THE PANAMA CANAL.
WHAT BRITAIN WOULD DO. By Cable —Press Association—Copyright Washington, March 17. In the House of Representatives, Mr. Kahn warned the House, during the consideration of Mr. Sims' Bill, that Britain would not yield if she found herself in a similar position to that confronting the United States. The greatest of the world's republic had become, in one year of Democratic rule, a pariah among nations. No people on earth were willing to sell their birthright for a mess of such unpalatable pottage. Sir K. Grey was entirely mistaken when he stated that the system of rebates granted to Canadian shippers in violation of the Washington treaty had been abandoned, owing to the United States' protest. If they granted the present demands, Britain's next demand would be the abandonment of the fortifications and provisions at the canal.
