For a quarter of an hour the senate w^s In executive session. .At Its conclusion, no one being ready to speak .n the measure ami follow? ing the parliamentary custom of that body. Vice President Sherman an? nounced thac the bill would be re? ported from the committee of the whole to the senate. The bill actually passed through til the stages of being reported to tho eanate before nmmhers realiz?al what was going on.

Senators Nelson, Bris tow, Clapp and Bailey Joined In tin protest that arose when it was seen what had happened to the bill. At first Senator Penrose objected to having the moasure reinstated in l ie committee of the whole. He said the senate had shown no disposition to hurry In Its consideration of the bill and had rejected his proposal for a definite time for a vote on the measure. He therefore thought no backward step should be taken. Friends of the bill on the Democratic Side, led bv Senators Stone and Bacon, said the senate had evidently been off Its guard and had permitted the bill to be advanced unlntention airy. Senator Penrose finely con? sented to have It restored to Its for? mer I itus. * The feeling that d .

Insurgents objected to any defln its date for the reciprocity vote and the finance commute was extricated from the smbarrasslng position of having the other v??tes determined by an objection from Senator Smoot. Several Dem??? raH and Insurgents would have welcomed the fixing of the other two dates, so that the tar? iff bills cubl he forced up to Presi? dent Taft ahead of the reciprocity bill, and the latter held back as a means of forcing his signature to tho others.

COMMITTEE FINDS DERELICTION IN STATE DEPARTMENT. Dismissal of Consul Ocnerul tit Cal? cutta and Disbursing Clerk Rec? ommended h> Congressmen. Washington, June 28.?ESxpr? *sl ig the belief that there was a misap proprlation of State department funds and recommending as a i" nit, tho dismissal fr< m tin service of William li.

Tiie alleged misappropriation oc? curred in connection with the pur? chase of a portrait of Associate Jus? tice Day, foinnr secretary of state, and amounted to 11,600. Only $850 was paid to Albert Roe enthal, the artist who painted the pic? ture, w here;!.>, the committee luri ig its investigations traced to a single voucher the sum of $2.450, on which voucher were written the words "for portrait and frame of ex-Secretary Day." Neither the president nor the sec? retary of state, according to the re? port, has tin- right to pay for por? traits for fornn r secretaries <?f s^ate from the emergency fund from which lame the money to pay for tlie por? trait in question. Tin testimony hav? ing showed that the $1.G00 accounted for as in the hands of Morrison as disbursing clerk and of Michael as chief clerk, the committee holds that the money was misappropriated either by Michael and Morrison join? tly, or by Michael alone. The mysterious" finding of the voucher for $2,450 which was re? ported lost when the committee began it- investigation, but which later was discovered by a messenger or. the door in the disbursing clerk's office is criticised by the committee in its report as beyond human belief. Both Morrison and Michael should be re? moved from office, in the opinion of the committee, for the good of the public service.

ISoruli und < iimmiii* Think Kill Would Mean Betrayal uf Agricultural In? terests ol' Nation. Washington, Jim.- 28. This was a day of bitter arraignment of the Canadian reciprocity hill In the gen ate. Beginning with Senator Cum mins' attack on the measure as legis ...tion unjust t<< the agricultural in? terests and concluding with Senator Borah's denunciation of ihe bill as Republican betrayal of tn? farming interests, the d< bate was all antagon? istic to the agreement and critical to the president and his methods. Tin* senate gave but partial atten? tion to the sp< eches, although they were among the most Important that will be made against the bill. Several times a call of the s< nate w ls de? manded, and Senator Nelson of Min m sota, finally proposed that as ?n little attention was given to the sub? ject the senate take a recess until November or December. Senator Cummins, who will con? tinue his speech tomorrow, not only attacked tie- construction <-f the reci? procity agreement Itself, which he said put the whole burden of free trade noon the farm r without giving him and benefits in the j:uise of re? duction of duty on manufactured pro? ducts, but criticised als > the power exercised by the president to ne? gotiate It and to bring i: to the point of a definite agreement between the two countries. "Seems the day had come for the farmer," dec lared Senator Communis, "the day in which he is to be ex? cluded from benefits of the protective tariff; the decree has been written, it needs only the official signature for the time being to exclude him from the company of the m:\nufacturers of the United States." Senator Borah's criticism was based on the record of the Republican par? ty as the advocate of protection for the farmer. He quoted at length from Republican platforms, campaign documents, campaign arguments and definitions of policy to show that the abolition of th protection on farm products wsws a reversal of all Repub? lican policy. Senator Rorah said boTb nolftioat ?>ir*??.?? nre now striving! ? ? lc party ami the edmimsUaiion, ... terjected Senator Brlstow. Senator Corah declared reciprocity in agricultural products was either a denial of the principal f >r which the Republican had heretofore stood, or a course <?f brutal betrayal of the most loyal constituency ;he party or? ganization has ever had. "No age hi the political history can equal this betrayal by the Repub? lican party of this great and loyal constituency," declared Mr. Borah.
