Canada Annexation Bill
Aimed at ReGinrnGitV

LONDON, Feb. I.-Whether, as is sus-
pected in some quarters, Congressman
Bennett, of New York, had no more sin
lister motive than to embarrass the rec
iprocity forces in his own country, there
is no room for doubt that HIS Canadian
annexation resolution introduced in the
house OF representatives yesterday has
greatly disturbed certain minds on this
side OF the Atlantic.
So serious is the resolution taken by
the imperial preference party that 1t
will be made a subject of Interpolation
OF the government in the house Of COM
mons on February q. Premier Asquith
will be asked at that time If he intends
to send any communication on the sub
ject to the United States government.
The furry caused by Representative
Champ Clark's declaration that he hoped
to see the day when the American flag
would float over British North American
possessions had scarcely passed when the
cables brought Mr.. Benefits resolution
asking the president to enter upon such
negotiations with the British government
that he might deem expedient for the
annexation of the Dominion of Canada
to the United States. At once the dying
agitation In opposition to the United
States-Canadian reciprocity was re-
vived

SHEEHAN DENIES ALL
REPORTS OF WITHDRAWAL

NEW YORK, Feb 1S-Three reports
that William r. Sheehan had been In
formed he must withdraw his candidacy
for the United States senate lent sup
port to each other today by Mr.. Shee-
han himself denied all of them tonight
The first report had it that Charles
F. Murphy, tired of q hopeless fight
had given ten days to the man he has
supported for seven weeks. In which C
win or quit.
s'That report is absolutely untrue, y
said Mr. Sheehan tonight "Mr. Murphy
has told me nothing of the sort and Sc
far as know, he is supporting me with
out reservations"
The other two reports-one from Al
bany and one from the governors apart
ments in the Waldorf-ran that the gov
ernor had intimated to Mr.. Sheehan his
belief that the deadlock must continue
while Mr.. Sheehan remained candi-
date.
mo such intimation has been conveyed
to me, either directly or Indirectly" an
swered Mr. Sheehan to this report.
Governor Dix tonight would not see
newspaper men, but sent them word that
his position with regard to coercion OF
the legislature had not altered 1, but
neither had his efforts to find some prac-
ticable way out of the blind alley in
which the party now finds itself
Ever since January Is, when the gov
ernor first became convinced that the
deadlock could not be broken If the lines
first drawn were held, he has been striv-
ing to find a candidate acceptable to
both factions. In that respect the stu
alton today differed no whit from that
of a month ago.
Charles r. Murphy had not word to
say to any of the three rumors tonight

REPORTED NOT SERIOUS

ROME. Feb. 16-Pope Piux x. who is
experiencing an attack of influenza had
a comparatively calm night. his temper
ature having fallen during the night
from 100 to 80.
DIR. Giuseppe Petacoi, private physician
to his holiness, visited the sick chamber
this morning and remained a long time.
He considers the Illness is taking Its
normal course.
DR.. Ettore Marchiafava, consulting ply
stefan to the pope, has not been called
and this fact seems to indicate the case
is not serious. The patient, however, Is
suffering from inconvenience because of
a congestion of the bronchial tubes, with
some difficulty in breathing and increas-
ed respiration.
The fever having abated, DR.. Petacci
permitted his holiness to rise from his bed
this afternoon, but soon afterward advis-
ed him to return to 1t In order to avoid
fatigue and the possibility of taking more
cold, which might result in a relapse.

The other day I overheard two farm
ers talking of their experience with the
use Of commercial fertilizer on corn
Both had used the fertilizer on corn.
one had drilled It in with his seed with
corn drill He had left a few rows
without fertilizing and he said that he
could not see any difference between
this and where he had applied the fer
tilizer
He did not say whether there was
much or any vegetable matter in the
soil. but took it that the soil was
lacking in vegetable matter as he had
not turned any crops of clover or any
thing else under.
The other farmer had turned one or
two crops Of clover under. He said
that his fertilizer helped him to grow
clover and that he had grown red clover
so high that he could stick the heads in
his pockets without pulling them off.
He had applied fertilizer to his corn
and he left sure that he got SIS worth
Of grain for every dollar spent for fer
tilizer.
Both had bought their fertilizer from
the same man. One was satisfied with
his fertilizer, the other was not and
leave the reader to judge who was at
fault whether the agent who sold the
goods or the farmer who used them.
These experiences bring to mind an ex-
perience / had with fertilizer on corn
several years ago. I had a field that
had not been under cultivation for a
number of years.
It was badly run down and. / did not
expect heavy crop of corn. Part of the
field was plowed during the winter sea-
son and put to corn the next spring.
