ZiUSXIQO CIW, May 23.—NotWttfc-
etandlng the official signing of the
peace pact, the Mexican capital ls
more nearly isolated tonight than It
baa/been since hostilities begun. Ignorant, apparently, that their commander-in-chief has bi ought the war
to a close, one small band of rebels,
-under the leadership of Candldo Navarro, last night cut the National railroad south ot San Luis Potosi and another bajad stopped traffic over the
Mexican raUroad by- burning a bridge
sear liuamantla.
The only line operated out of Mexico .City tonight is the In tei oceanic, a
narrow gauge railroad extending to
Vera Cruz. The land wires which con-
.amt the capital with tte cable at
.Vera Cruz have also been cut again.
"This revival of rebel activities was not

ahe insurrectos will refuse to abide by
the terms of the peace treaty. Yesterday the armistice closed and lt ls believed not Impossible that there are
hundreds and possibly thousands of
rebels scattered in the hills of the

tilal of the Standard OU company on
an Indictment charging acceptance of
rebates on oil shipments from Olean,
N. Y., to Burlington, Vt., was resumed
before Judge Hazel in United States
district court thia morning.

in support of his motion to quash tte
indiotment was something of a surprise to the attorneys for the government and at that time com t adjourned
to enable the attorneys to get together
on the subject If possible.
Judge Keneflck's plea waa that the
Standard OU company had been convicted of the crimes charged in the
indictment.and had paid a flne following conviction, and that it is unlawful and unconstitutional to punish a
man or corporation a second time for
tho same offense.
When court convened today United
States District Attorney O'Brien was
1'ierared to attack the special plea,
having flled a replication yesterday afternoon and Judge Kenefick presented
a rejoinder.
• After a session in ohabmers behind
closed doors the defense entered a
denial of all allegations contained ln
a proposed amendment to the government's replication, waived a jury as to
facts in the special plea and rested on
the question of the special plea after
submitting the record of the previous
trial of the case. The government
then offered ln evidence a mass of
shipping bills covered by the indictment.

RECIPROCITY PACT
A   DRAMATIC   SPEECH
AT BANQUET.
FEARS   ILL   FOUNDED
Annexation   Wraith   Laid
by   the   Premier   of
Canada Before
Assemblage.
By Associated Press.
LONDON, May 23.—The dinner of
the Pilgrims' society tonight, In honor
of the colonial pioneers, Was historic
because of .unexpected and noteworthy-
plain speaking by Sir Wilfrid Laurier,
the premier of Canada. Sir Wilfrid,
addressing an audience composed of
many of .the great men or England,
handled the annexation question without gloves.
He began by expressing amazement
that during his three days' stay in
England he had heard so many people
of standing voicing douots concerning
the designs of the United States le-
garding Canada. He scoffed at the
idea of the possibility ol' annexation
being seriously considered on either
side of the border. He expressed in
warm terms his admiration for the
people of the United States, but declared that, much as he loved the
American people, he loved Great Britain better,
Dramatic Utterance.
Canada, in sharing the continent
with the United States, he said, had a
double interest in the treaty of arbitration between the United States and the
United Kingdom and He exclaimed
dramatically.
"I thank God that the relations between the .two peoples never were so
good as they are today.'
The premier aroused enthusiasm
when he said that Canada and tte.
United States proposed to continue to
aow to the world two nations with
the longest bounaary, extending from
ocean to ocean, living in peace and
mutual respect, wit Bout' a -fortress,- ai
soldier or a gun on either side of that
boundary.
Uphelu  Monroe  Doctrine.
Denning the Monroe doctrine, as
meaning that no European nation
should acquire more territory on the
American continent, Sir Edward Grey,
the foreign secretary, said:
"Our policy is in full accord with
that doctrine."
The American consul general, John
L. Griffiths, responded.
Praise for Taft.
He said it was a matter of gratification and pride to the American people
when President Taft struck the highest moral note of his generation and
he recalled with wbat sense of exaltation they received Sir Edward Grey's
reply.
"This is the first time since that historic declaration," he continued, "that
the representatives of all English-
speaking countries have been gathered
together, forming a sort of informal
social Anglo-Saxon parliament and
have had the opportunity of expressing
their complete approval of those memorable' words."
War Is Unnecessary.
Tte speaker ridiculed the suggestion
that without periodical strife men became weak, and dwelt upon the. romance of peace, happy homes and
populous cities.
."If the proper treaty is concluded,"
he said, "we can vision nation after
nation animated by the same high purpose."
A message was sent to the king by
tte diners and the secretary of the society, Harry B. Rittain, read this reply:
Thanks From King.
"The king thanks the pilgrims for
their kind congratulations on his approaching coronation. He earnestly
hopes that the high. ICeals which the
society has in view may be completely
realized.
(Signed.) "KNOLLYS."
Of the speakers the Canadian premier was the most impressive, partly
because his subject had aroused vast
interest here, and be was the theatrical figure, as, standing with outstretched arm, .the ribbon of the British order across hls breast, he assured the
English nobles, bejewelled and covered
with orders, with eagerly upturned
faces before him and his seven colleagues, the heads of the greatest British colonies, that he, a British subject
of French blood, yielded to none in
loyalty to the crown.
Immigration Not Feared.
Sir Wilfrid spoke at length on tte
immigration of Americans to Canada
and the apprehensions te had heard
expressed that they might threaten tte
integrity ofthe Dominion. 'He said
that the majority or them took the
oath of allegiance to George V.
If the United States attempted to
annex Canada, .continued the premier,
tt would not be by force of arms but
by seduction.    In that event Canada
would reply as Diogenes did to Alexander:
" 'Stand out of my sun.'
"There is sun enough for both."
The last words of tbe Canadian
premier were .almost drowned in applause.
"We believe," he said "that the day
will come of an alliance of all lands
springing from England's loins, ensuring the peace of tte world forever."

