Preference Would Be
Violation of Treaty

Washington, May 5:—The Brit-
ish government has jomed the

portion of the tariff bill which
extends a preferential difference
of five per cent on goods import-
edin American bottoms. One
of the first acts of Sir Cecil
Springs-Rice,. the new British
ambassador, was to call the at-
‘tention of the state department
to this provision as in violation
of the existing. treaty of trade
and commerce between ‘America
and Great Britain.

It is understood that the - Dem-
ocratic tariff managers in the
hous¢, who were at first disposed
to permit the senate to deal with
this question, it being one involv-
ing treaty relations, which be-
long to the upper ‘house, have
recognized the force of the ob-
jections that have accumulated
from all quarters, and will them-
selves remove the objectionable
