BRITISH REPLY ON

London Papers criticise Secre-
tary Knox's Note to For

WASHINGTON. Jan. 24-Secretary
Knox's reply to the British protest
against the exemption of American
coastwise shipping from tolls in the
Panama canal having been received
In London. it is incumbent upon the
British foreign officers to come to q
decision at once as to the course to
be pursued in the continuance of the
negotiations. They must determine
whether the effort shall be continued
to adjust the supposed differences be-
tween the two countries by further
exchanges or to accept Secretary
Knoxs offer to exchange notifications
of the Knox Bryce general arbitration
treaty as amended by the Senate and
refer to a special commission the task
of finding the actual facts as basis
for possible arbitration.
Officials here are awaiting this de-
cision with great interest because
upon it will depend the probability OF
President Taft reaching a satisfactory
settlement of the question before he
leaves office If the British govern
nent should decide to regard as salts
factory the American statement that
its apprehensions for the future
treatment OF British shipping in the
canal are groundless, and will so ex-
press itself, the incident will be closed,
at least for the time being, or until
some subsequent congress might en-
deavor to act in a way as to warrant
the charge of discrimination against
foreign shipping.
Secretary Knox. in his note, ex

him as a basis for his statement
that through Professor Johnson's in
clusion of American coastwise ship

the tolls are fixed, the British OBJ
lection that an unjust burden was
to be fastened upon British ship
ping has been completely met.

1t
reply to sir Edward Grey on the ques-
ton of Panama is found unsatisfac-
tory by those evening newspapers
which comment on it:
The Westminster Gazette, general
IL looked upon as the mouthpiece of
the government. says: The Knox
suggestion leaves the door open to
long series of chickering's which might
do much to undermine the good rela-
atiens of the two countries
The Pail Mall Gazette says: Com
ing from any other country than the
United States, the tone of Secretary
Knox's reply would be deeply resent
ed. Unless international law over
rides municipal law when treaty
rights clash with it, international
law has no existence and peaceful
intercourse between States becomes
impossible"

AS to planting and cultivating, Eng
lish walnut trees seem to require no
particular soil, but should not be set
out where 1t is low and wet. The
trees should be planted 40 to so feet
apart each way. A cultivated crop,
such as corn or potatoes. with small
fruit trees for filters, can be made to
yield an income for the brief period.

gin to bear. The pruning should be
done between fall and spring, only
such branches as would interfere with
cultivation being removed.
In planting on the lawn the ground
about the base Of the tree should be
kept spaded for three feet in circum-
ference, and after the first year some
well-rotted manure should be worked
into the soil around the tree. No cul.
tivating should be done after the first
