Eyading the Tariff Laws.

WASHINGTON, Sept. THE State
Department has received special re.
port from Consul Dockey at Leeds, on
the subject of the evasion of the United
States tariff laws by British manufac,
ture of linen threads. The present tariff
on these goods, as well as the old tariff,
is an ad yalorem tax of 40 per cent.
and Consul Dockey presents an array
of facts and figures to show that by
means of a system of large discounts,
and by substitution of consignments for
absolute sales, the manufacturers have
managed to evade this heavy ad yalorem
tax. He says that within the past SIX
years these systematic attempts at eva
sion of the United States tariff laws have
radically changed the trade with this
country in linen threads.

LONDON, Sept. 16. The idea of me-
diation to settle the dispute between
France and China is again brought up
by the visit of NJ. Waddington, the
French Minister to England, to Lord
Granville at Walmer Castle yesterday,
and it is positively asserted to-day that
the Chinese government will accept the
mediation of England. 1t seems to be
forgotten that the question of mediation
was put to the French Foreign Secre-
tary ON the eve Of the opening of hostil-
tiles in Anam, and was instantly refused
discussion. The mediation of Russia
was suggested to M. Challamel Lacour
instead of England, the relations be-
tween the British Foreign Office and the
French Ministry being at that time
rather strained, and this led to semi
official declaration that no mediation
whatever between France and China
could be accepted by the French Gov
eminent. The immense British inter-
ests, however, have obliged Lord Gran
vile to intervene with the hope of bring
ing the French Government to reason.
