Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Wasninatoy, April 27.—Tho report upon tho Hurd bill, relutive to tho transportation of mer- chandise through Canada, was to-day reported by the Sub-Comuulttee to the full Committee on Ways und Meaus. It is rumored that this was done without even tho formality of belng pre- viously considered by the Sub-Committee, Fer- nando Wood, the Chairman of the Sub-Commit- teo, having obtained, {tis sald, tho rissent of a mujority of the Sub-Committee to thut course, Accompanylng tho report 1g-a bill which com- bines tho provisions. of tho two bills intro- duced by Mr. Hurd. <Aftor discussing tho several provisions of tho ‘Treaty of Washington, which aro applibable to tho tranaportation of goods between, tho United Statesand Canuda, Mr. Wood, in his report, says that tho bill which ho recommends affcots “only tho right to transport by land carriage goods from one purt or place in the Uulted States, through Canada, to another part or place- therein.’’-, ‘This, Mr..Wood-says,-"ia a- mere privilege which mny bo enjoyed by the shipper, of transporting by land-carringe from one point in tho United States to another through tho territory of .Can- ada goods without the puymont of duty." Aftor an argumont to prove that WITHOUT VIOLATING THE TREATY of Washington Congress muy prohibit American shippers from availing themsolvcs of the privi- lege granted by the treaty, tho report procecds to give the reasons why the privilege should bo tuken away, ns tho bill proposes, Briclly stated, theso reasons aro ns follows: . First—The order issued by the Canadian Gov- ernment in 1879, prohibiting tho transportation of American cuttlo over aud through tho terrl- tory of tho Dominton, tho report declarcs, was issued gt the stigycstion of the Imperial Gov- ernment, and in utter disregard of tho rights ot American shippers, 1t was onforced at atime when our own roads were engaged in tho daily trausportation of such cattle, and whon, indeed, they were compelled to carry thom. Great loss was sustained by tho shippers on this account, and those concerned fn tho cat- tlo interest havo complained very bitterly on that account, Sccoond—Tho Canadian railways, if thoy dosire to ongnyo in inter-State commerce, ought to subinit to the regulations which bavo been or may be Imposed upon our own ronds engaged in this trafilv. Third—Tho carrying of goods through Canada from one part of the United States to another, in sealed cars, offers numorous opportunitics for VIOLATING THE INTERNAL REVENUE lnws, ‘Tho report says: “Of those opportunt- ties smugglers ‘hive frequently ayalled thom- selves, and muny of tho worst frauds upon tho revenue aro perpetrated through sealed cara, ‘Thoro scems to beno satisfactory way of putting nnend to theso frauds, excopt through a pro- hibition of the transportation through Canada tu senled cara.” Fourth—American railroads, in which immense capital fs Invested, aro interested, It is the duty of our Government to see that no discrimina- tion is exercised aginst thom by a foreign Gov- ernment, Tho Canndinn railroads engage in competition with our roads for Amer Jean trade, and receive fn their offorts tosccure it all the ald und enoouragement thet the Government can givo thom. Tho report eritleises thotariif policy of Canada as discrimi- nating aguinst the United States. “Its present tariff, bighly protective in its oharaater, was lovolod against the producta of tho United Btutes, . . . And yot, whon it touches tho question of transportation through Canada, it provides for the freo admission of American rallroad rolling-stock to carry Amorican goods through its territory; protection to build up Canadian manufactures, and froo trado to build, up Canadian niilways, and both ut tho EXPENSE OF AMERICAN INTEMESTS, ‘Wo do not think that Canadian legislation ought to bo permitted to make discrimination against our own citizens, Tho Canadian rail- roads recolved lust year more than $10,000,000 for tho transportation of Atncrivan products.” ‘Tho report argues that noegotlutions should be opencd with a view cithor to tho cstablishinont of a full treaty of reciproolty with Canada or to soctie eaportunt moditications of tho Treaty of | aabington, Tho report discusses the tive operas ton of Bir. Hurd's two bills: nd follows: s itmay be well to consider an objection which bas beon suggested as to thelr prospective operation, it hus beon sald that thelr yaaiaye willdeprive tho Western shippers of the ad- vantaye of competition which those Cunndian roads afford, ‘Thla objection will not be ro- gurded of much wolght when we retlect that two ofthe roads of Canada which engago in this transportatiog—the Canada Southern and tho Great Weatern—ige_ controlled by one of the American trunk Unca, tho New York Central, system, The othor road, the Grand ‘Trunk,’ alfords competidion of vulue only to those in this country who live along tte lino close tu othor cust and west lines. IT SHOULD NOT DR YORGOTTEN that the Grand Trunk has always been a party to the pool arrangements the through Amorioun lines havo made, and tho competition which it affords docs not atfect the through freight rato bo a8 to make it diferent from jt snared by American roads.” ‘Tho bill agreod upon by tho Sub-Comimitico will be violently: opposed by many Western menibers, capeciatly by those from Michigan, ‘The fuliowing ls tho text of tho pioditied gongolidated bill; ‘He tt enacted by the Senateand House of Rep- reacntatives of the Untled States of America in’ Congress aascmbled, That tt shall not hereafter bo lawful to transport imported foods, wares, or morchandise In bond: or with duty patd, or any products or manufactures of the United States, from one port or placo in thy United States touny other rt or piace therolu, when any portion of such transportation ia made The Chicago Daily Tribune, through the Domtnton of Canada by Iand care Haves provided that nothing berein shall affect tl nt transportation by land enrringe which Is provided for aud permitted by. tho thirteenth article of the teeaty between the United States fed Great Britain, signed in the City of Whshe {paton May 4, Isl, and the fourth’ section of ho Ret to ‘carry into offect the provisions of the treaty aforesaid. approved March J, 1873, and the ninetecnth article of the rewulations governing the transportation of morchandlse to, from, and through the British Provinces In North Amerien, under the Inws and. the ‘Treaty of Wanhiny on, as agreed upon by the Govern-.

