ruin that
would follow the free importation of
Canadian goods, "the product of
cheap labor"
This contention, he said was un-
true, and submitted statistics to show
both labor and livestock were higher
across the border
When Mr.. Stone concluded Sem
atcr Gallinger asserted the Missouri
senator had proved eonclusively that
there would be no reduction in the
cost of living, which 1t had been CON
tended reciprocity would bring to the
United States. Mr. Stone replied he
had not contended that reciprocity
would be of great benefit, but had
undertaken to show that 1t would
produce no great injury.
"And yet we give away ten mil
lions OF revenue Mr. Gallnger re-
torted. Mr.. Stone urged that the
great benefit to be derived from en-
tering into reciprocal relations with
Canada would be to encourage freer
trade with that country, opening the
way to freer trade with the world.
He said he hoped to have an oppor-
tunity to vote for the house free list
bill
Mr.. cummins agreed with Mr..
Stones conclusions regarding prices
In Canada and said he was convinced
the passage of the bill would not af-
feet a reduction of the cost of liv-
ing
Counting out the lowering effect of
the small wages paid negro labor In
southern states, Mr.. Gallinger said the
American wages paid near the boun-
dary line are from 25 to 80 per cent
more than across the line He con-
tended that generally prices were
higher in Canada than In this coun-
try. ,

REPORT THAT DURANGO
HAS BEEN TAKEN by REBEL s

City of Mexico, May 1.-Uneonhrm-
cd reports that Durango, the capital
of the state of that name had fallen
into the hands of the rebels and ru-
mors that attacks were TO be made
soon on Cuernavaca and Puebla, two
other state capitals, south of Mexico
City, have served to increase the feel
ing of apprehension here.
Last night the bridge at San Juan
del Rio, south of Queretaro on the
line of the Mexican Central railroad
was blown out and destruction of sew
eral small wooden bridges on the line
of the National railroad north of San
Potosi has seriously interrupted traf-
fic on the Laredo route.
The news that Durango was taken
by the rebels last week was contain
ed in a letter from Torreon, which
arrived here today. The writer says
news has reached Torren that Luis
Moya. the rebel leader in the state of
Durango. is now marching with one
thousand men to the city with the in
tention of making 1t his military head
quarters.
In the neighmorhood of Torreon
the federals are again In control Of
the situation. Dissension in the ranks
of the rebels who took Lerado and
Gomez Palacio resulted in the evacua-
ton of these towns after short re-
sistance. The rebels have retired to
the hills and for the moment Torreon
feels safe from attack.
The announcement last night by the
rebel general Figueroa, of general
plan involving g march upon the cap
ital has been followed by rumors that
the city is in imminent danger. 1t Is
not but a wide area extending almost
to the city is infested with rebel bands
whose number Is probably not less
than 5000 and may be somewhar
greater.
These forces do not appear to be
working under any one head and II is
considered improbable that move
ment on the city will be made.

Mr.. Gillette of Massachusetts,, and
Mr.. Dyer of Missouri attacked the
