PANAMA CANAL.
BRITAIN'S CASE. By Cable—Press Association—Copy right. Received 12, 5.5 p.m. Washington, December 12. Some quarters regard the British case as weakened by fineness in making a distinction between acknowledging America's right to financially assist vessels using the Canal and leaving other nations to do the same, and the vague assertion that other forms of subsidising are discriminatory. The Tribune, which usually reflects the official view, says that Britain, in admitting the right to subsidise, has retreated from her former contention that exemption from tolls is an infraction of the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty. t The New-York Evening Post says that the only straight and manly course is to repeal the dubious "and offensive clause and thus escape a domestic blunder. Otherwise arbitration is the only course.