THERE WAS ANOTIIFI BCENB inthe Ways and Means Committee over Hurd's bits, Tho Chairman of the 8ub-Committes which has had the bills under consideration, when he made his report, wus met by the charge that the Sub-Committee bad not bud a meeting, and had not, of course, considered the bills, and that thofr report was unauthorized by that Com- inittee, the members of which knew nothing about the bills or the report. Mr. Conger par- ticularly wis incensed, and necused Mr. Wood very brondly with having exceeded his privileges ag Chairman, Mr. Dunnell and Mr, Morrison also spoke aucainst tho DIL Mr. Dunnelt suid ft would dis- erlminnte most beinously agalnst tho business interest of the Northwest. chants of Mine neapolls, | Chicagy, and roit ought, he thought, to chonse the route over which thelr trade [s ta be transported, Mr, Gartleld defended the bill on the ground that it was made necessary by the antriendly attitude by Great Uritnin toward our commerce. It was necossary to discriminate against Canada beonuee Canada had discriminated against this ntry. Mr. Morrison was one of thoso. who did not Ienow what tho bill was nbout. Ho thought it had been sprung upon the Committee without due notification. There was a goud deal of ALMOST ANGIY DISCUSSION forthe first time this session. Tho hich and Tow tartif! men uve found a question upon which they can Juln hands to-day. Messrs. Dunnell, Canger, and Murrison wero together agalnst Mossrs. Wood, Gurfleld, and Phelps. Mr. Felton, who was understood a'few days igo to be in favor of the bill, to-duy moved "its In- deflnit postponement, and It Is Itkely that, had a vote been taken on this proposition, !t would have been buried out of sizht for tho balance of the session; butthe friends of the bills begged for time, and the motion was withdrawn. Mem- bers of Congress did not seem to know of.the ox- Istenco of tho Hurd bills uutil thoy heard of tho extraordinary action of the Sub-Committes of the Ways and Means Cominittee upon It to-day. / Some membors of the Ways and Means Commit. tee itacif did not even know that tho bill had been referred to that Committee, or thit any 8ul-Committes had been appointed upon it, 18 the Sub-Committes wis mimed carly inthe morning before all tho mumbors of tho full Comtnittee were present, and curivusly enough every, member of the Sub-Committes favored tho bill, It fs not custoinary form Sub-Commit- twe_to be appolated which ig alton one side of a question, if the opinions of tha sors nro ‘known before appotntuent. Tho bill hns deen ADVANCED OVER MANY OLDEIt BILLS on tho Committee's dockets, and abore the tar- J measures, in favor of which a majority of the House his voted and about which the press of the country is clamorous., There ty a goud deul of fooling in the Ways and Means Comuilt- tee about the bill, Whilo all tho members of tho Sub-Committes favor it, the Northwestern and Now Engtand members wild unity to oppose it. Mr. Morrison, as he has learned more nbout tho scheme, denounces it In uifeet ns] stock-Job- Ding legislation, and iguists that the purposy of the bill ts merely to Westroy. compotition with tho Lake Shore & Michignn Southern Road, It now 8 i$ scurcely’ arobaite that tho bill will ever bo reported from the Committee, butif it should bo there awill be a good doal of nin talk in the House about stock-jobbii legislation, not only in connection with this bil, but with ull scandals of simitar nature that have been whispered about the corridors of tho Capital this wintor. Vhilo the Ways and Moans Committeo was considering tho Hurd bill tho House Foreign Affairs Committeo agreed to a resolution to appolnt a commission to ascertain upon which buslgn new commercial treaty enn be nezor tluted with Canada. The Comniittes concurred in the view that inasmuch na the United States: abrogated tho foriner treaty, this country and notCantda should now take the first step to- ward ucgotlating anothor, One Committee is thus pressing the polley of conciliation while nuother cons{ders tho polloy of rotatlution. . IT 18 CONSINERED EXTRAORDINARY that tho Ways and Menns Conunittee, which Is 40 pressed for thine, and which has been unublo to come to adeelsion upon so many of the im- portant questions before it,—such 18 sugar, steel rauila, paper, pulp, and sundry othor topics, — should have had time to appolnt a Bub-Com- mitieo upon those Hurd bills altnost as goon 18 thoy were referred to it, and should have been able, in so short a time, to have reported them to the Committee, One inconsistency in the argument of the report also attracted tho attention of the .opponents of the bil. It. ‘is maintained that it js yery!greatfhardship to our shippers that at any tiny the Canadian Government should have revonted the transportation of cattle through vanada, Yet tha. bill and report propose to muako that admitted hardablp perpotuil not only fis to cattic, but as to all United States producta, by forbidding tholr transportation through Can: