Replying at length to what he called a "scurrilous and slanderous article In the Kcw Work World," the speaker said the charge that he had been swayed In his attitude toward the bill by the "ship tmb aldy Interests" was n "base and false In sinuation." "If any man here believes that slander, ' shouted the speaker, "let him stand up here and now, so that he may be seen by hundreds ot witnesses." Tim newspaper he named, lie said, "alonar with every editor In America who hope to be an ambassador, mlnlstei, con sul general or In some other fat nnd Juicy Job, has been endeavoring to plaoe mo In antagonism to tho presllsnt pur since tho election.

Republican Leader Mann told the house three questions were Involved In a repeal of the Tanama tolls exemption-treaty right i. moral rights apart from treaty construction, and the economic policy In volved. The economic question might be changed at any time, he said, but a de cision on treaty rights must be a lasting one. He maintained that no construction of the Hay-Pauncefote Meaty compelled the United StaUs to charge the same; tolls on Its own ships or those of Panama as nere levied on those of other nations. "A reading ot the rulea to be observed by nations to receive equal treatment." he said, "plainly discloses that they are not applicable to the United States or Panama. War Sure to Come. "Tnxlaiid'a attempt tr aecura its con struction ot the treaty at this time Is not for Its present effect. It Is for the long distant future. If w construct the treaty ! according to the English view. It Is sure to rise and embarrass us whenever we' have war with other countries. War Is not dtslrable, but It Is Inevitable. We cannot always maintain peace.
