I SOME HOT TALK i Division n Recpracitj Ma; Caste Split in Republican Parly. REVOLT BECOMES OPEN Republican Senators From the Northwestern States Declare that the Reciprocity BUI Is a Blow at the Keystone of Protection and Unfair to the Farmers. 'Republican opposition to the Canadian reciprocity bill in the senate reached the stage of open revolt Monday. Led by Senator Dixon of Montana, who again failed in his demand for an explanation or a speech in favor of the bill from some of the Republican leaders who champion the measure, the Republican opponents declared that if the bill passed, many Republicans would Join the Democrats in an attempt to lower the duties on all unmanufactured products. "When the cornerstone is pulled out of the system of protective tariff," said Senator Dixson, "when the farmers' products are thrown into a free market while his purchases continue to be protected, there are many good protectionists in the Republican ranks here who will vote to have the duties pulled down on iron and steel, chemicals, cotton and many other things." Other Northwestern Republicans signaled their approval o fthe Montana senator's words that the passage of the reciprocity bill, which It is admitted will have a majority of the votes in the senate, will be attended with a fight that threatens to throw open the whole tariff subject "We want to make one killing," declared Senator Crawford of South Dakota. "We find the senators from Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Maine, States that have always reaped the greatest harvest of protection, advocating this free list every single article raised in the Northwest. I want to push this matter in its entirety. If Pennsylvania, Misssissippi and Massachusetts have joined hands in a new political* propaganda, it is time for the rest of the country to strike out on a new tack." "If you can get enough senators on that side with you," returned Sena tor Bailey, of Texas, "we will take one of these bills now coming over from the house and make a whole new tarifT law out of it.*' Senator Bailey declared there would be no adjournment until the senate had acted upon the free list . hill. Reciprocity came before the senate with the Root amendment, affecting the importation of pulp wood and paper from Canada, as the matter for immedlaae consideration. This amendrae?it was again laid aside because of Senator Root's absence. Dater he came into the chamber, but said he would not be ready to discuss the amendment until Wednesday. Opponents of the bill, including Messrs. Bailey, Dixon, Cummins and Smith of Michigan, then demanded an explanation or speech from some one in favor of the measure. Several ?f?nAt.ors said thev would not speak against the bill until they had heard some word in its support. Senator Root made a brief expla nation of the reason for offering his amendment, which require? Canadian provinces to remove export restrictions before pulp wood and paper are admitted free. References to President Taft's speeches in favor of reciprocity and his criticism of the Root amendment were met by Senator Root with the statement that he would not dincuss newspaper quotations. Senator Bailey declared he proposed to discuss them; that if the president could criticise legislation and attempt to influence the senate in open speeches, the senate should feel free to discuss and criticise the president. Senator Williams of Mississippi insisted that President Taft is not open to critclsm for his efforts to secure the passage of the Canadian reciprocity bill. In a direct attack upon the Root amendment Senator Williams contended that if it were adopted, no Canadian paper and wool pulp would come into the United State free of duty until all Canadian provinces had removed their export restrictions and that the influence of the "paper trust" would result in preventing its ever coming in free. "Those who would continue the present grip of the International Paper company will vote for the amendment," he said with much intensity, "while those who wish to remove that strangling hold will vote against It."

THAT SLUSH FUND THE ILLINOIS SOLONS KNOW ABOUT JACKPOTS. Hopkins, Defeated by Lorimer, Says Corruption Funds is a Tradition of Illinois Politics.. "Jackpots" or corruption funds in tbo Illinois legislature constitute "one of the traditions of politics in Illinois," according to the testimony of Former Senator Albert J. Hopkins Friday before the Lorimer inveetigating committee of the Senate, at Washington. Senator Lorimer succeeded Mr. Hopkins. Whether any of the "jackpot" funds or other corruption funds had been used to defeat him for senator he was unable to tell the committee of his own knowledge. The only other witness of the day was Edgar A. Bancroft, general counsel for the International Harvester company. His testimony was to the effect that Clarence S. Funk, general manager of the company, had told him of an alleged attempt of "Mr. Hiries" or "Edward Hines" to raise money to meet the expenses of electing Lorimer. Mr. Hopkins declined to answer specific questions as to whether he suspected Lorimer was using corrupt methods to defeat him,or as to whether or not he believed certain members of the Legislature had been bought. Mr. Hanrey, counsel for Mr. Lorimer. protested against the witness leaving the stand without expressing an opinion on the rumor that the 5 3 Democrats who voted for Lorimer on the last ballot received money. "It leaves a cloud on those men," insisted the counsel. The Committee did not require the witness to answer as to personal relation between the witness and Senator Lorimer. Mr. Hopkins said Mr. Lorimer had told him he would oppose his candidacy. Mr. Bancroft, in relating what Mr. Funk had told him, said that he was told Mr. Hines had asked to contribute for the company $10,000 to meet the expenses of Senator Lorimer's election. Mr. Bancroft told of Mr. Funk asking his advice as to whether he should make public the alleged request. This was during the consideration of the Lorimer case by the senate. Members of the company asked the attorney if he did not consider his own duty to have been to notify the first Lorimer investigating committee of thia matter. Mr. Bancroft replied that at