New Hampshire, which attacks the Presi-
dents policy, went over until Monday
The Gallinger substitute resolution
which was offered yesterday afternoon, is
as follows:
THAT in pursuance of the true Amer
lean doctrine that American interests are
safer in the hands of Americans than in
the hands of European or other foreign
nations, it is the sense Of the Senate Of
the United States that under the terms Of
the -Pauncefote treaty the United
States can grant free passage through the
Panama canal to American coastwise' YES
sells, and that any attempted denial of
that right by European or other foreign
powers is an unWarranted demand on
their part, which cannot be conceded
without a denial of right thSt lies at the
foundation of our government and which
American interests and American honor
demand shall be maintained at all haz-
ards.
Resolved further That there is
neither necessity nor justice in repeal
ing the free tolls provision of the Pan
anna canal act. the purpose of the eX-
empted American shipping in it's unequal
contest with the subsidized shipping of
other countries, which probably will in
clude the payment of tolls by those gov
ernments on their vessels passing
through the canal

cuckoo However, 1 never heard it hint
ed or suggested by any one that this
bird, or any bird or beast for that mat
ter. could successfully perpetrate this
somewhat shady trick upon the habitat
of the bird which in former administra-
tons was our national emblem. the
American eagle. Perhaps it is possible ow
that Secretary Bryan uove OF peace h.
become our national symbol. Something
akin to the possibility Of this imposition
must have been in the Presidents mind
when he duplicated us to let the British
lon cuckoo the Panama canal.
Mr.. Speaker. for my part / am unwill-
ing to tolerate. other than specifically
provided for in the treaty, another inch
of foreign encroa chment on the canal
even though the cuckoo call urges it in
dulcet tones or carols from the White
House aviary.
Referring to the relation which the
Mexican situation has to the English at
titude toward the tolls question. Repre-
sentative Sinnott said
MI. Speaker, the abdication OF our
sovereignty at the canal and the cession
OF the canal territory to all the powers
OF the world in common is too great
price to pay for taking on an English
pilot to help navigate our ship of state in
Mexican waters.

Of these pioneers who brooked England s

BRYAN FAVORS REPEAL.
Also Endorses House Cloture Rule
on Canal Tolls Bill.

In addition to his approval of the bill
to repeal exemption from tolls of Ameri-
can ships passing through the Panama
canal, Secretary Bryan of the State De-
pa rtment. also favors the special rule by
which debate on the repeal bill has been
limited.
Secretary Bryan announced his atti-
tude after the House of Representatives
Yesterday. had adopted the special rule.
He recalled that he had already set forth
his attitude toward the Presidents policy
regarding Panama tolls in his organ,
the Commoner.
He did not explain his change of front
from his position in favor of exemption
as plainly announced by the Baltimore
convention platform.

How House Members Voted
on Rule Limiting Debate
on Tolls Repeal Bill

After the administration forces had won
the fight for the gag rule on the Pana-
ma canal tolls repeal bill yesterday. che
House settled down to listen to twenty
hours OF speeches for and against the
exemption of American coastwise ships
from charges in passing through the
waterway at the isthmus. With every
prospect that the majority for the repeal
will be larger than the thirtyone ma jor-
ity for the rule which permits of TO
amendments to the bill, administration
forces are plumng themselves over the
biggest victory in an important political
and legislative crisis in years. The spec
tacular elements of the fight disappeared
quickly after Speaker Clark announced
the vote on the rule yesterday, in a
voice which had no tone betraying the
fact that he had allied himself with the
losing end.
Members Of the House left for their
offices and the restaurant for the most
part, as soon as the roll call had been
ANNOUNCED, and the long debate started
with only a few present.
An analysis of the vote shows 200 demo-
Gratis voting for the rule, and fifty-five
voting against it. Two democrats, Repre-
sentatives Goldfogle of New York and
Kitchin of North Carolina, voted pres
ent." There were thirty-three democrats
who did not vote. Eight republicans voted
for the rule, 1903 against it and one.
Hanger of Iowa, voted present The
progressives. nineteen in number, voted
against the rule, and one. Coppley of
Illinois. failed to vote. Representative
Kent of California, an independent, was
absent because of death in his family.
Republicans for Rule.
The republicans. who aided the Presi-
dent yesterday. are Bartholdt of Missouri,
Browne of Wisconsin, Gardner and Gillett

Sims Opens the Debate.

