total inisapprehension of the real situation.

hitherto recognized. to exclude the Japanese sub

for the claims now made. Nothing that Japan

the ability Of an impartial arbitrator to reach
a conclusive decision. This. Mr.. Hosh adds, is
only the expression Of his personal opinion, but
he feels certain that ii will be sustained by the

To THE 10 FER CENT DISCRIMINATION.
Washington. Sept. 21.-Attorney- General Nc.
Kenna rendered his opinion to-day in the matter
Of Section 22 OF the new Tariff law. He holds.
in effect. that goods coming directly into the
United States from foreign countries through
Canadian ports, and foreign goods shipped from
countries other than British possessions in Brit
ish vessels, are not subject to the discriminating
duty of 10 per cent
Two questions were asked of The Attorney
General, the first OF which was, in effect.
whether the discriminating duty OF 10 per cent
provided for in Section % should he assessed
against an invoice Of tea from China which had
arrived at Vancouver in British vessels, and had
been shipped thence through Canada to Chicago.
The second question was whether the discrimin-
atng duty should he assessed against cargo or
manganese ore from Chill which recently arrived
in a British ship at Philadelphia. Both these
questions the Attorney General answers In the
negative.
The friends Of the Western railroads, who have
been watching the matter closely, were grea'S
