RECIPROCITY WITH
CANADA IS UNLIKELY
Washington.—There will be no rec
iprocity with Canada, at least at this
session of congress, and probably never

ment sent to congress yesterday by

Powerful Interests are arrayed against
Its ratification. The conflict Involves
features as important as those which
characterized the long-drawn-out dis
pute over the Payne tariff bill.
Agricultural Interests In the West and
the fish Interests In the East, with a
host of manufacturing Interests, will
fight the ratification of the treaty bit
terly.
Because fish has been placed on tho
free list, such powerful senators as Crane
and Lodge, of Massachusetts, will op
pose tho treaty. So far the president
has received no direct assuranqes of sup
port from one of the Republican party
leaders.
In the meantime the present duties on
pulp and paper imported from the Unit
ed States into Canada will remain.
Whenever pulp and paper enter the
United States from all parts of Canada
free of duty, then similar articles will
bo admitted Into Canada from the
United States free of duty. This is
mote as It ever was.
