Washington.-The Mccall bill, en-
bodying the administration reci-
procity agreement with Canada, was
passed by the house Of representa-
tives by a vote of 221 to 80. 1t now
goes to the senate, where chances for
its passage are becoming brighter.
President Taft received the news of
the big vote in the house with great
satisfaction.
The passage Of the bill in the house
came at the end of a long debate,
which at times was as bitter as has
been heard on the floor of that cham
ber in years. The fight was confined
almost wholly to the Republican side.
Democratic members joined in from
time to time and taunted the majority
members for their lack of unity.
or the 221 members who voted for
the Mccall bill on the final passage,
78 were Republicans and 143 Demo
Gratis. OF the 80 who opposed the
passage of the bill, all but were Re.
publicans.
The Democrats who voted against 1t
were Representatives Broussard of
Louisiana, Estopinal Of Louisiana,
Hammond Of Minnesota. who is to be
a member of the new Democratic
ways and means committee; Pujo of
Louisiana and Webb of North Caro-
lima, all of whom believe in the pro-
lection of home industries. and were
afraid of the free lumber provisions
of the Canadian agreement.
The insurgent Republicans contin-
ued to lead in the fight against the
agreement on the plea that it dis.
eliminates against the farmer. On the
final vote the insurgents of Iowa, Ne
braska and Kansas voted to man
against the bill. Those from Wiscon'
sin and Minnesota divided about
equally.

Ottawa, Ont-The continued talk Of
annexation, kept alive by the Opposi-
tion journals, is causing deep resent
ment in Canada, and according to some
of the leading supporters of the gov
ernment, may jeopardize the recipro-
city measure now before Parliament.
The Liberals have accepted as the true
sentiment of the Washington admins
tration the message OF President Taft
to Representative Mccall, in which Mr..
Taft said This agreement, il it be-
comes a law, has no political signif-
canoe. No thought of future political
annexation or union was in the mind of
Canada is now and will remain a
political unit" The wave OF feeling
that has been aroused in the Dominion
cannot be ignored, however, and it is
understood that Sir Wilfrid Laurier
will make a statement which will, it is
asserted forever set at rest the idea
that annexation OF Canada by the
United States is possible.
In some quarters the disavowals of
President Taft and Secretary Knox do
not carry conviction, and the Opposi-
tion press is carefully fostering the
idea that they are the utterances OF
adroit and clever men, working with
the ulterior motive of annexation which
Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Bennett were too
frank to conceal.
1t is declared by supporters OF the
government that the reciprocity agree
ment is popular throughout Canada,
and will produce material results. But
the sentimental feeling overshadows
it, and the suggestion that the agree
ment is the first step toward depriving
Canada of autonomy is resented.
While it is recognized that the an
nexation talk in the United States has
not reached a stage where ii can be
taken seriously, the fact that 1t was
begun by American public men has
been sufficient to provide the Opposi-
tion with a strong card against the
government. Other forces fighting
reciprocity have not been idle, and the
combined results are bound to give the
government good deal of concern.
The Manufacturers Association, one
of the strongest organizations in
Canada, although not affected by the
terms of the agreement. has taken
alarm at the idea that free trade in
agricultural products will lead to free
trade in manufactured articles. and
has organized a movement against the
measure now before Parliament.

GOULDS LOSE MISSOURI
PACIFIC RAILROAD
Head Of Family Retres From the
Presidency-Odds Too Great
for Fight.

