He said that labor interests. especially printers. pressmen and allied workmen. would be affected by the proposed legislation.
 w. C. Hollister, also of Chicago, head of a committee of seven representing the Ben Franklin club, an organization of publishers, said that moro than 50.- 900 employees would be affected by the increase of rates.
 Frank Morrison. secretary of the American Federation of Labor, said his organization was heart and soul in the effort to defeat the bill.
 Champ Clark Against New Rate.
 Representative Champ Clark sent a telegram to a magazine publisher to- day in which he said:
 Am dead against the increase of postage in advertising sections of mag azines. It is unfair, unjust, unwise. It is tax on information, a hindrance to education It will increase the already too high cost of loving. The people will oppose it when they understand it."
 Senator Clapp of Minnesota tele- graphed a northwestern publishing firm which asked his opinion on the matter that he had never encountered "a measure that seemed so unjust and so fraught with the purpose of destruc- tion.
 Norman E. Mack of Buffalo, chair man of the democratic national com mittee, telegraphed to publishers here today that the increase in rates would be "a great hardship, particularly on readers of popular magazines"

DEEMED DEBATE
 ON CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.
Bill Expected to Pass When Vote is
 Taken Today.

E Washington. Feb. 13.-Interest deeper than that which ordinarily attends to sessions in the senate and house at tracted a large attendance of members and spectators in both branches of congress today. In the house today of debate upon the proposed reciprocal tariff agreement with Canada, which, after a close and spirited contest, be- came the order of business for the day, supplanting the District of Columbia bill that, according to the calendar, was to have been considered.
 The Mccall bill carrying into effect the Canadian reciprocity agreement will probably be passed by the house Tven the opponents of the measure ad- mitted today fhat4there was no hope of stopping it in. the house.
 A test vote occurred today soon af- ter the house was called to, order by Speaker Cannon. MT. Mccall moved the immediate consideration of the bill. This was objected to ostensibly on the bia day on the calendar and that inn portant matters affecting the district were pending.
 When the voting began, however, it soon became apparent that, with com parativa1y few exceptions, the lines were being tightly drawn between those favoring and those opposing the trade agreement. As finally corrected, the vote to take up the bill was 1S7 to 120. The bill will be passed, it is ex- pected, by even a larger majority. To- day 101 republicans voted against inn mediate consideration. This number will show a decided diminution on the fam rollcall Sixty-three republicans voted for immediate consideration.

PENDING NEW ELECTION
Basis of Plan to Be Urged by Ameri- can Delegate to Peace Conference Like Cuban Case.

Washington, Feb. 13.-Tfpmas c. Dawson, who will act as the American delegate to the peace conference in Honduras between representatives of ,President Davilla and General Bonilaa, left Washington tonight on his way to execute his mission in the Central American republic. He will sail from New Orleans "Wednesday for Puerto Barrios. Guatemala, where he will be met by the American gunboat Tacoma and taken to Puerto Cortez.
 Details of the instructions given to MT. Dawson by the state department are withheld for the present. But it is known that his purpose is to reconcile the conflicting factions in Honduras upon the basis of plan to allow the people of the republic an opportunity to express their preferences absolutely without duress in the selection of a president and congress. As a condition precedent it probably will be necessary for the factions to agree upon the as- sumption of executive power by a third party, neither Davilla, nor Bonilla, who shall hold office until a general elec- ton can be held and the successful candidate. for the presidency can be inaugurated. It is believed by the off, cials here that this can be done with olit any armed intervention b. the United States. With that expectation the course to be followed would be like that adopted in the case of Cuba, where eby the good offices of the United States the people were insured a fair and free election.

 Church Unity
REV. DR. NEWMAN sMYTHE BE. FORE HARTFORD MINISTER'S.
NO HALFWAY STOPS
Nation wide Movement is More Than a Pulpit Vision. He Declares-U Itimate Reconciliation of Churches.

