Jan. 30.?Several d; > ago John O Richards, Jr., a member of the railroad commission, called ui the office of Oov. UlSSM to pay hi* r?speets, according to (Jov. Hlease. Just before Mr. Richards left the office Go\. I Mease said that he was sorry that Mr. Richards had accepte d the appointment as railroad commis? sioner as he had a better job In Vi*W for him. Mr. Richards asked Oov. Ill* as, what might be the nature of the place. Oov. Blease replied that he had intended to appoint him as commis? sioner of agriculture, commerce and Industries to take the place of E. J. Watson. Following this Incident there were rumors that Gov. Dlease intended* to have a general shaking up in the de? partment of agriculture and that John Q. Richards, Jr., A. D. Hudson or E. H. Aull would be appointed to succeed Commissioner Watson. Yesterday Gov. Dlease was askod If he Intended to dismiss Commis? sioner Watson. He said that he had not stated that he would do so. Mr. Watson's term of office expires in 1912. He was again asked if he intended ta dismiss Mr. Watson. In answer he re? lated the above Incident of his desire that Mr. Richards become the com? missioner of agriculture, comnnn < and Industries. The department of agriculture Was built up by Commissioner Watson, who was appointed under Gov. Hey ward. The department is consider- d one of the most efficient in the United States.

REGIPRQOifY WITH mm. PRESIDENT BENDS TO CONGRESS, WITH MESSAGE URGING ITS PASSAGE. An Outline of Trade Agreement Be? tween United stairs and Canada? Affect* Articles Worth In the Ag? gregate Nearly $800,000,000?Cot? tonseed oil to Go inm Dominion Free?Prim Paper to Come to Am erica Without Duty. Washington) Jan. lm;.?Within U Bl than 10 mouths after the initiation by President Taft of negotiation! with the Canadian government there was laid simultaneously before the Amer? ican congress at Washington and the Canadian parliament at Ottawa toda> a reciprocity arrangement, which, if approved by the legislative brancn s of the two governments, will surely do much, in the opinion of the nego? tiators, to enlarge and liberalize the trade between the United States and Canada. Usually such arrangements take the form of a treaty, but In the present Instance this was not done, with the result that considerable time will be saved in the consummation of the agreement which can be made ef? fective by a simple majority vote in each of the two legislatures. In the case of treaty it would be necessary In the United States at least to have the approval of a full two-thirds of the senate, but now the way is clear for the ways and means committee of the house and the finance committee of the senate to proceed as it would with any tariff bill. The animating purpose! of Secre? tary Knox appears to have been to lecure a reduction of the "high cost of living" by greatly enlarging the free list so far as it relate! to food? stuffs coming from Canada. On the other hand, he secured a notable abatement of duties on a number of American product! consumed in Canada. It id a notable fact that no less than 91 per cent of the Canadian guilds imported int.. tie- Cnited State! will benefit by considerable reduc? tions of duty and only 9 per cent of America*! Canadian imports will re? main unaffected. The agreement to become effective must be put in the shape of law amendatory of the existing tariff acts in the United States and in Canada and it will require sharp work to ac- j compllsh this so far as congress is concerned in the brief time remain? ing of the present .c.essi>n. The terms of the new re? ciprocity agreement between the United States and Canada were announced simultaneously here and at Ottawa today. The agreement provides reciprocity on leading food products and place! on the free list certain commodities, such as cotton? seed oil by Canada and rough lumber by the l'nltt d States, and some raw mate rials. Prlnltlng paper is to be? come free on the removal by Canada, .f all restrictions on the exportation of pulp Wood. Urging to the prompt passage <?f a reciprocity treaty between the Cnited States and Canada President Taft to? day lent to congress a special message acc impanled by the agreement look ins' ?o such treaty, reached by repre? sentative! ef the Canadian govern? ment and of the state department b< recent conference in this city. "identity of Interest! of two peo pics linked together by race, Ian i.ige, political institutions and geo? graphical proximity*1 th( president glvei as the* chief reason! for such reciprocity a! he recomm nds. Mr. Taft urges liberality of view in dealing with the proposed treaty. After speaking of efforts mad' pre vlou! t.< the conference lure this month to bring about a treaty agree? ment between the two countries, he Pays: "The path having been thus opened for the Improvements of com? mercial relations, a reciprocal trade greement is the logical sequence of all that has been accomplished In disposing of matters of a diplomatic ami controversial character. "No yardstick can measure the benefit! to the people! of tie- freer commercial intercourse und no trade agreement should be judged wholly by custom house statistics.

