CHAMP CLARK'S JOKE
AROUSED THE WORLD
HE DIDN'T MEAN TO STIR UP
JOHN BULL BY HIS JocU.
LAR REMARKS.

Washington, Feb. 16.-The semi
jocular remarks which Champ Clark,
the democrat speaker.to.be, made in
the house debate on Canadian reci-
proCity agreement that he believed
the stars and stripes would one day
float over the entire western hemis-
phere, stirred up most unexpected
trouble. President Taft took occas-
ion to write. to Representative Nc
Call, introducer Of the reciprocity
bill, disclaiming and deprecating the
annexation talk, and to follow it up
with personal remarks even more en-
phatic to his visitors.
The news that Mr.. Clark's illusions
had created excitement in Canada
and in England occasioned great sur
prise and considerable amusement at
the capital. The man most surprised
of all was Mr.. Clark himself
Mr.. Clark's entire speech on reci-
procity was delivered in a half hum
orous, half haunting vein. The house
was in a gale of laughter most of the
time, In return for the laughs he was
creating at their expense, some of the
republicans tried to turn tables on
Mr.. Clark by Gliding him with the
fact that he might have President
Taft as an opponent for the demo.
cratic nomination.
The humorous expression reflected
part of the debate. Part of the time
Mr.. Clark was on his feet and gave
serious consideration to his remarks,
regarding the possible annexation Of
Canada. They regarded his state
ment in the nature of a compliment
to the Canadian people in that he
would be glad to see the friendship
that exists at present between the
Canadians and the United States in
the future so cordial that all might
some day be under one flag. There
was a further touch of faCetiousness
to the debate when one of the repub-
leans asked Mr.. Clark II he would
like to be the first president of the
magnificent union he vas creating.
lie replied with a burst of laughter
that he certainly would
The excitement abroad is attribut-
ed in part to the fact that several
English and Canadian newspaper cor
respondents were present when Mr..
Clark spoke. His remarks may have
appealed to them a. the most impor-
tant feature OF the story and have
been Cabled accordingly. In "skele-
tOniZing" his remarks for cable Dur-
poses the semi.humorous character OF
the debate was entirely lost sight Of.

Washington, Feb. 16. - President
Taft may be compelled to designate a
leader to take charge of the admins
tration interest in the fight over the
reciprocity agreement in the senate,
and if he does, the indications are
that he will select Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts. -
The finance committee, to which the
Mccall bill was referred when it was
messaged over from the house yester.
day, is lukewarm toward the measure.
Several of the members will vote for
it, but it Is not anticipated they will
exhibit any great enthusiasm.
There was speculation as to wheth-
er the Mccall bill would receive ma
jority vote in the committee. No
member is inclined to delay procedure
in view of President Taft's great in.
terest in the agreement.
To avoid seeming opposition to the
presidents program, it was reported
there might be no vote in committee
at all.
Some senators are trying to have
the Mccall bill reported without rec
concentration, giving to the opponents
the right to prosecute their objections
on the senate floor.
By reason Of the illness of Senator
Hale it is not likely that meeting of
the committee will be held before Sat.
urday, and perhaps not before Mon
day.
