 TOMORROW
SENATE WILL LIKELY PASS THE BILL WHEN VOTE IS TAKEN
 TOMORROW.
Most Bitter Fight Every Waeed by an Administration for Legislation Will Be Ended-Sixty Ex-
 pected to Vote For It..

Washington, D. G., July 1.-The most bitter fight for legislation wag- led by an administration in many years will come to close tomorrow when the Canadian Reciprocity bill,
 an issue before two sessions of congress, will be passed by the sem ate by decisive vote.
 That at least sixt senators out of total membership fninety- one Will vote in favor of the measure, was predicted tonight by senators Of both political parties. This vote will include all but four or five of the democrats and will include also great proportion of the so-called
 stalwLrt" republicans. Unopposed to the bill win be majority of repuDn- can insurgents who come from the Northwestern states, few of the republican regulars and handful of democrats.
 For time today the senate lead CTS hoped they might get the bill to the president before he leaves for Beverly tomorrow, but a visit by Sen- Iators Penrose and Crane to Speaker Clark of the house soon dispelled this expectation, as the speaker ex- plained it would be impossible to hold the house in session long en- lough to receive the measure. It is not expected that the senate Isession tomorrow win be greatly pro- lioaged but the house, having little Ito do, rarely has quorum present these days. That being likely tomor- row, as the speaker pointed out, It was agreed that the plan was im- practicable. As the house will ad- journ from tomorrow until next Wed- nesday the bill cannot be received until the later date.
 The measure has not been and undoubtedly will not be changed in any respect by the senate ana when lit is signed by the vice president and the speaker it will be dispatch ed to the president.
 Senator La Toilette featured Tn the speech making today with wig orous arraignment of President Tafc on the bill. He attacked the demo- crats of the senate on the ground that they were deliberately trying to carry the tariff issue over to the next campaign for political purposes and pointed out that the democrats had consistently voted down amend ments proposing general tariff res ductfon. Their excuse, he said, had been that the president would not sign the reciprocity bill if it was encumbered with any general tariff amendments.
 Several amendments to the recip- rocity bill were defeated, including those by Asr. Bristow to reduce du- ties on lead products and by MT. Townsend for an alliance with Can ada to enlarge the waterway.
 Senator smith of Michigan. at tacking the bill declared Canada would not be the only menace to the American industries. He said Brit ish capital in great abundance is Iwaiting to be poured into Canada when the reciprocity agreement is ratified and that from the advant- ageous ground across the golden border" British industries will flood Ithis country with competitive goods.
 There are twenty-five amendments Ito the measure to be acted upon be- fore the final vote on the passage Iof the bill. Many of these propose Ito afslx general tariff changes 10 Ithe agreement. President Taft has Insisted That any chahses VI
 character threaten the defeat Of the lentire reciprocity arrangement.
