WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The Interstate-com-
merce Commission today rendered an opiricn
in the case of the Boston Chamber of Commerce
against the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern
Railroad Company. the New York Central s.
Hudson River Railway Company and tine Bos-
ton 6 Albany Railroad Company These roads
form a through line and make through rates
from Chicago and other Western points to Bos-
ton. and are charged by complainants with max
ing higher rates on merchandise from the West
intended for local consumption at Boston
than are charged similar shipments over the
line Of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern
and the New York Central & Hudson River
roads to New York city. and higher rates than
the export rates through Boston to foreign
countries and points on the coast of Maine
east Of Portland. which are al equal with the
New York rates, and also higher than the west
bound rates from Boston. which are also the
same as the New York rates. The commission
holds that tho difference between the Boston
local rates and the New York rates has not been
shown, in view of all the circumstances of the
tr af6c to be unjust or unreasonable, and the
complaint is dismissed.

sion, to-day. in the case of VIM. H. Heard VS..

a Bitter Dose for Canada.

TORONTO, Ont, Feb. 16.-The Mail. comment
ing on the fisheries treaty, says: 1T is evident
that the Washington governments believes that
it has done a good stroke of business. It would
appear that the Canadian contention respecting
the headland or bay question has been given
up. In return for the concession of
commercial privileges and of the use
of her harbors and railroads to American
fishermen, Canada has obtained no sort OF
equivalent. There is not word in the now
treaty about reciprocal trade even about
free fish, 1t is obvious that serious blow has
been struck the welfare of the maritime
provinces. As matter of fact it was soreor-
dained that the Dominion should suffer. Mr..
Chamberlain told US in SO many words
that he had come to America
to terminate the fishery dispute some
how. and the English journals frankly stated
that England could not afford to quarrel with
her best foreign customer for the sake of our
fish. 1t has been the fate of Canada from the
beginning to suffer for imperial interests, but
IL this instance the cup presented to our lips
appears to be an unusually bitter one"

information as to its provisions. Secretary Bay
ard tonight said to an Associated Press report
er that for many years the great contention
among American fishermen had been for fair
and just construction of the treaty Of 1878, and
that the present tire atty had been framed by the
American negotiators with view to the needs
and necessities of fishermen. and
he believed that if the treaty is ratified
that end will have bsen accomplished
From trustworthy source it is learned that to
our fishermen are secured all the commercial
privileges for which they have bean contending,
with the exception of the right to purchase bait
in Canadian waters, which IS expressly with

Bayard stated that published reports purporting
