Washington. April 22. President'
Taft's Canadian reciprocity agree-
merit, supported by all but a handful;
of democrats and opposed by a ma- .
Ji rlty of the republicans, passed the (
house of representatives yesterday af
ternoon by 41 vote of 265 to S9. 1
With nearly 100 democrats in con
trol, and their action endorsed by
many republicans, the bill was adop
ted with no a mendiiieiits, and in al
most Identically the form in which it
passed the house last session.
The bill seeks to put into effect the
formal agreement reached between
President Tafl mid members of the
Canadian cabinet, for a reduction of
tariff rales on many article and free
trade in many others, across the Can
adian bonier. Added to It by the
dcmiM'iatic leaders, is a section which
"authorizes and requests" President
Taft to make further efforts to secure
still freer trade relailons with Canada,
In the form of additional reciprocal '
ri lat ions.
The passage of the bill marked the
close of a fight that had raged in the
house for six das. Ill that time the
safety of the measure was at no time
threatened; but the democratic and
rt publican b ailers, working for Its
passage conceded all the opportunity
desired by Its opponents for debate
and protest.
Following the same policy, nineud-
mcnt.s were admitted in the house ror ,
almost every section of the bill and ,
in each case they w ere rcjec ed by
an overwhelming vote given by the
friends of the measure. Ten democrats ;

Threat Carried Out.
The attempt to amend the agree
ment began with the final reading of
the bill at 3 o'clock. The threats
of republicans opposed to the measure
to make the democrats vote against
amendments for free meat, free lum
ber and free agricultural machinery,
were carried out, but as their party
leaders declared that any amendment
would defont the whole trade agree
ment they cheerfully voted the am
endments down.
The republicans, who taunted them
with opposing free admission of theso
Important products, were met with
the assertion that the democrats
would ly the new "farmers free list
