parent Wednesday that the senate can
not reach vote on the proposed re-
peal Of the tolls exemption clause of
the Panama canal act for at least 10
days or two weeks, unless Democratic
leaders make an extraordinary effort
to speed up the proceedings Under
the present speaking each day, action
on the repeal bill is still some distance
in the future.
In the three hours it gave to tolls
the senate listened to a speech by
Senator Hoke Smith, who favors re-
peal, and to debate between Sena-
tors Borah and Williams over reguIa-
tions governing the Weliand canal,
which led TO a dispute between the
United States and Great Britain sew
eraI years ago.
Senator Borah commended that Great
Britain had not to this day yielded its
Interpretation of the treaty governing
the Welland canal, but had withdrawn
its discrimination against United
States commerce merely as matter
of business to protect its own com
merce from retaliatory measures taken
on the part of the United States.
He said the contention Of Great
Britain at the time that the treaty en-
abled IL TO discriminate was still on
file in the State department. unaltered

Copper Suiphafe Injuries
Foreign Apple Market

Washington, ID. C.--The presence OF
copper sulphate on some of the Amer.
lean apples sold in the London market
the past winter has given rise TO con.
siderable adverse comment In the Lon
don newspapers. according TO report
from Consul General GrifIlths, at Lon
don, and the intimation Is conveyed
that unless apples free from this de-
poait are shipped abroad the market is
likely seriously to be impaired.
Mr.. Griiliths says that evidences OF
copper aulphate spray are found on the
apples shipped from only one state.
He does not designate the state using
this particular form of spray, but the
mere fact that some American apples
go onto the London market with this
poisonous substance still on them Is
likely to affect the importation Of APP
pies from the United States generally.
The department of Commerce, see
ing in this report a hint that should
receive attention, has referred II TO
the department of Agriculture. and IL
IA expected that within short time
the latter department will issue a
warning to apple exporters.

Compromise Bill Pledged
In Home Rule Struggle

London - Premier Asquith, in the
house of commons, pledged the govern
ment to introduce an amending bill to
the home rule measure in the hope of
passing it by agreement between the
parties. II this offer is accepted, the
oringinal home rule bill and the
amending bill will become laws prac-
tically at the same time. This, he
contended, was the only proper way of
carrying out any agreed settlement
which might be reached.
The prime minister added that OBJ
viously in order to take advantage of
the provisions of the parliament act no
change could be made in the home rule
bill while it was in the committee
stage, and therefore any debate dur
ing that stage would be pure waste of
time.
Mr.. Bonar Law, leader of the oppo-
sition, bitterly criticised the gag"
methods he declared Mr.. Asquith pro-
posed, and accused him of failing to
redeem his pledges to reconstitute the
house of lords.

Senators Pass Lie OUey
"Pruirie Dog" Measure

Washington, d. C.-Prairie dogs
stirred up more trouble in the senate
Saturday than tariff. currency, tolls OF
woman suffrage had done In the entire
session. Before the furry WAS over
one senator had denounced another as
'falsifiez, and Democrats had been
accused Of converting the party's
economy pledge into satire.
1t all came about by Senator Ash
bursts being absent from the senate
when 1t agreed To $125, 900 item in
the agricultural appropriation bill for
investigating noxious farm anifnaIs.
He asked for reconsideration so he
might insert $4,000 increase for the
investigation Of methods Of extermin-
ating the prairie dogs, which, he said.
had uprooted whole townships in Ariz-
ona-
Senator Bristow remarked that an
appropriation for the determination Of
prairie dogs was the most asinine
thing he had ever heard Of. because
every farmer knew how to get rid Of
them.

the senator from Kansas" Senator
Ashhurst retorted.
For minute the storm promised to
pass over, but Senator Gronna started
il anew by answering remark Of
Senator Bristow by declaring with
some heat that certain senators tried
to be facetious about everything.
II am not In favor Of calling out the
army and navy TO exterminate the
prairie dog" Senator Bristow replied.
This thing looks to me like a
strained effort to get an appropriation
10 give somebody some jobs.
"No one would make that statement
whose brains were not at the base OF
bis tongue instead Of In his head, ;"
shouted Senator Ashhurst, as he adj
vsnced across the chamber toward the
Kansas senator. ANY senator who
says ! am seeking TO get some jobs by
this item speaks what is false and
knows he is falsificr."
The roll call on reconsideration cut
short the debate. Reconsideration was
defeated by tie vote Of 26 to 20.
