There are no confident predictions as to the result With various amend ments pending Bleaker v Clark and House Majority Leader Underwood are unable to figure accurately on the outlook after conferences with Demo- cratlo Senators, With reciprocity passed the Senate is proceeding with the program agreed upon for clearing up all important business that must be disposed of be fore special session ends.

Declaring the attack upon him before the Con gressional committee by ' t-amuel Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, left him no alternative but to proceed with the trial to the end Justice Wright, of the District Su preme Court, today reiterated his re fusal to certify the contempt cases of the three labor leaders, Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison, to some other member of the court. Arguing for a bill of particulars Gompers s attorney Insisted It was necessary they should know whether the alleged offenses were committed within the last two years. He said his clients expected to take advantage of the statute of limitations. The leaders appeared in court. United States District Attorney Wilson, as an Individual attorney, was added to the committee of law yers conducting the prosecution. Judge Wright Anally overruled the mclion for bills of particulars, hold ing that the charges framed by the prosecuting committee were sufficient ly specific. Later the court will hear motion that the defendants be allow ed to plead "not guilty" orally as In ordinary criminal cases without flllngi written answer.. After that motion Is disposed -of the as will .prob ably go over until reconvening of the court next falL . I, WASHINGTON,, July 22. The Sen ate at 1:40 this afternoon passed th Canadian reciprocity bill, the vote belnr 53 to 27. That body cleared the wa for the ovorwhejmlng passage of th blli.defehtlng amendment after amend ment by decisive .votes. The measure cannot become law un til, next Wednesday, as the House ad journed today until then. The bll must be returned to the House fo engrossment before It can be signer" by the President. Th amendment by Senator Sim mons, of North Carolina, putting fresh meats and meat products on the free list, was defeated 16 to 64. Simmon then offered an amendment placlns flour and cereaf products on the free list but it was defeated, 17 to 63. The Senate passed the Canadian reciprocity bii In precisely the sam. form it emerged from the House.- This brings to an end Presldeni Taft's long fight for ratification of thi pact. The Sonata overwhelmingly fa vored the measure. During the de bate which led to today's final aetlor party lines were swept way and vigorous tight waged to saddle tb measure wi'.h rUWs that friends 0 the measure claimed would mean thi defeat of the whole proportion. Arraigns Presidsnt Senator LaFollette featured in thr speech-making yesterday with a vig orous arraignment of President Taft and the bill. He attacked the Demo crats of the Senate on the ground thai they were deliberately trying to carry the tariff Issue over to the next cam palgn for political purposes, and point ed out that the Democrats had con sistently voted down amendmentt proposing general tariff reductions. Their excuse, he said, has been thai the President would not sign the reel proclty bill, If It ' was encumbered with any general tariff amendments. Several amendments to the reel proclty bill were defeated including those of Mr. Bristow, to reduce duties on lead bullion, lead paints and similar lead products and by ' Mr. Townsend for an alliance with Canada to enlarge the St Lawrence water way. There were twenty-five amend ments to the measure to be acted upon before the final vote on the pas sage of the bllL Many of these pro posed to affix general tariff changes to the agreement President Taft has insisted that any changes of this character threaten the defeat of the entire reciprocity agreement with Canada. Party Lines Disappear. Party lines have disappeared dur- inc the consideration of the bllL Tariff affiliations, to outward appear ance, have been completely changed. President Taft has had the general import of the Democrats and of tlie Kepubllcan regulars; snd In this union of forces, he hss bad enougn support so that the bill has aever been In danger of defeat or serious amendment sine the se:on began.