adn by Canada, Anothor misatatemont In tho report fs thut tho Grand Trunk Rond has always been engnged in pooling with Amorican lines of road, a statement which Western shippers cer- tainly know to bo falac, Tho further statement in the report, that EXTENBLVE FNAUDS WAVE ALWAYS DEEN rrag- ICED under tho intorior bonded system, through the medium of scaled cars, is niso known to ho ine correct, Amomber of tho Ways and Means Committee, thoroughly, informed us to the sub- ject, who tlves along tho line of the Interior jondod rontes,; says that tho records of the Tronsury will show ‘that there never bas boen any extonsivo syatem of fraud under tho seated- carsystem; that, on tho contrary, instances where frauds huve been successful, ur bave even: beon attemptod, are very few and unimportant Indeod, und, if frauds upon the customs have beon or can bo sot aside ua pricticed under tho sealed-car system, thoy can just as welt bo practiced if tho’ sealed cars aro gout from tho first port of entry to tho interlor along Uni- ted States no of raliroud ony. as well ns to pass through Canada; go that tho gonoral argu- mont would bo agninst tho iinmediate trung- portation systom, as well as agutnst Canudian roads, ‘There {a n gront deal of gossip about this dill, rogaruing thoepeed. with waieh it hus secured a report, und the purposes for which it is to be used, or muy be used, outaldo of Congress. The gossip, of course, fd. wosaip of the corridors of the Capitol, and of tho hotel lobbies; but, what. over Its origin, the stories circulated freoly, and are DELIEVED BY MANY, . Ono story is that W,8.Boott, of Erio, Pa. oa vory wonlthy Democrat, well known in cannec- tion with ‘Tildon’s operations during tha Elect- oral count, bad in somo way suggested that such a bill wines to be introduced, anil It Js wlio roe poner At Boott and Vanderbilt disposod somo tne since of large holdings of Canada Southern stock, and now desire to pe that stock buck ut tower rates.

C., April 2i.—-Since Ropro-” sentatlyo Speer, of Georgian, recelved the reply of Commissioner Itauw to bla inquiry as to tho reason for employing force to collect the rov- onus in his district, a new series of attacks on United States officers have occurred. In four counties of Northtrn Georgia a: reign of terror exists, owing to. tho fact that Illicit distillers have banded themselves togethor to maitreacall, who harbor United States ollicers efthor by give {ng them food or lodging for theniselves or horses, and all who givo tho icast information. For offenses of this kind one Deputy: Collector had his store, house, and barns burned, and bis family fired on and’ driven out. One citizen bad a barn and four farm-houses burned, and when he had somo of the marauders’ arrested and taken before a Justice of the Peace tho latter ruled out tho. evidence of all his witnesses on the ground that they were not to be believed undor oath because they bad given United States officors informa- ton about illicit stills, Ono citizen was shot because he hud been subpunacd as n witness against the distillers.

FORTUNE BAY. TNE TREATY SHOULD DB ADROGATED. Spectal Dispatch to The Chteaga Tribune, Wasntnaron, D. 0., April 27.—Ropresentative Rico, of Mussachusctt?, Chairman of the Sub- Comunittos of the House Foreign Affairs Com- mittee on tho fisberics question, to-day’ made to tho full Committee an elaborate report. He recommends the adoption of a resolution by. tho Committee which, ina preamble, sets forth that the Provincial Governments havo by hostile legislution and by violence prevented Amorican. fishermen from reaping the benefits of tho treaty, and thut great losses have followed for those reagons. Tho Preatdent is called upon to take mensures to obtain indomnity for thogo fishorinen who havo suffered, and to ah- rognte the fishery sections of the Treaty of ‘Washington at the carllest practicable day. The report concludes ns follows: “As the mattor now stands we get but Ilttlo by tho treaty, and thit Httlo is taken from us by unlawful vio~ lence, sustaincd by the British Government, We gavon great deal in roturn, part of which has boen paid and {s boyond our recall; buta Portion of the consideration {a in the opening of. our markets to tho British freo of duty. That privilego thoy aro still .enjoying, to tholr great guln and our groat loss. In viow of tho uttitude assuined by tho British Govorn- ment In regard to the outrages at Fortune Bay, ic would seem. proper for uur Govordment to declare tho treaty terminated for a violation of {ta provisions by tho other contracting party, and for Congress to sustain. such action: but whatever may bo deemed the wisest course in this, it would not socm a debatable question that our Goverument should take measures to terminate Socs. 1 and 21 of tho Treaty of Wash ington at tho variicst posable moment.” - ‘Tho statement that the Vandalia and Alliance have been ordored to Canadian waters to proe teot our fishermen appears to be premature.
