Washington. June 13.-The President, on
March next, accompanied by most oi

He will pass through the canal on the

took the Oregon from the Pacific in time

! cession OF American and foreign Warships
will follow. From Panama the President

known precisely when the formal opening
of the canal will take place, but it will

probably within ten days.

SENATE OFFERS NEW
ANTITRUST BILL
Legislation of the Upper House
Stronger than Present
Measure.
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, June 13.-The prospect that
the administration antitrust bill will not
reach a final form until redrafted by
the conferrees of the two houses was
held out to-day by the action of the
Senate Interstate Commerce Committee i'm
reporting the Newlands bill, with amend
ments in lieu of the measure passed by
the House.
The Senate measure is much stronger
than the House bill. The assertion was
made by Senator Newlands that it is non
partiJan and for this season he pre-
dicted that II would be passed without
long debate Numerous amendments will
be proposed before the measure is finally
disposed of.
Unless some action is taken by the
majority to formulate a bill as the last
word OF the administration II is prob
able that the Senate will pass legislation
so widely different from that approved by
the House that it will rest with the con-
ference committee finally to decide upon
antitrust legislation. There have al
ready been a half dozen administration
bills and the end is not yet.
Senator Newlands, in reporting the bill.
made the following statement:
THE commission will require reports
only from those corporations designated
by II, and the number will be compare
lively few. Honest corporations have
nothing TO fear from legislation aimed
only against outlaws The powers must
be general but their exercise will be
aimed only at violators Of the law"
Mr. Newlands explained that his com
mittee would soon report its second trust
measure. a railroad securities bill.
81 do not share" said he, the gloomy
views INDUCED in by some regarding the
railroad situation. on the contrary, be-
lieve the legislation which is being made
effective TO protect the railroads from
financial mismanagement of their own
trustees. OF which there are a few in
stances only, will place railroad securities
on a higher and more secure plane and
make them very desirable investments"
Several changes regarded as most i'm
portant were reported by the Senate
committee. One provides that unfair
competition In commerce shall be uniaw-
full and gives the trade commission
power TO prevent such competition by
court orders. Another provides for an
OF foreign trade conditions
and their effect upon American export
trade and an investigation OF the ques-
ton Of combinations among American
and foreign producers for the conorol OF
prices.
The House bill provides a commission
Of three members: the Senate one Of FIVE
members. The House bill gives the COM
mission authority over corporations WIZ
