HOUSE AND SENATE IN DEATH
oRAPPLE OVER FREE
TOLL.
CLAIM TREATY BREACH
BRITAIN IS AWAITING PASSAGE
OF LEGISLATION WHICH
VIOLATES AGREEMENT.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-A determined fight 10
to be made in the conference on the
Panama canal bill. against the grant
ing OF free passage in the canal to
American foreign-bound ships. The
conference committee held Its first
meeting Monday and continued discus
sion OF the measure at q night ses-
sion.
Senator Brandegee. who opposed
free toll provisions in the Senate. IL
understood to stand with Represents
tives Adamson and Stevens OF the
House conferees, in opposing what
they consider violation 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 prov'-
sion for American coastwise shipping
will be retained.
Little progress was made in the flrst
session OF the conferees toward An
agreement on the Bourne amendment.
to divorce railroads from control OF
competing steamship lines and the
Reed amendment prohibiting trust-con-
trolled ships from using the Panama
canal. Both houses have indorsed the
plan TO prohibit railroad-owned ships
from using the canal: but the Bourne
and Reed amendments are new matter
so far as the House IS concerned.
The British government. according
to advices from the State Department.
has made no further representation
regarding the proposition to allow
American vessels to use the canal free
Of tolls, since the note OF Charge
Innes. July last. II is now awaiting.
1t is said, the enactment OF the legts-
lation and the adoption OF regulations
to put it into effect in order to have
sufficient basis for more formal pro-
test against what it regards as clear
preach OF the existing treaty.
In recognition Of the superior right
OF Great Britain to address the United
States government on this subject by
virtue OF the existence OF the Hay
Pauncefote treaty. other European ma
tions and even Japan have refrained
from approaching the State Depart
4nent. notwithstanding that their In
terest Is equal to that OF Great Britain.
Uncle Sans positive refusal OF the
British request to treat British ship
ling on an equality with American. it
is probable, in the opinion of govern
meut authorities, that the foreign Of
.ice will come forward with PROPOSE
ton to submit the issue to arbitration.
calling attention to the existing Brit
ish-Amer;can arbitration treaty as q
tasis for the proposition.
This move would bring the matter
to a real crisis. Should arbitration be
adverse to the American position. II
would he necessary. it is said. for the
