AMENDMENT Bf Senate Rejects Change in the Reciprocity Measure :j em urge Much Political Talk In Which Repub. Ilcau Inquires Wbo Is Iti'publlcan Leader and Is Informed tbat Ills Party Is In Mutiny and Doesn't Know a Leader. ' Washington, July 13. Senator Bai ley's free list amendment to the Ca nadian reciprocity bill was. defeated In tbe senate late yesterday by a large majority. So evident waa the margiu against it that Senator Bailey did not ask for a roll call. Pursuing the policy of enforcing the opponents of reciprocity to proceed without delay, Senator Penrose u.ged Senator Bailey to Introduce his "wool tariff amendment at once. Tbe latter did so, and the senate adjounirid with the amendment pending. It is a ntodi .Ication of the wool tariff bil' recently passed by tbe bouse and places all duties on raw and manufactured woof at a general average of thirty per cent. Tbe consideration of the reciprocity bill la expected to move with rapidity from uow on. Tbe wool am.-uduieat will probably be disposi-d of tomor row, and Senators La Folctte an I Bris tow are ready with tbeir amendments and their speeches against the bill. . 'Semi-democrats,' "borrowed demo crats," and like terms weie appliedatc the republican senators supporting the bill,, by Senator Heyburn, of Idaho, hi a speech against the measure. ' He declared that when a vote on the bi'.l Is taken, all real republicans in th senate will be opposed to it, while the "aeml-democraia .will vote tor It along with tha "fe eitnple dunrjcrits." "How can we educate the lea ler of the party back to publicaa princi ples?" asked Senator Nelson, of Min nesota. . "Wbo is the leader of the republican party V asked Hey burn. Senator Bailey declared tbat tbe re publicans were in a state of mutiny and did not know their deader. Mr. Heyburn declared that the reciprocity bill came to congress "wrapped ia the flag of the pirate." "We are told: 'Here'a the bt!J; now you pass it without any changes," said Mr. Heyburn. He declared that he opposed amend ments and their speeches were against iW"lf, because "every amendment la a splinter off the republican flagstaff of protective policy." "Tbat can't be," lnterjited Senator Clapp, "the flagstaff has been broken and the flag pulled down. 'I'll bet you seevn million republi can votes that it is not true,' said Hey burn. He added tbat be believed tbe republican would ultimately come to gether again on protective principle. ked by Senator Bailey aa to bow he would classify the insurgents. Senator Heyburn said they were "mavericks" waiting to be branded. 'If they can be rounded up In the white house lot I know bow they will be branded," aal4 Senator Bailey. Senator Heyburn characterized some of the progressives as "progressing like a crab; you can't tell which way they are going.", "This Is not the death bed of the re publican party," said Senator Heyburn referring to the split In tbe republican ranks, "but it will be the death bed of many of the men wbo are supporting this reciprocity bill, when the people realize that R means the pulling down of the protective system." Senator Dixon, of Montana, declared that he would vote for tbe Bailey amendment to the reciprocity bill and that It the reciprocity bi)l passed he would be willing to "atay until Decem ber and go through the whole tariff list" "HMlcr" Toot t.ives I .ami to City.

Court; of Carnarvon Castle EVERYTHING WELSH Welsh Music, Welsh Drninn and Welsh Costumes Consplcuous-The King Of ficiates and tbe Ceremony Was Big gest Thine; That Wale Has Seen For Centuries. . Carnarvon, Wales, July 13. The In vestlturo of the Prince of Wales by King George, according to the stately ritual prescribed centuries ago, in the great court or Carnarvon castl , today was a wonderful spectacle, aa impressive aa it was picturesque. Tbe ceremony was tbe biggest thing that Wales has known for centurlea. Everything pertaining to tha Investi ture waa distinctively Welsh. Welsh muelc, Welsh drama, Welsh costume and Welsh genius were conspicuous factors in the wonderful spectacle. Never within the history of living man has anything so aroused the national patriotism of the Welsh people. Tbe genuine enthusiasm with which the masses greeted their majesties, the fer vor with which tbey joined in- singing tbe national anthem, the wild shouts which rent the air when the Prince of Wales showed himself to the people at the conclusion of the ceremony all this, and more, must have been a' revelation to the hundreds of English visitors, to the great majority of whom it is safe to assert, tbe character of the Welsh people was an unknown quantity. The ceremony of the investiture took place in the center of the castle square opposite the main entrance. where a large platform had been erect ed. Surrounding the . platform , were.. . great tiers of seats for the accommo dation Of the privileged, spectators, who numbered more than 13..000 and included many court functionaries, civil and military officers, ecclesias tics and friends of the royal family. In addition to the many chosen repre sentatives of tbe Welsh people: The gray walla and ivy-covered, towers of the ancient castle afforded a magni ficent setting for tbe brilliant picture within the enclosure, made dazzling by the multi-colored flags and ban ners, the bright uniforms of the mili tary and the no lee brilliant robes of tbe state functionaries. The royal party detrained at a sta tion a few miles from Carnarvon and entered the town In carriages under military escort " The. procession en tered by the north road and proceeded through the main street to the castle square where they were formally re ceived and presented with addresses of welcome by the mayor and corpo ration. The royal party then entered the castle at tbe ancient Water Gate, on ihe seafront, overlooking tbe pic turesque Menai strait and Carnarvon bay. A their m.ijgtle passed within , the catttle walls the royal Welsh choir ; of 500 voice joined In the Welsh na tional anthem, "Land of Our Father" From the castle square to the Brat entrance Into tbe castle there were two separate processions, that of the Prince of Wales preceding that of the . king and queen by a few minutes.
