'y Henator Nelson In an exhaustive
apeerh, several Henator took part In
M running debate that niarkil thn
closing period of the address.
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.

John Sharp Williams, senator from

In favor of the measure wa based
on the theory that he would not re

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

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. I would
be glad to aupport any of the pro

the reciprocity bill, with such amend
ments, would command enough vote
to Insure ita passage."