New York.-All danger OF contest
between great financial interests, com
parable only with the Northern Pa
cific panic of 1901, was removed when
George J. Gould defnite,y and pub
licly announced his intention Of re-
signing as president Of the Missouri
Pacific railway. If he had not agreed
to this, there is not the slightest doubt
the international banking firm OF
Kuhn, Loeb &c Co., with the repre-
sentatives OF John ID. Rockefeller,
would have precipitated a contest for
control Of the property, taa results of
which might have been far reaching
and serious to the financial community.
Gould not only will retire as president,
but practically will give up control OF
the property, although he will retain
his large stock holdings for the pres
ent, at least.
Coincident with the retirement Of
the Goulds from the most important of
all their railroad properties is the rise
to still greater influence than before
in the railroad and banking world Of
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. This firm now Is
as dominant in the West and South
west as Morgan is in the East, and
with James ]. Hill in the Northwest,
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. are bankers for the
Union and Southern Pacific systems.
They at one time controlled a large
block of Rock Island stock, and sold it
only on the understanding it be lodged
with capitalists who would not be I'M
friendly to them. Finally they are
allied closely with the big new Hawley
system of railroads.
One of the most interesting phases
of the threatened contest ever the Mis-
souri, Pacific is the part which James
j. Hill is understood to have played.
Hill and Kuhn, Loeb & Co. locked
horns in 1901 over the Northern Pa
cific, and his lines are the great com
petitors in the Northwest of the Har-
riman-Kuhn, Loeb system. When
George Gould recently discovered If
he did not at once give Up control Of
the Missouri Pacific management he
would be forced into the biggest fight
of his life with firm of bankers with
unlimited resources and possessing
the sympathy of Rockefeller, he is be-
lieved to have gone to James j. Hill
for help. AS the story goes, Gould Of
fered Hill a voice in his system of
railroads If Hill would give Gould as
sistance in the threatened contest.
This Hill agreed to do, but it was
found help had come too late, because
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. had already cb-
tained enough stock to win out in the
fight.

MACHINERY WANTED.
DLN EYvlLLE,

II is perhaps an example OF the irony
sof fate that Russia. our most for
midable competitor in some branches
5f agriculture, should be obliged TO
depend. to a considerable degree. on
American machinery for her success In
the competition. says the Manchester
Union. II is fact no less interesting.
though not unnatural, that American
manufacturers OF agricultural machin-
cry are getting themselves in read
aness to send to Russia all the ma
chinery she is willing TO pay for, pro-
-vided she will make the trade an OBJ
iect to them by way of duty conces-
sions. The Russian National Organiza-
ton OF Traders in Agricultural Machin-
cry and Implements has laid be-
fore its government resolutions ad-
Kocating the continuance of agri-
cultural machinery on the free list. and
the removal Of the present duty on To-
comobles imported with threshing
machines and steam plows. In these
resolutions American manufacturers of
agricultural machinery are naturally
Interested. They know that the Rus
sian government earnestly desires the
development of the southern part of
Its country into a corn-growing area,
the fertility of the soil making this es-
pecially desirable; and they are quite
reasonable in hoping and expecting
that this consideration will be a fac
tor in the Russian acceptance of the
proposition to admit free Of duty all
utensils and machinery required In
the cultivation of the product.

London.-An interesting link con-
Meeting the London of today with the
London of remote ages was made by
the recent unveiling OF the new
Pcups cross in st. Pauls churchyard.
There on the highest ground In the
great metropolis was made the f1rst

of the Reformation there were prob
ably fewer than 5000 crosses in Eng

varying, too, in their uses. They were
TO be found on the roadsides, at cross
roads and at many other places all
over England, and a pretty and inter
esting tale could be told OF the vari-
Gus kinds, whether they be market,

preaching crosses.
Some beautiful specimens of preach

celebrated one in Europe and one
which played a most important part
in the history of England, is old st.

Agriculture at Cornell, presented the
bther side Of a much-discussed matter
when he talked to the fruit growers
OF the state at Sodus on the subject

clared that there is great loss OF po-
tential wealth In the abandoned farms
But Prof. Bailey says that much
sentiment has been wasted on social
ed abandoned farms that farming has
been suspended on some lands for
good economic reasons, and that farm
Ing will not begin again upon them
until conditions demand il. All this
fs true, OF course. Buying an aban-
honed farm does not always open the
road to prosperity for the buyer The

that he cannot get along any better
