Rt. Rev. o. w. Whitaker
Passes Away at Age of 80.
ATTACK OF GRIP is FATAL
Was Head Of the Episcopal Diocese
of Pennsylvania.
CHURCHMAN OF BROAD VISION
Native of Massachusetts, He Was
Ordained Priest in 1863-Lived
Long in Nevada.

PHILADELPHIA. February .. The
Rev. OH w. Whitaker, Bishop Of
he Protestant Episcopal diocese Of Penn
sylvania. died at his residence here at
noon today.
| He had been in feeble health for a. long
time, and death was due principally to
exhaustion, following severe attack of
grip, and to old age. Had he lived until
May 10 Bishop Whitaker would have been
eighty-one years old.
The serious turn in his illness came
about a week ago. He showed slight i'm
provement at times until late last night,
when he fell into a sleep from which he
could not be Weakened. DIR. John III. Cir
vim, his attending physician, said that
death was peaceful and without pain. At
his bedside when he passed away were
two nieces and other relatives. His wife
died In June, 1905.
Beloved by All.
BISHOP Whitaker was churchman of
broad vision and was greatly beloved
both within and without the diocese.
He was born in New Salem, Mass. and
prepared for the priesthood at Middle
oury college,, Vermont. and at the
AAiSoio6ACal ScAlHdTy, New
York He was ordained in 1868 by
Bishop Eastbourne. He served two
years at st. Johns Church, Gold Hill,
New: went to st. Paurs Church, Engle-
wood. n. j.. for q short time, and re-
turned to Nevada, where he was rector
of ST. PauPs Church in Virginia City.
In 1869 he was consecrated mission
airy bishop Of Nevada. In those early
days In Nevada it was not uncommon
to be compelled while preaching to
have the members of his CONGREGATION
stack their arms in the vestibule Of
the church. to be used in protecting
themselves against the lawless element
that ro3med the state.
Came to Pennsylvania in 1885.
In the face Of many difficulties, Bishop
Whitaker rendered yeoman service in
Nevada. He was made Misrepresentation
of the Pennsylvania diocese in 1885, and
in the following year, upon the death OF
Bishop Stevens came into the full hon.
ors.
For a number Of years past he had
been unable to attend to all the duties
OF the large and important diocese and
was partly relieved Of the burden by the
Rev. Alexander Mackay-Smith. rector Of
a prominent Washington church, who
was made coadjutor bishop. Two months
ago he transferred nearly all his active
duties to Bishop Mackay-Smtth.

President in Dead Earnest in
Reciprocity Contest.
DEMANDS A SQUARE VOTE
Responsibility to Rest Where It Be-
longs if Senate Rejects Agreement.
TO INVOKE PUBLIC OPINION
Influence to Be Tried Out in His
Ohio Speeches Tomorrow
and Saturday.

The reciprocity campaign went on from
the White House today with renewed
vigor. The gigantic machinery a Pres
ident is capable of putting in motion
whenever he desires is being gotten under
way for a short and sharp contest and
FINAL victory in Congress
President Taft has never before been
more earnest in his purposes than in
this. For months he has often been
against what appeared to be the tide Of
popular thought. He has felt the sting
Of newspaper criticism and knows it's
depressing effect Now he finds the
great majority OF tho newspapers of the
country with him. Letters and tele-
grams from individuals and organiza-
tons tell him that he has struck popu-
lar chord. Inspired. therefore, by his
own sense OF right and backed by popu-
lar opinion he is waging, in his own
quiet way. the strongest contest with
Congress he has ever engaged in.
Feels Confident of Result.
The President is confident that Con-
gress will approve the Canadian reci-
procity agreement before the 4th of
March. The House is certain with the
vote. The Senate is the stumbling
ground. That the Senate may be
brought into line the varied and inn
portant influences of the admin
istration are being used in the direc-
ton Of what seems to promise success.
Besides the direct influence Of the chief
executive in the Senate. the power Of
public influence is to be tried out by
speeches to be made by the President
tomorrow and next day. by statements
coming out from the Secretary of
Agriculture and by a speech Secretary
Wilson is to make before the Ellicott
Club of Buffalo, February %, WASH
ington's birthday.
President Taft today Cancelled all en-
gagements in his Office and remained in
the private apartments of the White
House comforting with House leaders
about the reciprocity situation and in
writing the speeches he will deliver on
reciprocity in Columbus tomorrow and in
Springfield Saturday. Another reason
for remaining In the private portion Of
the White House is that the President
has cold and his physician has advised
that he stay indoors as much as possible.
The cold will probably not interfere with
the President leaving Washington tonight
for his trip. AS a rule he throws off
common colds with ease and he expects to
do so this time.

