national vessel near. If there were any the
force must have been insignificant. No
doubt we shall be told that negotiations are
pending, that matters are in progress, and the
hope is that all will end we'll. Matters have
been progressing long time, while our fisher
men have been starving and the country suffer

to act with promptness and with determination
in face of the bold defiant attitude Of the Brit

have TO expect.
We understand that the people of the islands
of St. John and Cape Breton and of the gut Of
Canso, who demanded help from the Impe rial
government against the Americans, now sign
petitions to readmit our citizens to the fishing
grounds. They feel that our vessels were a
source of prosperity to them which they have
lost by the restrictions they solicited.

Alas that day must close In night,
