May Pas. Through Boston.

Boston. July 27.-A plan was adopt ed today by consent of the executive department whereby the 4Srd Cana dian regiment of Ottawa may pass through Boston on the way to Provi- dence in August without being de- prived of their arms. The statutes of Massachusetts forbid foreign military bodies to parade in the city under arms and despatches from Montreal state that the Canadians had decided to abandon the proposed trip because of this fact.
 After consulting the attorney gen. erals department the State officials de- cided that if the Canadians should cross the city as expeditiously as pos sible instead of parading as was orig inally intended, the law would not be violated Accordingly it was stated that special trains on the elevated railway will be provided to transport the visitors between the terminal sta tions and they could by this means re- tain their arms.
