basin in Yellowstone national park

mer. Those familiar with the park
are unable to explain the phenomenon.
They say that as the geysers have
shown no diminution in activity, the
eruptions cannot be due to diversion
of steam and hot water from the rcgu-
lar outlets. They may indicate, how
ever, increasing activity to which the
geysers are due, and If such is the
case, it is possible another gey ser may
develop in the park.

support of the Can adian reciprocity

N ade his closing speech against the
bill in the sen ate today. He expressed
the belief that newspapers would sui.
fer loss of influence for the support
they have given to legislation in which
he said "they have direct money In
terest.'
Mr.. LaFollette referred to testimony
given before the finance committee Of
the senate, that a newspaper organt-
zation had sent out communication
to many papers urging them to favor.
ably treat the reciprocity agreement.
He deplored this attitude of the news.

senator's who are interested in labor
and mines. Let no newspaper here
after assail any senator because he
supports legislation in his own pecul'
i ar interest,"
Senator LaFollette further denounc'
ed the reciprocity bill as fraud and
deception on the voters.
He called the whole proposition q
"Confidence game,' and cited what be
said would result in loss Of $40, ,O00,'

states-Minnesota, North and South
Dakota-from the operations OF the

President Taft was severely criti

president was the first to ignore, dis
credit and repudiate the findings O
his own tariff board. He quoted from

there was no substantial difference II

products between this country ant
Canada.
"Thereby,' said Mr.. LaFollette

He referred to reports that the pre-

or other riders, and declared that th
president could not in good faith m ak

DAKOTA TRAIN ROBBERY.
Northern Pacific Passengers Held Up
By Armed Bandits.

GRAND FORKS, N. D., July 90
Train No. 2, the eastbound North
Coast limited on the Northern Pacific
railroad, was held up by three masked
robbers near Buffalo, N. D., about IL
o'clock last night. The robbers Sc
cured about $500 In cash by going
through the passengers, shot Engineer
S. P. Olson of Fargo twice in order
to make him stop the train, and made
a successful escape in an automobile
which they had awaiting them nearby.
The robbery was one of the most
daring ever perpetr ated in this part Of
the country and showed that the men
were not amateurs at the business.
When the train stopped at the high
bridge at Valley CityEthe three men
boarded it and went into the Gay
coach. Heavilylarmed and shooting
recklessly to intimidate the passen-
gers, they first lined the train crew up
at one end OF the car and then pro.
ceeded to search theIpassengers in the
day coach one by one. In all they Sc
cured about $500. from this part of the
robbery.
The sleeping car was entered aud in
order to awaken the occupants of the
berths shot was fired down the CEN
ter of the aisle, narrowly n missing the
head of one of the passengers.
After searching the occupants of the
berths the bandits climbed out of the
diner over the baggage and express
cars to the engine. When near Buffa.
10, they ordered Engineer Olson to
stop the train. Two shots we're fred
at him, one glancing off his watch and
the other striking him in the ribs. in
juring him slightly.
Seeing that the men were desper ate,
Engineer Olson stopped the train and
the three men who were all we'll m asked
with polka dot handkerchiefs, jumped
quickly from the train and ran to an
automobile and drove of in the dark.

FAVORS RECIPROCITY.
Nebraska Senator Urges Adoption
Of Trade Agreement.


WASHINGTON, July 10. - Both
branches OF congress we're In session
today. Canadian reciprocity speeches
by Messrs. Brown of Nebraska and
Works of California were the regular
order in the sen ate and Senator Stone
OF Missouri, who had expected to
speak yesterday in advocacy of the
agreement, may have the floor today
or tomorrow.
Criticism of his insurgent republi.

reciprocity and praise of the demo.

courage and patriotism to support and
sustain q republican principle, char
acterized the speech of Senator Brown
of Nebraska in favor of the measure.

PASSED RECIPROCITY BILL.
The Senate Gives Big Majority For
Canadian Pact.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The reci-
procal trade agreement between the
United States and Canada, embodied
in the reciprocity bill that proved a
storm center in two sessions of con-
gress, passed the senate without
amendment by vote of SO to q. A
majority of republicans voted ag ainst
it. Of So votes for it, 30 we're demo.
cratic and 2l republican. OF the p
against, "a were republican and three
democratic.
This practically settled the whole
Canadian reciprocity question so far
as congress is concerned, and save
for executive approval and the Cana.
dian parliament's ratification, vir.
tually made the pact the law OF the
land.
Congressional practice will delay
the af6xing of the presidents sigma.
ture until next Wednesday. when the
house is again in session. The reci-
procity bill, having originated in the
house, must be returned there for the
signature of Speaker Clark, while the
house is sitting.
The Canadian parliament has not
yet acted on the agreement, and with
one. exception the provisions OF the
bill as passed by congress will not
become effective until the president
issues proclaim alton that Canada
has ratified the pact. The exception
to this procedure is in the paper and
pulp section of the bill, which it ia
announced will be Immediately effec.
tive when the president signs the law.
A bitter struggle ia expected In the
senate next week over the wool tariff.
A wool revision bill already has
passed the democr attic house. Several
substitutes have been offered in the
senate and q vote will be taken next
Thursday.
No sooner had the reciprocity bill
passed than senators began to pre-.
pare for the attack on the tariff.
The wool bill was made the unfiu.
ished business and will be taken up
Monday morning. There were many
exchanges of views on this bill tod ay
especially among the democra ats, and
q suggestion for caucus was made.
Nothing is settled, but the indica'
tions are that there will be q demo.
cratic conference before the vote or
the bill Thursday. The indications
also are that the house bill will be
voted down without effort to amend i,
and that consequently the LaFollette
wool bill, already introduced in the
senate, may be adopted as an amend
ment to the house free list bill to be
finally dealt with when the free lis
vote is taken, August l.

NO WOOL TARIFF REVISION
Democratic and Insurgent Senator'S
Cannot Agree.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-The wool
schedule OF the Payne.Aldrich law will
not be modified until next session, &C.
cording to ell present indications. If
any wool revision bill is finally enact
ed by congress this session 1t is under.
stood it will be vetoed by the presi.
dent, but there is now consider able
doubt if any wool bill will receive the
support of the majority of the senate.
1t is conceded that the house wool
bill, when voted upon next Tuesday,
will be defeated, for it will receive not
to exceed two or three insurgent repub.
iican votes not enough to pass it, as
all other repu blicans will vote ag ainst
it, There Ia now q serious doubt
whether La Follette's wool bill, when
offered as an amendment to the farm
ers' free list, can get enough votes to
force its adoption, and even If this
amendment be adopted there is q
question whether the free list bill,
when put upon it's final passage, can
get through the senate. with or with.
out La Follette's amendment, as it is
opposed by number of insurgents
and all regular republicans.
1t was learned today that some in.
surgent senators, particularly those
from wool.growing states, are hesi-
tating about supporting LaFollette' 3
wool bill. They are inclined to vote
against it and wait for the report OF
the tariff board. But what is still
more important, many democratic
senators, while refusing absolutely to
commit themselves, have doubts as to
the political wisdom of supporting the
La Toilette bill after their own wool
bill is rejected. They do not wan,
credit for revision to go to La Toilette,
and they doubt the wisdom of sending
back to the house bill at marked
variance with that which received
practically the solid democratic vote
of that body.
