"ANGLOMANIACS."

AMERICAN SENATOR WRATHFUL. BILL TO 'ABROGATE TREATIES.' By Telegraph—Prejs Association—Oopyrlcht Washington, April 21. Senator Chamberlain, a Democratic representative from Oregon, lins introduced a Bill in the Senate asking for tho abrogation'of the Hay-Pauncefote and Clay-ton-Bulwer Treaties. If Britain intended to protest step by step against United States legislation, then, asserted Mr. Chamberlain, .the only courso open to the United States was to annul the Panama Canal legislation. The interests protesting were really the Canadian railroads. "If," continued Mr. Chamberlain, "Anglomaniacs are continually to plead the British cause against the United States it is time they were given something to think about." "THE EASIEST WAT OUT." (Roc. April 22, 11 p.m.) . Washington, April 22. Mr, O'Gorman, chairman of the InterOceanic Canals Committee, endorsed Mr. Chamberlain's proposals. Mr. O'Gorman declared that there was a great possibility of the Senate adopting tho proposal as the! easiest way out of tho difficulty created by the British protest.

BRITISH AMBASSADOR'S NOTE. On February 28 last tho British Ambassador in Washington addressed a Note to the United States Secretary of State on the subiect of tho Panama Canal Act. The British Ambassador in this Note did not discuss tho merits of the rival interpretations of the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty, but merely insisted that the British Government considered that tho passing of tho Panama Tolls Act afforded ground of complaint, for the infraction of a right which, they held, was accorded to -British subjects by the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty. "The terms of the proclamation issued by the President Using the Canal tolls and the particular method which your Note sets forth as having been adopted Iff him in liis discretion 011 a given occasion for determining 011 which basis they should bo fixed (ran the British Note) do not appear to his Majesty's Government to affect the general issue as to the meaning of the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty which they have raised. In their view fhe Act of Congress, when it declared that 110 tolls should be levied 011 ships engaged in the coasting trade of .the United States, and when, in further directing the President to fix those tolls within certain limits, it distinguished between tho of citizens .of tho United Stales and other vessels, was in itself, and apart from aii.v action whicli may bo taken under it, inconsistent with Iho provisions of tho Hay-l'auncefoto Treaty for ilie rental froatment of tho vessels uf nil nation®. The exemption .referred io appears to his Mnjesfy's Government to conflict with the express words of RIIIO 1, Article 3, of the HayPauncefote Treaty, and tho Act gavo tho President no power to modify or discontinue the exemption. In their opinion the mere conferring by Congress of a power to fix lower tolls on United States ships than on British ships amounts to a denial of tho right of British shipping to equality of treatment, and is thercforo inconsistent with the 1 Treaty irrespective of the particular way in which such power lias been so far actually exercised.

"In stating thus briefly their view of the compatibility of tlio Act of Congress with their Treaty rights, his Majesty's Government hold that the difference which exists between the two Governments is clearly: one which falls within the meaning of Article 1 of the Arbitration Treaty of 1905."
