WASHINGTON, March 28.—The sensation of to-day's debate on Pres ident Wilson's bill for the repeal of the free tolls clause of the Panama Canal act was a speech by Represen tative Knowland, of California. He cited dates of alleged secret visits to President Wilson made by Sir Ed ward Tyrrell, private cecretary to the British Foreign Minister, and guoted concurrent facts to prove that the Ad. ministration’'s policy of requiring American coastwise ships ot pay tolls through the canal had been formed since the date of those visits, Representative Knowland then at tacked Secretary Bryan and quoted from a speech made at Washingin Park, Pa., on May 13, 1913, in which Mr. Brvan upheld the sacredness of a party platform. Mr, Knowland con cluded by saluting Sir Edward Grey as “the greatest diplomat eof the age.” The galleries were jammed with «n interested, expectant throng. Mauy had come hoping to hear Speaker Clark in the speech which his friends believe will change many wavering votes, but that effort is being reserved for the last hours of the debate. Mr, Clark’'s speech probably will be made next Tuesday. Rumors of Compromise. . The danger of a party split that can not be healed has given rise to rumors of compromise. Several plans to this end are being discussed to-night. One of these plans is that proposed by Senator J. Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois, who to-day intro duced a bill repealing the free tolls clause, but giving the President au thority to remit tolls for American ships whenever he should deem it ex pedient, This bill, however, is not acceptable to either side. Next to Representative Knowland's speech the effort of Representative’ Fitzgerald, of Brooklyn, attracted the most attention in to-day’'s display of oratorical firewgrks. Mr. Fitzgerald's speech was a studied and schelarly argument that the free passage «f coastwise shil»s through the canal is not in violation of any treaty. He reviewed the history of American shipping and quoted from eminent British authorities in support of his position. Repregentative O'Shaunessy, of Rhode Island, aroused some applause when he said: “It is claimed that free tolls is in the interest of a shipping monopoly. The law declares all monopoly to be illegal. 1f there is such a monoypoly, why is it not prosecuted? Al branches of the Government are in the hands of the Democrats. With such a monopoly destroyed, this ar gument would fail.” Englishmen Like Stevens’' Speech. Representative Stevens, of Minne sota, made the strongest argument of the day in behalf of the President’s bill. Two kKnglish newspaper writers who were present were so impressed by it that they hastened over to com= gratulate him, . Tornado in Kansas . i . Kills I;lnjures Many HUTCHINSON, KANS., March 28.
