Of not respecting bonding seals beginning of restrictive Liegis Lution. New yobs april a a Washington special co the mail and express says these Are Stormy times for Canadian interests in Washington. The exit of the Canadian own missioners is about to be followed by a very important ruling of Secretary Foster which May be considered by the canadians As an. Other attack upon their interests. It will be promulgated in a Day or two. It will do away with the system of consular seals and the bonding privileges which the Canadian rail roads have so Long enjoyed and which american Roods have attacked1 a in american discrimination. Heretofore when goods have been imparted through Canada from foreign countries to the United states there have customs examinations on the Border. The United states Consul sealed up the of the . This carried it through to its Point of destination in the United states without Cus Tores examination but under the order which Secretary Foster u about to Issue there will be no More consular seals and no More Bond ing Gooda through Canada. Those goods hereafter undergo the customs examination at the Points where they first touch Ameri can territory. It is expected that this change will be of material advantage to american roads and particularly to the Pacific roads. The Canadian Pacific has hereto fore been Able to get a Large measure of the Pacific business by reason of the consular seals system. Aside from the advantage to american roads it is believed that the arrangement will put an end to numerous fronds which have grown no is the result of the consular sealing. Testimony which was Token before the Secre tary showed that in Many cases where cars had been loaded and sealed the seals had been taken off and goods substituted for those originally shipped. Opium Wes pub in Tho place of goods that bore Low duties. It was proven Tost the Canadian Pacific bad a com plete outfit for manufacturing these United states seals and that in put on the seals and Cook them off As it saw Fie wit bout reference to the United states consuls were supposed to do the sealing. Such an abuse cannot occur when the goods Are examined at the Boundary. While the Canad Anri May fret under it considerably they will probably be willing to accept it a less than what they ought to have expected. They still enjoy immunity from the inter state Commerce restriction and they tire still permitted to do their warehousing and ele Vator transferring on the Canadian of the Border instead of the american . The Secretary s decision in abolishing consular seals a understood to be Only one of the Steps he contemplates against the Canadian Mooon Noii still alive Bat Tutlo Hopes Are entertained of his pm Bra april the Man shot to feb by Fred Bartlett the suicide in still but very faint Hopes Are entertained Hiu recovery.
