reached the track. He whipped up the
horses, but the wagon was only half

Canada Defeats Reciprocity.

The Laurier government and the reci-
procity agreement with the United
States, suffered an overwhelming defeat
in the Canadian elections, Thursday.
The liberals, standing for reciprocity,
had 1874 members in the old parliament
against 81 conservatives; in the new
parliament the conservatives will have
1872 members against 81 liberals. The
election was, therefore, a political land
slide in contest wherein reciprocity
was. the sole issue, which indicates that
the reciprocity agreement will surely be
defeated.

WILL PASS WOOL BILL
This Action by Senate Predicted After
Series OF Conferences.


Washington, July 26.-As the result
of a series of conferences held the
prediction was freely made in the SEN
ate that the upper house of congress
tomorrow would adopt the house wool
bill.
This will put the wool issue squarely
up to President Taft Democratic
Leader Underwood served notice that
the house would not accept the La
Toilette bill.
While President Taft in recent
speech denounced schedule X, wool
and woolens, of the Payne-Aldrich law
as 'indefensible," he also has indicat-
ed that he would prefer to have a re-
vision of the schedule to await the re-
port of the tariff board, promised In
December. The president has not def
nitely indicated, however. that he will
use the veto power.
The positive statement was made
by senators processing to know that at
| least five insurgent Republicans and
one regular Republican would take the
house measure if they could not get
the LaFollette bill.
This would insure a majority for
| that measure. The Republican leaders
also received this information and
several of them expressed the opinion
| that the house wool bill would pass
the senate.
| Senator Poindexter predicted that
the house bill would in the end be ac-
cepted. He said he would vote for the
LaFollette measure as substitute,
but in case of it's failure he would
! cast his ballot for the house bill. He
said that Senators Clapp, Brown and
others felt as he did.
