CANAL TOLLS GO TO HAGUE
GREAT BRITAIN HAS RENEWED
PROTEST AGAINST THE
MEASURE.
United States Is Informed That Great
Britain viii Appeal Matter to
The Hague.

Washington.-Great Britain has re-
affirmed its protest against the Pan
anna canal bill. In a note filed with
the state department by A. Mitchell
Innes, charge of the British embassy,
it was stated that if satisfactory
agreement could not be reached Great
Bricain would appeal to The Hague
tribunal for arbitration.
The note submitted says Great Brit
ain will give careful consideration to
both the bill and the message Presi-
dent Taft sent to congress relating to
discrimination in favor of American
coastwise shipping in the canal. If
after due consideration it is found
that no satisfactory agreement can be
reached in the matter Great Britain
declares that it will be necessary to
appeal to arbitration.
Mr.. Innes was instructed by his
government to file the protest and he
sent it to the state department. 1t
stated merely that Great Britain still
stands in her previously explained at
titude in regard to the Panama bill.
The tone of the note makes it appear
that Great Britain believes it will be
necessary to submit the question to
arbitration.
Mr.. Innes, who has been acting as
charge of the embassy during the alb
sence of Ambassador Bryce, came to
Washington recently from the sum
mer headquarters of the British en-
bassy in Maine to remain during the
discussion in congress of the bill

clared he did not believe Great Brit
ain had case to carry before The
Hague tribunal.
Ottawa, Ont.-Speaking on the Pan
ANA canal question at dinner to Wis
iting British officers and legislators,
Sir Wilfrid Laurier said he believed
British, Canadian and American di-
plomacy would bring about an agree
ment satisfactory to all.
Pointing to the fact that for more
than 100 years difference between
Canad aand the United States had
been settled without resort to arms,
Sir Wilfrid declared that poor arbi-
tration was better than the most sue
cessful war.

ATTACKS MADE BY PRESS
publication of libelors Anti-Ameriean
Articles Brought to Attention of
State Department.

Washington Enrique Maza,
the reporter who attacked Hugh Glib
son, American charge of the legation
in Havana, was merely a tool in the
hands of Cuban plotters antagonistic
to the United States, and who would
like to get the Cuban government into
trouble with this country, was the
opinion expressed here by Senor Mar
tin-Rivero, the Cuban minister. He
was of the belief, he said, that Maza
had not attacked Mr.. Gibson of his
own volition, but that ne had been
urged on by others who hadl made
him think he had been insulted and
that he should seek revenge.
Under no circumstances, no matter
what his provocation may have been,
said the minister, was Maza justified
in the action he took. That justice
would be done in the case was the
declaration of Senor Martin Rivero.
The minister has notified his gov
ernment of the demands of the United
States that the assailant be punished.
AS soon as he had learned of the at
tack, the minister had spontaneously
sent word to Cuba he said, that the
United States had laws rendering vir-
tually immune from attack the per
sons of foreign representatives here,
and that on account of this reciproc-
ity, the full .vigor of the Cuban law
would be applied. In case a country
which doesn't protect Cuban represen,
tatives,'' said the minister, mo fur
ther rights are extended to its diplo-
mats than to any other foreigners.
He Immediately called attention, he
said, to this clause in their laws.
Havana. Cuba.-In consequence of a
vigorous protest by Hugh Gibson, the
charge d'affaifes of the American lega-
ton here, against the release on tr,v-
ial bail of Enrique Maza, the news
paper reporter who assaulted him,
Maza was arrested for the third time
by order of the audiencia court and
committed to Jail to await Indictment.
Immediately after the re-arrest of
Maza, the squad of secret service men
who had been detailed ito watch the
American legation and to attend Mr..
Gibson wherever he went, was re-
lieved from duty.
Mr.. Gibson's vigorous insistence
that his assailant be prosecuted arous-
ed a fresh storm of indignation Of the
press.

In the race for the United States
senate B. r. Tillman, the incumbent,
continued to run strongly, with the
indications that he would go on in
the first ballot. He more than dou-
bled N. B. Dial's votes and lacked but
little of gaining a similar decisive
advantage over W. j. Talbert, his
other opponent. The vote: Tillman
61,7o0, Talbert S1,176, Dial 23,563.
Tillman's majority. 6,961.
For attorney general, J. Fraser Ly-
on, the incumbent, was running we'll
in front, but lacked the necessary
majority, and it was apparent that he
would have to make a second race
with Thos. ]. Peoples of Barnwell.
Mr. Lyon was nearly $4,000 votes
ahead of Mr.. Peoples, but the voting
of the other two candidates more
than made this up. The vote stood:
Lyon o2,411, Peoples 3S,791, John R.
Earle 12,20o, B. B. Evans 10,s23.
For State treasurer, S. T. Carter
kept up his remarkable run, bringing
his vote up to 72,557, to 41,376 for his
opponent, D. W. McLaurin.
John G. Richards, Jr, seems likely
to go into Office for another term as
railroad commissioner without having
the trouble Of going into second
race. At a late hour Mr.. Richards
was leading the race by big margin,
and had enough lead, if held, to do
away with the necessity of second
race. Mr.. Richards majority over
both his opponents is 1,1e6. Later
returns, however, may cut this away.
Aside from the large vote cast, a
feature of the primary was the over
turn in many counties that went to
Blease in the last primary. Notable
among these were Orangeburg and
Charleston, especially the later. Orange
burg, which went to Blease by a
small majority in 1910, gave Jones a
majority of almost 1000.
Richland county, where the fight
ragged hot all the time, gave ma
jority to Blease, but it was far less
than that by which the county went
to the governor in the last primary.
Dorchester went for Jones by a
small majority, as did Calhoun, but
Dillon swung into the Blease column,
along with Marion. Darlington was
about the same as Marion. In Flor
ence the race was close, with Jones
finally getting the advantage
Anderson's vast majority was what
really turned the scale, on the face
Of the returns, in favor Of Blease.
Aiken, which last time went to the
governor strongly, this time gave him
comparatively small majority.
In Chester the two candidates got
an even break, the vote being ex-
actly the same.

have beaten Representative J. E. Ell

trict, having majority of about four
teen hundred. All other congressnen
are renominated.
The primary in Charleston was at
tended by much excitement and by
freouent disorder at some Of the poll
ing precincts. Most of the excitement
was due to bitter factional feeling dis
played in the race for the Office of
county sheriff, the incumbent, Capt.
E. J. Elmore Martin, winning by a
majority of 1890. Congressman G. S.
Legare, who stood for reelection
against H. Leon Larrissey, defeating
Larissey by a large majority, was
aligned with Sheriff Martin. Mayor
John P. Grace was the chief support
er of A. w. Perry, Sheriff Martin S
opponent, and the claim was freely
made during the day by the Martin
forces that the police were being
used against them at the polls.