President Taft holds that a com? mercial agreement with Canada "by which we shall have direct access to her great supply of natural products without an obstructing or prohibitory tariff is not a violation of the protec? tive principle because that principle does not call for a tariff between this country and one whose conditions as to production, population and wages are so like ours, and when our com? mon boundary line of 3.?U0 miles in itself must make a radical distinction between our commercial treatment of Canada and of any other country." The president says that the Can? adians "soon must decide whether they are to regard themselves as isolated pormanently or whether we are to la> commercial friends. If we give them reason to take the former view," he adds, "can we complain If they adopt methods denying access to certain of their natural resources except upon conditions quite unfav? orable to US? A notable instance of such a possibility may be seen in the conditions surrounding the supply of pulp wood and the manufacture of print paper, for which we have made a conditional pre vision on the agree? ment, believed to be equitable. Should we not no**, therefore, before their policy for change, facilitate commerce I between the two countries and thus greatly Increase the natural resources available to our people?" As to the effect of tile treaty Would nave on the cost of living in tin Uni? ted States, the president says: 'I do not Wt*h to hold out the pros Meet that the unrestricted Interchange of iced products win greatly and at ? nee reduce their cost to the people of this country.

Results of Charges Affecting Moral Character of Officer?Roqneat f< r Resignation Made by Secretary of Navy by Direction of Pre*.!* nt. Allowing Report on Barry's Al? leged scandalous Conduct fron Captain ol* Mis Flagship. Washington, Jan. 27.?By direction Of the President Real Admiral W. 1*'. liarry, former commandant or the Pacific fleet, today submitted his i\ sig- < nation "for the good of the service." It was immediately accepted. The enforced resignation is the outgrowth of charges which have been in cir? culation affecting the moral charac? ter ->f the naval officer. Secretary of the Navy Meyer today announced that, on instructions from the President, he telegrahped last right to Admiral liarry asking that he submit his resignation. The resignation severing the Ad? miral's connection with the American navy, after 4 5 years of active service, was received today and his name was at once stricken from the list of na? val officers. This act naturally tei - n nated his salary from the govern? ment. In response to a telegraphic request. Admiral Barry was placed on the re? tired list of the* navy on January 14, several months in advance of the date on which he would have retired by operation of law Eiil right to se? k voluntary retireim nt was his privil? ege under the law. The Secretary of the Navy took up the request with the President and it was promptly ap? proved. Later, however, reports began to emanate from San Francisco to the effect that Admiral Parry's retirement was forced by a demand that he re? sign on account of alleged scandalous conduct. It was aded that the officers of the cruiser West Virginia, Admiral Barry's flagship, were not satisfied with retirement, but insisted upon h's r< signing. The Secretary of the Navy took cognizance of the reports and called upon Capt Orchard, of the West Vir? ginia, for a formal statement, mean? while ordering Admiral Parry to re main In San Francisco until further orders. Capt. Orchard's rep art was received by the navy department sev? eral days ago, when it was submitted to the Presidi nt, and the enforced resignation of the officer followed. Pear Admiral Parry was born In New York city and was graduated from the Cnited States Naval Aca? demy In the class of 1S69. He has cruised in all parts of the world, his sea service covering a period of over 2 7 years, and has held many import? ant assignments. During the Spanish war he took part in the blockade of Havana, the attack on Matansas and the search for tin- Spanish f'? et in Bahama Channel. He took part in the negotiations with Gen. Maceo, re? sulting in the armistice. He com? manded the gunboat Vlcksburg when that vessel participated in the capture of Aguinaldo. In May, 11)01?, soon after his pro? motion to the grade of rear admiral, he assumed command of the see aid division of the PaclAc fleet, and S6V ? ral months later was placed in su? preme command of the entire fleet.
