Advantage Would Manifest Itself Soon.
Washington, Jan. 27. Urging the
prompt passage of a reciprocity treaty
between the United States and Can
ada, President Taft yesterday after
noon sent to congress a special mcs
aage, accompanied by the agreement
looking to such a treaty, reached by
representatives of the Canadian gov
ernment and of the state department
at a recent conference In the city.
"Identity of Interests of the two
principals, linked together by race,
language, political Institutions and
geographical proximity," the presi
dent gives as the chief reasons for
such reciprocity as he recommends.
The president says he feels It is the
"wish of the American people that this
country enter into a "more Intimate
and cordial relationship with Canada."
Liberality of view in dealing with the
proposed treaty is recommended by
president Taft.
"We have reached a stage In our
development that calls for a states
manlike and brond view of our future
trade status and Its requirements," he
said. "While equivalency should bo
sought In an arraignment of this
chuructor, an exact balance of finan
cial gain Is neither Imperative nor at
tainable." Refers to Other Questions.
After speaking of effurts made prior
to the conference to bring about trade
ageerment between the two countries,
President Taft refers to many pre-
vlous questions, such as the settlement
of boundaries, and the "equitable ar-
rangement recently reached between
our Interstate commerce commission
and the similar body In Canada In re
gard to through rates on transporta
tion lines between the two countries.
"The path having thus been open
ed," ho continues, "for the Improve
ment of commercial lines, a reciproc
ity agreement Is the logical sequence
of all that has been accomplished In
disposing of matters of a diplomatic
and controversial character."
Mr. Taft holds that a commercial
agreement with Canada "by which we
shall have direct access to her great 1
supply of notural products without .
an obstructing or prohibitory tariff, '
U not a violation of the protective (
principle, as that has been authorlta-
tlvely announced by those who uphold ,
It, because that principle does not call
for a tariff between this country and
one whose conditions as to produc
tions, population and wages Is so like
ours and when our common boun
dary line of 3000 miles In Itself must
make ft radical distinction ' between
our commercial treatment of Canada
and of any other country." 1
The president says that the Cana
dians "soon must decide whether they
are to regard themselves as isolated
permanently from our markets by a
perpetual wall and whether wo are .
to be commercial friends."
"if wa Klve them reason to take
the former view," he adds, "we com-.
plain If they adopt methods, denying J New York Jan. 27. Detectives to

Puerto Cortes, Honduras, Jan. 27.
(Via wireless.) Ceiba was taken
Wednesday by Bonilla's forces. Com
mandant Guerrero was killed with 30
of his men and 70 were wounded. The
fighting lasted two hours. The Ta-
corna landed 60 sailors last night. The
Hornet Is at Truxillo and the Ameri'
can gunboat Marietta at Ceiba.
Judging by the lengtn of the mes
sage which the operator at Ceiba was
attempting to send, the engagement
was an Important one in the Hondu
ran uprising.
That the battle tooK place January
25 is the impression gained by the lo
cal operator.
Other fragments of the message
state that the Tacoma has landed ma
rines to be gent to the interior to
protect American interests and that
the Hornet is now stationed at Trux

and sailors.

American bluejackets, assisted by
British seamen, playea an Important
part in the battle, in preserving the
neutrality zone. Their work prob
ably saved the lives of several non
combatants. The commander of the
government troops was prevented
from placing machine guns on neutral
ground at the point of sailors' bay
onets, General Lee Christmas, who had
, "planned the battle some time ago, was
amy assisted by two Americans, Guy
ilaloney of New Orleans and Joe Reed
of Charlestown, Mass, all three oi
whom are credited with valiant work
during the fighting.
The , government forces were well
disciplined and fought to the last. The
fight dwindled down after having been

According to a story from Salem
a number of representatives opposing
the propaganda of the good roads as

its essential features, does not differ
from the highway commissioner meas

have assumed the leader In good roads

down rather abruptly In the senate
