Washington, D. C President Wil son won the opening skirmish of the greatest legislative battle of his Ad ministration when the House, over bit ter protests from the recognized Demo cratic leaders and almost solid minority opposition, adopted a special rule for the consideration of the bill repealing the free tolls provision ot the Panama Canal act. Speaker Clark, Democratic Leader Underwood, Republican Leader Mann and Progressive Leader Murdoik were at the head of those lined up against the Administration, but the House re sponded to the President's personal appeal for prompt consideration of the repeal bill as a means of support ing his Administration's foreign policy. Two votes demonstrated the Presi dent's commanding Influence with his party In Congress on the first test, a motion to end debate and preclude amendment on the rule, carried by a vote of 207 to 176; the rule Itself was adopted by 200 to 172.

Following the announcement of Speaker Clark against the rule, high feeling had appeared on both sides of the controversy and every Influence available was brought to bear on the doubtful ones In the House. As a result, when the ptruggle be gan, both sides were keyed up to a high pitch. MT. AIRY HAS $100,000 FIRE. Fire Starts In Boiler Room Of a Mill ing Company. Mount Airy, Md.

IS NOT YET OF THE British PremlerStillHasSerious Obstacles Ahead. ARMY SITUATION IS CLOUDED The Adjutant General Has Also Quit, Though It It Stated That Both Of Them Have Yielded To Persuasion. Iondon. The air is full of ex travagant rumors, among the most credible being the report that Colonel Seeley is, after all, to quit the War Ollice by an exchange of portfolios with Lewis llarcourt, secretary for the colonies. Tbe only new facts in the situation were to be found In the resignation of Field Marshal Sir John French, chief of tbe Imperial General Staff, and Sir John Spencer Ewart, adjutant gen eral, from the Army Council. The rumor persists that other members of the Army Council have resigned, but this cannot be confirmed. Negotiations and conferences be tween Buckingham Palace, the War Oilice and Downing street were car ried on throughout the day, and it was known that the strongest efforts were being made to induce Field Marshal French and Gen. Ewart to reconsider their action. The Prime Minister call ed a hurried meeting of the cabinet at his residence after it was decided to postpone the statement to Parliament.

Belfast remains quiet and, although It Is asserted that the officers at the Curragh camp are determined to re sign because of the repudiation of Colonel Seely's guarantee by the gov ernment, on actual resignations bo far as Is known have occurred. According to the best information, the conference at the War Office of all the principal commanding generals of the army was called to enable Gen erals French and Ewart to explain that their resignation was a personal mat ter, arising solely from the fact that they signed the Gough memorandum, which the government had since repu diated, and they urged that a'l the other officers should remain at their po: is.

Conflicting reports have the situation at Gomez Palaclo and Torrcon one for conjecture. General Villa telegraphed to Manuel Chao at Juarez that he had been In possession of Gomez Palaclo since Thursday morning and predicted that the rebels would have Torreon not later than Saturday. On the other hand, Miguel Dlebold, or Huerta's consular service, exhibited telegrams declaring that the rebels had been re pulsed at all points. Diebold alleged that when at first the rebels thought they had Gomez Palaclo they were the victims of a trap, as a result of which they lost heavily in dead and wounded, not to mention the loss of 600 prisoners. The Federal retreat, he said, was a feint to draw the rebels over 127 dyna mite mines which, he said, were ex ploded under the Invaders with the re sult mentioned. General Villa's telegram, as given out by General Chao, asserted that the rebels were still maintaining a base at El Verjal, five miles from Gomez Palacio, while the railroad line be tween the two places was being re paired. He added that the Federals had attempted to evacuate Torreon through the hills to the south, but were driven back Into the city. , Villa Is said by Chao to have as serted that for the 24 hours preceding his taking of Gomez Palacio the battle was confined mostly to artillery prac tice.
