Henator Nelson was radically in. tagonlHtlc to tha bill. Ma occupied the floor most of the day, but ex plained that this wa only the flral of several Inxtatlmenl of Ills view on tin subject. A spirited debate among Reiiubll cans was precipitated over tha effect or uie Kool amendment dealing with paper and wood pulp. Henator nxlge, llark of Wyoming, and Bmoot all were on the floor and talking atmultaneoiisly. It wa agreed that mat provision only restored the term ot the treatry a aubmltted to Con Urea. now, then, did that feature of tne agreement disappear?' asked Wil liam Alden Hmlth. of Michigan. "Ask the whispering wind," re ponded Clark. Apparently pleased with the poetic character of hi response, the Wyom ing Henator first seemed disposed to leave It there, but later added that trie amendment wa not only In harmony with the original compact oeiween me two countrle. but In con sonance with the Canadian bill carry lug the agreement into effect. Hmlth wa not satisfied and de iiiaiMieii iioiii i nairman t'enroae an explanation of the dlsapitearance of that feature or the bill. Penrose had adopted the policy of allowing the opMnent of the measure to do tha talking and reluctantly he arose to reply. Washington, June 15. Senor Poll caria) lionilla. once president of lion- dura, and acknowledged friend of lelaya, the deposed leader of Nicar agua, came to Washington Thursday on business which ha evidently did not rare to explain, for he gave the "slip" to the Government agent who had been sent to watch him and appeared at none of the places where one may usually find a Central Amer ican gentleman bent ou a political mission. Soon after lionilla arrived, the Central American colony heard that he had come a an agent of the Clentiflcos party of Mexico, to oe Mse the ratification of the llondurun loan treaty. It became apparent that Govern ment officlnl were more or leaa un easy at the turn of affair when agents who have been watching the Gulf Coast rcwrted that the plot was thickening in New Orleans and that Juan Kstrada, the man who ousted Zelaja, would arrive there soon. There Is little thnt the scents of this Government could do other than ,o (H(.(Vtr evolutionary plans, if there are any, and see that no vio lation of the neutrality law occur. WaHhlnKtnn, June 1,1.

Mr. William report waa one of several presenting varioua view on the reciprocity bill. The majority re port wa non-committal neither for nor against Senator Wllllama. Stone and Kern united In urging the ac ceptance of the bill without amend ment, while Senator I.a Follette and McCumber presented report In op position to the measure. Mr. William gave eieclal promi nence to the portion of President Taft Chicago sixteen dealing with wood pulp as expressive of hi view. Senator Kern also signed the Will iams report and placed an Indorse ment on It, In which he said: . T am for the Canadian reciprocity bill because It look to freer trade and more Intimate commercial rela tlonshlp between thla country and Canada. I am opposed to tbe Root amendment for the reason so well stated by Senator Williams.
