DEBATE WILL BEGIN AT ONCE Democrats ole t Miillfil) In F a vor of Ihe llnlliin Mel nil ami D.ilrell ft Control (lie 'Time. U ASIUNGTON. Feb. I3.-The houde by a vote of I'd to 121 deridol i nlay to begin Immediate consldet atlon of the McCatl bill carrying out the recipiocily agreement with Canada. No agreement has been reached as to the limit of debate, but the bill may be passed today. Hlilic- the vote lo displace the regular order for today on thn house calendar and take up reciprocity cannot be accepted hs an exact Indication of the final vole on the bill. It is regarded as being approximately so. The votes against taking up the meas ure came almost wholly from- tie republi can's side. The democrats voted almost solidly for Immediate consideration, fume of the republicans who voted against dis placing the renular order are not expected to place themselves on record agAinst reci procity at a final sjote. Mr. McCall of Massachusetts, will handle tho time for debate In favor of the bill, end Mr. 1'alzdl of Pennsylvania, will eerie in like capacity for th opposition. At o'clock It was stated that no at tempt would be made to get the measure to a vote toda. Dill lie fore Whole Committee.- The bill Is first being considered by the house as committee of the "whole. Speaker Cannon calh-d . Ropfosentatl ve Mann of Illinois to the chair to pres de over the committee during the considera tion of the measure. ' In the earlier proceedings Mr. Cannon, by recognizing Mr. McCall and declaring his motion to take up the reciprocity' bill a privileged matter, had shown a disposi tion to help tl.e cause along to a vote, despite the sentiments against reciprocity which he expressed in a letter to the Illi nois legislature on fc-'aturday. Representative Hill of Connecticut, one i of the republican members of the commit tee on ways and means, was recognlxed for one hour In support of the reciprocity agreement. When he began to apeak the house was In much confusion and Mr. Hill asked for close attention. "Come over on thla side.'i suggested Rep resentative Fitzgerald of New York, a democrat. "We'll listen to you and this is where you'll get your vutes." Intense Interest. In Vote. The voting on the motion to take up the reciprocity measure was followed with the keenest interest. On a yea and nay vote there are always two calls through the al phabetical list. At the end of the first ca.ll It was seen that the reciprocity advocates were win ning. The vote then was: ' Ayes, ITS; noes, lk At the end of the. second call tile vote was announced aa 1D5 to 121. This was later changed lo 190 to 121 to correct a clerical error. An analysis of the vote to take up the , McCall bill showed this result: For Republicans, - 60; democrats, 136; total, 196. Against Republicans, 101; democrats, 20; total, 121. Th republican Insurgents 'attitude to ward reciprocity was shown by the fact that fourteen voted against consideration and only six for It. Mr. Hill's opening argument In favor of the - agreement followed cjoeely the lines laid 'down and tle facts set forth In the majority report from the ways and means committee. He was Interrupted from t me to time, by question. Asked if he was in favor of free trade with Canada, Mr. Hill said he favored unrestricted trade with every country where the cot of production did not differ from that In the United States. ' V Mr. Hill declared that talk of injury to various Interests In tha United States as a result of reciprocity was "not based on facts. Mr. Hill said that no amendment could be put Into the bill, except In the wood pulp section, without disturbing his whole agreement with Canada. He refused to dis cuss the wood pulp clause,, leaving that to Representatlev Mann of Illinois. Mr. Hill pleaded earnestly for support of the agree ment, saying It would bring the English speaking people of North 'America into a closer commercial union, as would be of distinct advantage to both. The opening speech against the reci procity 'measure was made by Representa tive Gains of West Virginia, a republican member of the ways and means committee. Mr. Cains declared the consideration of the bill had proceeded with "Indecent haste" and that no Idea had a yet been given to the house as to the contents of the McCall bill.

The French government Is much interested In the plan for recip rocal trade relations maturing between the two greal ifov ti mm ntj of North America, while Kuneh expoiters are plainly appre hensive.
