AFTER LONG FIGHT
Longworth Says President Is
Republican With Demo

FQBEIGNHOMESO
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. After a
ten years' struggle in the house today
pawed a bill providing fur the pur
chase and construction of American
embassies .legations, and consular
buildings abroad . The measure was
' put through under a suspension f
the rules by a standing ivoto of 141
to 88 the announcement of the ro
1 suit by the speakei being greeted
with applause. - The senate, w hich
on several occasions in tho past has
passed) similar bills is expected to
ratify today's , action of . the house.
Representative Lowden ,of Illinois,
author of the bill led ttte tight for
i J I, seconded by Representative Long
; worth of Ohio. The opposition to
the measure came from the demo
cratic side, Representatives Cullop
of" Indiana, and Underwood of Ala
bama, making the principal speech
es. Mr. Lowdcn declared that every
secretary from Olney down had urg
ed the adoption of such legislation.
Mr. Longworth declared that there
were only two ways ,of broadening
the scope of the American diplomat
ic corps and taking it out of the
realm of the millionaire. One was
to increase the salaries so as to en
able a comparatively poor man to
live on a scale with his colleagues,
and the other. was to provide him
'with a suitable house In winch to live
Office Holding; Aristocracy.

two things," said Mr. Longworth,
, has developed: in this country an office-holding
aristocracy which la .iw

that depends not upon birth but up
on might of money."
Mr .Longworth appealed especial-;

CONSIDERING OFFER
WASIUNliTi'N. Feb. 7. The war

International aviators, Ihreiugli Al

seven aeroplanes and aviators to
manage them for the use of the ar

General Wood, chief of staff, re
plied that the offer will be taken
under consideration;. The In'ormi
tlonal aviators have been jgivln avi

ly and now are at San Antonio.
Texas, so that tlv ir machines easily
could be taken to tin botindarv.
President Taft Ik opposed to h i' -Ing

stage as far. as its connection with
actual warfare Is concerned. lie

neropianes along the Mexican honlcr,
he thinks that It will be hard fi r
an aviator four hundred feet or more
up in the air to distinguish very
clearly Just what the situation below
Is. The president thinks it 'vi:i be
better to let other countries do more
of the preliminary work in discover -tng
the use of aeroplanes In wir and
that there -will be plenty of time
later on for the I'nlted States to
garner the harvest of good- results,

Leaders of Both Sides As

Attitudes
BONILLA HOLDS OUT
WASHINGTON", Feb. 7. The ne
gotiations looking to the csab!isl;
ment of an nrmistic In Honduras ate
seriously threatened with a deadlock.
This is due to the government ami
revolutionary authorities having as
sumed attitude diametrically oppo
site in regard to the conditions whle'i
shall govern tin- acceptance of an
armistic.
The hitch in the negotiations de
veloped today in dispatches received
by the state department from Tegu
cigalpa and Puerto t'ortez.
Pending the proposed discussion
between represent. llives of .leneral
Honllla and President I'uvila to." the
purpose of establishing it truce, the
government officials insist. ' that the
statute quo in the situation shall he
maintained and that the revolution
ists shall not he allowed to enter
Puerto Cortez or San Pedro Sula
which hYo been evacuated by 1 lie
federal forces.
General Monila declared that he
will accept the a.rmistie only on con
dition that he is permitted t,, occu
py Puerto Cortes!. Puerto c(rt"Z Is
the most important port on the nor
thern coast of Honduras arid s the
federal forces abandoned It because
the revolutionary army Intended to
capture It, It seems that the leader
of the revolutionary fore-c. is unwil
ling to lose the advantage which
would he jrained by its occupr-rts.
The government troops on Sunday
recaptured Hun Marcos on the Nlc
arHguan frontier, aceerding to a dis
patch received nt the state depart
ment from the American legation at
Tegucigalpa. The revolutionists were
reported to be moving from Yoro
in the direction of Fnlaco, which Is
several miles westward. Fresh ru
mors are In circulation in Honduras
that men are coming from the in
terior of Guatemala en route to
Ceiba, which is in the hands of the
revolutionists. .
ERSOF
TREAT!
Especially Paper and Wood
Pulp Sections of The Pro- .
posed Agreement
CLAIM MADE THAT
CLAUSE IS ONE SIDED
Particular Clause Is One Which
May be Settled by Fur
ther Negotiations
WASHINGTON'. Feb. 7. -As a re
sult of the growing belief that the
paper and pulp wood provisions of
the new Canadian reciprocity agree
ment will oprate one-sidedly to
benelit the dominion without a cor
responding benefit to the United
States, an important chango is likely
to be made by congress in the mea
sure before It Is ratified.
Paper manufacturers and others
who have studied the ugreisnent
closely believe that the language of
the agreement is so drawn that the
United States may be compelled to
admit paper free before Canada com
piles with her part of the agreement.
Tho situation has been presented to
the ways and means committee of the
house in such a strong . light that
many members pf that committee
are satisfied that tho agreement be
tween tho two countries on the paper
and pulp. provisions Is open to a con
struction which v.'lll be distinctly to
the disadvantage of the American
manufacturers. ,
Only Tentative AgpeviiK-nt
Secretary Knox, of the state depart
ment sent a letter to the committee
today staling that the commissioners,
who frame the reciprocal arrange
ment, had arrived at only a tenta
tive agreement upon the paper sche
dule. It can be changed, he said,
without defeating the rest of the
treaty; and lta adjustment can be left
tV future negotiations or future action
of congress. , f ,
' The trouble arlies over the dis
tinction,, in Canada . between 'orown
rulings that the treasury department
at Washington has made no ruling
on this subject. Where Canadian
provinces prohibit -the exportation of
pulp logs, it -Is from "crown lands."
Tho provinces have no power to pro
