JOHN BULL WILL NOT
OBJECT TO CANAL BILL.

Washington, Aug. 15.-It is said to
be reasonably certain that no further
protest will be made by Great Britain
on behalf of British mercantile in
terests against the Panama canal bin
if it finally takes the form reported
yesterday from the conference COM
mittee.
The British objection was laid
against discrimination against British
shipping. AS such a shipping is not
now privileged to enter into the
American coastwise trade, which alone
is to receive favored treatment in the
canal, that objection is overcome.
