CANADA.

OTTAWA, May An the House OF
Commons to-day Mr.. Sonery moved fer
the return OF the license issued to Ameri.
car fishermen during the last year. He
held that the treaty as to the three miles
limit applied to hesdlands, and not to
the banks, and that while not adopting 8
prohibitory policy, such q license should
ss imposed as would be some equiva-
lent Tor the privilege allowed Americans
to fish In Canadian waters. Several
members from the Marstime Provinces
spoke in support Of the motion, stating
that q ffmer policy should be adopted
toward the States TO meet the exactions
and restrictions imposed on the Cana
dian trade.
Mr.. Angler, from Nova Scotia, sdvo-
Gated the total exclusion Of foreign fish
ernen from the fishing grounds. he
said that in many cases, owing TO the
enerosehment Of American fishermen,
the Nova Scotisns had been driven eff
their fishing coasts. His motion was
adopted.
