ROOT AMENDMENT IS
 LOST IN THE SENATE
Action by Upper House Indicates
 Victory For Reciprocity.

The Root amendment to the Canadian reciprocity bill was defeated in the sen ate. The indications are now that reciprocity has free sailing and will pass without amendment at an earlier date than has been expected.
 The Root amendment was defeated without any record vote, no roll having been demanded. Vice President Sher. was a mild chorus of yeas" and louder chorus of nays" and he de- clared the amendment lost.
 The Root amendment proposed to delay the free admission of wood pulp and print paper into this country until all restrictions against the exportatlon of these products had been removed by the Canadian provinces. Under the terms of the bill in its present form pulp and print paper will be admitted free from all provinces except those that maintain export restrictions.
 Steps were immediately taken look ing toward the fixing of a date for voting upon the reciprocity and other tariff measures An agreement was drawn up by Chairman Penrose of the finance committee and submitted to a number of senators on both sides of the chamber.
 This argument proposes that vote should be taken by unanimous consent on the Canadian reciprocity bill on July 24; on the farmers free list on the following day, and on the Under wood wool bill on July 26.

As the Peace Treaty Extends Germany

Restrict Her Armaments.

Mohonk Lake, N. Y, May 25-seyere
criticism of Theodore Roosevelt's re-
cent public utterances, regarding in
ternational arbitration marked the
speech of John w. Foster, former Sec
retary of state, today before the seven
teenth annual meeting of Lake Mohonk
conference on international arbitra-
tion. "At the same time,"' said Mr..
Foster. notwithstanding MIR. Roose-
velt's early declaration in opposition
to arbitration, the colonel has done
more than any other living man to ad-
vance this cause"
The Anglo-American treaty of arbi-
tration would have no appreciable ef-
feet on the ornaments Of the world
and that at present Germany can hard
~ be expected to become party to a
like treaty. said Mr.. Foster. Never
theless, as unlimited arbitration is ex-
tended among the nations, its bene-
fcial effect must become more and
more apparent, and even. the German
government must eventually find the
modus vivendi with peaceful nations
which will enable it to restrict its ar
mament and cease to be menace to
the world.

Washington, May 25.-Legislative
activity today was confined to the SEN
ate end of the capitol where Senator
LaFollette for the fourth day held the
floor privilege with the expectation
that he would bring to a close his ex-
tended speech in opposition to Senator
VIM. Lorimer's retention of his seat.
The house, we'll up wit hits work
and with practically nothing to do un-
til such time as the Democratic caucus
to be held June /, shall have decided
upon a course regarding the wool

sion today.
A number of Democratic senator's
declared today in party caucus
called by Senator Martin that they
would support the LaFollette resolu-
tion which would place the conduct
OF the proposed inquiry into the cleo
ton of Senator Lorimer in the hands
OF a special committee of five new
senators rather than leave it with the
regular senate committee on privi-
leges and elections. A majority Of the
Democratic senators, however, are
said to be in favor of the so-called
Martin resolution, framed at a meet
ing of the Democratic steering COM
mittee several days ago. 1t was de-
clared today that the Martin resolu-
tion will have the support of the regu-
lar Republicans when it is offered as
a substitute both for the LaFollette
and the Dillingham; resolution. The
Martin resolution enlarges the scope
of the new inquiry to include the now
famous "jack pot" fund at SPRING
field.
The call was issued today by Repre-
sentative Rurleson, of Texas, chairman
of the party caucus. Several vacancies

cred.
Between now and the first week in
June no business will be transacted by
either house. Nothing of Importance
is before the house and nothing will
be ready for action until the caucus
has passed upon the WOOL bill. That
raw wool will not be placed on the
free list, there now seems to be no
doubt. The tentative draft OF the bill
will place on ad valorem duty on the
product, probably about five cents a
pound. which is cut of fifty per cent
from the present duty. Manufactured
woolens will be cut from thirty to
sixty per cent.

eating committees are busy during the

lowed by Premier Botha of South
Africa, then Sir Wilfrid Laurier and
Sir Frederick Borden. Other dele
gates followed quickly after calling at
the colonial Office. Premier Asquith
welcomed the gathering.
One of the first matters to be de-
cided is whether meetings shall be
open to the public. Certain matters,
such as discussions on imperial de-
fence, must necessarily be taken in
camera, but there seems a general
feeling on the part of the. overseas
delegates that matters of wide Inn
perial policy shall be threshed out, in
their preliminary stages at least, in
the full light of the day. The attitude

question has so far not been defined
but it may be anticipated that Premier
Asquith will be guided by the major

Sir Wilfrid Laurier assured the

Large forces Of police were on duty

accordance with the public expecta-

the first scene Of q. clamorous mani

neighboring quarters. Toward 8
o'clock the mob demonstration was at
its heighth. Shouts for Madero were
heard everywhere and professions
moved through the leading streets
bearing hugh portraits of the revolu-

fury of the, outbreak were made by
Madero's personal representative, Al

order continued, finding it's chief CEN

Arming themselves with rocks, the
mob bombarded the nearby buildings,
