constitutlonaIist Chief Fails in the
Object Of His Visit.
FL Paso Tex. May 16.-Word has
filtered thru the border thru foreign
refugees that one Of the objects OF the
present visit Of Gen. Venustiano Car
rama. first chief Of tho Constitutional
lists. to Durango, has not been at
tained.
General Carranza. 1t 10 said, hoped
on this visit to smooth over the differ.
ences between the Arrieta brothers,
Domingo and Mariana. and Gen. Fran
cisco villa. The Arrietas have in their
command between 1000 and $500 men.
At tho time Of the siege Of Torreon
they. nominally at least. paid alles-
lance to General Carranza and his
commander in chief, General Villa and
called themselves constitutionalists.
General Villa ordered them to report
before Torreon. but they refused to do
80, it Is said. General Villa then is
said to have issued an order Of arrest
against them.
When they heard Of the order Of ar
rest 1t was said the Arrietas threat
ened to Join Huerta, but this they later
denied. The Arrietas gave General
Carranza q most cordial welcome on
his arrival in Durango and pleaded
allegiance to the constitutionalist COM
mander in chief, but 1t IL alleged that
when General Carranza requested
them to report with their men before
Saltillo they refused to lead their
troops out of the state OF Durango.
Refugees assert that II may become
necessary for part Of Villas army to
march to Durango to assert the aus.

M'LEAN FOR TOLLS REPEAL.
Rspu ubliean From Atlantic Coast Holds
u. 8. Shippers Should Be Charged.

Y. 8. Shippers Should Be Charged.
Washington May lS. American
coastwise shipping ought to pay its
share OF the expense Of operating the
Panama canal.
This is the contention OF g republi-
can senator from the Atlantic coast
Mclean. OF Connecticut-presen In
speech he delivered In the senate in
favor Of repeating the Panama canal
toll exemption provision.
The senator argued that in Difference
TO its obligations under the Hay
Pauncefote treaty the United States
should hasten to repeal legislation
which has injured the reputation Of
the republic for sincerity and fair
dealing.
while I do not see how the COM
mercial effect OF the payment or non.
payment OF tolls by our coastwise ships
can enlighten us as to our obligations
under our treaties with Great Britain,
or throw light upon the intent OF those
responsible for the language OF those
treaties. I do find comfort In the con-
clusions I have reached with regard to
this controversy from purely COM
mercial point of view," said the sena-
tor. $50
"The payment or non-payment OF
tolls by our ships has little, IL any,
economical Significance as II seems to
