The lahnrltes and the nationalists voted with the government. WASHINGTON. Feb. 9 -The fiist tun In the congressional battle over Canadian reciprocity was fired In the senate today. flenator Beverldge of lmllnna, an Insur gent, was the marksman, and he lined up on the aide of the administration. He did not make a pretense of representing others nf tli progressive republican ea:np. Mr. Beverldge welcomed the campact as the fit at concrete evidence of the estab lishment of such relations with Canada, as ha thought the I'nlted Statea should main tain with a country ao closely adjoined pbsslrally and with a people so Intimately aUltd with Americana In kinship and In terest. Contending for the Importance of the principle Involved, he urged the neces sity for prompt and decided action. The details, he said, were of compare- tlvely little significance and might well h J left to future adjustment. Friendship Instead of Hostility. 'fball the United States and Canada be gin the policy cf mutual trade concessions and commercial friendliness? Or Khali we make permanent the policy of trade ob struction and commercial hostility between tha countries?" Thus asking, Mr. Beverldge said these were tlte real questions which must be an swered in dealing with the reciprocal agree ment. Ills general position was then an nounced as follows: "If some think that the agreement is not all that It should be be, a use nf the treat ment of a few articles, the. answer that even If this objection la sound as to those few details, jet It Is negligible when com- r...i .in, h. i.n..in ..r n t hi- I g...t national pilcy established.

What we need la to make It ta.v for our people to buy from Canada those things which our people need instead of making It hard for them to do ao." Argument was then presented to show that the natural resource of Canada luigbt be depended on to reduce the cost of living t:t this country and to replenish the loss suffered by the premature destruction of American resources. t'O MM ON) DKHATKM T UK. 4 TV Convention, with t'anndn la IMscnssed liy House of Commons. t I.ONIRIN,' Feb. 9. The debate on the opposition's fisoal amendment to the reply 10 the apeech from the throne was resumed !n the llouso of Commons today by Alfred I.) tleton, former secretary of stale for tha colonies, who denied Prem'er Asqulth's tatement that American-Canadian recipro city waa Inevitable. Mr. I.ytlcton It was clear that up to 1W7 the oruclul ' period, when Premier ljurler declared he did not wish recipro city with the United Statea, and offered preference, to the United Kingdom, which the British government refused, the mood of Canada waa against a cutnmercin1 utiiu.i with the United States. The British gov ernment's refusal advai fed by five or ten ears Canada's acceptance of the Ameri can c.ffer. Mr. Asqulth. In reply, maintained that! the Amerlcan-Canadt, reciprocity would Hot affect any article In which the United Kingdom was seriously concerned. A. J. Biilfour. leader of the opposition. took the ground that what Mr. Asqu'th had termed un "Imposture" h:id received the endoisement of very one of the co.omal premiere. The root of the government s objection to colonial iircf. renc he sr. Id. wus tluir disinclination to treat the colonics better than forc'sn nation" were treated. Tmu l.rittslalarra un Trrut).

Witnesses for the government previously testified that the corporation had agreed to build "shacks" on the clainiH of the entry-men. but Mr. Townsend declared these statementa to be untrue.
