carried a crow of 170 men and was
heavily loaded with 17,000 sealskins,

Washington, April 4.
To callers with whom he discussed
the Panama, tolls fight In the senate
recently. President Wilson made
himself unmistakably clear on sev
eral polnta, to-wlt:
That proposals of compromise have
not been broached to him and that he
is not considering such proposals.
That he doea not expect the repeal
bill to be unduly delayed In the sen
ate, hut does expect its passage in
fairly good time and by an impressive
majority.
That he haa not sent any "uftlma
turn" to the senate, and la not at
tempting in any way to bring the
power of his office to bear upon In
dividual senators.
Suggestions that patronage Is being
used or will be used that the presi
dent Is trying to club senators Into
line not only is vigorously repudiat
ed at the White House but fairly
lacks corroborative evidence, If It
were not for their scurrilous charac
ter, intimation of the sort would be
lightly regarded In the president's
Immediate circle. That is, resort to
such is not necessary, the repeal bill,
the president is assured, will be
paased.
Talk of compromise started afresh
yesterday afternoon after Senator
Martin, of Virginia, one of'the demo
cratic senators who haa been o.t the
I doubtful list, announced ha would
support the administration, but would
l favor amending the repeal measure
i with a declaration that the elimina
tion of the exemption clause shall not
be construed as sacrificing In any de
gree America's aoverelgnlty over the
canal. It was said that the Virginia
senator's qualifying proposition was
gaining ground rapidly.
The Virginian's suggestion, it la
