Canal Bill Action Waits.

New York Times 100 years ago today, July 28, 1912:
British Embassy not to Add to Its Note of Protest.
Special to The New York Times.
    WASHINGTON, July 27.— The State Department was informed to-day by the British Charge' d'Affaires, A. Mitchell Innes, that his Government would have nothing to add at present to his note of July 8, setting forth England's objections to discriminatory tolls favoring American, ships through the Panama Canal.
    As these dispatches pointed out three days ago, the formal argumentative note from Great Britain, though expected a week ago, has not arrived, and the belief now is that it will be withheld unless action by the Senate seems to call for more strenuous objections from Great Britain. Nothing is expected to happen diplomatically in the matter for at least another week, as it will certainly take that long for the Senate's opinion to crystallize into a vote.
    Chairman Brandegee, of the committee in charge of the bill expects it to resume consideration of the bill on Monday, but there are half-a-dozen speeches to be presented, and this measure will necessarily give way to appropriation bills. No accurate poll of the Senate on the question of no tolls has yet been made.
