CANADIAN GOODS IN BOND.
Regulations to he Made by the
Treasury Department..


Treasury Department..
The Treasury Department will soon issue
the regulations governing the transporta-
tion of Canadian goods for the Klon-
dixie through American territory. These
regulations will be as liberal to Canadians
as the regulations of Canada are to the
Canadian territory.
The regulations will prescribe two ways
of taking goods in bond through American
territory. One will be the payment of du-
ties on the goods at the port of entrance,
either Dyea or skaguay. Upon the pay
ment of the duties certificate will be
given. If the goods pass inspection at the
place of exit, near Lake Linderman, the
certificate can be returned to the port of en-
trance and the money will be refunded
Another way will be the furnishing of a
bond. The goods will then be accompanied
by manifest. If they are untouched when
examined at the place of entrance into
Canadian territory the bond will be can
celed. 1t is said that several surety COM
panies are now forming at convenient
places.
The treasury officials have not been off,
cially informed that there Is extensive or
formidable protest from Canadians over the
present arrangements for the transporta-
tfon of goods. The chamber of commerce
at Vancouver is agitated on the subject
AS the matter stands now, a deputy COL
lector accompanies the goods of Canadians
through American territory and charges
them So day for his services. Canadians
object to this as exorbitant and want it
stopped. A cry is going up from Van
couver to close the passes of Canadian ter
ritory to Americans.
1t is thought that the treasury regula-
tions on the subject of bonds for goods 60
ing through American territory will be as
lenient as possible. The collector at Dyea
ara anro
ton in the matter of the kind of bonds he
may take.

HIS POSITION on the Monetary 4ueS.
tiOn Outlined.
Secretary Cages attention was called to-
day to the criticisms on his Philadelphia
speech, and the suggestions that he had
changed front on the subject of interna-
uonal bimetallism. Assistant Secretary
vanderlip, who spoke for Secretary Gage,
said:
Secretary Gage is bimetallist and has
always been. If international bimetallism
could be accomplished 1t would be good
thing for this country. in the Secretary's
estimation. but he>does not think it pos
sible to secure 1t in face of the reluctance
of England to engage in it and the other
adverse conditions which surround the
movement.
For that reason the Secretary does not
think the movement for International BIZ
metallism is feasible. The Secretary's po-
sition on the subject of international BIZ
metallism is unchanged. There was moth
ing in his Philadelphia speech Inconsistent
with his previor views on the coinage
question"

pert of the pending resolution, holding that
the law never contemplated giving to the
governments cret1itor the option as to the
kind of money ohe was to be paid, The
creditor would naturally pick that dollar
which was the most valuable to him. but
if he did not know which he would receive
he would d8p hts utmost to maintain the

unassailed. IMr. .DDaniel then enumerated
the great mea who supported the resolution

author, Stanley Matthews, and Concluding
with the present President of the United
He thought, therefore. that attacks upon
the honorable motives of the supporters of
the resolution now were Ill timed and un-
warranted: He quoted from a speech de-
hvered by Mr., mckinley at Toledo, in

dent Cleveland for dishonoring one of the
precious metals. discrediting silver and en-
hancing the price of gold.

pamby nonsense upon the country, as the
senator from Connecticut PlatD would
have us believer asked Mr.. Daniel.
Mr. Daniel read a letter written by for
mer Senator, now Secretary of State, John
Sherman. in which he denounced as a
renidta tiopisf and extortioner ona who da-
mands money in liquidation of an obiiga-
tion more valuable than he gave for it.
He also quoted Oliver p. Morton as de-
claring it to be foul injustice" upon the

REPORTED APPEAL OF COREA
No Advices Received Here in Re.
gard to 1t,

The Corean minister has received no ad
vices on the report from Seoul, capital of
Corea, that the king has called on the
United States minister for protection
against possible revolution, and that Capt.
Wilde of the United States cruiser Boston
has refused to land a naval force. In the
lack Of official instructions, the minister
has not called the subject to the attention
Of the authorities Eere. Beyond this the
legation authorities will not discuss the re-
ports.
1t is felt, however, that the situation is
not of a grave character. 1t is recalled
that requests have been made heretofore
by Corea that an American naval force
land with view to maintaining order. and
at that time Corea offered to pay all the
expenses incident to this service.
The arrangement was not made. and
there proved to be no OCCASION for the ser
vice of marines. Independent of this
United States naval force was landed some
months ago, when disturbance was i'm
minent, but no clash resulted. On these
occasions the apparent desire of the CO.
rean authorities has been to have the ma
rines aid In police duty rather than to in
vite Intervention having any international
aspect
Condition in COrea.
The conditions in Corea have been the
source of apprehension here for some time,
and it is felt that If an uprising is immi-
nent it is due either to the controversy
between the two local factions or to the
contest between Russia, Japan and Eng
land to direct the internal affairs Of Co.
rea. There are two local factions.
The progressive party seeks to modernize
Corea, following the example Of Japan, and
is ready to accept outside help in bringing
this change about. The king belongs to
this element although it is in the minority.
The conservative element insists ON MAIN
tanning the old customs and resists the
undermining process from within or with
out. The situation is further complicated
by the efforts of Russia, Japan and Eng
land to direct the undermining process. 1t
has led to the belief that the three powers
were seeking territorial extersion in Corea.
which, in the case of Russia, would give
her harbors open the year around instead
of the ice-bound harbors she now pos
sesSeS.
In the absence Of all official advices, it is
felt in well-informed quarters here that
any call which may have been made for
an American naval force grows out Ct
some of the foregoing conditions.

that 1t will be speedily demonstrated so
that no one can doubt that autonomy is a
