Further Enquiries.

Wasurneron, August 3. In the Senate to-day, Mr. Cullouw offered resolutions instructing the committee on Inter-State commerce to ascertain and re- port whether auy United States railroads are owned or controlled by the Grand

Trunk, Canadian Pacific, or any other Canadian railway companies. Also, |whether commerce originating in the

United States is diverted from American to Canadian lines; if so to what extent and. in what manner. Also whether any discrim- ination is practiced in charges for tolls against American vessuls in the Welland and St. Lawrence Canals; also to enquire into the question of the regulation of com- merce carried on by railroad or water ways between the United States and Canada,— committee to report what legislation is necessary for the protection of the commer- cial interests of the United States and to

promote the enforcement of the inter- state Commerce Act. Cullom made a long speech to show how, by the aids of subsidies granted by the

British and Canadian Government railroads and steamships. Canadian lines are obtain- ing contro] of commerce, and especially of the transportativn,of tea, 42 per cent of the tea business being now carried on through Canada. A long debate ensued, but the re- solution was finally adopted.
