A DETERMINED FIGHT
To Be Made on Free Tolls for Amer

can Foreign bound Vessels.
Washington, Aug IA determined
fight is to be made in the conference
on the Panama canaf bill against the
granting of free passage in the canal
to American foreign-boun ships. The
conference committee had it's first
meeting, today. and continued discus
sion Of the measures at a night ses-
sion.
Senator Brandegee. who opposed free
toll provisions in the Senate. is under
stood to stand with Reps. Adamson
and Stevens of the House conferees in
opposing what they consider a viola
ton of treaty rights, and too great a
concession to foreign bound shipping
1t is believed. from the preliminary
conferences on the measure, that the
free toll provision for American coast
wise shipping viii be retained.
! Little progress was made in the first
| sessions of the cqnferees toward an
| agreement on the Bourne amendment,
to divorce railroads rom control of
competing steamship lines. and the
Reed amendment prohibiting trust
controlled ships from using the Pana-
ma canal Both Houses have endorsed
the plan to prohibit railroad-owned
ships from using the canal: but the
Bourne and Reed amendments are new
matter 50 far as the House is con-
cerned.
The British government, according
to advices in the state department. to-
day, has made no further representa-
tions to the United States regarding
the proposition to allow American
Vessels to use the canal free of tolls,
since the note OF Charge Times. July
last. 1t is now awaiting. it is said.
the enactment of the legislation into
law and the adoption of regulations to
put it into effect in order to have
sufficient basis for more formal pro-
test against what 1t regards as a Clear
breach of an existing treaty.
In recognition of the superior right
of Great Britain to address the United
States government on this subject by

verse to the American position, il
would be necessary for the state de-
partment to find reasonable ground for
a declination of the British overtures,
without laying itself open to the
charge that it had deliberately violated
the provisions of the treaty - the
charge lodged against it in connection
with the Hay Pauncefote treaty
