(Ry Associated Press)
Washington, June 10.-The senate
tonight cleared away most of tue legis
lative barriers In t he way of a final
vote on the canal tolls exemption re
peal bill and unless there are unfore
seen developments the fight which
bas raged in ?congress over this mea
sure for many months will come to a
close before adjournment.
Votes taken tonight on ifie amend
ment designed to preserve any right
the United States possessen under thc
Hav-Pauncefote treaty with Great
Britain to exempt American ships
from toll payment through the Pana
ma canal Indicated that tho forcea of
repeal will win by a substantial ma
jority 1
Senator. Simmons, who has led the
fight for repeal, hus estimated that
the bill will carry by not leBS than ten
votes and there was everv premise
that his estimate will prove correct.
This was the first test vote after
six weeks' debate on the repeal bill.
The most optimistic senators; who fav
. ored; repeal had not expected tho
amendment to .carry by so lar$;e a
..majority. It ls not oell3ved, however,
tho M1? itself cnn, be put through hy
so great a margin..
Nino democratic senators, Ashurst,
Martine, O'Gorman, Ponieran;?, P.an
sel1. Recd, Shields, Walsh and 'A'11

HouBe within four or five weeks, ac
cording to tho predictions made at- tho
capital tonight after thc. rules commit
tee had postponed until July 1, action
on a special rule to provide for imme
diate consideration of thc proposed
Hobson amendment. .Members of tho
committee declared they would consid
er end probably favorably report the
Cant roll resolution tn July.
- The committee's action followed a
day of stormy conferences between
groups of Congressmen without refer
ence to political division. It generally
woo conceded- that opponents of the
Hobson amendment wqre fore in cr tho
issue, confident thc measure co?. . not
now poll tho two-thirds vote necessary
- for passage. Representative, Hobson,
V .. himself does not now favor the action
, though he said tonight that a vote
would' bo taken the second week in
July. ;
When the committee 'by a.five to
four vote deferred consideration *bf
the rule it was announced that this
course had been deemed wise because
of important matters now before thc
House for immediate disposition.
Earlier Mr. Hobson submitted ! a
statement to the committee; saying he
desired to have his r?solution changed

MEDIATING FORCES? ES*,
TRANGED THREATENS AT
NIAGARA FALLS .
U. S. WANTS REBEL
_
American Representatives Would
Not Agree to Have Huerta "
Man As Mexican President
(By Associated Prona)
Niagara Falls, June 10.-Diff?rences
of opinion so serious that they. Im
peril tho continuance of the confer
ences here have developed botwecn
the American delegates and the media
tion plenipotentiaries. On two vital
points there is flat disagreement..
First, thc mediators, representing
presumably the viewpoint of the Mcx
can delegates, arc Insisting that the
provisional president of Mexico shall
be a neutral who shall not have beett;
an active partisan in the constitution
alist cause.
The American delegates have stated'
emphatically that unless. the choice
falls on a man of distinct constitu
tionalist sympathies, not necessarily
a military chief or leader, but one who
would command their confidence,
there can be no hope of constitution
alist acceptance of any peace program
adopted here.
Second, the United States govern
ment is determined that, the method,
of transition from tho present regime
to the new government shall not be
through the appointment by General
Huerta, as minister ot foreign affairs,
of the man agreed on for provisional
president. J ?
To permit him to exercise- tho con
etittttional functions - of naming bia
successor, according to the American
viewpoint ^viU^ be equivalent to recog
.med?atprs,;-whb ' argue that Inasmuch'
os the world will know the mediation
conference had selected the next pro
visional president; tho form of suc
cession ls unimportant. :
. Which is the greater sacrifico, ?bb
-mediators ask, for General Huerta to
t name a' minister of foreign affairs
whose political principles are not in
accord with his own, and then to have
the latter almost immediately succeed
him as provisional president of .Mexi
co, or for the United StateB to yield
on the technicality as to the manaor
In which the transfer shall be made?
The mediators were occupied- today
with a discussion of these points
among themselves. Thoy did not con
fer with either the American or Mexi
can delegates. The .Mexicans let lt
be known that they considered tho
mehtod of succession a techincality,
I but would not definitely say whether
\ they would yield their position. They
are anxious that the provisional presi
dent shall be a neutral and if possi
ble a man who has not been identified
with the political faction in Mexico.
They would not accept a constitution
alist partisan, they say, and especially
I no active worker In that movement.
j The United States has taken a firm
position that there can. be no good
prospect of a peaceful settlement un
less the mediation recognizes the mili
tary conquest of the constitutionalist
and takes into consideration the prob
ability that the constitutionalists soon
will enter Mexico City.
No names have been suggested for
the provisional presidency but lt IR
known that the American delegates
are not insisting'on General Carnaza
or General Villa- or any military "Mef.
Tomorrow the mediators expect to
discuss these points In detail with, (he
Mexican delegates. One mediator to
day said he felt confident no obstacle
could-arise to disrupt mediation and
that all differences would be recon
ciled.

To Have Little Ones For a
Month or Two
Special Correspondence.
Columbia, June 10.-Mrs. Lucy
Dugus, the divorced wife of Ii. R. Till
man, Jr., appeared before the South
Carolina supreme court this afternoon
and opposed the petition of United
States Senator and Mrs. I). It. Tillman
that they be allowed the custody of
Douschku Picken? Tillman and Sarah
Starke Tillmau during the months of
July and August. VounB Ben Tlll
man will then bc absent from thc state*
Thc mother said that Senator and
Mrs. Tillman had no right whatever
to claim the little girls.
No decision was announced hy tim
court, which took the petition under
ad virement!
Henry C. Tillman of Greenwood, a
pon of Senator Tillman and brother of
young Ben Tillman, thc father of the
two children, appeared and made thc
request that the senator and Mrs. Till
man be allowed to have tho children
for July and August, as young Ben
would then be abseat from the state,
having obtained a position. us secre
tary of the board of engineers- which
would lay out'the route for the gov
ernment railroad ia Alaska'
. Under the decision of the court over
a yOar ago, the children, were to be
with thir father during the summer
months. ' The senator and his -wife
asked to be allowed to have the chil
dren, ; and Mr. Henry Tillman , said
they ware, getting
children ' and ' they' made the request
out of- justice and humanity. '
"My request IB more to your human
side than to the strict law," said Mr.
Tillman.
Counsel for the young mother in op
posing the request said the father
gave up his right when ho left thc
state. She wanted tb make a point
of the allegation that she alone had
contributed to the support of the chil
dren since the separation -from her
husband four years ago, and sho said
he ought to be made to contribute to
their support by the court.
Thc question of support the court
ruled out and hold the parties down to
the oue question whether the senator
and Mrs. Tillman should bc allowed
ito have thc children during July and
August Mrs. Dugan' attorney would
not even admit tho jurisdiction of the
court, but reserved the right tc raiso
this ns an objection.
Mrs. Dugas, dressed entirely in
white, followed tho proceedings with
closest attention. Sho was accom
panied to the court room by her cou
sin, Dr. F. P. W. Butler, and her attor
neys, Graydon & DoPass. Tho two
little girls were not in court.
