Washington, June 15.?The second
day >f the debate on tin Canadian re?
ciprocity bill proved a field day for
those opposed to the measure. Mr.
Knute Nelson spoke against the bill.
uljournment Senator Penrose, In
charge of the bill felt that today's de?
bate had cleared the atmosphere, and
he stated that the general debate
w "u? Id not be of such great duration
ss had been predicted.
Senator Nelson was radically an?
tagonistic to the bill. Spirited debate
among Republican Senators was strat
ed over the paper section of the bill.
Senator Clarke, of Wyoming, and Sen?
ator Smoot, spoke.
How then, did that feature of the
agreement disappear?" asked Sena?
tor Alden, when speaking of the
amendment relating to print paper.
Apparently the Wyoming Senator
aaaeaed disposed to leave the amend?
ment there, but he said later that the
amendment was not only In harmony
with the original contract between the
two countries, but in consonance With
the Canadian bill carrying the agree?
ment Into effect. Mr. Smith was not
satisfied and demanded from Chair?
man Penrose an explanation of the
disappearance of that feature from
the bill.
"The change." he said, "occurred in
the ways and means committee of the
House and the Senator from Michigan
haows as much about it a* I do."
The effect then is to give the Ca
aadians free trade m p iper and pulp
and not to give it to ur" commented
Mr. ?mith. "and yet we are told by
the House that we must not change
a word In the Mil us It was passed
there for fear cf Imperilling It."
Mr. Nelson declared that the Ca?
nadians have outwitted the United
States).
"They fooled us into putting agri?
cultural Implements on the free list,
and they actually fooled the President
|q thai trcsty.
Mr. Nelsyn ' bf treaty to
