day. decides that goods and produc-
tions Of foreign county, not con-
tiguOus to the United ates, which
are regularly imported in.o Canada,
and afterwards exported to the United
States are subject to the discrimina-
tion of 10 per cent, provided for in sec
ton D of the new tariff act, and also
that the method of conveyance hither
by water. rail or otherwise, is not ma
terial. The question whether goods
transported through Canada to the
United States, under consular seals,
are subject to this duty, has not yet
been determined. The case in point,
was that of 800, 900 worth of diamonds,
monds, which were delayed at one OF

International Fire Association.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Aug. r.
The twenty-fifth annual convention of
the International Association of fire
men which will be held next week
will take on additional Importance
from the fact that especial invita-
tion has been seot to the local boards
of fire underwriters throughout the
country to be represented by the dele
gates. A number of questions i'm
portaut to insurance companies have
been fled for discussion. and it is be-
lieved that the presence of representa-
tive underwriters will not only aid in
the development of new ideas concern
ing methods OF fire fighting but will
increase the cordial relations between
the tiremen and the insurance inter-
