Party affil iations were broken repeatedly today in the house in the concluding hours of the fight on the Canadian reciprocity bill.

Ques tioned from the Uemocrauc aiuo, ne said he opposed the reciprocity agree ment because he believed it increased many duties. He said if the Demo crats wure sincere in their desire to artlrlea on the free list. they would attach the free list to the reciprocity bill. He then accused them of wanting the president to veto their free list bill when it finally passed, so as to make political capital for them. "The progressive Republicans have never been free traders," said Len root. "I challenge anyone to point to mi anjuwh mnfl bv a nroirresHive Re publican in congress or elsewhere ad vocating free trade. I stand for a protective tariff, measuring duties by the dilierence in cost oi prouueuon i home and abroad." "President Taft," said Fordney, "will be the candidate.of the Repub lican party for re-election, and I will vote for him gladly, but I differ from him radically on this Canadian tariff question." Fordney said be had lost all the money he had put into the flour mill ing business at the time of the Wilson tariff bill, and that he had been a "dyed-in-the-wool protectionist ever since. Washington, April 18.

He said there is no reason why members of the ju- iciary should not be suDjeciea in me ill of the people as much as other officials, and that such a law would have no tendency to deprive tnai branch of the government of its inde pendence. Mr. Chamberlain reierreu w effort to reopen the case of Lorimer ami exnressed the opinion that tnis mrt,.r in not vet settled. "No matter can be," he said, "until it is settled right."

This is generally attributed tua eitnutinn in Mexico, the presi dent being unwilling to disturo tne forces on duty in the South. ' At the War department it is explained that the postponement is due to a decision to make the term of service in the Philippines two and a half years, in stead of two, as at present. Price of Timber Limited. Washington Congressman Lafferty introduced a bill to require the sale of unreserved timber land to individuals at $2.50 an acre, in tracts not exceed ing 160 acres to any one purchaser. Until two years ago the timber and stone act had been construed to re quire the sale of timber lands. ALASKAN STIAL WAS GREAT. Coal, Harbora and Transportation In Orip of Combine.

Already' the Mor-gan-Ouggenheim InteresU were In control of nearly all other harbors along the aouthern coasts the termin als of the Copper river and North western railway at Drdova bay and at Resurrection bay, where the Alaska Northern, formerly the Alaaka Cen tral, had terminals. The syndicate also had the harbor facilities at Skag way of the White Pass and Yukon, which road it controls. Only one har bor remained as the hope of te peo ple that some independent railway In terest might gain entrance into Alas ka, and that was Controller bay, a few miles to the east from Cordova bay. R.

These finally landed in the hands of Kallinger, who alone was cumuiwu uj the president in further negotiations for elimination ot me lanus m suc tion. The order was signed in ucw ber and although for 12,800 acres, no one seems to have known of it except ing those most deeply lnieresieu workers for control by the syndicate, for when information of the elimina tion of the lands, and their location, probably with soldiers' additional scrip, by friends of the syndicate, flashed forth, the whole political structure was shaken to its founda tions.
