FIGHT IS BREWING
IN BOTH HOUSES
Opposition Develops to Repeal
Of Free Canal Tolls.

Washington, Feb. 7.-President Will
sons expressed desire for repeal OF
the provision of the~Panama canal act
which exempts American coastwise
ships from tolls, it is apparent, will
precipitate spirited debate in both
houses Of congress when the bill to
carry out the suggestion is submitted.
Senators and representatives dis
cussed the situation, but no move was
made in the matter. Action probably
will come first from the house inter-
state and foreign commerce commit
tee in the form of a bill to repeal the
toll exemption provision. Representa-
tive Adamson, chairman of the COM
mittee, probably will introduce the bill
next week. He is awaiting word from
the president in the matter.
Although the repeal Is proposed in
the face of plank In the Baltimore
platform of the Democratic party, the
discussion of that phase of the pro-
posed reversal OF policy Is not ex.
pected to be as extended as the in
fluence Of the contemplated action up.
on foreign relations.
Senate Democratic leaders plan to
await action in the house before TAX
ing up the presidents suggestion, but
the forthcoming debate on the general
arbitration treaty with Great Britain,
which soon is to come up in executive
| session. undoubtedly will provoke dis.
cussion on the subject.

Radical immigration Bill Gets

WILSON IS OPPOSED TO It

Washington, Feb. 6.-With a provi-
sion barring illiterates, said to be the
most drastic legislation Of its kind for
many years, the Burnett immigration
bill is before the senate. where the
final question on the literacy test will
be threshed out. The bill passed the
house Wednesday.
Many expect the senate to pass the
bill as 1t stands, but President Will
sons attitude is the subject of much
speculation. Some of those who claimed
to be informed say the president Is
opposed to the nteracy test.
Before Mr.. Wilson signs the bill,
however, he will give public hearings
upon it, as former Presidents Taft
and Cleveland did on similar bills.
Secretary Bryan urged the house
immigration committee to take no &C.
ton on the Raker bill for exclusion
of Asiatic immigrants.
Diplomatic negotiations between the
United States and Japan over the
California anti-alien land laws and the
whole question of the Asiatic exclu-
sion was discussed at length behind

while attempting to defend the Santa

The fear of the public was that
some loyal regiments might try to re-

shed and destruction.
So far there has been no fighting
and the streets of Lima, though
crowded with excited people, are COM

Bandits Deliberately Wreck
Passenger Train.
EARTH AND ROCK FALLING
Rescuinq Party Finds ito Work Much
impeded by Wreckaoe and Cave.
inc From Roof Of Tunnel.

CumOr0, Ou1uuduuA, Mex, gu. -
Nothing but charred bones and but,
tons were found by the rescuing party
which, with the aid Of oxygen helmets
and pulmotors. succeeded in penetrat-
ing the Cumbre tunnel from the south
portal as far as the locomotive and
first two cars of the passenger train.
These are supposed to be the re-
mains Of the engineer and fireman of
the i'll fated passenger train.
They probably were killed when
their engine crashed into the burning
freight train, which had been pushed
into the tunnel by Castillo's bandits
several hours before.
It is now believed that every one of
the crew, which were aboard the train
when it dashed into the tunnel last
Wednesday night, are dead.
Whether the train was hurried into
the tunnel to escape being captured
by Castillo's bandits or sent headlong
to it's destruction by the bandits never
may be known.
The rescuing party which went in
at the south end found it's way great
ly impeded by not only the iron frame
work of the burned cars, but by great
masses of earth and rock which had
fallen from the roof of the tunnel.
Earth and rock still are falling,
making exploration extremely danger.
GUS, and there is a constant fear that
other lives may be added to those al
ready lost by caveins after the res
cuers have penetrated the tunnel for
some distance.
| Caveins Bury Wreckage.
The wreckage is now covered by
from five to ten feet of earth and the
only hope of finding any bodies is that
they may have been covered with
earth before having been reached by
the flames.
The only recognizable body thus fa1
recovered is that of Juan Fernandez
the rear brakeman Of the passenger
train, who had escaped to within zoe
feet of the north portal, when he final
~ succumbed, dying in sitting pos
ture with a handkerchief tied about
his nose and mouth in a vain endeavol
to save himself from being smothere(
by the smoke and gas.
It is believed that all the others or
board the train, who were not manned
or killed when the passenger trair
ran into the wreckage of the freight
attempted to escape as did Fernandez
but were overcome one by one, ant
their bodies probably will be fount
strewn along the 200 feet or more o
the tunnel when the entrance finall!
is forced and the debris cleared away
The scenes around the entrance t.
the tunnel are heartrending. Scorer
!, of Mexican women and children, rela
tives of men who lost their lives II
the tunnel, are crowned around boil
portals, assisting in the bringing on
of bodies of the dead, and have gon'

ers.
Among the Americans who lost thei
lives in Cumbre tunnel were Mrs. Lee
Carruth and five children, family o
an engineer employed at MADEIRA.
