CLAYTON STANDS
 WITH PRESIDENT

Chairman Clayton of the judiciary com mittee declared in a speech of one min Ute that he would support the Pres- dent An economic mistake was made, and will vote to repeal it. because l am democrat and I believe in upholdlng a democratic President" said MT. Ciay- ton. On the question of free tolls in 1912, the members of. the Alabama delegation voting for free tolls were Burnett, Clay ton, Heflin, Underwood, Taylor and Hob son. Those voting against free tolls were Dent, Richardson and Blackmon.
 Representative Abercrombie was not then member of Congress and is wear ing broad smile because he has no record to rise up and haunt" him now. He has not decided how he will vote, but says that he is making careful study of the question:
 Only MT. Underwood, Clayton and Dent of the Alabama delegation who had pre- viously voted on the question were called upon to vote today. The remainder of the delegation was out of Washington. s MT Underwood was given his second ovation of the day. After the rule was adopted and he took the floor following Representatives Sims of Tennessee and made the first speech in opposition to re- peal. there was no bitterness in MT. in- derwood $ voice, but in calm and meas ured tones he deprecated the proposed reversal of party policy.
 At the conclusion of MT. Underworld ' speech there was another big demonstra ton in honor of the House leader.
 It Is understood that Judge Clayton's 8 speech in defense of the adoption of the rule was made because of a personal appeal from the President himself.

DOES NOT STOP TO MOURN LOSSES

General Villa did not stop to mourn his losses, but with characteristic energy he- gan preparations to move on Torreon. l He expects to cooperate with 400 men under General Herrera, who is under or 1 ders to attack the town from the cast. Newspaper correspondents were per- mitted to enter the city with Villa. Ev- l anywhere rebel soldiers were resculng thc l Injured and taking them to the railroad. There were stretchers, but not nearly enough. and stout pole wit ha blanket suspended, hammock fashion, had to sur- flee.
 The day was hot and the air fairly smelled with stale blood.
 Those with flesh wounds dlsdaned to desert and many a soldier, limping fsoin q wound in the leg or with one arm sup ported in a blood-stalned bandage, was seen among the stretcher bearers.
 Villas first assault in force took place four days ago There was comparatively a small number of federas in the city and premature reports of victory were sent out. Soon, however the federals received endorsements and in the des- perate fighting which followed the rebels had rather the worst of it. and General Villa withdrew.
 The next day Wednesday, General Angeles artillery commander, shelled the city all day and part of the night. Villa had learned that the federal commandef, General Nelasco, was concentrated in force in the town and himself was in Inc trenches inspiring his men, and the rebel leader under cover of the bombardnent concentrated every available man for fresh assault
 This was delivered Wednesday night, but it was not decisive, although -he rebels held the stone roundhonse and few other natural defenses in the out skirts of the city.

By c. E. STEWART

Washington, March 27.-(spccinI.) The passion-torn House of Representa- tives today was a seething mass of ex- citement and the scene of n bitter con- fllct in which party lines were Ioosed to the winds.
 On the first real test of strength on the President fight to repeal canal tolls the President won the opening skirmIsb and the so-calIed gag rule was adopt cd by a majority of 2S votes.
 Representative Underwood spoke against the rule and Representative Clay ton for it. MT. Underwood closed the debate against the rule and was greeted with prolonged applause. q regret that l differ with the President and am com relled to differ with many of my col leagues" said MT. Underwood, but the democratic party made this plank in it's platform. Believing that it is right, there is one position that I can take 10 sustain the position of my party, as ex- pressed in it's platform.
 Let us not turn our faces against the principle we fought for.1 said MJ. Ghaes- wood, referring to the cloture rule of tfe majority. The minority has a right to be secured and propose reasonable amend ments,' he said, "the same right that we fought for when we overthrow Cannon ism and which the country sustained to the extent that they elected demo- cratic House of Representatives"

ENGLISH POLITICAL
 SITUATION WITHOUT
 APPARENT CHANGE
Question of designations to Be Declared After Cab inet Meeting Today.
 Crisis Continues

