SHEEHAN HIT
DIX BODY BLOW
Says Governor Refuses to AL.
low Majority Rule in the
Senatorial, Election l..

New York, March CATER consul
tation with his Tammany supporters,
William +. Sheehan' issued q state
ment today in which he accuses Gov
ernor Dix Of Constructing the election
of the regularly chosen candidate of
the party for United States SENATOR %
and says that he will not withdraw as
the Democratic caucus nominee.
Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany
leader, said Mr.. Sheehan's statement
spoke for itself. He would not add
to it.
The general belief of Tammany
leaders is that Sheehan will still hold
seventy-eight votes when the full ef-
feet of Governor Dix's letter has made
itself felt.
Friends Of Martin w. Littleton
pointed out today the real signifi-
canoe Of Mr.. Littleton's recent self
announced candidacy. They say Mr..
Littleton realized fully that, as mat
ters now stand, no United States SEN
ator to represent the state Of New
York can be elected without the sup
port of Murphy and Tammany hall
and that therefore, in his open letter
having antagonized Mr.. Murphy, he
does not expect his support and con-
sequently does not expect to be elect
ed senator. What he does expect
they say, is in the event Of revolt
against Murphy's leadership to be
able to say that he contributed to It.
The statement was as follows:
II regret to see that the Democra-
tic governor of the state has yielded
to the solicitations Of the small minor.
ity Of the party who for weeks have
been obstructing the election Of the
regularly chosen candidate Of the
party for United tSates senator.
THAT my position may not be mis-.
understood. / now repeat what I said
in my letter Of February % addressed
to the Democratic members of the leg
islature:
"'I shall remain as my party's can
didate for United States senator &C
long as the party desires me to do so
no matter what the personal conse.
quences to me may be. Nor will I, by
word or deed, do anything that will
justify the minority in their efforts to
Illustrate the declared will Of the ma.
jority. II, however, the majority OF
all the elected Democratic senators
and assemblymen shall sign call
requesting that the Democratic caucus
be reassembled. / shall loyalty abide
by the decision Of that caucus, and II
such caucus shall decide that another
than myself be chosen to carry the
party standard which I have been car.
rying since Jan. 16, 1911, + will give
to such cancidate my unqualified and
wholehearted support. but short OF
such action shall not be a party to
the destruction Of the principle Of ma
jority rule.'"

The motive of the manufacturing
opponents of reciprocity, it is held.
was stated to parliament with frank
ness which they are now said to re-
gret, by H. B. Ames, Conservative
member from Montreal, who has large
manufacturing interests.
He declared 1t to be absurd that
the farmers, with their products on
the free list. would long be content
to let the manufacturers continue in
the enjoyment of protection.
|. There is some evidence that this at
titude Of the manufacturers already is
developing a resentment among the
farmers Of Canada who are we'll Or
ganized and who, at the close Of last
year spoke to the Canadian govern
ment with united voices demanding
the fullest measure Of reciprocity
with the United States in farm pro-
ducts.
The chief officers of that organiza-
ton have given interviews endorsing
the reciprocity agreement and de-
nouncing the manufacturers' opposi-
tion to it. The farmers, it is expect
ed, will be heard from emphatically
at no distant date.
Both sides of the house concede
that reciprocity debate has yet many
days to run. Some of the Conser-
vative members declare they will
block further progress until the spe-
cial session of congress has taken
final action. It is predicted, however,
in other quarters that this prospect
may be changed by the speech which
Premier Laurier is preparing for de-
livery on Tuesday.
The latest canvass Of the situation
shows that were vote on the meas
ure taken today there would be prac-
tically solid opposition by the Conser-
vatives and only three reflections
from the Liberal ranks, so that rati-
fication by majority Of over forty
would result.
In official circles the fear has been
expressed that the incoming congress
being largely Democratic. will not
endorse the reciprocity legacy left it
by the expired Republican house, but
will seek to exact substitute radi-
cally different. Such action. it is af-
firmed. would disturb seriously con-
ditions in Canada and embarrass the
government in the work of promoting
reciprocity.

