ENGLISH HUNTswoMEN.
Americans Said Not to Show Up Well
Beside Them.

Despite the fact that America boasts
so of her horsewomen and undoubtedly
does possess some excellent equestri-
ennes, one never sees them shine very
much in the English hunting field, where
so many of them now spend the win
ter.
Il is a compliment to English horse
women that the American stud owners
are advertising for English women 70
90 out and ride for them in the show
ring and school grounds.
The writer has recently had one or two
applications for information regarding
the capabilities of erstwhile famous
sportswomen who have fallen on evil
DAYS and are anxious to be paid for
riding rather than to pay for the pleas
ure which with them is second nature.
As rule ladies are far less generous
in lending mounts to less fortunate
friends than the men folk, and the ex-
pIanation il probably found in the fact
that the former rarely have SO many
hunters at their disposal. Far less fire.

such as the present has been, do they

QUINCY JUBILANT
OVER PROSPECTS
For Settlement of Dispute Between the
Granite Industry in Time to
Prevent Suspension on
March /.

Quincy, Mass, Feb. l7-Fear of a
suspension in the granite industry on
| March / has been somewhat dispelled
by the announcement that the manufae-
turers and granite cutters have agreed
| on a minimum scale Of wages and that
it is expected that all the differences
will be wiped out at the conference to
be held next Monday evening. The
wage agreement is a minimum Of S3.25
day for a term OF five years.
The minimum wage question has been
the one stumbling block from the first.
In the original draft Of changes desired
the cutters asked for minimum wage
of 1896 per day. This was an in
crease of SO cents from the wage now
paid. Then the manufacturers made
an offer Of $500 per day for the first
three years and 1926 per day for the
next two years. This the cutters would
not accept.
The second offer by the cutters was
for 1926 for the first three years and
S3,2S for the next two years, This also
was turned down by the manufacturers.
| The third offer was for a wage Of S325
for the first four years and S3.2s for
one year. This also was turned down.
Tuesday evening the cutters made their
fourth proposition which was fiat wage
OF 1925 for five years, which was ac-
eepted
As soon as this was over the two COM
mittees took up the consideration of the
clause which asks that cutters at work
on any particular granite shall be paid
! the same minimum as is paid in the
granite centre from which the granite
comes. This clause was under discus
sion when an adjournment for the even.
ing was made.
The matter of the half holiday on
Saturdays throughout the year over
which there has also been more or less
discussion and over which it was thought
there might be some difficulty in set
ting has also been settled. This clause
in the agreement now reads as fol-
| lows:
Eight hours shall constitute a days
work excepting on Saturdays, when work
shall cease at ~ o'clock noon with the
| further exception that during the
months of March, April and May dur
ing the years 1911 and 1912 eight hours
shall constitute days work on Sat
urdays."
The three months mentioned in the
above clause are those during the busy
sea son with the manufacturers as they
arc rushing TO get off Memorial day
orders. As for Saturdays during the
remainder of the year the manufacturers
might as we'll close at II o'clock on
Saturday, for when the yards remained
opened for the afternoon there were
many cutters who did not work as they
1es'ted to attend some of the various
anusements that usually take place on
Saturday afternoons during the year
Quarry Bill Settled
The committee considering the de-
mand of the quarrymen met Tuesday
evening and before they adjourned an
/ agreement for the next five years had
/ been reached. Under the new agree
mnt which dates from March J, 1911
and runs for a period of five years, the
minimum wage will be 30 cents per
hour. This is an increase Of seven and
one-half per cent. over the present bill.
The remainder of the 1908 bill was ac-
cepted as the new bill.

they must supply two to one on pairs on

MAY REPORT WEDNESDAY.
Finance Committee Will Push Canadian
Reciprocity Measure,

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE Canadian
reciprocity measure will be considered
by the Senate committee on finance at
n special session Saturday It is not
likely the bill will be disposed Of in
the committee in one day, although all
its members are agreed that action shall
not be delayed unnecessarily.
Senators Lodge and Smoot, members
of the committee, assured President Taft
Yesterday that the bill would not be
smothered in the committee, regardless
Of how much opposition there might be
to it.
From present indications the bill will
be returned to the Senate about Wednes-
dav and certainly not later than Thurs
day. It may be that no report, either
favorable or adverse, will be made upon
it.
However, all this may be changed
when the committee meets.
Senate leaders are not sanguine OF
reaching vote and many Of them are
inclined to the view that an extra ses-
sion cannot be avoided.

Standpatters Call on Taft For
Annexation
LAST DESPERATE EFFORT
70 Defeat Reciprocity-Hope to Make
Canada Reject Measure-Have
Noted the Quick Replies to
Clark's Remarks.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE handle Civ
en- by Champ Clark to the opponents OF
reciprocity in Canada by his remarks
concerning annexation has been so quick
" grasped that the stand patters in
Congress have hopes that they may
cause the defeat of the agreement IN
Canada. With this idea in view, Repre-
sentative Bennett OF New York has in
troduced resolution in the House call
ing upon the president to begin negotla-
tions for the annexation OF Canada.
Mr.. Bennett probably would be one OF
the last persons in Che world to desire
annexation, and the entire action is be-
ing forwarded with the view of defeat
ing reciprocity by soaring Canada into
rejecting it. Undoubtedly the move will
render more difficult the task OF Pre-
mier Laurier, as the conservatives IN
the dominion parliament have already
made use of Clark's speech TO embarrass
the government. Replying to an in
ouirv, Premier Laurier has refused to
take the Clark speech seriously. and
has assured the dominion conservatives
that Canada need have no fear in going
ahead with the agreement. Favorable
action continues to be urged by various
commercial bodies in this country, and
by many state legislatures, indicating
the far-reaching popularity Of the meas
ure. Curiously enough, it may come
about that Senator Lodge in spite OF
his interests which are so strongly OPP
posed to reciprocity, may lead the fight
for the agreement in the Senate. Il
is believed that Taft win ask this, and
that the senator will act for the benefit
of the administration In case the meas
ure goes through, under such circum-
stances, Massachusetts, may take great
pride in the fact that her represent
atives were largely Instrumental in its
passage.