London. March 27.-The political silua- other cabinet council will be held tomor- row morning and no official declaration as to what course Field Marshal Sir John French, chief of the general staff, and General Sir John Spencer Ewart adjutant general Of the forces, will take with re- gard to their resignations. is expected until after the meeting,
 Sir Edward Carson. unionist leader in Ulster, had left Craigavon for London, but the report that Brigadier General Hubert Cough of the Third cavalry bri- gade at Curragh camp, is coming to the capital tonight seemed to be premature. He still is at Curragh camp
 The continuation of the crisis is at tributed to Premier Asquiths reluctance to remove Colonel seely from the post of Secretary of War. Colonel seely's re- lnquishment of his portfolio doubtless would satisfy Generals French and Ewart and Premier Asquiths objection to hay ing him do so seems to indicate dissen- sions in the cabinet itself.
 Seely Attacked
 The Weekly Nation regarded as the organ of Chancellor David Lloyd-George' s section of the cabinet, today attacks Col onel Seely with great bitterness. It de- clares that even after he left the unionlst ranks he never really became liberal. It adds that it was a great mistake to put him into the war office
 The Nation suggests that man of hard CT musele-like John Burne, president of the local government board, or Walter Runciman, president of the board of ag riculture-is needed to cope with the army situation. The newspaper declares that d wave of determination to put the army in its place and restore the threatened au- thority of Parliament has swept through the country and adds:
 If the government will lead well and good; if not, other champions will arise .
 Should Strike Bargain
 The Nation says the liberals should strike bargain by insuring the la bar party 100 seats in the next Parlia- ment. Liberal leaders heretofore always have declined to bind themselves to the labor party, but if the Nations sugges- tion is adopted as an outcome of the cry of the army vs. Parliament, it is not im- probable that the new coalition would sweep the country
 It is said a large section of the unionist party realizes this danger, and therefore Is anxious to reach a settlement of the home rule question by consent.
 Percy Holden Illingworth, chief liberal whip in the House of Commons, in a speech at Blackburn tonight, declared that if every officer in the army resigned the government would not finch a hair s breadth from the task it had in hand

OWEN SUPPORTS PRESIDENTS TOLL
 POLICY IN SENATE
Takes Position That Exemp- tiOn Provision Is in Viola tiOn of Hay-Paunce-
 fOte Treaty

Washington. March 27.--As the opposing factions in the House were aligning them- selves today for the definite opening of the fight over the administration bill 10 repeal the tolls exemption clause of the Panama canal act Senator Owen ad- dressed the Senate. supporting President Wilson's attitude in urging the repeal He took the position that the exemption Was in violation Of the -Pauncefote treaty
 When the first draft of the Hay Pauneefote treaty was submitted to the Senate Mir Bard of California, Decem- Der B, 1900, moved to substitute the fol- lowing article:
 The United States reserves the light in the regulation and management of the canal to discriminate in respect to the charges of traffic in favor of vessels of it's own citizens engaged in the coastwise trade said the senator.
 'The Senate not only did not give two-thirds vote in favor of such discrimi- nation, but gave almost two-thirds vote
 
 the Senate had refused to amend the treaty by recognizing the right to dis criminate In favor of vessels of it's own citizens engaged in coastwise trade.
 Cannot Face World
 With such a record before us we could not face the world and interpret the Hay Pauncefote treaty as permitting discrim- nation. We refused to put in a provision recognizing discrimination on December IT, 1900; we had recognized the doctrine in the Clayton-Bulwer convention of 1S5O for 50 years for equal terms to the citi- zens of all nations; we recognized it again in the Hay -Pauncemote treaty of 1901, confirmed by 72 senators to six, and we refused to strike out of the Hay-Paunce- fote treaty the naturalization agreed upon in 1850.
 .The argument that the Panama canal is coastwise canal for coastwise vessels is strained construction. It is more than 150o miles from Galveston to Panama, and still farther from Panama to Los Angeles. Is Hawaii also part of nar coast line, and Guam, and the Philip pines?
 Great Britain. owning India and the British Isles With about as much pto- priety could claim exemption for her coastwise vessels going through the SLcz canal.
 People Taxed
 Ninety millions of our people nave taxed themselves to build the canal and now less than 5000 shipowners are de- manding to use it without paying for the cost of keeping it in order or within ori- mary cost.
 There is no common sense or justice in the proposal that one country should have the right to tax other countries, or one American tax 10000 other Americans for his private benefit. l understand rer- fectly how a group of rich men, owning a monopoly in coastwise shipping can stir up dissensions and patriotic Irish ->~-~>>---------~
