TOLLS SKIRMISH
A BITTER FIGHT
No Contest Like It Since Sliver
rurchase Clause Repeal.
i LGHG DEBATE NOW EXPECTED
Administration Fortunate In Getting
Measure Through House Befora Op
position Had Organized — Badgar
Gains Much Popularity by Conduct
| as Commander of Fleet In Mexico.
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington. May 10.—[Special.]—
The for the repeal of the free
tolls provision iu the Panama canal
act has tl.'veioped luto one of the great
est leci.M itivo buttles that has occurred
in congress siuee the repeal of the sil
ver purchase clause Iu the Sherman
law.
I That contest was more bitter than
the olio now ^roiug on in tho senate
bet:iuse a majority of the Democrats
in the senate at that time were In
tense! > hostile to President Cleveland
ami did not hesitate to express their
opinion*. In the present case the
Demoer-its who are opposing President
Wilson continue to extol his high pur
I est* iid do not in any way assail or
question his motives.
In the silver fight tho Democrats,
v. iih tu> silver Republican allies, open
ly organized and maintained a flllbuB
ter it the purpose of defeating the
lej islati hi bleb the president wanted.
\i iiiiii_' like that will be attempted In
nv.al to the repeal bill, although It
will be debated at ffroat length.
A Fortunate Move.
! It w.is a fortunate move for the
;■ .«id<.-nt that he had the repeal bill
Ink>'n tip and passed by the house as
quickly as possible. Had the house
l." fii able to delay the measure, or bad
tbe administration allowed It to be de
layed. It is doubtful whether It would
have li id plain sailing. The opposition
w.i'ild have grown with delay.
Speaker Champ Clark said that If
some !i speech as he made the day
I tin? debate closed could have been
made two weeks before and given as
w ■!(_• publicity as his speech, It would
have had the efrect of compelling nn
^wemhnent to the resolution such na
many members purposed. -At least the
speaker claims that it would have pre
vented the adoption of the rule which
shut out all amendment.
House May Have a Chance.
It is quite possible that tbe amend
ment which has been agreed to by the
senate committee on Interoceanlc ca
nals will afford the house an opportu
nity to vote on the Clark amendment
when the repeal bill is returned to that
body. There will be a fine parliamen
tary skirmish iu an efTort to secure a
vote which will emphatically assert
j Americau control. The longer the de
bate goes on iu the senate the better
opportunity there will be to secure an
| atueudment iu the bouse.
Commending Badger.
There lias been general commenda
tion of the manner In which Admiral
Charles J. Badger, the commander of
the Atlantic licet and senior In Mex
ican waters, has conducted himself
>-iii e he arrived there. Admiral Fletch
er. who is his junior, had things well
in hand, and Radger kept oilt of It, al
>wing Metiher to take all the credit
there \v;is for landing the bluejackets
an.l marines and taking the city of
Vera Cruz and bringing about order
and establishing American supremacy.
'"Badger could have gone In and hog
si'd the whole thing," said a man In
the navy department, "just as others
have done before him not only in the
navy, but in (lie army. But instead of
1 doing So he allowed Fletcher to handle
tlio affairs at Vera Cruz and has ex
tended the same courtesy to Admiral
Mayo at Tampico. It is just this kind
; of man that gets to be as popular as
Badger in the nary."
Chandler Did Not Show.
At the time of the suffrage demon
stration in Washington In favor of the
Bristow-Moudell amendment to the
, constitution many congressional snf
• frago advocates were called out and
I given credit for all they had done.
; Senator Rristow of Kansas and Con
gressman Moudell of Wyoming were
' the principal figures, while men from
• suffrage states were also in the lime
' light.
And Uirpuijh It all nobody Jjeard
nn.vffilDR of Chandler of New York.
And yet It was Chandler who moved
to report the Mondell resolution from
the committee on the Judiciary and
who made the report. "If it had not
been for Chandler," remarked one of
the members of the house, "(here
would not have been any Mondell res
olution to celebrate, and yet Chandler
did not fret even a little whiff of the
liujcllght during the demonstration."
Keeping Up Prices.
Champ Clark told the house a story
about how, after the Dlngiey bill pass
ed. his tailor put up the prices on his
clothes. After the Hnderwood bill
passi>d he asked if there would he a
reduction, and the tailor said there
was none. "The.v are keeping up those
old stilted prices and will continue to
do so until they lose trade. Just as this
man lost mine.*' said Champ.
"The. speaker ought to wear ready
made clothes, the same as I do." com
mented Minority Leader Mann.
London, June 1"—After a recess
since May 25, when the Home Rule
bill passed the House of Commons,
parliament reconvened Monday. The
Homo Rule bill is now in the house
of Lords where it is not expected to
be given Its second roading before
June 22.
There Is litttle doubt that the
Lords will adhere to their determin
ation not to pass the bill despite
the fac* that it will automatically
become a law, even though the
Lords turn it down.

We are pretty much in the dark in
regard to the ancient city of Babylon.
Even no estimate is given of the num

molished the city G!V) B. C. and made
the very site unrecognizable. The city
was rebuilt by Esarhuddon. Just
when it again disappeared is not made
clear in history, but it never attained
Its former eminence. Nothing definite
is known of its actual size.—Philadel