PAPER PRICES FIXED
BY A GREAT COMBINE
NORRIS POINTS OUT A
CONSPIRACY.
MARKET  IS  STARVED
Mills Left Idle So That the
Oompany Can Fix the
Prims Publishers
Must Pay. ■
By Associated Prett.
WASHINGTON, May 23.—Charges
that tte American newspaper publishers are compelled to pay higher prices
than necessary for their news print
paper because the International Paper
company is in practical control of the
industry ln this country were made
today at the Canadian reciprocity bill
hearings before the senate finance
committee" by John Norris, representing the American Newspaper Publishers' association. The paper makers,
"Mr. Norris declared, have made obvious efforts to restrict production
and to starve the print paper market
In order to maintain prices at an
agreed figure, have sold paper abroad
cheaper than ln this country and have
arrayed themselves against open
prices and against public quotations.
In an effort to prevent such secret
fixing of prices, Mr. Norris said that
he had made offers to buy paper and
to pay cash for It, but that only two
mills out of fifty in this country had
sold to him. Tte reason for this ffe-
fusal, he claimed, was that the par
per makers did not want a public quo*
tation Of their prices as we would have
sold the paper at auction, thus making
the prices public.
Starved the Market.
"The paper makers of this country,1!
said Mr. Norris, "have preferred to
keep ttelr mills idle and their labor
unemployed and to allow. Canada to
aell paper here to tbe . advantage of
Canadian labor and the disadvantage
of their own labor   rather than sell
paper at the mill. (^__^>*__t ■*•
■ ' "A conspiracy or arramg^ifST -3F
some sort exists among newtfpjftat paper mills, tte effect of whtch is <$» ■'.
deprive a purchaser of the--opportunity to buy news print paper at a fair
market price wlthont restrictions as
to Its use or at the price at which tho
mills are selling a similar article In
similar quantities. These mills -so
doing, wbich are'under the injunction
of a court, have disobeyed its orders.
Prioes  Marked Up.'
"The trade disturbances and prico
fluctuations in news print paper. Sue to
unlawful combinations, have been
continuous since the passage of tte
Dingley bill, shortly after which tha
International Paper ' company was
formed from a consolidation of many
mills, Including tbose on the verge of
bankruptcy, and immediate steps
were taken to mark up prices."
Mr. Norris accused the International Paper company of selling paper
abroad cheaper, than here, with having
"launched Into a gigantic wood land
speculation," with having an inflated
capitalization of at least $40,000,000
and with keeping down production by
'maintaining a capacity of "only 36
per oent. of modern equipment."-
"Yet the International Paper company," he added, "is asking congress
to put a premium upon.tbe antiquity
of plants ln mills that were verging
on bankruptcy thirteen years ago.
It rains alike upon the Just and the
unjust; but the just are a little mora
likely to have their gardens planted
before the shower comes.
