By-Laws Ar ( hansrd.
The by-laws, which formerly placed the
power of naming a staff of officers In the
hands of the nominating committee and
which Invariably resulted In the straight
election of those nominated, were revised
In that respect. The new rule requires
the nominating committee to select a man
from each congressional district for each
office, so that their are six candidates
for each office to be voted upon by the
convention at large. It was argued that
through the old system the election was
not broad enough. Only a few accidental
candidates were permitted to get the
office and the election was a foregone
conclusion; whereas under the new system
a number of candidates will be permitted
to run for each office and the most popu
lar choice of the convention will be ex
pressed In a definite fashion.
The meeting was closed with an en
tertainment of sterloptlcon views on a

the entertainment.

gates In attendance at the theaters and i
at the Auditorium where the hardware

It was announced that the most Im
portant business of tha convention, such
as that touching the big national prob
lems of the association, will be taken
up In the session today. Questions sub

TAFT'S ULTIMATUM TO SENATE

Weather Men Launch
a Sounding Balloon
Observer Send Up First of Seriei of
Gai Bags to Probe the
Sky.
An "atmospheric sounding balloon," a
device of the weather bureau for tha in
vestigation of the upper strata of the sJr,
waa released at Fort Omaha yesterday
afternoon at 4:30 o'clock.
Thla balloon In the first of tha series
of twenty to be relessed at Fort Omaha
thla month. P. J. Sherry and N. B. Rob
ertson, observers from Mount Weather,
Va., are conducting an Investigation of the
storm centers which pass over Omaha.
Because of Omaha's peculiar location
with reference to the storm areas experi
ments are conducted here annually. Last
year a number of ballons were aent up
later In the season. A large number were
returned bearing the record of their flights
on the smoked cylinders of the recording
sets.
One of the balloons released last year
swooped down over an Iowa settlement

pursuit In his automobile and ran the

be HtUe prospect of any large measure ot
reciprocity with the United States.
Bldney Charles Buxton, president of the
Board of Trade, answered that the govern
ment was quite Immovable in Its view
tbat tariff reform would injure both this
country and the empire. He added that
the government did not share the appre
hensions of the United States In regard to
the proposed agreement.
Mr. Buxton continued:
"The agreement of Canada Is a delicate
matter to discuss without th possibility
of being misunderstood on the other aide
of the Atlantic, which Is the last thing to
be desired."
Mr. Buxton pointed out that If the policy
of imperial preference had been In force
Canada would have had to consult Great
Britain In reference thereto, with the result
that the local Interests of the dominion
would have been arrayed against Great
Britain.
Mr. Buxton argued the more Canadian
wheat goes to the United States the more
will the United States send to Great Britain,
with the result prices will decline.

Finance Minister Fielding- Corrects
Erroneous Imnreaalona.
OTTAWA, Ont., Feb. 8. Finance Minister
Fielding today took steps to correct what
are regarded here as erroneous Impressions
In the minds of the public men and on the
part of leading Journals of Great Britain
regarding the Canadian-American reciproc
ity agreement.
It can be said the Canadian government
viewed with some alarm the idea reflected
by a portion of the British press that the
agreement would have a detrimental effect
on the trade between Canada and the
mother country and would adversely affect
the preference granted to Great Britain.
Minister Fielding has taken up the matter
with Lord Stratheona, Canada's high com
missioner, in Ixindon, and on behalf of the
Canadian government has sent ths follow
ing cablegram:
"Canada Is seeking markets everywhere
for Its surplus products, subsidising steam
ship lines and sending out commercial
agents. Would It not be ridiculous In the
pursuit of such a policy to refuse to avail
Itself of ths markets of ths great nation
lying alongside?
"The expressed fear that it will seriously
airect imports irom Great Britain Is
groundless. Ths greater part of the agree
ment deals with natural products which
Great Britain does not send us. Ths range
of manufactures affected Is comparatively
small and In most cases the reductions are
small.
"It appears to bs assumed In some quar
ters that the tariff rates agreed on dls
j criminate In favor of the United States and
against Great Britain. There is no founda
tion for this.
"In every case Great Britain will still
have ths sams rate or a lower one. Can
ada's right to deal with the British aa It
pleaaes remains untouched by the agree
ment. The adoption of the agreement prob
ably will lead to some further revision of
the Canadian tariff In which the Canadian
Parliament will be entirely free to fix the
British preferential tariff at any rates.
There la no appeal, except upon constitu
tional grounds from ths rulln gof the com
mission, which srs enforceable under con
tempt proceedings."
