Transportation In Forcign Vessels.

The Treasury department has been in
formed that firm Of Toronto, Canada, pro-
pose to run line of Canadian STEAMERS this
season between Chicago aud Montreal, calling
at Cleveland and Detroit. The department
was asked If it would be permissible for the
vessels Of this line to carry passengers from
Cleveland TO Detroit and Chicago, or from
the last named to the first named ports.
Until last year it was held that transportation
of passengers by foreign vessels between port
and port Of this country made the vessel vir-
tually liable to a tax of $1.30 per ton, chiefly
under section 4371 Of the Revised Statutos
The attorney general has since, however,
given an opinion that there is no bar
to such transportation in tho statute in
question. The Canadian firm above referred
to have been notified of these facts, and has
also been informed that the Treasury depart
ment looks with no favor on transportation
of passengers between our own ports in
Canadian bottoms, especially as it Is known
that the laws Of Canada do not extend a
similar privilege to vessels Of tho United
States. Tho firm has been further informed
that, though the Treasury department must
concede that there is no legal force in the
statute upon which it has hitherto relied to
prevent such transportation of passengers
in foreign bottoms, 1t would not hesitate to
apply in prevention or restriction of il any
provision Of our statutes that might be found
legally sufficient for that purpose.

To tho Boat Clubs.

There is a rising indication that the
remarks of TIE REPUBLICAN relative to
the action of the regatta committee in fixing
the date Of this years regatta at the third
of October will result in either reconsider
alton or the arrangement of an independent
affair. to be managed by the Columbia club,
Immediately after the Newark meeting
The president of the Columbia club in q
communication this morning, expresses him
self to that effect with very grateful clear
ness 1t may be assumed that Mr.. Coon
speaks for his club and in that view the
club is to be commended for its pubic
spirit and its willingness to invite COM
petition from outside organizations Tbs
circumstances under which the principal
trophy--the ls'ar cup--wAs originally offered
would justify its being withheld in any race
rowed after the first of September. The
medals, which are all to be offered by Wash
ington gentlemen, were agreed to upon an
und rstanding that the regatta would occur
during the summer months. The narrow
policy that would restrict the event to one
of merely local interest and keep out the
clubs that win participate in all important
meetings Of the year, is in such danger Of de-
feating itself that the committee will in all
likelihood find itsoif for:ed Gnder pressure
Of public feeling to change the date. THO
freedom and good nature with which the
Columbia club expresses willingness
to move in that direction increases this prob.
ability. 1t is to be hoped the clubs will lay
aside the petty feelings that have descended
from former and less liberal days, and act to-
gether in this matter in such a manner as
will convey to tho generous public of Wash
ington some acknowledgment Of favors be-
slowed.