Hartford, Feb 13.-Rev Dr. New man Smyth, pastor emeritus of the Center church, New Haven, and a leader in the nation wide movement for church unity among Protestant de- nominations, this afternoon addressed the Hartford ministers meeting upon First Steps Towards Church Unity" ," He said in part:
 The first practical step towards a real church unity was taken last Oc- tOber by the action of the general con- ference of the Episcopal church, call- ing world conference of Christian bodies on the questions of faith and order, together with the simultaneous action of the national council of the Congregational churches appointing a committee to consider any such over lures. The Episcopal commission, are now at work putting themselves, as fast as possible, into communication with other churches and doing the necessary preliminary business for this, great undertaking.
 Real Work to Be Done.
 This movement means that church unity is to be no longer a platform question only. or a pulpit vision to be postponed to the, millennium; some thing is to be done about it. The business of 1t has already entered i'm to the committee stage. Much per- sonal correspondence is being pursued between representatives of different churches; it is to be followed up by conversational discussions around the table of existing differences and poS- sible ways of reconciliation, by mu- tual conferences for better under standing at convenient centers throughout the country, possibly also by the publication of papers concern campaign of mutual education. = Not to Stew Halfway.
 Its ultimate aim is not unity by the absorption of one church by am other. but by organized cooperation and comprehension. This movement cannot be brought to a stop at any halfway station, such as an external federation of churches for some com- mon work-good as that is so far as it goes-nor can it rest merely in a sgen- tlemen's agreement to avoid wasteful multiplication and competition of churches; it's end is to reach an ef- fective administrative unity, to gain dynamic unity of all the churches in order to meet the demands upon Christianity of democratic civilization The joint. commission will have no power to iegisIate; it's immediate bus mess is-~fos perp,NFe the way it calls the churches to go into a committee of the whole and with open mind to confer together until they come. to
 It Can Be Done.
 The obstacles are obvious and great enough. But the Providence be- hind this movement is greater It is begun in the belief that this most Christian thing, which the churches ought to do, can be done, and in the determination of many to keep on nn- til some way is found to do it. Be- yond the immediate prospect, but with in hope it looks also for the Ultima fe reconciliation of the eastern and west ern churches, and with the Roman Catholic church. reformed within it. self.''

 of Honest Abe.
NEW INCIDENTS OF THOSE DAYS
Told Tn Speech Before Hamilton Club, Chicago -Dis. organized Opposition to Seward Had No Candi3 date-Ketuckans Plea for Man Who Would Keen That Section in the Union Prevailed.

Chicago, Feb. 13.-New, and what are believed to be hitherto unpublished in- cidents concerning the politics which gave Abraham Lincoln the republican nomination for president the first time, were told here today in an address be- fore the. Hamilton club by Addison G. Proctor of St. Joseph, Mich, who be-
 ieves himself the only surviving mem Der of the famous split rail' conven- tion.
 How cIay's Influence Was Used.
 MT. Proctor gives one man, Cassius M. Clay of Kentucky, the credit for forcing the nomination of Lincoln to the regular candidate for the nom : ination, William H. Seward of New York This is how lay's influence was exerted, as related by MT. Proc tor:
 When the convention opened, Mir. Stewards interests were in the hands of Thurlow Weed, and were well or ganized. The opposition, of which Horace Greeley was the dominant, fig ure, was absolutely without organiza- tion or community of desire. To show how much without aim we were work ing, recall that MT, Greeley said to us within thirty hours of the time for bal loting, answering a question as 10 whom we should unite upon to oppose Seward:
 II think well of Edward Bates or Missouri he is a strong man, and l believe one of the best we could nom- mate
 Lincoln Lacking in Experience. How about Lincoln 9 we asked, ana Greeley replied:
 ...While MT. Lincoln is an adroit poll |. itician, he lacks experience in pubii1 affairs, and while we are drifting to- ward crisis.I do not believe the coun try will trust a man so lacking i'll ex- perience ill national affairs

 The president said that the promo ton of commercial relations necessari- ly brings about closer political and social relationship between nations and makes less likely the hostility and hard feeling that are likely to lead to war"
