With the exception of Mrs. Harriet Stanton Washington, March 20. President Wilson has been informed by Sena tors Lea and Shields and practically the entire congressional delegation from Tennessee that his message of harmony to democratic factions in that state had had a good effect and was being generally praised. The delegation informed the presi dent that they had settled on their political principles and now were smoothing over "old personalities." They asserted the convention of in dependent democrats which recently adopted resolutions opposing the president's appeal for harmony was "largely a proxy meeting." The president said he was glad to hear that the factions were reuniting and used as an illustration of his view of the situation the difference between an "amalgam" in which the chemical elements are held together by outside pressure, and "chemical mixture" in which elements mix of their own accord. He said that what was necessary now was "chemical mixture" and that he hoped internal difficulties would be settled. There were no representatives in the delega tion from the convention which adopted the resolutions opposing the president's stand, but among those who called at the Whits House wore J. G. D.

President Wilson told Senator Jones, republican, of Washington, yesterday he was ' skating on thin ice" in his speech yes terday when he broadly intimated that the president had not decided to read a message to congress on the Panama tolls question until after Sir Lionel Garden, British minister to Mexico, visited the White House. The president told callers afterward that he could not get a suggestion on the Mexican position out of Sir Lionel "with a corkscrew," and that the con ference was purely for information of the general situation in Mexico. The president had written his tolls message and decided to deliver it before he saw Sir Lionel. Officials said neither the tolls question nor any suggestions for future policy in the Mexican situation came up in the talk with Sir Lionel. Senator Jones then returned to the capitol and told the senate: "The president assures me that there was no basis of fact in the arti cles I referred to. to warrant the con- L.
