REPEAL BILL WILL PASS.
One of the Greatest Victories For Will son-President Dislikes the Amend
 ment, but He Will Accept 1t.

Even those who have been opposing the administration admitted that the Panama canal tolls repeal bill would pass. It is one of the greatest of Pres ident Wilson's victories in carrying out the policies which he announced after becoming chief executive of the nation. While it is admitted that MT. Wilson thinks the amendment made by the senate is a hedge and an ungenerous compliance with the international sit uation, it is not believed that he will instruct any of the Democratic lead CTS who are supporting the admins tration to oppose its adoption.
 The president, it is said, does not be lieve that any government on the face of the earth would attempt tn the fu- ture to hint that the United States does not have every sovereignty right over the canal Therefore why the necessity to reserve" this right in a bill merely repeating a tolls clause?

WILSON'S TRUST BILL
 IS PASSED BY HOUSE
Entire Program Goes Through
 by 275 to 54 Vote.

President Wilson's entire program of antitrust legislation embodied in three bills was passed by the house.
 The program passed includes all of leges on labor unions. It also embed les the provisions which railroad presi- dents, including Judge Loyett of the Union Pacific. have said would disrupt every big system in the United States.
 Debate on the trust program came to a close in the house sooner than was expected There were evidences that the house had tired of the subject and would be ready to pass the three bills before adjournment. This prospect was realized. .....
 There was only perfunctory opposi- tion to the bills. The bill proposing the creation of an interstate trade commits sion was passed by d viva voce vote. The Clayton bill. containing the major portion of the antitrust program, was passed by vote of 275 to 54. The third bill in the series. giving the inter state commerce commission supervision over the issuance of railway securities. was passed by vote of 325 to 12.
 Only few Democrats strayed from the party reservation. One member of President Wilson's party voted against the Clayton bill and four against the railway capitalization bill.
 Forty-one Republicans voted for the Clayton bill. The main body of the Republicans voted against it primarily because of their opposition to the labor provision.
 Following the conclusion of the con- sideration of the administrators trust bills it was declared that there would be no final action taken on these meas ures until Oct. at the earliest. The senate judiciary committee and the in terstate commerce commission have concluded their hearings.

 BLOCKADE ORDER

Last Minute Action by Dictator Gives
 New Hope of Success of Mediation.
 carranza Representative Likely to
 Be Admitted to Conference Under
 Favorable Terms.
 Despite the fact that Huerta, through the Spanish ambassador in Washing ton. officially notified the United States that he would not blockade Tampico. believe that the Mexican dictator has again got the better of them.
 Navy department officials said that the entire scheme of sending the gun boats to Tampico was a trick on the part of Huerta to trap the United States into sending the United States ships Tacoma and Sacramento with them. -.-.- ---- --.--.---<s:- t~.-.-.r.----.'~
 Then at the last moment the block ade order officially announced was rescinded without giving reasons for 70 doing. The administration was jubilant over the receipt of this news until 1t was pointed out that the con- hnuance of the mediation proceedings at Niagara Falls was by no means as- Sured. f .4., ...
 Had 1t been necessary for the Unit cd States to use force or the presence of preponderant force to insure the landing of the arms from the steamer Antdlla 1t would have been a violation of the armistice between the Huerta AAd the United States governments and would have completely disrupted the negotiations at Niagara Falls.
 It was pointed out to administration 0ficials, though. that the continued presence with the federal gunboats of the United States ships on their cruise from Puerto Mexico to Tampico could be construed as an unfriendly act, in view of the announcement of the United States that Tampico would be maintained by them as an open port.
 Long code messages exchanged be tween the Mexican delegates at the peace conference at Niagara Falls, Ont, and General Huerta confirmed the report that the dictator had called of his blockade.
 General Huerta, his minister of war, General Blanquet, and the remnants of his cabinet are considering the ad- visibility of coming to. Vera Cruz to complete mediation negotiations.
 He has been informed that the rebels under Dr. Commacho are. well aware of his desire to leave the ruin of his government and that they have made preparations to wreck trains on either railroad out of the capital.
 Huerta fears treachery on the part of some of the few whom he would have to trust if he decided to leave with his family, as they might give the rebels their chance to assassinate him.
 Carranza's reply to the invitation to participate in mediation was expected by the A. B. c. envoys momentarily.
 Constitutionalist representatives in Washington admit that 1t accepts mediation on his own terms" and they are inclined to doubt whether the reply would be satisfactory to the mediators.

STRONG FIGHT
ON Dem RIVERS
AND HAkBOR BILL

Washington, Sept. Elm the
Harbor Appropriation bill which has
run the gauntlet of Senatorial oppo-
sition in some quarters for nearly
three months, Senator Joseph F..
Ransdell, of Louisiana, paid glow
ing tribute to the work of the En-
gineer Corps of the army in connec-
ton with waterway improvements.
This army of the military service is
rarely in the public prints except
where some great achievement is ac-
complished. like the building Of the
Panama Canal, the exploration of un-
known regions. or the mapping of
vast tracts OF land for the uses OF
| mankind
Throughout the long and weari-
some debate on the River and Har-
Dor bill, debate that has almost
tried the patience of the most con-
servative senator, much has been
said about the engineer corps, not
necessarily in terms of criticism, but
in covert insinuations that have
ranked and left exceeding sore spots.
1t was these faint praises" for the
honor graduates of the greatest mill
tary school in the world that led
Senator Ransdell, in his speech in
defense of the River and Harbor ap-
preparation bill. to pay his compli-
ments to one of the most useful and
most necessary establishments.
Some of the best names in our
history belong to the engineer corps,
said the Junior senator from Louis
lana. Meade and Lee, who fought
at Gettysburg against each other,
were members of the Engineer Corps.
| They were the leaders of forty men,
bers of that corps who attained COM
manding rank in the, war between
the states. Some of the greatest
generals on both sides were engineer
officers. Joe Johnson. Mcpherson,
Beauregard and Wright, and many
others whose names are emblaZone ed
on the pages of our nations history.
Coming down to the present time
Senator Ransdell called the roll OF
engineer officers who had made al
imperishable name for themselves in
connection with the building of the
Panama canal. Colonel George w
| Goethals, like "Abou ben Adhem,'
leading all the rest in the great
galaxy. With the name of Colone
Goethals Senator Ransdell coupled
those of Colonel Sibert, the late Col
onel Gaillard and Colonel Hodges
who, he said, acquired the training
and experience which enabled then
to construct the greatest engineering
feat of all the ages from their intim
ate and personal association with riv
er and harbor work.
