THE CANADIAN CAR QUESTION,

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Secretary Win
dom and Assistant Secretary Tichenor to-
day gave hearing to persons interested
in the question of the dutiable character
of Canadian built cars used in the trans
portation of merchandise between Canada
and United States points. There were
present Gen. o. Spalding. of St. Johns,
Benjamin F'lagle, of Suspension Bridge,
B. B. Bell, of Detroit. Henry Russell, of
Michigan, and Mr.. Ball of Detroit. These
gentlemen represented American roads
and American interests, and each spoke in
opposition to the proposed imposition of
duty on the cars in question. They
represented that these cars had been
admitted free of duty for the past twenty
years, and that any change in the
practice would result in great damage to
the domestic interests and the loss by the
eXaction of duty on these cars would
amount to many thousand dollars.
In January last Secretary Fairchiid af-
firmed the decision of the collector of Gus
toms, assessing duty at the rate of 80 per
cent valorem on several Canadian built
cars imported for use in transporting mer-
chandise between Chicago and New York.
This action was, however suspended the
next day, and the case is now pending be-
fore the department.
The representatives of the northwestern
railroads asked that the order of Mr.. Fair
child be rescinded and that the old prac-
tice be continued.
In answer to an inquiry by Assistant
Secretary Tichenor, General Spalding ad-
mitted that there was no specific law
authorizing the free entry of foreign built
cars, but that the practice had been sane
toned by the treasury department for
nearly quarter of century. He sug-
gested that the question be left to congress
for settlement.
There was no one present to advocate
the other side of the proposition, although
it is understood the collector at Detroit
takes that view of the case

BRUTAL KEEPERS.
An Awful State of Affairs Revealed at the
Chicago Inourables' Home.

CHICAGO, May 9-The taking of deposit
tions in the suit brought against the man
agement of the Home for Incurables was
begun today under an order of the court.
The dispositions of a number of inmates
of the institution were taken. They were
generally of a tenor to sustain allegations
in complaints filed in court a couple of
days ago by certain ladies who averred
they were unable to right the wrongs being
done any other way than by an appeal to
law. The unfortunates were very 10th
to testify, number of them declaring
they would be made to suffer for it. Their
stories were pitiful ones and told of ne
glect and harsh and cruel treatment from
the matron and the attendants. Two of
the victims testified that on the morning
before the night before James
Bottom died they heard between
Mrs. Barlow, the matron, and an attend
ant named TaXford, a conversation rela-
tive to a proposition made by Taxford to
tie Bottoms hands. Mrs. Barlow agreed
to the proposition, witness said, and the
next morning Bottom was found dead in
bed with his hands tied and his face and
eyes blackened from the attendants
blows.
Others testified that paralytic was
forced to walk without shoes or stockings
through the snow from one building to
another; that patient suffering from
chronic dyspepsia was not allowed to have
the food prescribed by a physician and
nearly starved to DEATH that another pa
tient suffering from spinal afflictlon was
forced to set in stiff, straight backed
chair, causing him Intense suffering and
generally that patients were treated with
abuse and cruelty.

Mr.. Thompson, Roosevelt and Mr.. Lyman,
for we take it that he is to remain, it will
be, to ali practical intents and purposes.
the citadel of reform. 1t is only lair
to Mr.. Harrison to infer that the spirit
which prompts him to these excellent Sc
lections will move him to support the COM
mission in its work.
The World says: 1.-The addition of Mr.
Theodore Roosevelt to the civil service
commission means that the sacred coal
upon the altar will be gently famed and
kept alive, but the name of Hugh >.
Thompson, of South Carolina has an
ominous sound. He is Mr.. Cleveland's old
friend"
The Tribune says: "The selection of Mr.
Roosevelt for one of these places
needs no words of approval from the
Tribune to emphasize its fitness.
1t Is admirable. in every way.
By character experience in public life
and his belief in the principles that under
lie real civil service reform, Mr.. RoOse-
welt is well qualified TO discharge salts
factorily the duties of this office. II the
served as an assistant secretary Of the
treasury during the greater part OF the
Cleveland administration, IL must be re-
membered that President Harrison was
bound TO appoint one Democrat, and that
his selection Of the man picked out by his
predecessor for a civil service commission
