Not Much Interested.

LONDON, Jan. THE project of re.
viving the negotiations for q general
Anglo-American Arbitration treaty, on
th3 subject OF which President Taft ia
sounding the sen ate committee on for
eign relations, attracts compar atively
little interest here. Few OF the news
papers express an opinion on the m at
ter.
Undoubtedly the British government
would meet the United States half
way. The liberal party is particularly
favorable to such an arrangement.
The general feeling, however, is that
the senate may block the plan and the
English statesmen are not anxious for
repetition of the experience which
was had with the Hay.Pauncefote
treaty.

County Division Schemes.

HELENA, Jan. mo less than ff-
teen county division schemes have de.
veloped since the Twelfth legisl ative
assembly convened Monday. Each
one has its lobby and the lobbyists
have organized into . sort OF county
division scheme club.
There are many factors working
against the county division schemes.
They will find opposition primarily by
reasion of the fact that ii carried out
they will tend to give the balance of
power in the senate to counties that
boast of compar atively small popula-
tions. For instance. If the three
schemes for deviding Choutesu county
were carried out, territory that is now
represented by one member in the sen-
ate and bossting of q popul alton of
little more than l6. 900 would have q
representation of three in the senate,
40 against one for Silver Bow, with
Its 900 population.
1t is more than probable that sg.
gressive local opposition in the vari-
GUS counties will arise. Increased
taxes incident to the increased cost of
county government will not find gen.
eral favor.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 7.-Aiming a

on inter.oceanic canals today adopted
material amendments to the Mann bill

The amendment asks the presiden,
to fix the freight and passenger

charges must be not less than fifty
cents nor more that Sl.50 per net ton.

shall be paid for vessels In ballas,

The proviso refers especially to
such railroad companies as seek to
