The Passage of the Measure After a Bitter Struggle Lasting Several Months is Regarded as Wilson Victory
NO PROMISE OF APPROVAI
While President Has Not Officially Announced He Will Sign Measure, No Veto is Thought at All Likely
rAssoc1Arrn PRESS p1sPArcH1

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHl WASHINGTON. June 1.-The re- peal of the Panama canal tolls eX- emption for American coastwise ship ping passed the senate tonight by a vote of 30 to 30. The measure now goes back to the house, which is eX- pected to accept the Simmons Norris amendment especially reserving rights the United States may have under the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
 The passage Of the bill after a bit ter struggle that has lasted several months is regarded as another victory for President Wilson. Although thir- teen republicans came to the aid ol the democrats who voted for the bill on final passage. the president initiated the movement in his party to repeal it.
 Behind him were democrats who voted "aye" when lined up on the last test. Pittman of Nevada, Smith of Arizona, voted for; Ashurst of Ari- zona, Newlands of Nevada and Perkins and Works of California vot- ed against
 There has been no certain promise from the White House that the presi- dent will sign the bill with the quail flying amendment, but there has been no declaration that he will veto 1t, and party leaders in the senate are practically certain it's approval as amended by the house will lead at last to favorable action by the presi- dent
 Eleven democrats led by O'Gorman fought consistently to the end and even an hour before the last vote was taken they did not abandon their eff forts to amend the bill to meet their view of the manner which American rights in the canal and American rights to exempt coastwise shipping from canal toll payment have been guarded.
 The senate was weary with it's long time at debate and at the time Vice President Marshall put the question for the passage of the bill. oratory had died down, the chamber was quiet and the vote was taken with but little excitement.
 Earlier in the evening there was an outbreak among the democrats which showed more plainly than any thing which has gone before, the deep feel ing that has been aroused by this bill.
 Senators Vardaman of Mississippi and West of Georgia came near to blows, creating a scene such as had not been witnessed on the floor Ill many years.
 The bill nRbably will be sent over to the house tomorrow and can be taken up at once if house leaders de- sire. With the senate amendment. it l is a subject of conference if leaders on the house side insist upon one, but 1 it can be finally disposed of imme- diately, as far as congress is concern ed if the house accepts the senate amendment and agrees to the bill as ! sent them from the senate side. A conference would delay final approval i by congress. but it is not expected 1 that the measure would be kept in conference more than few days. 1 The evident temper of the senate | to defeat bill unless amended is ex- pected to have weight with the house and the democrats, anxious to put an end to the matter as soon as possl- | op poua Five

 Apart from possible danger from Mexican bullets, is the increasing menace of an outbreak of diseases in the low, pest-ridden deserts compris- ing the Vera Cruz district
