How far n mocrat tic congress Will
go In voting u nominal subsidy IL
predetermined, hui. With only a NOM
inal concessions demanded, 1t is con-
sidered incredible that Il settlement
will not be made.
Another point on which Il conces
sion can easily be made involves mere
~ Il change in the language Of the
Panama act hat would at most SIM
ply make plain what one here
knows was the real intent of congress.
This simply requires the insertion Of
the word Exclusively" before the de
scription of toll-frce American ships
as lin the coastwise trade"
Perhaps the most Interested discus
sion of the week has hinged around
the paragraph in Sir Edwards note
which suggests that through loose
wording of one sentence in the Pan
m canal act not only American
coasting vessels are entitled to free
passage. but that American ships In
the overseas trade might demand Il
similar exemption. The discussion has.
gained intensity from the discovery
hat while the bill as it passed the
senate limited the exemption To ships
"eXclusivclN' in the coastwise trade.
the word Exclusively" was dropped in
conference.
Changes in the regulations. II can
be stated positively. have no bearing
on the matter. as the pertinent regula.
ions are all statutory and can be
changed only by congressional amend
ment. Ru, Il strict reading OF the no.
toll provision Of the Panama act does
seem to raise at least an open uues-
ton. Section 1861 OF the revised
statutes makes it plain that an Ameri-

sions. penalties and forfeitures. and
the like duties are imposed on like
officers. as are provided for vessels
licensed for carrying on the coastWise
trade"
The exception as to the payment of
fees means simply that the registered
vessel will have to pay tonnage dues of
six cents per net registered TON instead
of two cents as imposed on the enroll
ed coasting vessels. and perhaps make
a few other imn,ateria! payments.
These payments, howerc. fall far short
OF covering the s1.20 n net registered
ton that the vessel would save if. by

capped the canal tolls.
Free Tolls Aimed at Railroads.
The Panama act provides in the
toll-tixing section that no tolls shall
be levied upon vessels engaged in the
coast-wise trade of the United States"
The British position seems 20 be that
the extreme OF that clause was to en-
courage the coasting trade. and the
congressional debates support the sus.
gestion that it va. intendeS to en-
courage competition by sea With the
transcontinental railways. From this
point Of view the only requisite neces-
sary to entitle a vessel to the favors
of free passage is engaging in the
coasring trade. regardless of her other
occupations. The free passage then

period Of twenty years.
MIR. Bray is at present American

Prior to his initial. appointment in
the service Mr.. Bray was postmaster
at Grand Forks. He has always re-
tanned a strong interest in North Da-
kota and things pertaining to the
state. A number Of his old time
friends here still hear from him reg

Washington. Dec. ia weeks
study OF the British protest against the
free passage Of American coasting
ships through the Panama canal has
led. in informed circles, to Il revision
of the first impression that the only
hope for escape from a hopeless i'm
passe between the two nations lay in
a of arbitration. which. It
was known. the senate would never
permit. 1t is now believed that Sir
Edward Grey's carefully worded note
suggests to the United States modifca-
tons Of the Panama canal act that
will make 1t acceptable to his majes-
tvs government. If not exactly salts
factory. The notifications proposed
are of q nature SO slight that In the
opinion of those in a position to know.
little objection can be raised to them
i'll the United States.
The objection most fully voiced Ivy
Sir Edward Grey is that. with .Ameri-
can coasting vessels freed from, tolls.
no standards reslains by which the
toll-paying by the worlds shipping
car he made lust and cquita Bile" Less
emphatically he says that the collec-
ticn Of tolls from American ships.

subsidy. would be unsatisfactory. But
his whole argument makes it plain
that the remission Of the tolls. or their
payment by the American government
in some other way, would not be OBJ
~tectionable. if only 1t could be guar
anteed that the RENTED moneys
would not fall as an additional burden.
upon the shipping of the world.
Sir Edwards construction of the
phrase ".tust and equitable" simply
limits tolls TO the fair value of the
services rendered. 1. e.. to the interest
on the capital expended. and the cost
of the operation and maintenance Of
the canal" This stipulation. he adds.
entities his maiesty's government to
demand on behalf of British shipping
that al vessels passing through the
canal. whatever their flags or their
character. shall be taken into account
In fixing the amount of the tolls"
This, it is now believed, is far from
saying that tolls be levied on all ships
alike. 1t simply means that American
indirectly on foreign shipping. This
point, once clearly understood, means
nothing less than the tolls proclaimed
by President Taft are in Nac accord
with Sir Edwards demand. as they are
based on the estimates of Prot. Emory
johnson. who assumed that American
and foreign vessels would pay alike.
In other words. the exemption Of
American ships means, under the pres
ident's proclamation and the Panama
act. a loss of revenue to the American
treasury. II not an increased levy
on British ships.
The Subsidy Factor.
To make this feature of the procla-
nation come up to Sir Edwards re-
quirements. it simply needs that the
method by which the tolls are to be
lowed be incorporated in the statute.
The actual enactment of a subsidy of
some sort for American ships using
the canal. With an express stipulation
that the subsidy will not be- raised h,
higher levies on foreign bottoms,
would seem to satisfy III" demand.

IN BOSTON MARKETS.
Butter Is Still Coming in Quite Freely
Market Does Not Clean Up.

Boston, Aug. THE local market for
dairy products does not change much
Butter is still coming in quite freely, and
with the demand, both consumptive and
speculative, rather quiet, the market
does not clean up promptly nor we'll.
Receivers have the alternative of storing
the butter or accepting the prices Of
fered; both courses are being pursued,
with the result that buyers can do bet
ter in some stores than in others in
the matter of prices. The feeling in
the cheese market is rather easy; no
reduction has been made in prices, but
most dealers find that if they want to
make sales they have to accept less than
they ask. Fresh eggs continue in light
supply and prices are firm with stronger
tendencies.
