The amount of traffic handled varies

sRlroNs DISAPPOINTED
AT ACTION OF SENATE

London, Aug. G.-British ship own
ers are indignant at the United States
Senate's action with respect to the
Panama canal. They admit that a big
trade is awaiting to be done as soon as
the canal is open, but are inclined to
think the great preferential treatment
accorded to American ships will lead
traders to adhere to the old routes
Representatives Of prominent firms
have expressed the opinion. however,
that much might happen before h
canal is opened and that protests OF
foreign powers might induce a change
in the American policy. The amend
ment permitting the registration Of for
eign built vessels as American. it is
thought, may likely give impetus to
British ~shipbuilding.