CONGRESSIONAL ASSENT
EXPECTED BY SWANSON
Will Push Plan for Ceremonies
Here Celebrating Panama
Canal Opening.

Upon assurances he received today
from the representatives OF the San
Francisco exposition now In the city.
Senator Swanson OF Virginia Is con-
fident that he will get Congress to
adopt his plan for a naval fete in
Hampton roads and official ceremonies
in Washington in celebration OF the
completion OF the Panama canal.
THE California people told me this
morning that they favor my plan"
Senator Swanson said. And they have
offered to help In getting 1t through"
Mr.. Swanson has not yet determined
upon the best method Of procedure to
insure prompt and definite action by
Congress. He may avail himself Of the
reservation made at the meeting or the
committee on industrial expositions.
when he voted for reporting the San
Francisco bill, and offer it on the Sem
ate floor as an amendment.
Nay Amend Naval Bill.
A more likely plan Is to have it incor-
porated as an amendment to the naval
appropriation bill. The representatives OF
the Frisco exposition and Senator Per-
kins OF California, who is In charge Of
the naval bill; were in conference this
morning, and some Of them later talked
with senator Swanson. The result was
that assurances were given by senator
fci kins that Ine amendment could be put
In the naval bill, and the California del
egatiOn piom.sed to urge their friends In
the House to support the amendment.
In view OF the vote against the Wash
ington proposition, as presented by Mr..
mcfarland to the committee on indus
trial expositions, Senator Swanson is of
the opinion that it cannot get the as
sent Of Congress, at least at this SEES
sion. AS his amendment was received
moro fayorably in the COMMITTEES. and
is not opposed by the friends OF Cali
lorna, ne thinks Washington should
get behind hts plan.
The Swanson Plan.
The Swanson plan contemplates the
assembling Of the fleets Of the world
at Hampton roads. a visit to Wash
ington by the foreign representatives
from those fleets, to be received with
ceremonies by the Presi-
dent and government officials at the
National Capital, and visit of the
PRESIDENT to Hampton roads to review
the fleets as they start on their journey
through tho Panama canal to San Fran
cisco.

Mr.. McCumber's Amendment.

An amendment by Senator McCunrber
was adopted which would require that
in estimating the cost OF production OF
articles subject to tariff legislation there
shall be Included the ''cost Of transporta-
ton from the place Of production to the
principal areas of consumption
The opposition of the democrats on the
committee was based on the plea that the
executive should not be empowered to
gather tariff information; that this func-
ton belongs to Congress, and that If a
commission Is desired 1t should be a con-
eressional body similar to the national
monetary commission.

What Policemen Were Doing.

