HOUSE ADDRESSED
BY COUNT APP0NYI
Hungarian Nobleman Also
Calls on President Taft.

Count Albert Apponyi. former speaker
of the house of representatives of Hun
gary, former Hungarian minister Of edu-
cation, and one of the most distinguished
statesmen of his country, was Washing
toms guest Of honor yesterday. AL
though presented to President Taft yes
terday morning and entertained at va
rious functions during the day, Count Ap-
ponyi seemed particularly pleased with
his reception by the House Of Repre-
sentatives, which recessed during the
consideration of the important reappor-
tonment bill in order that he might be
welcomed to the body by Speaker Can
non, and make a speech to the members
from the Speakers rostrum.
Count Apponyi was accompanied to the
Capitol by Baron Hengelmuller, the Aus
trian Ambassador who also went with
him on the floor. After Speaker Can
non had introduced him and he had re-
piled. the count held an impromptu re-
ception on the floor for ten minutes
Then he went to the Senate, where he
occupied seat beside Vice President
Sherman. watching the proceedings of

moved that the speech of the distin-
suished visitor be incorporated in the
official record of the days proceedings.
This was adopted unanimously.
During his brief stay on the floor the
count proved himself a linguist by talk
ing English, French, Hungarian, and
German with members familiar with
those languages. After leaving the floor
Count Apponyi went to the room of the
Committee on Foreign Affairs. where he
held a reception to the members of the
House press gallery.
Count Apponyi reached Washington
Wednesday evening, and is a guest of
Baron and Baroness Won Hengelmuller at
the AuStro-H H ungarian Embassy. He was
the luncheon guest of Ambassador James
Bryce at the British Embassy yester-
day. and last evening was a guest at
reception dinner in his honor at the
Austro- Hungarian Embassy
President Taft quit writing reciprocity
speeches long enough yesterday morning
to receive Count Apponyi. The President
was not in his Office, SO Count Apponyi
and Ambassador Hengelmuller were re-
ceived in the White House proper. The
President chatted with his guests for
half an hour.
Count Apponyi also called at the State
Department and was introduced to Secre-
tary of State Knox by Ambassador Hen

CALLS RECIPROCITY
GREAT IMP0STURE
Premier Asquith Uses Harsh
Words in Parliament.

London. Feb. s.--The reciprocity agree
Canada was again the leading topic in
the House Of Commons to-day when the
debate was resumed On the address in
reply to the speech from the throne.
The Right Hon. Alfred Lyttelton,
Unionist, former secretary of state for
the colonies, was the first speaker He
twitted the Liberals on their reluctance
to put their free trade theories into p-ac-
uce in their own business.
Premier Asquith absolutely denied that
tariffs gave foreign admission to colonial
markets on easier terms than to Great
Britain.
The common sense and political hon.
esty of the British electors, he added,
had saved them from adopting what
would be one of the greatest and most
disastrous impostures of modern times.
Former Premier Balfour said the i'm
posture" had received the Endorsement
of every colonial premier Sir Wiffrid
Laurier himself had pressed 1t upon the
government The premier's accusation
that half the population of the United
Kingdom was a party to imposture
struck equally every great party in every
great self-governing colony of the en-
pire. The government refused to treat
the colonies better than it treated for
eign nations. That was the difference
between the government and the oppo-
sition.
He was certain the verdict Of history
would favor the oppositions view that
it would be better to treat the colonies
more favorably than foreign nations. If
the government had met the offer made
by Canada to all the colonies at the i'm
perial conference of 1907. when Canada
said. I'VE put all our hopes on British
trade now." and had replied. I'VE will
support your efforts to make the stream
of trade run east and west" there would
have been less chance now Of any far
teaching agreement between the United
States and Canada
