RAPS RECIPROCITY.
Cannon Declares Canadian
Pact is Dangerous.
TREATY MADE IN SECRET
Former Speaker Says 1t Violates the
Constitution and is a Men
ace the Country's
Prosperity.

Washington. April 20.-"Not since
The war with Spain and all that fol
lowed II has there been considered By
the house OF representatives so I'm
poriant a bill as the one now pend.
ing
such was the declaration OF former
Speaker Cannon in a speech in oppo-
sition to Canadian reciprocity.
ION the action OF the house, he
asserted, rests the we'll being and
prosperity Of all the people Of the
United States. Is it proper on slight
consideration to yitalize into law an
agreement that Affects the prosperity
OF every home in the land?'
Mr Cannon declared that the agree
ment had been made in secret. The
country. the senate and the house had
actually nothing to do with its prepa-
ration.
NO member Of this house. said
Mr. Cannon. had opportunity to know
anything about 1t until the house re-
ceivod notice in the presidents mes
sage, accompanied by the bill Itself,
that it was expected to pass the meas
urc"
Mr.. Cannon reviewed the develop
ments Of middle and western America
during the last century
Il am not an old man." he said,
amid the laughter Of the house, but
| can remember when this country
had but seventeen million inhabit-
ants. Now it has close to a hundred
million
immigration and development had
brought rich new lands into cultiya-
ton, he said: railroads had by cheap
freight rates placed them in touch
with the great eastern markets; and
the value of New England and New
York farm lands had gone steadily
down. unable to meet the competi-
don.
The opening of new Canadian lands,
with American markets open to the
produce, would have the same effect
on the west, ne DcleFeu.
Democratic insurgency against the
reciprocity program had its innings
when Representative Gudger, Of North
Carolina, one Of the six avowed Dem
ocratic opponents Of the agreement,
replied to the recent speech OF Repre-
sentative Kitchen, also OF the Tar
Heel state-whom he charged with
marching side by side with the enemy
Gudger asserted that reciprocity was
not a Democratic but a Republican
policy. q. He was given an opportunity
to make the speech by Chairman I'm
derwood, but he received applause only
from the Republican side. The six
Democratic insurgents say that their
strength will be increased to nine or
ten against reciprocity when the final
vote is reached.

PEACE IS NEAR
ArmistiCe in Mexico Will
Probably be Accepted.
HIGH TENSION IS RELIEVED
Ambassador Wilson Wires the State
Department That the War
Will Cease and Peace
Negotiated.

WASHINGTON. April 20.-The posi-
bility OF an armistice to arrange peace
negotiations in Mexico was confirmed
by the kilograms received by the state
department from Ambassador Wilson
at Mexico City.
With the receipt at the state depart
ment of adyices confirming the report
that negotiations for an armistice be
tween the federal and rebel forces are
in progress, the opinion was expressed
that opportune action had been taken
BIZ both sides in the Mexican reyolu.
ton to prevent complications with the
United States.
DR.. Vazquez Gomez. head OF the con
iideutial agency OF the reyolutionists,
and intermediary between the rebel
forces in the field and the Mexican
government, refused to discuss the
proposed armistlce DR. Gomez has
taken the attitude that the armistice
proposal in no way indicates tina. the
insurgents have relented in their de
mands for reform.
He is said 10 have con en,ed to sub
Uniting the armistice to his Oh ef
Francisco |. Madero. Jr., as we'll as 20
the Mexican government. with a VieN
TO preventing danger to american
lives and property at FL Paso. Tex
which would be menaced by the at
tack planned on Juarez. Mex. directly
opposite, across the Rio Grande.
The fact that negotiations for an
armistiCe have been confined TO the
state OF Chihuahua and the northern
part Of Sonora. is interpreted IN two
ways. On the one hand, il is believed
that the rebels are proposing a par
tlal laying down of arms to enable
them to maintain their fight in other
states, though consenting at the same
time TO inactivity along the American
border. On the other hand. a strong
belief exists that Francisco l. Madero
Jr., has little control over the people
who have risen in revolt in other
states.
The Mexican government however
it is said. Is hopeful Of the moral ef
feet of inactivity by the Madero forces
in chihuahua, and has taken pains T.
spread throughout the republic news
of the proposed armistice, believing
that a temporary cessation of hosiili-
ties Will become general. II was ru-
mored also that with the setting forth
of definite proposals from the reyolu
tionists the possibility Of an agree
ment for the abdication Of President
Diaz within a certain period was not
at all unlikely. The proposals, II is
known, are TO be received by the
Mexican cabinet and laid before Pres
ident Diaz himself
The statement Of DR.. Vazquez Go
mez, the Mexican rebels agent that
negotiations for an armistice are un-
der way between him and the Mexi-
can government, was confirmed by a
telegram received by the state depart
ment from Ambassador Wilson, the
American envoy to Mexico.
