CANADIAN COMMERCE.
How to Secure Equal Chances for Ameri-
can Roads and Vessels.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-The special
committee to investigate the allegeddi-
verting of commerce from the railroads
of the United States to those of Canada,
and the alleged discrimination of the
Canadian canals against Ameri-
can vessels, presented report
today. 1t recommends that as,
by an order in council, Canada
charges entrance and clearance fees OF
fifty cents each every time an American
vessel visits Canadian ports, and as re-
bate of eighteen cents ton is made on
United States goods passing through the
Welland canal bound to Canadian ports,
similar discrimination shall be levied in
American lake ports and on the 800"
canal against Canadian vessels.
Concerning the traffic of Canadian
roads in competition with American
roads, the committee recommend that
either such license system shall be
established as will be applicable to
Canadian railroads doing business in
the United States, or that some otherplan
not injurious to general trade and COM
merce along the boundary, be adopted,
which shall secure to American railroads
an equal chance in competition with
Canadian railroads.

Associated Press Dispatches
JEFFERsoNvILLE, Ind, May 2.-Jared
Safer left here last night to testify in
the investigation into the death of John
Clayton, at Little Rock, Arkansas. His
story is that the murderer was Thomas
Hooper, who died at Los Angeles, Cali
fornia, October 10th last. Twenty years
ago Safer and Hooper lived in California.
Hooper then told Safer that he had al
ready killed two men for assisting to
lynch his (Hooper's) father in Arkansas
some years before; that John M. Clay
ton also took part in the lynching, and
that he (Hooper) would yet kill him for
1t. Hooper sold his place in California,
saying. he was going back to Arkansas to
kill Clayton. That was twenty years
ago, and Safer never saw him again till
after Clayton was killed, when Hooper
returned to Los Angeles. He admitted
killing Clayton. Safer told the facts to
the authorities, but the story was not
credited,

CALIFORNIA CROPS.
Grain Will be Short, But Fruit of all
Kinds Superabnndant.


SAN Francisco, May 2.-The Chronicle
has reports from all the counties in the
State giving estimate of the crop pros
poets for this season. While grain has
suffered in many Of the large counties,
owing to excessive rains, the dispatches
show that the quality of fourishing
grain will be fine, and the yield of all
kinds of fruit will be enormous. Several
large wheat counties report decrease
in the acreage and the yield of wheat OF
from one-quarter to one-half. Butte
and Solano report falling off OF one
half; Los Angeles, of one-quarter, and
Sacramento of two-thirds; but against
this may be placed a large in
crease in corn in Merced, Fresno and
Tulare counties, but the acreage of the
State shows a shrinkage against last
year. Barley averages about the same
as wheat. In fruit of all kinds there
has been an enormous increase in acre
age, and the crop will be the largest ON
record, despite the fact that great deal
of fruit was injured by the rains.
Fresno leads with 10000 acres planted to
raisin grapes, and Kern, San Diego and
Butte follow with 5000 acres in vines.
Merced has 1900 acres. Los Angeles
planted 100000 of new orange trees
this season, and Tulare put in 5000
acres to all kinds of fruits. The yield
of oranges, raisins and grapes in the
State will be the largest on record.
Nearly all other fruits promise well,
with the exception of peaches and
almonds. Many counties report light
yield in apricots.

INTERNATIONAL RAILWAY.
A Route Through Central America Re-
cOnnOitered.

A Route Through Central America Re-
cOnnOitered.
Cry OF MEXICO, May 2.-The desire of
the Pan-American Congress for great
international line to connect North and
South America seems to be in a fair wav
of realization. Reconnaissance south
from Puebla, Mexico, to Tehauntepec,
thence from the Guatemalan frontier
through that republic to San Salvador,
Honduras and Nicaragua, as far as Costa
Rica, have been completed by a United
States engineer, Isham, and an engineer
who located the Maratatio and Iguar
railroad in this republic. Isham has
been absent from Mexico City three and
half months, within which time he has
travelled $500 miles. He finds the pro-
posed international line practicable. He
commenced his reconnaissance at Oaxaca
where the surveys of the Southern railway
now in the course of construction have
been made, and travelled south, and found
a feasible line from the Guatemala
frontier where concessions for railroad
from the Mexican Government had al
ready been given. The proposed inter
national road through Guatemala will
hug the Pacific Slope, cutting Guatemala
and San Jose and the Port Champerico
roads at right angles. In San Salvador
the Acajutla railroad will be crossed.
Mr. lsham says the physical difficulties
to be overcome are no more than those
OF an ordinary road in any mountainous
country. He recommends the building
of a narrow gauge line south from Oaxaca
to correspond with the narrow gauge
system in use in Mexico. In Costa
Rica the road must necessarily be taken
over the eastern slope, it offering less
difficulties to reach the isthmus and
connections with the South American
system. The company pushing the re-
connoissance is English, and has secured
concessions in several States in Central
America, through which the road is to
pass. Its operations have been kept
quiet, and it has only been learned that
engineers have been in the field in Cen
tral America, through an interview with
Isham, who describes the country to be
rich along the line of the proposed road.

THE TARIFF BILL.
Business Unsettled on Account of the
Uncertainty of Its Provisions.


WASHINGTON, May "A large number
OF inquiries have been received by the
Republican members of the ways and
means committee, respecting the dates
of the probable passage OF the Tariff bill.
The date fixed in the bill for the
beginning OF it's operations is
July 1st next, and from statements
contained in these communications, it
appears that the business of the country
is in very unsettled condition in anti
cipation of the unlooked-for changes in
the tariff. 1t is stated that the sugar
trade, in particular, is depressed and
disturbed. To these inquiries the reply
is being made that the Senate
cannot possibly pass the bill
finally before the LIST of July, which
fact in itself would necessitate change
OF the date fixed in the bill, and the
probabilities are that the changes to be
made will provide that the bill shall not
take effect before the next calendar
year, and possibly not until the 1st of
July, 1891.
