Victoria. B. C., Feb. 16.—The British Columbia legislature yesterday adopt ed the resolution introduced two weeks ago, condemning the reciprocity agreement between the United States and Canada. There.was only one dis senting vote. Premier McBride &poke at length on the resolntion,asserting that he regards reciprocity with the United States as unnec ssary and uncalled for by con ditions existing in Canadian trade. He said that allhongh he believes freer trade with the I'nited States would not weaken Canadian loyalty to Great iiritain. it woald not assis-t in bring ing the dominion and the mother coun try closer togethe”. He interprets the agreement as a dei)Hrtnre from the established policy '.viiich both jjarties in Canada have ■ecoguized as vital to the welfare of he dominion. OUT III SEiJ[ By Associated Press. NA^ashington, Feb. 16.—Friends and opponents alike of the joint resolution providing for a constitutional amend ment authoiizing the election of Unit ed States senators by direct vote of the people began the session of the senate today in the expectation that it would at least bring forth imi)ortant developments regarding the rneatisure. Senator Borah was determined to press the measure, but was not so sure as when he gave his notice a day or two ago that he would resort to a night session to get a vote. The resolution became the order of business at 2 o’clock. Mr. Heyburn seems to be the only senator who re mains unwilling to have a day named for a vote. The two sides are lining up in close formation. The supporters of the meas- lU’e are refusing to make new j)airs on amendments. Several requests for pairs on the Southerland amendment were flatly refused yesterday and the democrats have gone so far as to say they will break all iiairs on this projjo- sition.

Rtistiian troops will be sent forth with to t’ne district of Hi. The ex tent of tlie demonstration, it is added in the diplomatic note, will depend entirely upon the attitude assumed by China. The vital questions involved are free trade in Mongolia, th« extra-ter ritorial rights of Russians in China and the estaldishment of a, Russian consulate at Keobdo, Mongolia. ir iU’il.i ;t tl!’, t!-.. tr pr i; 1. iLK'at. f • '.n st>'-’« 'nv' arid fiiy rt^ f'i\t' such :\c b'Mrd ('f trus- 1,1 i'i\»p r, atid the i; a' oiM'idiiy I' :Mld Death Of Col Aich McLean\^,L ainX 'tMw thrrn inrn I tomorrow or Saturday to con- procession from the church, .^.ons. thito ,,ii, 1 i.ocan S iua-,-. and ijack to ihe edifice.

By Associated Press. W’’ashington, Feb. 16.—“It is a dis grace for any member of congress to urge such an ai'gument,” exclaimed Representative Scvithwick, of New York, today when Mr. I^loyd, of Mis souri, declared “it is difficult to show' the house that Morgan or Guggen heim interests need any relief.” The clash came wlien the house committee on territories reopened the iiearin.g on the bill to exempt the Copper River and NortInvestern Rail way from payment of the Alaska Railroad license tax. The control of the railroad by the Morgan and Gug genheim inierests had been admitted by Attorney Steele, who insisted the railway is a common carrier, not an exclusive outlet for the Guggenheim- Morgan lines. Following the first pass feeling be- tv.een the two was heightened when Mr. Lloyd said Mr. South wick had never shown any interest in the ses sions of the committee except on the statehood measure and the Alas ka Railway tax exemption bill. Mr. Southwick protested at Mr. Lloyd’s “personalities.” The word duel t>etw'een Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Southwick was finally over shadowed by a dispute between del egate V.ickershaui. of Alaska, ami Mr. Steele, attorney for the railway ov.ners. It was determined to allow delegate Wickersham a chance to cross examine the attorneys for tlie Guggen heim-]NIorgan interests next Monday. Commercial Bodies Protest. By Associated Press. Montgomery. Ala., Feb. 16.—Practi cally every commercial organization in Alabama is protesting against the revenue bill which has been intro duced into the legislature. Chief ob jections are found in the clauses which require that pro])erty be given in for tax assemment for at least as much as the fire insurance carried. Every fire insurance policy is re quired to be listed with the probate judge by the agent. Fire underwriters of the state are up in arms, maintaining that if the revenue bill is j)assed. millions of dollars of fire insurance will be placed out of the state annually to escape the provisions of the measure. —The water mainsr are to be ex tended on East Third street and South College. The work of laying of the 'pipes on South College street began oday. There have been rumors frequent* ly of an intention by Russia to bring pressure to bear upon China becausa of alleged violations of the Russo- Chinese treaty. That the situation was acute, however, has been denied both by the Chinese foreign board and the Russian legation at Peking. It has been, admitted that there were difftM'ences in the interpreta tions of the international agreement as made at St. Petersburg and Pe* king. The treaty adopted in 1S81 ex« pires this month ant it has been ro* ported that China vas unwilling ta renew it at least not until certain modifications have been made. The changes have been closely guared by both powders and what stage the negotiations have reached was not indicated until yesterda.V when the St. Petersburg Gazette an nounced that an important conferent# had 1,'een held at the war ministr.v to consider “China’s persistent flout ing of treaty stipulations.” Thep rovince of Hi, to which Rus- rian troops will be sent, lies in tho northern part of the Chinese empire. By a provision of the Russo-Chinesa treaty of IS81 the w'estern portion of Hi is incorporated with Russia itt order to serve as a place of estab lishment for the inhabitants of Rus* sia. wlio having adopted Russian de pendence, had to abandon the landt which they possessed there. On the question of free trade ill Mongolia, article 12 of the treaty says in part: “Russian subjects are authori^'ed to carry on as in the ])ast, trade free of duties in ^Mongolia subject to China as well as in i)!aces where there is a Chinese administration as in theos» where there is none. Russian subje'^ta will equally enjoy the right of carry ing on trade free of duty in the towns and other localities of the province* of Hi, of Tar'iagatai, of Kassagar, of Urumtsi and otiiers situated on the slopes north and south of the chain of the Tien-Slian as far as the great wall. This immunity will be abrogated when the development of the trade necessi tates the establishment of a customfi tariff confonnalile to an un;]erstandin,g to be come to by the two govern- iiients.” ♦ O Charlotte, X.
