THE PANAMA CANAL BILL.

United Press Aeaooiation-By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. Haw York, July 15. The Times’ Washington correspondent states that the debate on the Panama Canal Bill may start at any time, when Mr Bllhn Root, will fight* for absolnte equality. Mnch depends on tee interpretation of the spirit of the H»y-Fanncefote Treaty with a view to determining how far it perpetuates the sense of the Olayton-Bulwer Convention Hence the fact of Ooolnel play's successor in the State Department i being on Britain’s side, assumes great significance. On the other hand opposition is active and ingenious. Meanwhlls there la growing talk of arbitration.
