Ottawa Hears That Senate

OTTAWA, April 22.-The news of the
passage of the reciprocity bill in the
House of Representatives at Washing
ton was received here last evening with
satisfaction by the government, which
has information from Washington that
the chances of the bill passing the SEN
ate are excellent.
A private dispatch received by prom
inent supporter of the government from
a Washington source that inspires con-
fidence says that there will be majority
for the bill in the Senate Of from twelve
to fifteen.
The rules of the house of commons and
the United States Senate are much alike.
there being no limitation to debate here.
The prime minister and the leader OF
the opposition have not yet agreed upon
q time for closing the reciprocity debate
and taking a vote on the resolution. All
efforts to reach such an agreement have

Love or the Stage /?

The eighteenth competitor in our prize
contest is entitled ''Crucible." appearing
tomorrow in our Sunday Magazine.
Virginia Lockard is the author. 1t is a
pretty story, telling Of an operate prima
donna who had decided for the stage as
against family life with husband she
adored. She met a young woman,
counterpart of herself years before. who
was also contemplating a professional
career even though she was engaged to
marry fine, domestically inclined
young fellow. This is the theme-the old
issue of love or. art-but the author has
made II into a tale of unusual forceful-
ness, with a dramatic climax that brings
1t far above the commonplace. Remem-
Der, in our Sunday Magazine tomorrow.

Vain Attempts to Amend.

Thirty-five amendments were offered by
| the republicans in an effort to amend the
bill. The democratic leaders declared
that any amendment would endanger the
| entire measure, and for that reason they
gave notice that the bill must be passed
| just as 1t came from the hand of the
President.
The attempt to amend the agreement
| began with the final reading of the bill
at 8 o'clock. The threats of republicans
| opposed to the measure to make the dem
| ocrats vote against amendments for free
meat, free lumber and free agricultural
machinery were carried out, but their
ment would defeat the whole trade agree
| ment they cheerfully voted these amend
| ments down.
The republicans who tainted them with
tant products were met with the asser-
| ton that the democrats would lay the
new farmers free list bill'' before the
House next week, and that an opportu-
free meat. machinery. lumber and a score
Of other things. This defense was met
| by republican standpatters with the
charge that the democrats knew the free
| list bill could not pass the Senate nor
| secure the Presidents approval.
| Attempts to put fresh and canned meats
| on the free list section of the reciprocity
bill were made by Representatives Martin
L "
| Lenroot of Wisconsin and Norris 81 Ne
braska. Representative Lenroot finally
proposed the whole democratic free list
| bill as an amendment. and although Rep
resentative Sherley Of Kentucky. who was
presiding. ruled that 1t was in order. the
| democrats stoically voted against it.
The section OF the bill relating to free
admission OF pulp and paper provoked the
| sharpest discussion. drawing from Repre-
| sentative Mann Of Illinois, the republi-
| can leader, the statement that it was
| exactly in the terms agreed upon by the
| two countries.
Former Speaker Cannon bitterly at
tackled this section Of the bill.
Lets bring Canada down here and
surrender the halls Of Congress to them.'
exclaimed Mr.. Cannon.
| Representative Longworth of Ohio
| pointed out that any reduction of duties

This is not the first time said Mr..
Underwood, that the steel trust has
sought to deter me from my course in
Congress on the tariff bill. but this effort
will be as Intellectual as the others. The

ways and means committee will have my
support and will pass. The steel trust
has fought me constantly and threatened

this measure"
The passage of the bill marked the
close of fight that had ragged in the
House for six days. During that time
the safety of the measure was at no
time threatened. but the democratic and
republican leaders working for it's pas
sage conceded all the opportunity desired
by it's opponents for debate and protest
against it. Following the same policy,
amendments were admitted in the House
for almost every section of the bill. and
in each case they were rejected by an
