result of superficial observation made
possible by the lowering of the water

seven feet.
On account of this unforeseen revela-

bottom Of the harbor. all plans here

of weakness.
Colonel Black. Of the engineer corps.

60 VOTES FOR RECIPROCITY
The White House Count-Defeat
for Root Amendment.

Washington. June 15.-The Canadian
reciprocity agreement now has sixty
votes in the Senate, according TO the
White House count. The Root amend
ment will be killed by a comfortable
majority in the same body. the men who
have studied the situation for President
Taft say.
The President expects a long debate on
the bill, and perhaps some acrimonious
discussion on the Root amendment, but
he has expressed the conviction that
combination of Republicans and Demo-
Gratis will defeat the amendment. and
that two-thirds OF the Senate will vote
for the bill itself.
