Washington, D. c., Feb. 13.-The
Mccall bill carrying into effect the
Canadian reciprocity agreement, ar
rived on the floor of the house today,

ure admitted today that there was no
hope of stopping it in the house. The
test vote came today soon after tn
house was called to order by Speaker
Cannon.
Mccall moved immediate consider
alton of his bill. This was objected
to. When voting began, however, 1t
soon became apparent that, with com.
paratively few exceptions, the lines
were being tightly drawn between
those favoring and those opposing the
trade agreement. AS finally correct.
ed the vote to take up the bill was 1877
to 120. The bill will be passed, it
is said, by an even larger majority.
Today 101 Republicans voted against
immediate consideration. This num-
'rer will show a decided diminution
on final roll call. Sixty-three Re.
publicans voted for immediate consid-
GRAFTON. The Democratic vote was
divided, 1874 in favor of immediate con-
sideration and 10 against it. Demo.
cratic leaders say there will be but
six or seven votes against the pas

time for voting was set today but
tomorrow Mccall will endeavor to Sc
cure an amendment to end the gen.

FAV0R|NG RECIPROCITY
LARGEST man IN
TEXAS IS DEAD
Especial to The Tribune.)

San Antonio, Texas, Feb. 13.--
Lamb Graves, the largest man in the
state of Texas, is dead at his home
near this city. Graves was a giant in
stature, standing seven feet and three
inches tall, and weighed when in
health $50 pounds. He vas farmer
by occupation and resided in Bexar
county five years, having come here
from Centreville, Texas. 1t is said
of him that he possessed the strength
of three ordinary men and could tame
horses and other animals into submis-
sion by sheer force. But while he
was a giant both in size and strength,
he was known as a most kindly man
and avoided notoriety. Many amuse-
ment enterprises made him flattering
offers to go on exhibition, but these
were always rejected. On account
of his size, the undertaken who was
called at the time of his death found
1t impossible to get a coffin large
and the body lies in a morgue
In this city awaiting the arrival of a
specially ordered casket. 1t is be.
lieved that Graves was the tallest
man, not only in Texas, but in the
United States. He was SO years old
and unmarried.

M'CUMBER WILL
talk AGAINST IT
(8y Associated Press.)

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Nc
Cumber is getting ready to make a
speech in which he will define his
position as to the Canadian recipro.
city, and let it be known that he is
opposed to the pending agreement.
Many letters and kilograms are COM
ing to him daily, and the other men,
bers of the North Dakota delegation,
protesting against the ratification Of
the agreement, and these communica-
tions are to form the text of the Nc
Cumber speech.
He will say that Taft, in looking
over the vote cast in North Dakota
last November, probably made up his
mind that the state was insurgent on
the tariff question, and not really ex-
pected that it's people were in favor
of the tariff reductions contained in
the Canadian agreement.
The protest against the agreement.
in the light of the vote, Mr.. McCum-
Der will say, will probably strike the
president as being somewhat odd. He
will make the argument. however. in
favor of the agricultural sections of
his state, and insist that these Sec
tions should not be sacrificed.

regular candidate, William H. Seward
of New York. This is how Clay's in

Proctor:
When the convention opened Sc

ace Greeley was the dominant figure,
was absolutely without organization or
community of desire. To show how
much without aim We were working
recall that Greeley said to us within
thirty hours of time for balloting in
answering questions as to whom we
should unite upon to oppose Seward

souri,. He's strong man and i be-
lieve one of the best we could nomin-

and Greeley replied: ''While Lincoln is

speaker, and we will 60 home and pre-
