WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
Waehington, Jan. S.—President Taft is
hopeful of eompleting a reciprocity

before the end oS tne present scion.

The eonference between the Can:titian

zhe 'State Department yesterday after-
noon. Secretary of State Knox, Minds

Department, and Charles M. Pepper, a
eummereial expert a tha Bureau of

f4tates, and Hon, W. S.. Fielding, hinter

thrualiaws preaented the reply of Canada
L ie the proposals of the lavited States,
the details of which wee laid before the
Canadian Government met, September.
etnother conference will be held to -mor.
row afternoon.
The original proposal made by the.
United, Stes is sold to have been lib-
eral, and officers oi the Sotto Depart-
ment who are in touch with the negotia-
tions expres-:ie opinion that an agree-
ment will be rem:lied shortly. flames
ealti to -day that the present confere.nces
will eontinue for about It week, and if no
eerious obstacles are encountered, a ten-
tative agreement may be rea.elied. in lesi
time.
It is atimittea that the Canadian nego-
tiators hay; the whip hand, and are in a
position to drivo a good bargain from
their point of view. The United States
F s richer, more populous and has more
diversifiee interests than the Dominion,
and, of course, will be expected to grant
more important eoncesesion than ean be
required of C'enada, in order to affect an
agreement. It addition, bolli partiea in
this country are committed to tecipro-
city with Canada, and the Republicans
are eager to come to terms,. The Presi.
dent, for his part, is understood to be
willing to go to any reasonable length
to reach an agreement. tit view of this
attitude it ie not expected that there
will he much Oafficulty iu arrauging
satisfactory reciprocity agreement.
In general terms, the problem before
the negotiators is to effectan exchange
of the natural products of Canada for
manufactured products of the United
States.
On the other hand, the manufaCturers
of thhe country are anxious to increase
their volume of sales in Canada. The
problem, however, is more difficult than
appears on the surface. The Canadian
manufacturers are using their influence
to prevent the entrance of Amerieren
eompetitors in Canada, and the United
States farmers will not gujetly accede
to the entrance of Canadian farm pro -
duets into this eountry. The Canadian
negotiaters will, its far at possible, at-
tempt to reduce duties on United States
manufactured articles which do not ene
ter into competition with Canadian pro -
%n attempt, it is said, will be made
to regal an agreement for a reduction
of the Catuulian duty on steel rails. Coal
will probably also figure in the diseus.
Wen. The Administration favors the free
admission of coel to the United States
from Canada, atta an unenceettsful at-
tempt was Made to admit Canadian coal
free of duty when the Payne-Mdrich

and the Puget Sound region are hi favor
of admitting Canadian eoal to the Un-

ln the evening at '8.30 another large
audioee assembled, composed for the
mot part of men belonging to the

Dr. Chapman whamd to outline mane
of the plans for the coming days. }its
addreise was an earnest presentation
of the responsibility of Christians . for
giving in aonee way a special invitation
personally tea -those with whom they
may be associated to enter the Christian
life.
Taking his text from Paalm 142: 4,
"No man cared for my soul," Dr.
Chapman's message had to do, he
said, "with the man on the street in
the pew this morning in church, the
rna.n working by your side in the
shop, that man that sat beside you in
Lit epew tilts. morning in claureh, the
man you have met itt business deal-
ings for the past twenty yore, who is
not a Christian, and is not inviteerto
be it Christian, who is saying In his
heart, if not with his lips, No man
cares for my soul.' , Do you say that
indictment M not fair? Why Is it not
fair? You say, the Churches are open.
But the average man out of the
church boa not consider the minis-
ter' sermon an invitation. It is rend
by onto that our preaching, is pro-
fessional, that in our appeals we are
perfunctory; it is not true, but they
say it. Thousands of men are think-
ing that no .man ettres for their sp(rlt.-
ual
welfare, because no man has.
taken the trouble to speak to them.
Maybe their hearts are heavy; many
times they are over -conscious of their
sin. 'The ministers ain't reach then;
we evangelists can't reach them; but
yort can reach them! Does a sense of
unworthiness "keep you from speaking
Io them? You can say this to them:
"My life may not always be right, but
My Saviour is always right."

Jackson, Mich, Jan. th—A plot to blow
up the Michigan State Prison and liber-
ate over 600 conviets was uneatthed by
Warden Nathan Simpson of *not, • in-.
stitution, early on Saturday morning.
Eighteen ounces of nitro-glyeerine, two
boxes of dynamite caps, some drills and
five sticks of high pressure dynamite
were diecovexed, by the officers.
The plot is suppoeed to have been con.
coeted by the vonvices evith the essists
mice of "free labor" otttside.
Orders have been issued forbidding the
mitnisision of all visitors until 13. further
Beitech for explosives is completed. Those
already found were sufficient to have
destroyedthe whole structure.
The authorities received secret infor-
mation concerning the plans of the con-
victs, the some of which has not been
revealed. Acting upon this intelligenee
Warden Simpson* Attorney -General
Harry Chase and several other state of-
ficials this morning searched the yard,
