VOTE IN HOUSE LIKELY SATURDAY Debate There Could Not Be Limited to Fifteen Hours Nearly Hundred Speeches Prepared -Senator Owen Spoke in Senate Today. Washington, March 26. Democrat ic House leaders today abandoned the idea of only fifteen hours' debate on the. Panama Tolls Exemption Repeal bill, when the matter came up in the House. They agreed to twenty hours. This would bring the vote probably Saturday. Such provision, in a spe cial rule, brought in soon after thet House assembled, divided, the time so as to give ten hours to those sup porting the repeal, five hours for the Democrats opposed, four hours for Republicans and one hour for Pro gressives. These arrangements clear the way for launching of the actual fight in today's session. Nearly one hundred speeches have been prepared on both sides of the question and the fight promises to be the most spectacular since the Democratic Administration came into power. While the opening skirmish was on in tie House the first guns were be ing heard in the Senate, where Sen ator Owen delivered a speech sup porting President Wilson's conten tion for the repeal. MINERS TO APPEAL TO THE PRESIDENT Steubenville, Ohio, March 26 The United Mine Workers' officers came here today to advise the striking miners driven from their camp at Col liers, Va., last night, across the Ohio, to this place.

The other members of the United States senate whose terms will ex pire next March and the majority of whom appear reasonably sure of re election are F. B. Brandegee, of Con necticut; J. R.

The present membership of the senate stands 51 Democrats, 43 Re publicans, and 1 Progressive The body is certain to remain Democratic until March 4th, 1917. The elections of senators to take place this year will not detract from the Democratic majority, and, in fact, may add one or more to the voting "strength.