The ensuing reports OF tho various po-
licemen in that neighborhood show that
one man was chasing away an organ
grinder and that another man was in an
alley. A bicycle beat has been estab.

known Caliph of Bagdad, which, says
Mai Sylvester, is placed there at the ex-
pense OF other sections. but which will

The metropolitan police had a plain

nights ago unbeknown to every one from

ognized the fact that this ain-clothes

Johnston, who went up Connecticut ave-
nue. to ind out whether the bluecoats

tour was q memorandum to the major
and superintendent Of police as follows:

The International Paper Company has
been flirting with the Quebec government
for similar concessions. The reciprocity
clause will give no announcement &c
such diversions of industry from the
500 per ton on print paper will confront
such products until the Quebec govern
ment removes the prohibition. The reve-
hue which the province now obtains on
shipped in manufactured form to the
United States will he diverted from the
QUEBEC treasury to the owners OF private
lands.
The pressure from holders of crown
lands limits upon the provincial authorl-
ties for an opportunity to reach the
greatest market in the world-that of the
United States-will be IRE sistible. and a
diplomatic victory in the removal of re-
strictions will have been achieved without
harshness, or coercion, or ill-feelinS or
any Sort Each side will obtain an adj
vantage and that is the element of good
trade
Our complete dependence on outside
sources for wood is shown in the fact
that we bought last year pulp wood and
pulps to the extent of 1,716 600 cords, in
order that we might make paper in
american paper mills as follows:
Pulp wood, 931, 600 cords: mechanical
pulp in cords, 22S 600 cords; chemical
pulp unbleached. 100000 cords: chemical

Insurgents Under Suspicion.

1t is suspected that the insurgents
Of the Senate. who have been caught
in a bad hole by the agreement. are
doing all within their power to have
farmer organizations oppose the treaty
SO as to give backing to their attitude
here.
The President had with him this
morning two members Of the ways and
means committee of the House-Rep-
resentatives Ellis of Oregon and Bou-
tell OF Illinois. He talked with them
as to the situation in the ways and
means committee on reciprocity. Mr..
Ellis is opposed to the agreement and
will vote against it when the vote is
taken in the committee. The infor-
nation at the White House, however,
is that the majority OF the ways and
means committee will report the
agreement The vote is expected to
be taken this afternoon, but owing to
the illness OF Representatives Payne
and Dalzell q vote may be delayed.
AS to the House the President has no
fear. His information is positive that
the agreement will be reported from the
ways and means committee and passed by
the House. As to the Senate, he Is in
formed that there are fifty-five senators
who will vote for reciprocity when a show
down is called. And it is the show down
the President insists upon He wants no
sandbagging of the measure In out-of-the-
way places at the Capitol. He wants an
open vote.

Wilson and the Farmers.

The speeches to be delivered in Ohio
and Illinois are to be the bulwarks Of the
administration support of the reciprocity
treaty. Secretary Wilson, as stated. will
get into the game from one standpoint
only. He is to handle the arguments go
ing the rounds that the farmers and
farmer organizations Of the country are
opposed to Canadian reciprocity. Mr..
Wilson, backed by figures he has got to-
gether, Is to show in his statement to-
morrow and in his Buffalo speech that
the farmers will not be hurt by the agree
ment between the two countries.
1t Is declared today by sources close to
the administration that the National
Grange, which Is being widely quoted as
opposing the agreement, has not acted
as an organization and that the entire
clamor has been made by a few Of the
officers of the organization who are per-
sonally opposed to reciprocity and are
seeking to have the organization back
their views. So far none of the local
lodges OF the oranges has acted. Presi-
dent Taft knows no better man to talk
to farmers than Secretary Wilson, and
he is sure that Mr.. Wilson's arguments
will be valuable. The farmers are about
the only class of people giving much trou-
BILE on the agreement. and the President
sible.
A correspondent has called the atten-
ton of the President to the fact that
at the meeting of the National Grange
last November the committee on reso-
buttons reported the position OF the
grange on the tariff. and these resolu-
lions We're adopted. One Of them was
as follows:
Resolved, That we favor the nego-
tiation Of commercial treaties that will
open up new markets for American
products and do away with the tariff

Passage Recommended by Finance
Committee by Strictly
Party Vote.

BY a strictly party vote, all OF the
democrats opposing. the Senate commit

vorably the bill passed by the House to
create q permanent tariff board. Several
important amendments were adopted.
One of the most important changes
made by the committee requires that

absolute control of the personnel.
The report to the Senate was made by
