camille house in New York had a package of
diamonds OF the value of $1,000, sent to them
from South Africa, through the mails to the
| care of the collector of the port. The package
was seized, the contents forfeited, and the con-
signees on representation of the facts to the
Secretary of the Treasury and the payment of
the duties, had the diamonds restored to them.
The seizure was the grievance especially com

cerned directly or indirectly IN the business of

TuEGESEvA ARBITRATION AGAIN. "A long
and spirited debate took place in the British
House of Commons last night, upon motion
for an address to the Crown, asking that the
Government be instructed to dissent from the
several international rules laid down BY the
Geneva Arbitration. 1t was emphatically dis
claimed that the motion was made with any
party object. twas opposed on the grounds
that it really would be vote of censure on the
Arhitrators, who the country, through Parlla
ment, have formally thanked for their services,
aud it would look as if England was smartiDg
under having to pay the award. 1t supporters
declared that ''the rules never had held va
ter" and the best thing that could be done
was to ask the United States to withdraw them,
aud substitute Others. which, in the event OF
war, would make the new treaty lntolerabe.
II conclusion M Gladstone coucurred with
Disraeli that the United States and Great
Britain should have an early understanding as
to the rules, and Jointly submit them to other
Powers. He assured the House that the opln-
ion of the government was unchanged, and that
the matter wcu.d not be neglected. The mo-
ton was then withdrawn.

STEAM on CASALs-The official report OF
Professor D. NJ. Greene, engineer to the
Board Of Commissioners having in charge the
matter of the employment of steam 10 propell-
ing and towing vessels on the canals OF New
York, has been submitted to the Legislature.
The New York World says that the report EN-
braces the following important points, which
should not fail to receive the attention OF all
who are Interested in the cheap aud rapid
transportation Of merchandise between the sea-
board and the great West: ~ The practical
bility Of substituting steam for animal power
on the canals is demonstrated (2) an average
speed CT three miles per hour, including lock-
ages, may be attained, which would carry q
boat from Buffalo to Albany in five days in-
stead Of ten or twelve days; 81 by the substl-
tuition of steam, the tonage of the canal may
be largely increased IA saving of 50 per
cent, exclusive of tolls, may be made in the
cost of transportation by the substitution OF
steam for animal power and (5), all things
considered, the cheapest and most convenient
mode of employing steam is in boats carrying
their own machinery, and not in the use OF tow
boats.
