Secretary Foster has decided to sus-
pend the consular seal system on cars
and adopt system of locked cars and
manifests which, it is believed, will be
better all around. The change is the re-
suit of an investigation instituted by
Secretary Window, which showed that
the government was losing money and
merchants losing goods under the seal
system. Nearly the whole time of the
United States consuls at some points in
Canada is taken up in sealing cars for
the transportation of goods in transit
through the United States. Moreover,
traffic has grown to such proportions
that it is beyond the ability of the de-
partment to make sure in all cases that
goods are not dropped at points within
the United States. Under the new sys-
tenn cars in transit will be stopped at the
nearest port on the border and examined
by treasury officers, who will place upon
the cars treasury locks.
A Washington dispatch says: It is
the understanding here that Minister
Porter will be recalled from Rome
within two or three weeks For the
present Mr.. Blaine would like to have
him remain at his post to help calm the
angry passions of the excitable Italians,
but eventually he must take a leave of
absence in order to preserve the eternal
diplomatic fitness of things. While it is
true that Baron Fava had asked for
leave of absence before the New Orleans
lynching, the record stands that he was
ordered away from this capital because
of his governments dissatisfaction with
Mr.. Blaine's course. Under such cir
cumstances our minister at Rome must
sooner or later, in accordance with di-
plomatic usage, also take leave of alb
sence, unless the Italians conclude to
come to their senses and send minister
here to take the place of the handsome
young violinist, Marquis Imperiali, who
now acts as Rudini's messenger boy in
Washington.
