Washington. Aug. 12.-Attorney Cen
eral McKenna and Solicitor General
Richards are making a careful study of
the questions involved in the construc-
ton of section % of the new tariff act,
and it is expected that an opinion COW
ering the subject will be sent to Secre-
tary Gage early in the coming week.
The main question at issue is whether
teas and other goods shipped from China
and Japan by vessel to Vancouver, Is.
c., and then by rail in bond TO the
United States are subject to the 10 per
cent discriminating duty imposed by sec
ton 30. 1t is stated at the treasury de-
partment that very large proportion OF
the teas and other products of China and
Japan are so shipped to the New England
and other eastern cities at a less rate
than charged by way of American lines
of railroad from San Francisco. Fast
ern exporters of these commodities there
fore are said to be opposed to a c0nstruc-
ton of the act which would impose the
additional 10 per cent duty. The Bos-
ton and Maine Railroad company Off
Gals asked to be heard on the question
pending it's final determination, and the
attorney general has decided to give
them Il hearing next Saturday morning.
Who will represent the company before
the attorney general has not yet been
determined. but it is understood that
either ex-senator Edmunds or former
Assistant Secretary Hamlin will ap.
pear in their behalf. 1t is also probable
that American transcontinental lines will
be represented at the hearing on the
other side of the question.
