SENATE PASSES TOLL BILL;
NO EXEMPTION FOR OUR SNIPS
FIFTY SENATORS FOR THE BILL INCLUDING 13 REPUBLICANS—35
VOTES AGAINST IT—PASSAGE OF MEASURE IS CONSIDER
ED AS A WILSON VICTORY.
•
WASHINGTON, June 12.—The Sen
ate today passed the administration
bill repealing the toll exemption given
by the last Republican congress to
the shipping owned by Americans and
used exclusively in the coasting trade
from Atlantic to Pacific ports.
The administration bill was amend
ed to provide that “nothing in this
bill shall be taken as indicating the
.surrender by the United States to
make such exemptions if it so
chooses."
The amendment was made neces
sary before the bill could be passed
and was agreed to by President Wil
son. The bill as amended will now
go bac kto the House for adoption
by the House and if agreed to by
the lower branch of congress will be
sent to the president for his approv
al. If the House fails to agree on
the bill as amended it will go to
conference.
The vote in the Senate was 50 for
the bill and 35 against it, 13 Re
publicans, led by Senator Root, vot
ing for the passage of the bill, while
a number of Democrats, led by Sen
ator O’Gorman, of New York, voted
against it.
The passage of the bill is consid
ered a big victory for President Wil
son and he has received the congrat
ulations of^nany prominent men, es
pecially Andrew Carnegie and the
members of the Peace Society.
Opinions differ here among politic^
ians as to the effect the passage of
the- bill will have upon the coming
congressional elections, and Reptlb-;
licans assert that the Panama repeal
bill and the Mexican muddle presage
the certain defeat of the Democrats,
while administration supporters are
equally positive that the action of
President Wilson in advocating the,
bill, in spite of party pledges and
his placing of right above party gain,
will insure him the support of all
intelligent citizens.

PITTSBURG, June 12.—A crowd of
two thousand strikers surrounded the
local jail today in an effort to res
cue one of their members who had
been arrested by the police charged

preventing a clash with the itollce.

in readiness to turn the hoses upon
the crowds under the protection of
the police. The mayor had given in
stractions not to use guns unless
absolutely necessary in self-defense
and to depend upon the cold water
‘and the u*se of night sticks to quell

NEW YORK, June 12.—George W.
Perkins, bead of the Harvester Trust,
and a former partner of J. P. Mor
gan, today denied the published stor
ies that he intended to resign from
the Progressive party and no longer
give the Moosers the powerful finan
cial aid he has given them in the
past.
Perins said that the party was not
dead and that in spite of the poor
showing at the recent congressional
elections and at the more recent pri
maries thaf the party would make a
better showing this fall than in 1912,
when Theodore Roosevelt headed the
ticket.
Because of the tremendous strength
shown by District Attorney Whitman
the Progressives are not expected to
put up any candidate against him, but
will endorse the Republicn nominee,
according to present plans, but will
nominate a candidate for senator
against any Be publican.

AMERICAN SHIP LANDS ARMS;

ANTILLA, WITH SMALL ARM8, AMMUNITION, RAPID FIRING MACH
INE GUNS AND FIELD ARTILLERY REACHED TAMPICO AND LANDS
THE GUNS FOR REBEL8 WITHOUT INTERFERENCE.
_ «re.y**s i
WASHINGTON, June 12—Secretory
of the Navy Daniels today received
advices from Admiral Badger, in
charge of the American battleship
fleet In Tampico harbor, that the
American steamer Antilla had arriv
ed at the Mexican port with a large
consignment of small arms and am
munuition, besides a number of rap
id firing guns and field batteries.
The secretary of the navy advised
the Department of State of the ar
rival of the steamer, but no effort
has- been made, nor is contemplated,
looking to the preventing of the
landing of the arms for the rebels.
Grave apprehension is felt here at
the outcome of the Mexican situa
tion, and it is feared that the Ameri
can' government will lose the support
of foreign governments because of
its persistence in aiding the rebels,
who are known to be no better than
bandits.
Democratic politicians have appeal
ed to the president in vain to have
him seek some way out of the dif
ficulty without recognizing Villa and
Carranza, as they fear that if Huerta
is deposed by Villa or Carranza con
ditions in Mexico will be even worse
than heretofore and that our diplom
acy will be the laughing stock of the
powers, besides being certain to
cause Democratic losses at the fall
election.
A strong effort is being made by
a faction of the Democratic party to
have, the president drop Bryan in the
hope that the public will lay any
blame for error in handling the Mex
ican situation to the "peerless leader."

it.
After the explosion it was found

about the floor.
This is the third time that West
