1t is generally believed that Trochu i
the man to give order to chaotic France
if it be at all possible. We present +
the reader short sketch of the General
life, from the December number of th'
Physiological Journal:
General Trochu, the President o
France under the new Provisional Gov
ernment, was born about the year 1918
and educated at the Military School o
St. Cyr and at the Staff School. HI
commenced his military career by serv
ing in Algeria, where for some years HI
held a position on Marshal Bugeaud's
staff. At the time of the Crimean e1pe
dition in 1854 he served as an aide-de
camp to Marshal St. Arnaud. Shortly
after the death of the latter he was pro
moted to the rank of General. and com
manded brigade until the close of the
Russian war.
During the war with Italy in 1859 he
served with much distinction as general
of division, taking part in the final ac,
ton at Solferino. Subsequent to the
Italian campaign he was appointed a
member of the Consulting Staff Commit
tee in the department of the Ministry Of
War, and at the close of 1866 was spe-
tally appointed to consider and report
upon certain plans having for their OBJ
ject reorganization of the French army.
In 1867 we find him making some
claims to authorship by the anonymous
publication of book entitled "The French
Army in 1867" which attracted no lit
tie attention, and passed through ten
editions in the course of six months. In
it the General criticised severely the
change introduced by the method adopt
ed for reorganization and pointed out
some of the consequences which would
result, especially the tendency to render
the soldiery separate and professional
caste, quite severed in interest and senti-
ment from their civilian countrymen.-
And this book, when its author became
known, did not serve ~ strengthen him
in the esteem Of the Imperial Govern,
ment.
When the war with Prussia was opened
by Napoleon.s foolish RECONNAISSANCE" at
Saarbrucken, General Trochu had no
command assigned to him; but it is said
that he was to have led the land forces
which were to compose the Baltic expe-
dition' but which were recalled from
Cherbourg and Brest to defend Paris and
Metz In the latter part of August he
was appointed by the Provisional Gov
ernmcnt Of the new republic to the very
important post of Governor of Paris, and
Commander. in Chief of the forces gather
ed together for the defence of that be,
leagured city.

THE FISHERY QUESTION.

The course pursued by the Canadian
authorities to ward the fishermen of the
United States during the past season has
not been marked by friendly feeling
BY the first article of the convention Of
1918, between Great Britain and the
United States. it was agreed that tha
inhabitants of United States should have
forever. in common with their subjects,
the right of taking fish in certain wa
ters therein defined. In the waters not
included in the limits named in the con-
vention, within three miles of parts of
the British coast, it has been the Gus
ION for many years to give to intruding
fishermen of the United States a reason,
able warning of their violation of the
technical rights of Great Britain. The
imperial government is understood to
have delegated the whole as share of
its jurisdiction or control of these inshore
fishing grounds to the colonial authority
known as the Dominion of Canada, an!
this same independent but irresponsible
agent has exercised it's delegated powers
in an unfriendly way. Vessels have
been seized. without notice or warning,

been clothed with limited power to
aid in redressing such wrongs. That
power was found to be withdrawn in view
as it was said, of the favorable situation
in which Cuba then was. which, however,
did not lead to revocation or suspen-
sion of the extraordinary and arbitrary
functions exercised by the executive pow
er in Cuba. and we were obliged to make
our complaints at Madrid In the nego-
tiations thus opened and still pending, in
the United States only claimed that for
the future the rights secured to their
citizens by treaty should be respected by
Cuba. and that as to the past joint tri.
buual should be established in the Uni
ted States with full jurisdiction over all
such claims. Before such an impartial
tribunal each claimant would be requir-
ed to prove his case On the other hand
Spain would be at liberty to travese every
N ational fact, and thus complete equity
would be done. A case which at one
time threatened seriously to affect the re-
lations between the United States and
Spain has already been disposed of in
this way.

A large number of railroad men gathered

valuable gold watch and chain, a minute
