Washington, June 19.-Republican
opposition to the Canadian reciprocity
bill in the senate reached the stage ri
open revolt today. Led by Dixon of
Montana, who again failed in his de-
mand for an explanation or a speech
from some OF the Republican cham
pions of the measures. Republican op-
ponents declared If the bill passed
many Republicans would join the Dem
ocrats in an attempt to lower duties
on all manufactured products. Dixon
said when the corner stone is pulled
out of the system Of protective tariff,
when the farmers products are thrown
into the free market, while his pur-
chases continued protected, there viii
be many good protectionists in the Re-
publican party in the senate who will
vote to have the duties pulled down on
iron, steel, chemicals, cotton and other
things.
Other northwestern Republicans sig
nified by approving Dixon's words that
the passage of the reciprocity bill will
be attended with a flght that threatrns
to throw open the whole tariff subject.
Reciprocity came before the senate
today with the Root amendment mat
ter for immediate consideration. Root
said he would not be ready to discuss
the amendment until Wednesday. OPP
ponents of the bill demanded an ex-
PLANTATION or speech frOm some one IA
voring the measure. Several senators
said they would not speak against the
bill until they heard words in its sup
port. Root made a brief explanation
of his reason for Offering the amend
ment, which requires that Canadian
provinces remove any restrictions be-
fore wood pulp and paper are admitted
free. -
Williams of Mississippi, attacked the
amendment, contending that il 1t lie

the influence of the paper trust VIII
result in preventing its ever coming in
free. He said those who would con-
tinue to uphold the grip Of the Inter
national Paper Co. will vote for the
amendment, while those who wish to
remove its strangling hold will vote

been relieved over the entire belt with
the result that the condition OF the

been defrauded. Neither is it known
if there would be criminal prosecu>

the peculiar construction of the cut

opportunity for immense frauds on
comparatively small undervaluations.
A seizure of cutlery made in New
York on Saturday illustrates that fact
On 43 cases Of cutlery entered as hav-
