Countries for Calendar Year 1910.
Atlanta, Ca, April 13.-Figures
compiled by the Southern Railway
Company from the reports of the

Department of Commerce and Labor,
on imports and exports during the

tries amounted to $278, ,287, SIT, an in
crease of s42, ,737, ,943, or 18.1 per cent.

the importance Of the Latin-American
markets and of direct steamship COM
munication by our Southern ports.
That the value of these markets is
attracting the attention of our Cana
dian neighbors is indicated by re-
port of the Argentine consul at Can
ada that steamship line is to be in

Hearst Bryan's Ally.

Washington, April 13.-Considerable
interest is felt in Democratic circles
over the burying of the hatchet be
tween William Randolph Hearst and
William Jennings Bryan, both OF
whom have been in Washington for
several days.
While here Hearst and Bryan met
at dinner given by Nathan Straus,
of New York, who is quoted on au-
thority for the statement that in the
future Hearst and Bryan will work
in perfect accord and amity.
Hearst and Bryan also met, it is
said, at a luncheon given by Gen. Mel
son A. Miles, and made plain the res
toration of friendly relations between
them.
Colonel Bryan and Mr.. Hearst Z
said Mr.. Straus, will in the future
work together They have agreed to
forget their differences and present
united front to the country was
extremely glad to hear them talk
along the same lines and working to-
gether.'
Mr.. Hearst, before leaving here yes
terday, paid a tribute to Champ Clark
and expressed his belief in the bright
| ness of Democratic prospects.
sThe present promising conditions
! in the Democratic party" he said,
shave been brought about by the fact
that the Democratic party under the
leadership Of Champ Clark has had
the courage to be progressive and the
intelligence to be sound in its De
mocracy.''
This sentiment, coming from MT
/ Hearst. started the suggestion that
one of the things upon which he and
Colonel Bryan are in accord is the
presidential nomination of Mr.. CLARK.

With favor upon Clark's aspirations
in this direction and Hearst's state

TOMORROW
CANADIAN TRADE AGREEMENT
WILL THEN BE CALLED UP in
THE HOUSE
WILL BE in SENATE SOON

Washington, D. c., April 13.-
When the Canadian reciprocity bill is
called up tomorrow by Chairman I'm.
derwood of the Ways and Means
Committee, there will be no effort
made to limit debate, unless the
minority should demand an unrea,
sonable time.
Probably not more than four days
debate at the most will be given, and
it will be passed by large majority
in the House and sent to the Senate
within week. There will be no
amendment offered from the Demo
cratic side.
Free List Bill to be Changed.
The free list bill, to be called up
after The passage of the reciprocity
bill, is also a caucus measure and
cannot be amended by the party i'll
charge of it. Under the new rule
adopted by the Sixty-second Congress
no general tariff amendments can be
offered by the minority, because each
amendment must be germane to some
particular item in the bill.
Both Measures Ready for Senate in
Two Weeks.
Considerable debate is expected -oD
this bill, but the Democratic leaders
expect IS at bolts caucus measures viii
be ready for the Senate within two
weeks. The articles designated by
this bill for the free list would make
difference, as compared with the
present duties and revenues of less
than a million and half dollars.
