 T think the undertaking that has been practioed in the magazines has been regarded Iby the Mexican people in a Pickwickian sense I don't think 1t has done much harm; don't think lit has hurt Mexican credit.
 q think this society can do useful work in counteracting the influence of this undertaking. much of which know at least Is misstatement We should have social and commercial re- ciprocity and this society can serve a very useful purpose by bringing the two countries closer together"

DISCUSS RECIPROCITY.
Canadian Parliament Will Keep Pace
 With American Congress.

Ottawa. Ontario. Feb. 16--To keep pace with the rapid progress of leg islation on the reciprocity agreement at Washington the government today decided to insist upon continuation of parliamentary debate on the ques- ticn instead of postponing it until next week
 The opposition continued to use the Champ Clark speech as a club against the government, despite explanations from Washington Their arraignment of the liberals on the ground that they were about to take a step that would lead to the breaking of ties that bound the empire together was met by pa triotic response from the government side when Mir. P;igsley. minister Of public works. announced that here after the British flag would be unfurl- ed every day in all public buildings in the dominion. lIIoughton Lennox (con- servative) attributed to the United States the anterior motive of seeking to separate Canada from the mother with a final view of annexation.
 This is the scheme of great DO litical combination" declared Mir. Lennox. It was put up by Laurier, concured in by Asquith and promoted by Taft. Each as something selfish at stake. Laurer wants something Jo make the people forget the blunder of his naval policy. Asquith wants to kill the Chamberlain preference propa ganda and Taft is out to get good thing. It will be pretty hard for the Canadian people to get their rights Tn a three ecornered arrangement Of this kind.'

 PANESE
JAMES w. PORCH THINKS UNITED STATES SHOULD BUILD MFR
 CHANT MARINE.
Rumored Japanese Plan to Carry American Commerce Through Panama Canal Presents Com
 merciaI Problem.

Washington, Feb. 16--American in- genuity and effort should be concen- trated to prevent the commerce of tho United States from being carried un- der the Japanese flag through the Pan- anna Canal, in the opinion of James w. Porch. who addressed the Fan Americai Commercial Conference on behalf of the Progressive Union, the Board of Trade and the Merchants andn Manufacturers Association or New Orleans today.
 Mr Porch referred to the project of the Japanese to build vessels to transport goods directly from the Att lantic Coast of the United States via the Panama Canal to the Orient and likewise from the Pacific Coast of this country to Europe and South America He declared the charge that the Amer. jeans could not build steamships as cheaply as foreign countries was not true.
 Let Old Glory carry the commerce of the United States to South Amer ica said MT. Porch, "and we will broaden the Monroe doctrine America for Americans.
 MT. Porch urged the delegates not to send ''peddlers" into South Amer ioa 10 ,.a,,raunnt fhox, 1s.t a. ht<< q, <,, chants and commercial missionaries z Sensation was developed early in the day by the remarks of Francis J Lowe of New York. who read an af- fidavit of importing that the bureau of statistics of tle department of com merce and labor was giving out mIs- leading statistics on the export trade of the United States. 0. P. Austin, chief of the bureau of statistics, had Just finished giving statistics on the trade of the United States with Latin American countries when Mir. Lowe presented an affidavit made by Chas S. Price, formerlya confidential clerk III tht bdi tdus NHitA Sitot SUI tttNt while employed in the bureau instruc- tions had been issued in regard to the exports of manufactures which would tend to mislead the manufacturers nf the United States as regards exports of actual manufactures"
 The affidavit further averred that proof could be shown by referring to schedule E of the bureau "in which raw materials are described as 'ws1oi. Iy or part manufactured and which makes a tremendous difference in the declared exports of manufactures wholly"
 MT, Austin denied the charges in statement issued later declaring that the manufactures were properly classi- fled and that schedule F, included only manufactures ready fir con sumption"

