Washington, Feb. 23.-The way was
opened for a schedule by schedule re-
vision of the tariff today when reso-
luton introduced by Senator Cummins
asking the president for information
the tariff board had collected on arti-
cles and commodities named in the
Canadian reciprocity agreement was
adopted. The fact that Senator Hale
supported the Cummins resolution is
believed to indicate organized opposi-
tion to the adoption of the reciprocity
agreement at this session.
Speaking in support of the resolution
to oust William Lorimer, senator from
Illinois, on the ground that he was
corruptly elected, Senator Beveridge
of Indiana, took the floor this after
noon at l is O'Clock.
Previous to the opening of the de-
bate Senator Burrows, chairman of
the committee that investigated Lori
mer, sought unanimous consent for a
vote today, tomorrow or on Saturday.
He was unsuccessful. Senator Lodge
objected to a vote today and Senator
Stone opposed the setting of any par
ticular day for vote
The sundry civil appropriation bill,
carrying $40, $40, 600, was reported
to the house today. This is $25, 431, =
900 in excess of the bill last year, but
is S14, 4S6, 900 under the estimates.
The largest single item is $45, $780,
600 for the Panama canal, an increase
of 81, 500, 900 over the estimates. For
public buildings s21, 81, 245 is appro-
priated, an increase of SIC, 900, 600.
Canal fortifications receive an appro-
priation of SO, 600, 900.
The measure will probably be passed
by the house under suspension of the
rules.
Despairing of forcing the senate to
pass his tariff commission bill, Presi-
dent Taft is centering his efforts to
secure S4OO, 900 to continue the pres
ent board by an appropriation in the
sundry bill. If the provision passes
the next house will have no opportun-
ity to interfere with the tariff board

Washington, Feb. 20. - Adopting
the gag rule suspending debate, by a
vote of 179 to AZ, the house today put
an end to the filibuster that has tied
up business since Friday and provided
for expediting business until the end
of the session. When the house met
it was technically February II.
1t will now require a two-thirds
vote to pass the pending measures,
and this gives the balance of power
to the Democrats. Only under that
condition would they compromise.
Under the compromise plan it is pos
sible by two-thirds vote to suspend
the rules at any time and with only 40
minutes debate pass any bill.
As a result of the rule adopted, the
Democrats are able to absolutely kill
any bill. 1t will be impossible to
amend the appropriation bills on the
floor, but the Democrats can force
committee amendments by refusing to
permit consideration.
By two-thirds vote the house con-
sidered the war claims bill and passed
it. The District of Columbia bill
then was sent back to conference.
The house sent back to conference
the Indian appropriation bill because
it carried a senate amendment appro-
priating $500, 600 for the Colville
Indians, in the state of Washington,
for lands seized by the government,
of which S1OO, 600 was for Ex-senator
Martin Butler, of North Carolina, as
attorney fees.

/ Washington, Feb 22-As a result
of disclosures by the United Press
that the state department had given
Argentina the plans Of the navy de-
partment to be used in constructing
its dreadnaughts, in exchange for the
contracts for those vessels given two
American builders, Senator La Fol-
lette today introduced in the senate a
resolution demanding full information
about the deal.
The resolution directs the secretary
of the navy to report to the senate
what plans concerning battleships or
armament have been loaned or trans
mitted to Argentina or any of the ship
builders representatives., whether the
navy officials have aided the American
builders to get Argentina contracts
and by whose authority such work was
undertaken.
Another resolution directs the Sec
retary of state to transmit to the sem
ate any communications, written or
verbal, with Argentina pertaining to
the construction of the battleships for
which IOiAIl dNIS WCAC given " bHC

Carrying provision which pre-
vents the purchase of armor or arma-
ment of any sort from the steel trust,
the naval appropriation bill today
passed the house.
Despite opposition by the naval
affairs committee of the house, the
bill included sweeping provisions in
favor of union labor and the eight
hour day in the construction of the
two battleships provided for.
The antitrust amendment was
adopted by blanket vote. Brought
in by Representative Stanley of Ken
lucky, it provides that no armor
plate, structural steel or machinery

ment Of fair competition by bids.
Another provision prevents the gov
eminent paying for armor more than

DOINGS OF OUR NATIONAL LAWMAKERS

Washington, Feb. 25.- The house
tonight made record in passing the
sundry civil appropriation bill, the
greatest supply measure of the SEES
sion, which had been up only two days
The bill carried more than $40, 600,
900. Usually it has taken five to ff-
teen days.
Only three minor alterations in the
bill were made on the floor. Without
dissenting voice $45, $50, 600 was ap-
propriated for continuing work on the
Panama canal, an unprecedented pro-
ceeding.
The bill carried $3.50, 900 for raising
the battleship Maine, $40O, 900 for the
continuation of the tariff board for
two years and SO, OO0, 900 for fortify-
ing the Panama canal
For. the first time in its history, the
house passed a series of appropria-
tions for public buildings without
even reading them. The sums totaled
$27, 284, 725 and were contained in the
sundry civil bill.
After one of the most dramatic and
spirited debates of the session the
house tonight declared in favor of
fortifying the Panama canal. Every
effort to defeat the 5000, 900 appro-
priation in the sundry civil bill for
canal fortifcation was decisively beat
en-. The final vote on Notifications
was 1913 to 81. The lead in the fight
against the Notifications was taken
by Tawney, Republican, of Minnesota,
as the closing act of his long service
in the house.
President Taft today set aside April
as the date of the extra session of
congress, in case he is obliged to carry
out his threat.
Washington, Feb. 24.-In less than
an hour the senate late today voted
the Sutherland amendment into the
resolution providing for the election of
United States senators by direct vote
of the people; fixed next Tuesday as
the time for voting on the resolution
itself; made the case involving
Senator Lorimer's seat the unfinished
business and received the Canadian
reciprocity bill from the committee on
finance.
In addition there was much discus
sion of the order of business. Several
speeches were arranged, and Senator
Penrose gave notice that on Monday
he would ask the senate to consider
the postofice appropriation bill, which
includes the provision increasing the
postage on the advertising portion of
After refusing to adopt a rule Of
cloture and pass the big sundry civil
appropriation bill under suspension
Of the rules, the house settled down to
a speedy consideration of the $40,
900, GOO measure today, and had dis
posed of a considerable part Of its
provisions when adjournment was
taken at 10: 80 tonight.
The presidents $40O, 900 tariff
board appropriation was acted on
early. Shortly afterward the house
struck out the appropriation of S75,-
900 asked by the president for the
further work of his economy board.
If the senate does not pass the bill
the Canadian reciprocity
agreement before March A, it will
pass it in a special session, which will

