W~rongfnlly Held I'm England.
WASHINGTON, July 2S-In response to
a senate resolution requesting the secre-
tary of the treasury to furnish informa-
ton relative TO property wrongfully with.
held from the government, the secretary,
in his response, encloses several COM
munications. among them one from H.
b. Littlepage, a special agent of the de-
partment of justice, formerly in the
Confederate navy. Littlepage claims
that in 1854 a large number of vessels
were built in Great Britain for the Con-
federacy, but when the rebellion closed
these vessels We're seized by the British
and disposed of, the merchant vessels
going to merchants, and the war vessels
and rams to the British navy. In his
statement he gives the history of several
vessels now in the trade OF in the service
OF the British navy. The list of goods
belonging to the Confederate states in
cludes vessels, stores of all kinds, bar
silver, cotton, specie, ETC., a~ggregating
in value over $50, 235, 900. The item Of
money deposited to the credit of the
rebel government abroad aggregated
$4,000, 900. Another item includes rebel
iron works in Scotland, valued at $780,
600. All of this property has been
traced to responsible persons. In addi-
ton to the property OF the rebel govern
ment not accounted for abroad is Sc, 000,-
600 worth of property held in this coun-
try, an accounting for which has not
been rendered.

arrest them, a regular battle ensued.
They report that over 800 shots were ex-
changed, and that John Dobson of the
Mccoy faction, for whose arrest the gu
thorities had offered 500 reward,
was killed. A number of others are
believe ed to be wounded, but the detectives
escaped without a scratch, although their
clothing was perforated by bullets in sew
eral places. AS they were largely OUT
numbered they got out of the way as
quickly as they could, and thus ended
the battle. The authorities and citizens
of Kentucky offer rewards aggf,gating
over 81, coo each for the arrest OF the
Hatfields, who are daily in anticipation
of an attack stimulated by the hope OF
obtaining the rewards offered for their
capture. 1t is feared that the old trouble
will break out again with increased VIC
lence, as both parties are apprehensiye
of arrest and go prepared to defend
themselves whenever the occasion may
require.

Canadians Deny that American Vessels
Do Not Have a Fair Show.
OTTAWA, July 28-The special reports
to the United States congress, which
complain that the Dominion government
discriminates against American routes to
the seaboard in the American vessels
passing through the Welland canal, are
not considered here to put the case
fairly, as said by the Americans. All
American vessels going to Montreal
are allowed there q rebate on the
tolls paid by them in the We'll
land canal, the object being to encour-
age boats to the st. Lawrence route.
American vessels which, after passing
through the Welland canal, go on to the
sea by American routes, do not get any
rebates, but the minister of customs does
not think that any discrimination is
practiced. Mr.. Mackenzie says the Ca
madam bottoms are in the same position
as the American vessel owners as re-
CARDS freight landed west of Montreal.
All vessels from the west unloaded at
Montreal are allowed a rebate of IS cents
a ton upon the Welland canal dues of 20
cents-it does not matter whether the
vessels are American or Canadian-so
there is no discrimination.