the time he did not consider the matter to be so important as it is now regarded and therefore not important enough to justify an attack on the company. Judge Hynes asked who was expected to make this attack and the witness replied that Lorimer and his friends were feared because they "'were in conflict with those who opposed them." * ? DHOUGTH IS IIROKEX. Tlio Crops Will Be Greatly Beneflttea in the South. According to the weather bureau rainfall has been general in the last few days over almost the entire cotton bolt. The South Atlantic States, east and middle Gulf States and southeastern Texas reported good showers. Only in occasional spots in the territory named does the long drought still prevail. Much of this section had been without rai nfor a month and the precipitation or ine past three days has been worth perhaps millions of dollars to Southern farmers. Some parts of South Carolina still need rain. *. Will Establish n Rank. The Bank of Eutawville has been commissioned with capital stock of $25,000. The bank was commissioned last fall with B. A. Hagood ana Wilson G. Harvey as tho petitioners, but a letter received at the office of the Secretary of State asks that the transfer of petition bo made to E. M. Pringle and Hyman Pearlstine, of Charleston. This was done ana the new commission is issued. Negroes Were Attacked. The strike in New York among the steamboat and railroad men still continues. A score of negro strike breakers escorted by police were attacked on West street Tuesday by a crowd of 500 strikers and sympathizers. Stones were thrown and the negroes fled Police reserves repulsed the crowd and several arrests were made. Fatal Political Fight. As a result of a quarrel over polltics Monday afternoon In Charleston, Hugh Hartnett shot Frank Leonard three times. The men belonged to opposing political sides. Leonard Is not seriously injured, the wounds being reported to only be painful. It Is the first shooting scrape of the present municipal campaign. *. Better and Out of Danger. Mrs. Lea, wife of United States Senator Lea, of Tennessee, whose life is believed to have been saved by the transfusion into her veins of a quart of her husband's blood was I pronounced to be out of danger. GORE'S SARCASM Mikes Senitsr McCumWs Oppesitiea It Reciprocity Treaty APPEAR RIDICULOUS How the Blind Senator Took All the Wind Out of the North Dakota Senator's Sails, Which Was Great> ly Enjoyed by I*resident Taft and Others. One of the finest pieces of sarcasm in the recent records of Congress went to the credit of Senator Thos. P. Gore, Oklahoma's blind genius, at last Wednesday's session of the Senate. Mr. Gore has been saying very little at the extra session, rarely rising except to introduce a bill or to make a brief inquiry. At the close of a long and lugubrious speech by Senator Cumber, of North Dakota, Wednesday, in opposition to the Canadian reciprocity bill, however, Mr. Gore gave a brilliant display of his gifts as a speaker. While Mr. McCumber was wiping from his fevered brow the perspiration resulting from his terrific assault on reciprocity as a menace to the prosperity of our farming in terests, Senator Gore arose and in his clear voice, clean-cut enunciation and faultless infection, without hesitating a moment for the right word, and also without even the semblance of a smile, asked to have printed in the Record a speech recently delivered in the Canadian Parliament by one, Mr. Sexsmith. predicting for Canada, as a result of the reciprocity treaty, not only agricultural decline and industrial suffering, but complete national disintegration. In explaining his request that the Sexsmith speech should be printed, Senator Gore delivered this little masterpiece, over which nobody has chuckled with more delight than the President of the United States: "According to the prophetic vision, aorordinir to the argument conclusive and unanswerable argument of Mr. Sexsmith and the Senator from North Dakota, the fair and fruitful fields of the Dominion and of this Republic are destined soon to become a weltering waste of wreck and ruin. "Mr. President, the section of this Union now designated as Arizona and* New Mexico was once peopled by a prosperous and enlightened race now known as the Cliff Dwellers. The ruins of their former prosperity still mark the desolate mountain sides of that distant region. They were brought to an untimely end through some unaccountable cata clysm of nature. The remains of those people are still found with their hands elapsed upon their mouths as if protecting themselves against the noxious fumes and e\ halations from a quaking and distracted earth. "Mr. President, when ruin comes again upon the people of this country, shared by our neighbors to the northward, it will not be through poisoning the air that they breathe. Sir, it will be through a removal of the tax upon the bread that they eat, a removal of the tax upon the wheat and cattle which thty import from the Dominion of Canada, and our neighbors will suffer a similar catastrophe from the removal of the tax on the wheat and on the cattle which they import from the United States I repeat, sir, not from too little breath, .but from too much bread. ''iQ./vtyhs mnv ninrvpl thnt snr?h rp suits should flow from this Canadian agreement, but I suppose the fact that it is to precipitate disaster upon both the countries results from that ancient and established canon ofphilosophy that like causes produce like effects, and it would be unfair for this agreement to precipitate chaos and ruin in the United States without precipitating a similar fate upon the inhabitants of Canada. "I wish to print this speech, so that when these two lands now fair, fruitful and prosperous, shall become a weltering waste; when the traveller of the future impelled by curiosity, shall wander through this land, now prosperous, then desolate, shall find deposited in the cornerstone of that mausoleum in which our hopes, opr prosperity and our destiny are entombed tho speech of the Senator from North Dakota, accompanied by tho speech of Mr. Sexsmith, of the Canadian Parliament, accounting for the catastrophe which overwhelmed this matchless Republic and splendid Dominon toward the Northrn Star. ?