PASTOR QUITS
His Great Enterprises Are
Such Stuff As Dreams Are
Made Of

New York, March 6.-Frankly stat.
Ing the disappointment he had expert
enced in his ministry to the wealthy,
congregation Of the Fifth Avenue Bap-
tist church. the Rev. Charles f. Aked,
formally announced from his pulpit
yesterday that he had received a
unanimous and enthusiastic call to
the First Congregational church Of
San Francisco and said he had been
unable to find any good reason why
he should not accept. He regretfully
acknowledged his fears that the great
enterprises which he had hoped to
lead as pastor Of one Of the wealthiest
churches in America, popularity known
as the John d. Rockefeller church,
were only "such stuff as dreams are
made Of"
Notwithstanding the $4,000 salary
offered him when he came here from
Pembroke chapel in Liverpool, Eng
land, barely four years ago, and the
recent increase to $4,000, or his ties
Of friendship in the metropolis, he
did not see how he could contemplate
a permanent ministry here under
present conditions. He chafed under
the failure Of the church to provide q
larger ediflce and to undertake larger
enterprises. $50 far as we can see
today" he declared, "there 10 no fu.
ture for this church or for my minis
try"
He gave the Fifth avenue congrega-
tion the following days Of grace in
which to consider the situation before
he should say definitely whether he
would accept the call to the Pacific
coast.
Let those who love me. pray for
me-" he concluded, "that I may make
no mistake through erring judgment,
and for this church that It may both
interpret and accomplish the purposes

PARTY LEADERS
WERE SURPRISED !.
Few Thought President Would
Make Good Threat to Call
Extra Session

Washington, March 6-Notwith-
standing the positiveness with which
President Taft had declared repeat
edly in all but official language that
unless congress should enact legisla-
tion to put into operation the Cana
dian reciprocity agreement, he would
summon an extra session to resume
consideration of the subject, his full
fillment of that threat within two
hours of adjournment was an actual
surprise to many members Of that
body. 1t was especially so in the
senate. As late as an hour before
final adjournment Saturday promi-
nent senators and others about the
capitol made bets that there would
be no extra session.
Pressure nothing less than tre-
mendous had been brought to bear
upon the administration and upon
members Of congress to prevent the
calling of the extra session. Until
the last moment rumors were inces-
SAINT that way would be found to
avoid it. One Of the most persistent
was that there were in progress some
kind of negotiations between the
president and the Canadian govern
ment looking to the withdrawal Of
the agreement by one party or the
other so as to give excuse for with
holding the special call.
Another rumor was that there was
some kind of an understanding be-
tween the president and the Republic
can leaders in congress to the effect
that one or more of the great ap-
preparation bills, preferably the gen.
eral deficiency bill, was to be "lost in
the shuttle" so that the special ses-
sion would be unavoidable.
Still another was that the leaders
had determined to hold up some ap-
preparation in which the white house
was especially interested, in order to
force the calling Of the ertra session
project. The blockade Of the appro-
priation bills in the f1libusters in
both houses tended to give color to
those stories.
Some go so far as to say that II
president would actually make good
strenuous efforts to pass the reci-
procity bill Whatever may be the
degree or absence Of truth in any Of
these stories, there can be no doubt
that the issue Of the presidents extra
session proclamation met scant well
come at the hands Of those mem
bers of congress who. after the strees
of the past session. will barely have
time to 60 home for brief respite
and to adjust their affairs for anoth-
er session which many think will ex-
tend far into the summer. There are
those who believe it will be so long
as to leave only constructive re-
cess" before the regular session be-
gins in December.

