TARIFF AGREEMENT WITH CANADA TO BE ANNOUNCED Washington.—The announcement of the new tariff agreement with Canada was awaited with the greatest anxiety by legislative leaders in Washington. The agreement will be known simul taneously here'and at Ottawa at 4 o'clock this afternoon. It is regarded as one of the most Im portant acts in President Taft's career a* president, involving the international relations of the United States and over shadowing everything else before the national legislature today. It was re ported here today that prompt adoption of the agreement would be asked by the presidential message accompanying the agreement to congress, as he hastened the negotiations for that purpose.

It may be that some of the schedules will arouse a storm of protest and call down upon President Taft's head the anger of some members of both the Republican and Democratic parties. In each case the agreement will be accompanied by detailed statements of the precise effect of the changes recom mended in the existing tariff law. with comparisons of the existing and pro jected rates. Absolute silence is maintained by the officials here as to the nature of these changes, but there is reason to believe that they are sure of approval in at least one quarter—that is, by the Amer ican publishers and consumers of print paper.
