The answer of Tiffany and company to the suit of Mrs. Daniel J. SuIly, who seeks to regain certain jewels worth about s100000. was disclosed Friday ir the New York supreme court
 The firm asserts that it purchased the jewels in question in good faith from a person representing himself as the duly accredited agent of Mrs. Sul- ly and that no attempt was made to regain the jewelry until after the lapse of time which estops recovery by the statute of limitations.
 The jewels in question include the following: One marquise diamond ring one diamond crescent, one diamond bow knot, one diamond necklace, one emerald and diamond, one pearl pen dant, one emerald and diamond pen dant
 The Tiffanys allege in answer that on November 29. 1904, Richard B. Comstock of Providence, then in con- trol of this jewelry came to them, rep resenting himself as agent of Mrs. Sul- ly and sold to the firm the gems.
 The firm made a written agreement with him to permit him to repurchase the jewelry at the same price within l2 months. but this option was never acted upon.
 About this time, Tiffany's explained, Daniel J. Sul1y came into the bank ruptcy court and asked for his dis charge. T1ffanys appeared as cred itor for about S11o,O0 in the bank TuptcX schedules.
 The option to repurchase the jewels expired on November 29, 1905. As the present action was not brought until about six years later, the firm contends that the action is barred by the stat. ute of limitations.

in Colorado has yet yielded any such
handsome returns. But the alfalfa

sum. Henry Stadtman of the White

alfalfa seed land, threshed total of

Washington.-Great Britain's formal
note of protest against that section of
the Panama canal act which exempts
American coastwise shipping from
the Panama canal, a document writ
ten by Earl Grey, British minister for
foreign affairs, was presented to Sec
retary Knox by the British ambassa-
dor, James Bryce, who read the note
word for word to the secretary at the
latter's home. 1t is an elaboration of
the points Of objection in the note pre-
sented to the State Department last
July.
The note declares that while it was
clearly in violation of the Hay-Paunce-
tolls on all American shipping using
the canal, the same objection might
apply to the coastwise trade shipping
In view Of the probable impossibility
Of framing regulations that would not
result in preference to American
shipping.
In addition to supporting these
points by long arguments, Earl Grey
Indicates clearly that strong resist
ance will be offered to any attempt to
exclude from the canal British ships
owned by Canadian railroads or by
British subjects interested in the traf-
fic who may be guilty of violating the
Sherman antitrust act.
He holds that this section of the act
cannot apply to British shipping, but
only to United States vessels.
He indicates that underlying the
objection to the exemption from toll of
American coastwise ships is an appre-
hension that In the future the prin-
ciple might be extended to cover
American ships in the foreign trade.
Otherwise the note is devoted al
most entirely to an effort to demon
strate that any exemption Of American
shipping as is proposed is in direct
conflict with the terms of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty and that President
Taft was clearly wrong when he took
the contrary view.
The British note might be summed
up as a definition Of the differences
between the two governments regard
ing the construction of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, winding up with
proposal that the issues be settled by
arbitration, If they cannot be adjusted
by mutual agreement for which a way
remains open.
Secretary Knox listened attentively
to tho reading of the note and prom