G. l.. RAILROAD J
Canadian Line Is Seeking an
: Enrance to Ward County
City
49,. ~

Minot, N. D.. March 6.-The Grand
Trunk Pacific, one Of three great
transcontinental Canadian lines with
hundreds Of millions of capital back
of 1t, Is seeking an entrance into
Minot.
This Is the authoritative announce
ment which was made today and II
caused nothing less than a sensation
among business circles.
The announcement is not based
upon rumor or hot air, but comes
straight from headquarters. The
road is seeking an outlet into the
states, and If the business men OF
Minot through organization and CO.
operation show that the Canadian Of
f1cials will be welcomed into the
Magic city, the line will be sure
thing.
1t is all up to the business men OF
the city. This proposition means
hundreds Of thousands of dollars to
the business men of Minot and to
every resident Of this city.
1t means that with three big trans
continental systems, Minot will be
one Of the largest and most import
ant railroad centers in the whole
northwest.
The day the Grand Trunk Pacific
runs its trains into Minot, that day
every property owner in Minot will
be a big winner. and every industry
in Minot will receive a stimulus.
This big trans-continental system
will put Minot into direct communi-
cation with Hudson Bay, Saskatoon
Edmonton and all the large cities OF
Canada.
The Grand Trunk Pacific is al
ready working on its new line from
Prince Albert to the Hudson Bay
which means a short route for wheat
from the northwest to Europe.
1t will also bring Minot into direct
communication with the wonderful
Peace River country, an immense
empire which. as yet has not known
the touch of American civilization.
The Grand Trunk Is seeking an
outlet into the states for the great
grain fields which this road taps. and
is also looking for some Of the traffic
which the reciprocity treaty will
start towards northwestern Canada.
The plan is to build q cutoff from
Regina to Minot. or else to acquire
the Crosby branch OF the Great Nor
thern and build from Regina to the
nearest point on that branch. 1t is
understood that traffic arrangements
have been made with the latter road
to handle the business to and from
Minot
This would give an air line from
Minot to Prince Albert, via Regina
and place us in direct connection
with the new road from Prince Al
bert to Hudson's Bay. as we'll as with
the immense territory west and north
from Prince Albert.
The coming of the Grand Trunk
would give Minot increased import
ance as railroad center. and bring
many more people here, as this
would be the terminal Of the line.

CANADA PLEASED
WITH PRESIDENT
Call Of Reciprocity Session Of
Congress Gives New Hope
to Canadians

Ottawa, Ont, March 6-President
Taft's immediate call for an extra
session Of congress in April puts a
new face on the reciprocity situation
and may, in. the opinion OF some Of
the opponents as we'll as the cham
pions of the proposed agreement, save
the cause in Canada from any peril
it may have incurred by the failure of
the United States senate to endorse
the plan.
1t is generally conceded that If a
reciprocity session Of congress had
not been summoned and ratification
had been left to the regular session
next fall, the Canadian advocates Of
the plan might have been disheart-
ened and probably parliament would
follow the example of congress, leav-
ing ratification over to its chances at
the succeeding session.
The action of President Taft con-
siderably relieves the awkward situa-
tion created here by the failure Of
the senate to endorse the agreement.
The Liberal majority at Ottawa today
declare that Mr.. Taft has made good
for his government, the joint agree
ment that each party to the bargain
should use its best endeavors to Sc
ment.
However, the fight at Ottawa is by
no means concluded. There will be
a deal of opposition and as much de-
Tending before a vote is reached.
Both sides say today the government
is more than ever determined to put
the measure through and the opposi-
tion continues to show resolute
front to consummation.
Quick action at Washington, action
within a month or so of the conven-
ing of the extra session, will be neces-
sary to avoid complications. If con-
gress has not paved the way for par
lament by ratification of the agree
ment before May IL, when Sir Will
fred Laurier has arranged to leave to
If the Canadian parliament should
continue to fllibuster up to the time
of the premier's departure, it is
doubted that ratification should be
attempted in the absence of Laurier,
who is not only the ofiicial premier.
but the recognized leader on all big
questions Of policy.
Bitter Fight
The present opposition in parlia-
ment Is encouraged by an energetic
campaign which is being conducted by
manufacturing interests opposed to
the measure. Space for anti-reciproc-
ity articles is being bought in the
leading newspapers. both Liberal and
Conservative, boards of trade are be-
ing sounded and where 1t is found
that condemnatory resolutions will
succeed, meetings are arranged and
such resolutions carried.
The latest development is an anti
reciprocity league now being formed
in Montreal which is to be extended to
other industrial centers. No expense
is being spared to forward this move
ment and develop it to proportions
which will impress the supporters Of
reciprocity.
Annexation talk is practically ta-
booed. Its place has been taken by
expositions of the theme that reci-
