LOVE FEAST CLOSED REUNION
President Tells Veterans That a World
Arbitration Pact Is Abou5 To Be

Trip TO War Conditions.

Manassas, Va, July 22.-Mud be- /
spattered after a strenuous trip from !
Washington by automobile over flood |
ed roads and swollen creeks, Presi- !
dent Taft yesterday faced an audi !
ence made up in part of veterans who
wore the blue and grey within a few
miles of the scene of the first great
conflict of the civil war and was ap-
plauded and cheered when he made a
plea for international peace.
The President declared a general ar
bitration treaty both with Great Brit
ain and with France probably will be
signed within the next ten days. He
added that he hoped within the next
| few days to announce that the three
other great powers would enter into
similar agreements with the United
States. He did not go so far as to in
dicate the nations he had in mind but
it was generally believed that he re-
ferred to Germany, Italy and the
Netherlands. Japan ultimately may
come into the far-reaching pact, but
the negotiations with that empire as
yet are said to be merely tentative.
Abandons Motor For Train.
President Taft reached Manassas
late after a tempestuous trip. 1t was
so strenuous that the Presidential
party abandoned their motors here
and returned to the capital by train.
Mr.. Taft laughingly likened his trou-
bles in getting to Bull Run to those
that some of the men had so years
ago in getting away"
81 brought some Senators and Rep
resentatives down with me from
Washington" he said. "and because of
the exigencies of the road and the
storm and strife of the elements, we
came far more slowly than some Sena-
tors and Representatives who came
down here half a century ago went
back"
The Presidents visit to Manassas
was at the close of the Manassas iubi-
lee reunion, whic' began Monday.
Each day this week there have been
services commemorative of stirring
war events, but today occurred the
most dramatic incident of the week
the advance of veterans in blue and
gray to meet and shake hands where
they had fought fifty years ago
Love Feast Where Guns Roared.
Three hundred and fifty-six ex-Con-
federates formed in double line facing
north, while dozen yards away
stood half the number of Union
veterans facing south.
i At a signal the veterans advanced
with outstretched hands. Above the
Southern line waved a small Virginia
J flag, the only standard to be seen

5 hands stood for five minutes grouped

Washington, d. c., July 22.-The
passage of the Canadian reciprocity
bill by the Senate today in precisely
the same form as it emerged from the
House will bring to an end President
Taft's long fight for the measure, but
during the debate party lines have
been swept away
Opponents of the measure made a
vigorous fight to saddle the bill with
riders and amendments which its
friends claim would have meant the
defeat of the whole proposition.
The Amendment of Senator McCum-
ber, of North Dakota, reducing the
duties on many of the necessities of
life and increasing the free list, was
the first taken up and it was defeated
by a vote of sixteen to sixty-four.
La FoIletteTs Speech.
Senator La Toilette featured in the
speech-making yesterday with vigor
GUS arraignment of President Taft and
the bill. He attacked the Democrats
of the Senate on the ground that they
were deliberatly trying to carry the
tariff issue over to the next cam
paign for political purposes, and
pointed out that the Democrats hat
consistently voted down amendments
proposing general tariff reductions
Their excuse, he said, had been tha
the president would not sign the reel
procity bill if it was encountered witt
any general tariff amendments.
