The Senate Amendment
Specifically Reserving All
Rights the United States
Has Under the Hay
Pauncefote Treaty, is
Adopted With the Bill
President Will Sign Meas
TIRE Monday.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

! Washington, June 12-President
Wilson expects to sign the Pauama
canal tolls exemption repeal bill Non
day. The bill passed the house today
after a brief debate and without the
Tormality OF a conference by vote
216 to =. The senate amendment
specifically reserving all rights the
United States has under the Hay
PdunCefOte treaty was adopted with
the bill PefOTe COnCUrTiuS on the sen
ate amendment the house voted down
1l3 to 10S, the proposal of Representa-
tive Moss, of West Virginia, TO attach
TO the repeal q fat declaration Of the
| United States rights to exempt IFS
vessels from tolls and declaration of
the United States sovereignty over the
canal zone.
Twenty Democratic representatives.
voted against to concur i'm the senate
amendment while thirty-seNou Rcpuh-
licans and three ProgressIEcs Joined
the inaJority. IN supportlnE The motion,
RETURNS TO THE HOUSE.
Fresh from the long and spnctaCU-
lar fight in the senate, the Panama
tolls exemption repeal bill returned
TO the house today for action on the
Norris Simmons compromise amend
ment before going TO President Wilson
for signature. Chairman AdamsOn, Of
the commerce committee, in charge Of
the bill. at oECe moved that the house
concur with the amendments instead
of sending it to conference.
The senate amendment" he said,
/ should be acceptable to all advocates
Of uniform tolls. II is exceedingly
appropriate that the statement con-
tained in the amendment should be
made and rrcmulgated in connection
with the repeal bill itself--it is moth
ing but the truth and substantially the
same declaration has been made by MS
on the floor OF the house and elsewhere
many tines
Represantativ Adanson's motion
was not objected to and debate was
limited by agreement to one and one
half hours. Representative Nurdork
declared lie believed the president
would veto the bill as amended.
Majority Leader Underwood, while
he declared he would not oppose the
amendment. said that it was negative
and Ineffective"
'The original position Of the house"
he said. was more honest more man
" more CouraEeOs. The senate by
this amendment comedies everything
thta was conceded by the house bill,
and then to satisfy their conscience or
thei rfears, throw out this negative
declaration as sop 10 those who
oppose the measure" He added that
the reservation would have no effect
in future negotiations.
Our act in surrendeTing our rights
will be the point that is weighed in
the future and not an accompanying
declaration of what we meant when
we performed the act" he said, and
added that congress should never have
legislated directly on the question but
should have submitted the entire con-
troversy to arbitration.

governor was slain and q large num-
Der of ConViCts killed or wounded as
a result of a revolt yesterday in the
Spanish prison Of Figueras, just over
the frontier in Catalonis
The Convicts took advantage of the
absence Of most of the prison guards
whose attention had been attracted by
a procession outside the jail in cele-
bration Of the religious festival Of Cor
pus Christi.
The prisoners seized the governor
and beat him to death. They then
broke into the store of arms and am

Detachments of troops and wardens
fired upon the fleeing convicts who
replied with volleys from the rifles
they had seized. Fierce fighting en-
sued within the prison enclosure and
the buildings before the ConTicts were
mastered and in the course Of the af-
fray many were shot down.

THE CALL OF THE CAUCUS.

Republican voters should bear in mint
that their caucuses will be held Thurs
day evening Of this week to elect dele
gates to the county, district and stat,
conventions of the party, and Their
should be a good attendance at eacl
and every caucus. Barre Republicans
should remember their caucus in par
ticular because one of their fellow citi
zens is candidate for the nomination
for representative in Congress from the
second district and he should go before
the convention at White River Junction
with the hearty support of this city as
web as the unanimous support of his
county. The Barre caucus is to be hello
at the city hall.
That there is a personal duty back Of
attendance at the caucus OF each and
every party is well stated by the Yer
gennes Enterprise in the following
"Vermonters who want a more eflicien!
and economical administration of state
affairs need not be discouraged because
there is no direct primary this year.
The caucus system is not altogether to
blame for conditions that exist to-day,
nor is the direct primary remedy for
all our political evils If the voters will
live up to their obligations of citizen
ship and attend the esucuses on Thurs
day, Aug, 27, they can have pretty much
the kind of government they want for
the next two years"
And the sentiment is supplemented by
the ST. Adams Messenger in these words,
"The voters do want an efficient and
economical administration the coming
two years. They need it and they can
have it if they will take the pains TO
get it. They will find that the caucus
isn't such an inst rument Of evil after
all, If they will give it half a chance.
The voter should make il just as much
his business to attend the caucus a. to
20 to the polls on election day. True,
il Is a preliminary step, but it is OF equal
Importance with the election itself, for
the caucus shapes the election. Go to
the caucus, then, every Vermonter Re.

course, the income from $4,000 will no,
go great ways towards maintaining
the society, but the feeling that sc
much money is in hand anyway might
have demoralizing effect on the spirit
of general cooperation among the mem

croachment of such spirit that the
members of the Second Congregational

forts. The gift should serve as stimu.

The official reports of the activities oil

is left in doubt as to the real meaning

places serious obligation on that So
ciety, aside from the debt of gratitude

to a relaxation of effort because of the
feeling of greater financial security

When Emperor Francis Joseph OF Aus
tria dies ian eventuality expected hour.
1y) let no one assert that the war killed
him, for Francis Joseph has been dying
for years. Indeed, it has been thought
on numerous occasions that his final
sickness had come, only to have the
royal parsonage shake off the hand of
death and rally to the rule of his king
dom once more. Every daily newspaper
office has been put on the qui vive by
several announcements of his impending
end and compositors in many offices
rushed the obituaries into type-and the
grim old fighter arose from his sickbed
and started all over again. Therefore,
shaken by the ravages of war as his
kingdom is at the present time, it can
not be said that Emperor Francis Jo-
seph's death was caused by the war, if
the warning of his critical sickness at
this time should prove better founded
than previous warnings.

Up to the present time, the govern
ment Of Italy is showing the best bal
ance of any of the European nations
engaged or likely to be engaged in the
war. Possibly the fact that Italy is
grasping both horns of dilemma is in
part responsible for Itaiy's failure to act
for war On the one hand is the triple
alliance with Germany and Austria and
on the other is tendency to sympathy
with the side represented by Great Brit
ain, Russia and France. Perhaps the
dilemma may keep Italy free from ac-
tual participation in the war.