middle of March.

Washington, Feb. 21-Fearful of
business disturbance if an extra ses-
sion of congress is called, agents of
the money kings are bringing the
greatest possible pressure to bear on
President Taft to induce him to fore
go his declared purpose, no matter
what the action of congress on recip-
rocity and his other pet projects.
''Let US have rest, is the plant
to the president. 1--WE don't want an
extra session. 1t will keep business
in turmoil, because the Democrats
are apt to start anything when they
take hold of the reins of government.
We want tariff rest until December,
anyway
No indication as yet has been given
as to how President Taft regards the
plea of "big business but it is
known that every resource of the in
terests is being brought into play to
induce him to allow the legislators to
go quietly home, even if his recipro-
city program is not endorsed.
Following a conference this after
noon with President Taft, Senator
Carter, of Montana, announced that
the Canadian reciprocity agreement
would be ratified before the senate ad-
journed AS Idaho is lined up solidly
against the measure, Senator Hepburn
is expected to lead the opposition
when the bill is brought up in the SEN
ate for final action.
Representative Gaines, of West
Virginia, today endeavored to force
the ways and means committee to
consider a reciprocity measure which
provides for absolute free trade be-
tween Canada and the United States
for period Of 20 years. The bill re-
quires both countries to adopt the
same customs duties upon products of
other countries. The committee ad-
journed, leaving the measure pending.

 Prescott Journal. Miner: MT. and Mrs. Robert Mitchell and son, E. Folk and Dr. Mark Pardee identified with the Mint Gold Min ing company, arrived in the city yesterday from their camp in the Copper Basin district on business MT. Folk is in route to his home in Franklin, Ohio, but will return later. Dr. Pardee, of the same city, will remain for another month, Both are elated over the pOssibii- ties of the property, which is un- der the presidency of Mr. Mitchell. The finishing touches are being given the mill which will begin crushing ore in about ten days.
 Globe Democrat: As a result of a fire in an old stope, which has been smothering for several months in the Old Dominion mine, the ninth and tenth levels began to rapidly fill with gas last night, overcoming several of the miners who were immediately rushed to the surface and soon revived. Gangs of men worked all night in bulkheading the levels to prevent a spread of the gas and this after noon succeeded in their efforts. All danger that the mine would have to close down is now past. Superintendent Kingdom, who took charge of the operations last night was brought out in an unconscious condition and was finally forced to remain on the surface from which point he directed the operations.
 Daily Globe: A. c. Stoddard began his duties as the new super intendent of the Superior and Bos- ton mine yesterday morning. Stod- dard is a graduate of the class of '02 in the University of Michigan, and has been connected for the last three years with the Old Dominion mine. W. G. Rice stated last night that Stoddard was one of the most competent men among mining superintendents in this part of the country. J. D. Wanv- ing, the former superintendent, left the Superior and Boston people to accept a position with the firm of Probert and Weed, mining engi- neers of Los Angeles. Wanving left for Mexico Thursday morning to examine mining proposition for the firm he is now connected ! with. He expects to be in Los Angeles by the first of next month. 1

 vals in Prescott yesterday from the Grown King bring the information
 of the greatest strike ever made in

 management of Geo. P. Harring. ton. and considerable excitement
 was prevailing. An eight foot ore
 body, sampling $25 in gold to the ton had been determined in the
 drift running north from the bot rOm of the 1S0 foot shaft, which is the deepest point reached. For D feet continuous ore body is devel- oped, containg heavy sulphide of iron, and as drifting progresses the grade of the ore continues to i'm prove. As the drift is being run foot for foot in depth is being reached owing to the contour of the mountain and which will not necessitate sinking the shaft for the present to further depth.
 Parker Post: Superintendent P. H. Newman ef the Steece Cop. per company visited the company's mine in the Riverside mountains last week and was much gratiied over the results of the development work accomplished during the sum- mer. At the 800 foot level the shaft passed through eighty feet of feet of fine ore, averaging $20 per ton. This ore body is to be devel- oped thoroughly upon MT. New mans return from the coast next next week. Cross-cuts are to be run in both directions to deter mine its width, but from the pre- sent indications it is of great size As the shaft is being sunk on an in cline it went through the ore body below the 500 foot level. The to- tai depth of the shaft is now about 900 feet from the surface, or 750 feet from the upper tunnel level. Water was encountered recently, and it is confidently believed by the management that now that the water level has been reached the values will not only be greater, but it is reasonable to expect that the ore bodies will be of greater proportions and permanency'
