 LEGISLATIVE
 STRUGGLE 0N
Proposed Repeal of Canal Tolls Debate Promises Liveliest Times Seen In National Congress for Many Years
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHP

WASHINGTON. March 24-Con gress is on the verge of the m st vigorous legislative struggle that has enlivened it's proceedings in many years-the contest over the admin istration's proposal to repeal tho provision of the Panama canal act granting toll exemption to American coastwise vessels. The plan for talk ing up the Sims bill was completed in the house, and democratic leaders aligned on both sides of the issue have marshalled their forces and prepared for arguments.
 It is generally conceded the bill will be called for debate by Thurs day and might be reported tomor- TOW. when Representative Henry, chairman of the rules committee, proposes to submit rule limiting the debate on the measure to fifteen hours The vote on this rule will test the strength of the opposing forces.
 Preliminary to debate, which is certain to be spirited. special atten- ton was given tonight by senators and representatives to the majority report on the Sims repeal bill sub mitted by Representative Adamson, Of Georgia. chairman of the com mittee on interstate and foreign commerce This report points par ticularly to the fact that in report | ing the Panama canal act during tho | last congress. the committee recOm- mended uniform tolls, and that exemption for American coastwise shipping could be accomplished by l amendment. The committee recog nized, the report said, long before any foreign government voiced ar opinion or complaint. that the treaty stipulations required uniform tolls.
 We are not disturbed" he added | ''by the taunt made for the purpose that the repeal will be trucking anC yielding to foreign demands. A sim liar taunt could be hurled agains any man or nation honorable enougl to promote friendly relations bv ac

Both Sides Victorious

LAREDO. March 24-Constitution- alists and federals both claim victory. according to reports from the isolated scene of yesterdays fighting. at Guer- rero. sixty miles south. Heavy losses on both sides are indicated. The fed erals claim General Guardiola re- pulsed the rebels. There was nine hours of fighting The rebels are said to be retreating with many dead, and five wagons of wounded. The Consti- tutionalists claim the capture of Guer- rero. and a substantial victory. It is regarded as probable that both re- treated with no advantage
 About 1,500 were engaged on both sides. General Jesus Carranza, and Antonio Villereal commanded the Con- stitutionalsts, many of whom it is de- clared, deserted and fled to the United States. It IS admitted that Guardiola withdrew to San Ygnacio after the re- ported retreat of the rebels. His losses are given as 60.

It is far better to abolish the canal itself than to permit the na- tional honor even to remain in question"
 Considerable speculation exists as to the strength of the opposition to the repeal in both houses of con sress. Conservative proponents of the proposed reversal policy, while claiming an assured majority in both houses, admit that the opposition IS formidable and that an unusual sit uation is confronting the democratic party in the house, where the presi- dent is arrayed against Majority Leader Underwood Representative
 Fitzgerald. chairman of the appropri- ations commttee: Representative
 Kitchin. of North Carolina, ranking

LONDON, March 24-"The Ulster orange plot has been revealed" John Redmond of the Irish Nationalist par ty, said in statement to the Associat- ed Press.
 Sir Edward Carson and his army have not, and never had the slightest intention of fighting, as fighting for or against the regular troops they could not not hold out a week. The plan was to put up an appearance of fight and then by means of society to influence and seduce the officers of the British army. By this means it was intended to intimidate the government, and de- feat the will of the British people. The action of the commanders of some crack cavalry regiments officered by aristocrats, has disclosed the plan of campaign
 "The issue now raised, is a wider one even than home rule for Ireland. It is whether the democratic govern ment can be brow-beaten and dictated to by the drawing rooms of London. and by that section of the officers of the British army who are aristocrats. and violent Tory partisans. The cause of Irish freedom has in this fight be- come cause of popular freedom, and ordered liberty throughout the world. It is impossible to doubt what the re- suit of such a fight will be. A second reading of the home rule bill will be taken Monday and the bill will be pro- ceeded with until it finds it's place on the statute books

LONDON, March 24.-The fact was established today that the army off cers who refused to fight in Ulster would get written assurances that they would not be forced to, and these as surances were largely obtained through the personal intervention of the King. The Liberals speak of the ''mutiny of armed aristocrats" against the demo- cratic government.
 The House of Commons witnessed telling demonstration this afternoon of how the land lies It showed where are not only the home rules and labor ites who made Premier Asquith's ma iority and hold the balance of power in the House, stand. but that many Liberals are opposed to what, from their present information they con- slider the surrender of the army off cerS.
 The reduction of the army appropri- ation bill was moved on the ground that no one is entitled to use the army for party purposes which is the basis of the Unionist position in the present crisis
 The Laborite, John Ward. who was a dock laborer at one time, and pri- vate in the army. seconded the motion.
 'The House." he said. ''has to de- eide whether it is going to maintain the discipline of the army as a neutral force or whether the Parliament elect
