GOVERNMENT REVENUES.
Washington, April 1S.-Secretary Foster was asked
| to-day about the changes which 1t Is said
templated in the present system Of transportation
through the territory Of the United States of goods
| shipped over Canadian roads under consular seals
The Secretary replied that there had been great deal
Of talk about making changes that would be onerous
to the Canadian roads, and would give the American
roads advantages over the Canadian lines The De-
partment Secretary Foster said, did not propose 10
do anything Of the kind. 1t did not want to iniure
the business of the Canadian roads The single prin-
clpe which the Department wanted TO have established
In the matter was the protection of the American
revenues. The Department would treat these goods
precisely though they were entered at NewYork or
any other American port, destined for inland custom
houses. The Department proposed 10 make as few
exactions and to interfere with traffic as little pos
sibe, consistent with the purpose stated.
As soon as the necessary preliminaries can be ar
ranged the Department viii issue set Of regulations
for the treatment Of bonded goods In transportation.
The system Of consular scaling practised will
probably be abolished The Secretary finds that nearly
the whole time Of United States Consus at ports
In the Dominion Of Canada is taken up In sealing cars
for transportation Of goods In transit through the United
States. Moreover, the traffic has grown to such pro-
portions that 1t Is beyond the ability OF the Depart
ment to make sure in all cases that goods are not
dropped of at points within the United States, with
resulting loss to the Government Of its legitimate
revenues from dutable goods imported. The system
Of consular sealing is therefore to be established In
It's place goods in transit through the United states
will be stopped at the nearest port the border and
examined by Treasury officers who viii place upon ths
Treasury locks and thus guarantee the Integrity
of their contents and make their complete do

calculation he discovers the rate of re.