AS soon as the vote had been TAKEN
Representative Sims of Tennessee, author
of the repeal bill started the debate, up
holding the President, and replying to
charges against the administration. He
said, in part:
rs it reasonable to suppose that the
great masses of the people are going to
believe that the President of the United
States, who has direct charge of the en-
forcement of all our treaties with foreign
countries. is going to surrender the rights
of the American people, whose trusted
representative he is, by accepting an
erroneous construction of a treaty upon
the unWarranted demand of any one or
all the foreign nations of the world?
Would not any President this country
has ever had ever will have hesitate
long before being guilty of such cowardly
and reasonable conduct toward the citi-
Zens of his own country? And vet such
is the charge that is being made every
day against President Wilson. and it is
humiliating and notifying to know that
members of his own party are guilty Of
making this charge. For one, l do not
believe it, and if 1 did l should feel that
I was a moral coward if 1 did not i'm
mediately ask for his impeachment by the
House of Representatives. If our Presi-
dent is as bad man as these charges
would make him, no self-respecting mem

for certainly Mr.. Speaker no man worthy
of a seat in this House could have any
respect for President Wilson while enter
tanning such an opinion of him.
During his speech Representative
Humphrey of Washington asked him
about the statements of the President,

Aid to Merchant Marine.


1t was through discriminating tariff
duties that our merchant marine was de-
veloped in the first three decades of our
governments existence. The democratic
tariff law that is now on the statute
books carries in it discrimination
amounting to a reduction of per cent of
the duties on goods imported in Ameri-
can ships.
IF we have built the canal for the
bencfit of an American merchant marine
and not for the practical exclusive use
of foreign shipping. We must adopt a
policy of discrimination in favor of Amer
lean ships. or we must in the end pay
indirect subsidies to enable our ships to
compete with ships of foreign nations.
The subsidies and Determinations that
European governments have given to
their shipping interests have practically
driven American ships from the seas.
For the reasons given / believe that
the democratic party was both wise and
patriotic when it announced a policy
of discriminating in favor of our coast
wise ships going through the Pana-
ma canal and that there is no reason at
this time why we should abandon a SOL
emn promise made to the American people
in one Of the most prominent planks in
our party platform.
But We are told that We are viola ting
solemn treaty made with another ma
ton and in good faith that we should
abandon the canal to foreign rivals with
out contest or dispute, in order that we
may keep our standing in the family of
nations.
Regarded as Un-American Spirit.
Not for one moment do | believe that
We have violated A treaty right and not
for one moment do believe that the Eng
fish government seriously contends that
we have violated treaty right Our
whole difficulty in the matter arises from
the un-American Spirit of surrender that
some of our own people have exhibited
toward this important question from the
very beginning.
"If the Congress had unanimously pass
ed the canal tolls bill two years ago I
do not believe that the question would
ever have been raised that we do not
have the right to exempt American ships
from the payment of tolls when we
charge foreign ships q fair and equitable
rate for their passage through the canal
Great Britain charges S1.3O for the pas
sage through a canal that cost only one
third of what it cost us. to build the
Panama canal and our toll charge is only
81 10 per net ton.
ut seems to me clear that it does not
lie within the mouth of Great Britain or
any foreign nation to complain that we
have not given them fair and equitable
treatment in the tolls that We have
charged for the passage of their ships
through the canal.
There is more serious question in
volved in the passage of this bill The
right to discriminate in favor of our
ships. the opportunity to encourage our
shipping and to increase our commerce
are matters of vital Importance, but
they pale into insigniticance when COM
