Washington, March 23 While Pres ident Wilson has no doubts about the passage of the administration bill to repeal the Panama tolls exemption, he is anxious that it be brought to a vote promptly. He has been advised that a j vote probably will be taken as soon j as the rivers and harbors bill has been disposed of. Thc president said today It looked to him as If there had been a filibuster on the rivers and harbors bill to delay the vote on the tolls question, but! smilingly remarked that minorities j always filibuster. He denied a charge made on the floor of the senate that I he had attempted to limit thc tolls debate In the house. He said that while he had no part In suggesting a 1 rule to limit debate, he hoped there J would be one. In reply to questions as to whether he thought any improper Influences were being brought to bear against c the repeal the president declared that he had not sought to And any and (lid notsuspect them. He referred to the , controver y as a difference of opinion i among democrats and pointed out that ! a maWity of house democrats really ! had never voted for the tolls exemp- tlon and that the act was passed by a coalition of republicans with a mi nority of democrats.

Another effect has been tho flooding of tho market with a host of Inferior products destined to replace absinthe, which Itself Js smug gled In In largo quantities and forms a iast growing and highly remunera tive Illicit Industry.
