WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—On th.i
conclusion of the routine business of
the senate today Mr McCumber spokf
on Canadian reciprocity, opposing the
McC'all bill to carry into effect the
agreement presented to congress by
the president.
When Mr. Me<'umber concluded the
Lorimer case the unfinished business
of the body was brought up. The
vice president had gone the length of
putting the Lorimer resolution before
the senate for a vote, no senator be-
ing prepared to speak, but Chairman
Burrows of the committee on privi-
leges and elections, yielded to the pro-
testation of the opponents of Mr.
Lorimer, who yet desires to be heard
and the case went over.
In the House.
Eulogies upon two late members of
the house of representatives were pro-
nounced. Adjournment followed.
In the house the day was devoted to
consideration of the District of Co-
lumbia and the sundry civil bills.
The session extended into the night
on the later discussion of the proposi-
tion to fortify the Panama canal con-
suming much time.

McCIJM UER'S SPEECH.
WASHIX TON. Feb. 25.—Responsi-
bility for the conditions with which
tlicy are now confronted will be
charged in part to the farmers them-
selves by Senator McCumber'of North
Dakota, today in a speech in the sen-
ate against the McCall bill, which
into form for enactment into law
tie provisions of the Canadian reci-
1 ->ctty agreement.
Ho'dlrg that the ratification of the
S'.rr^ement would spell disaster for the
agricultural interests the senator said
their having loaned their ears to the
arguments urged for lower rates of
dutv it the time of the passage of the
3 ;\vne-A!drich bill and their having
r en their votes in the ensuing elec-
tion to the opponents of those mem
berg of congress who had voted with
t' ■ leaders in the two houses, had
L« 1 n the undoing of the farmers.
He declared that when a cruaade
a ainst the whole tariff system was
launched in the press that "natural
conservatism lost her balance and
everything in the tariff bill was con-
tJ mned."
"That we needed mone\he con
ti '"lej, "to run the government was
lost sight of and a wave of free trade-
i >i that would have destroyed every
vestige of protection and left the gov-
« iment without revenue, swept over
t e country."
Mr. McCumber referred to the •
Lona'lsm that developed in the tariff
situation asd the desire of one part
* i ti e country to have Its own pr
i • ts protected while those of another
pert should be made to compete with
il free goods brought in from abroad
"Under these conditions." he said
"men of the middle west were de-
stroyed because they allow protection
on fabrics and thereby increased cost
of living. The men of the east
f'vo.ved because they allowed protec-
tion en food products and thereby in-
creased the onst of living.
"Out of this turmoil a new political
ereed will be born and the hero
each 1 reality will be hs who cried
"protection of everything that we pro
dure and free trade on everything the
rest of the country produces.'

Italy, which has some famous aero-

Balloons from Germany have always
played a leading role in the races
heretofore. The second race, which
took place in America, as the result of
the victory of Lieutenant Lahm in the
first race, was won by the late Herr
Oscar Erbsloeh. That took the third
