RECIPROCITY

QUESTION is FINALLY
SETTLED.
Mr., TAFT DELIGHTED
BITTER STRUGGLE EXPECTED IN
THE SENATE OVER
WOOL TARIFF.

Washington.-By a vote of SO to %
the reciprocal trade agreement be-
tween United States and Canada en-
bodied in the reciprocity bill that
proved a storm center in two sessions
of Congress, passed the Senate without
amendment.
A majority of Republicans voted
against it. OF SO votes for it, 80 were
Democrats and 81 Republicans; of the
81 against, "a were Republicans and 3
Democrats.
This action settled the whole Ca
madam reciprocity question so far as
Congress is concerned, and save for
executive approval and the Canadian
parliaments ratification, virtually
made the pact the law of the land.
Congressional practice will delay the
affixing of the Presidents signature.
The bill, having originated in the
House, must be returned there for
engrossment and for the signature of
Speaker Clark while the House is sit
ting.
The Canadian parliament has not
yet acted on the agreement and with
one exception, the provisions of the
bill as passed by Congress, will not
become effective until the President
issue a proclamation that Canada has
ratified the pact.
The exception to this procedure is
in the paper and pulp section of the
bill, which it is announced will become
al nf plp aff yrh hn
dent signs the law.
An analysis of the vote showed that
twenty four Republicans voted against
the bill and twenty-one in favor of it,
while three Democrats voted against
and thirty-two in favor of it.
81 am very much gratified and de-
lighted that the bill passed. said Pres
ident Taft. 1T indicates the Increase
of ltually beneficial relations be
tween Canada and this country"
The President received many con-
CALCULATIONS before departing for Bev'
erly to spend the week end. In reply
to these he declared he was gettinS
entirely too much credit out of the
matter, and that Secretary Knox real
ly was entitled TO the greatest praise.
Senator Penrose ventured the pre-
diction that Congress would adjourn
not later than August 9th or 10th.
A bitter struggle is expected in the
Senate over the wool tariff. A wool
revision bill already has passed tho
Democratic House. Several substitutes
have been offered in the Senate and I
vote will be taken.
The wool bill was made the unfin
ished business and was taken up i'm
mediately There were many ex-
changes of views on this bill, espe-
cially among the Democrats. and 4
suggestion for a caucus was made.
Nothing is settled, but the indica-
lions are there will be a Democratic
conference before the vote on the bill.
The indications also are that the
House bill will be voted down with
out effort to amend it. and that sub
sequently the La Toilette wool bill,
already introduced in the Senate, MAJ
be adopted as an amendment to the
House free list bill, 10 be finally dealt
with when the free list vote is taken
August LIST.
No sooner had the reciprocity bill
passed than senators began to pre-
pare for the attack on the tariff.

BEETLES DESTROY TREES.
More Disastrous to Southern Pine
Than Forset Fires.

Far greater destruction to mercantile
southern pine beetle than could result
from forest fires. according to the United
States bureau OF entomology. lnvestisa-
lions by that bureau Of the Department
of timber has been killed by the south
ern pine beetle during the past two
years." The agents of the bureau have
been particularly active In studying the
character and extent of these depreda-
tons since the establishment several
months ago of an insect field station 1T
Spartanburg, S. c.
1T has been found. said DR.. l.. o.
Howard. chief of the bureau. that
each patch of dying trees, with
their fading and greenish brown tops,
located anywhere in the southern states,
is a menace to the living pine within u
radius of three or four miles. The
southern pine beetle developing in the
bark OF the trees of one such center of
Infection may swarm In any direction
and settle In the healthy timber. When
those centers of infestations are numer-
GUS within a certain area they can only
be conn AIRED with the starting OF SO
many forest fires. They demand similar
prompt and radical action.
The dying and dead trees are con-
spicuous by their fading red. black or
denuded tops, plainly indicating the
presence of the beetle or the progress of
its work.

more destructive to crops than the rat.

them of reptiles and other vermin. 1t is
such a quick little scamp that snake

1t eats snakes and grows fat on them.
All this has led the Hindu TO believe it
immune from snake poison. Science has
shown. however, that its immunity. lies
in its ability to dodge the snakes fanSs.

ITS OWN HIGH EXPLOSIVES.
Government to Establish Manufac-
tory in New JERSEY.

Having perfected the manufacture of
smokelesS powder and embarked upon
the production of that important naval
requisite on large scale at the Indian
Head powder factory, the Navy Depart
ment is now about to enter upon the bust
ness of making it's own high explosives
To this end the sum of S20.1G0 has been
set apart for the construction of a plant
at Picatinny arsenal. \. j., and at that
place. under the direction of naval Of
fcers, will be manufactured the various
enormously high explosive
compounds used to fill the naval shells.
At present these explosives are pur-
chased, and it is hoped that by a demon
stration of the actual cost of their pro-
duction the government will be enabled
to obtain much better terms from con-
tractors.
