Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Washington.-Great Britain's formal note of protest against that section of the Panama canal act which exempts American coastwise shipping from payment of tolls for passing through the canal, a document written by Sir Edward Grey, British minister for for eign affairs, was presented to Secre- tary of State Knox by James Bryce, British ambassador.
 MT. Bryce read the note to the sec retary at the latter's home. It is an elaboration of the points of objection in the note presented to the State objections are:
 That while it was clearly in viola tion of the y-Pauncefote treaty either to remit or refund tolls on all American shipping using the canal, the same objection probably would ap- ply to the coastwise trading shipping in view of the probable impossibility of framing regulations that would not result in a preference to American shipping. In addition to supporting these points by long arguments, Sir Edward indicates very clearly that strong resistance will be offered to any attempt to exclude from the canal British ships owned by Canadian rail. roads or whose owners may be guilty of violating the sherman antitrust act He holds that this section of the act cannot apply to British ship. ping, but only to United States yes. sells.
