 The formal protest of Great Britain in the matter of tolls to be levied on British and Canadian vessels taat pass through the Panama canal, has served to revive discussion of the question with an intensity that is as great as that caused at the last ses- sion of Congress when the matter was up for consideration.

Dray Load of
 Drunken Indians

The corridors of the court house already overcrowded with natives drawn there in the prosecution of liquor cases, was appreciably aug. mented by the arrest of several In- dians at an early hour this morning,
 Special Government Agents L. L. Harding and F. E. Hegler made the arrests at o'clock at a small cabin just abreast of the city dock It was found necessary to get a two horse dray in which to convey the ineb- riated people to the federal jail.
 The scene of the drunken orgie at the little cabin beggars description. For the most part the natives lay strewn in wanton abandon on the cabin floor The place was strewn with empty whiskey bottles and the walls splattered with blood Many of the natives were scratched and torn from fighting. One old man at. tackled, his own son, a mere child
 Resistance was made to arrest by some but they were all bundled into the dray and hauled up the hill.
 A gallon demijohn of whiskey was still mostly unused and taken along. From sober natives who had seen a white man enter the place early in the day the culprit who furnished the liquor was identified.
 The man was arrested late this aft ernoon and in default of bail placed in jail. He gave the name of Walter Bridson and will have a hearing to- morrow morning.
