Mr. Thomas begins by saying that the ruling works a decided injury and a tre- mendous loss to the shipping and trans- portation interests of the domestic ports of the Pacific because there is a formida- ble competition by steamer from Vancou- ver, B. C., to all the points of the Orient | where steamer connection is made to all | the principal points of Australia and New Zealand. He adds: *““Th has been for years H\n.rf between the ports of San Francisco Vancouver and Victoria, and when the well known fact is taken into consideration that the Canadian lines a of steamers are granted enormous sub- sid! which enable them to carry frejght at arge protit 1 gives them by such granting of American lin just subs s an advantage over it seems but natural and that the most liberal construction of ticn and export laws should or of our own people and t submits that the decision shipments from the port ause shippers and | ot wish their pack- and {mproperly re- . After discussing the legal effect of the ruling Mr. Thomas adds “We claim that when merchandise is shipped from a forelgn country and trans- ported in bond through the United States and exported from a port of the United ates to a foreign country that in such the law never contemplated that the 'kages should be opened and examined the United States officers, thereby causing unnecessary decreasing the value of the goods by improper re- packing and forcing the shipment of goods v export route to the profit of foreign carriers and foreign ports, which will be the result if the decision of the Honorable Secretary of the Treasury shall stand un- | modified* COUNSEL NEARLY READY T0 ARGUE FRENNA'S CASE Few More Witnesses to Testify.

Since she was launched he has built and put in com- mission three more vessels only slightly smaller In tonnage to this monster of the seas. Mr. Sewall refused to enter into any discussion of politics, saying that the time for talking would not arrive for an- other month or so. He will remain in the city about a month, after which he will return directly to_his New England home. Mr. Sewall {s the father of Howard Sewall, formerly Minister to Hawall, who married Miss Ashe of this city. —_—————— Leather Goods.