used for a similar purpose for the last thirty years. Concluding, he said:
 The negro has been used as a political football about as long as our own sense of decency and his de Neloping intelligence will permit. We should no longer mistreat him. but We should have the courage to inform nm as to the real situation. It does not benefit him to make him the sub lect of cur sophomoreic rhetoric. The coiored race has advanced to the point Where We well may dispense with the perennial distribution of soothing sy- rups and give them solid food in the way of facts. We should tell him the truth and conceal nothing.
 The negro is beginning to realize that the white man of the north is or the same race as the white man of Che south, and that in his blood is the dominion and power. He should know that while his slave chains have been broken the chains of industry are be- Ing forged around him and will con tinue to hold him unless he himself can break them. This badge was placed upon him by ais maker and it can be removed only by the negro himself with the aid of those who have the courage to tell him the truth. which is that we have the power to guarantee to aim the equal protection of the law and to protect him against discrimination. To attempt anything more would be ruinous to the colored man and demoralizing to the white political body. He must work out the problem under the constitution.
 When the exigencies of debate are over it will be found that no measure will be offered in the senate to pro tect any supposed right of the colored man anywhere. If those wo are inter. ested will turn to the constitution they will find there the universal rule of equality the only rule to be applied to the negro and the only rule under which we can begislate. If applied it will be proven to be the correct rule. the rule for all of us.'

BATTLE IS ON
 AT MEXICALI
INSURRECTo TROOPS SEEM TO HAVE BETTER OF CONFLICT
 UP TO THIS TIME.
American Troops Forbidden to Cross Borden Unless Under Specific
 Federal Orders.

Calexico, Cal, Feb. 16.-Screened by the smoke of still burning railroad bridge and smouldering Mesquite bushes the insurrectos began a move ment today evidently intended as an attack upon the Mexican federals.
 In the judgment of the United States officers, Governor Vegas men were repulsed yesterday. and appar- ently it is the intention of the rebel leaders, General Betrthold and Gen. Ieral Leyva to turn their advantage into a decisive victory. The rebel loss in yesterdays fight is now placed at five killed.
 Governor Vega. of Lower California, was in personal command of the at lacking forces. He was reported to be among the moitally woun ed of the Ifederals, but this has not been con firmed.
 The rebels had all the advantage of position. Berthold and Leyva placed 1900 armed and unarmed men in zig gag line across the arroyos leading to the New River. From this protection they poured d heavy fire into Vega s troops. The latter displayed much dar- ing. Once they charged the rebel po- sition but, being outnumbered, they were easily forced back.
 The insurgents have further ad- vantage in the attendance of an Amer
 can army surgeon and the civilian physicians of Calexico.
 The federals are believed to be without medicinal facilitieis.
 General Berthold, the American so- cialist, second in command of the re- bel force holding Mexicali, blew up the railroad bridge last night and fired another to the eastward of Mexicali today This was done. he said, to inn pede the progress of the federals. who were believed to be coming to Mexi- cali by way of Yuma
 The rebel commander was some what resentful of what he terms the evident intentions Of the govern ::s.se.,,,t at Washington to grant the Diaz troops advantages not enjoyed by the insurrectCs.
 General T. H. Bliss, U. s. A, com manding the department of Califor- nia, arrived here today.
 request was made on him by of ficials of the California Development Company, which supplies irrigation waters to the Imperial Valley. to send troops to safeguard their property. General Bliss telegraphed to Wash ington for instructions and received the response that not single Amer lican soldier was to cross the boun- dary line without direct instructions from Washington.

denied the confession and made SC many erratic statements that he came to be thougt practically insane. Much evidence was adduced, however, to show that he and De Lassy had very intimate and had dealings together. At the end of the trial De Lassy was quite overcome. He attempted to make speech to the jury, but ended abruptly by saying:
 T cannot talk I leave the fate of myself and relatives to your minds and your hearts,"
 The jury was out three hours.

 MT. Moore proceeded to pay q glow ing tribute to Captain Peary, saying that his attainment of the pole had come at the end of twenty y-three years of laborious work and unknown hard ships. Peary, he said, had brought back scientific information coveted by all the ether countries of the world
 He took Mir Macon sharply to task for his praise of foreign heroes and his Unjust remarks" about a son of America. MT. Moore said he resented the terms 'fakir" and "loafer' applied to Captain Peary by MT. Macon.
 Representative Saunders, of vir- ginia, spoke briefly in support of Cap- tain Peary. He derlared there was nothing to uphold MT. Macon's at- tempt to discredit Peary's story Sub jected to every test, he ascertained that Captain Peary's story stands out clean.'
