TORONTO, December 1.-The Globe COM
menting on the fisheries question, says: We
in Canada have the impression that there is
very little to settle. We already have
granted very reasonable concessions, but
we can not allow American fishermen to
steal our fish. American fishermen can not
plead ignorance Of our regulations, from the
fact that their own government at the COM
mencement of the season warned them Of
the existence of these regulations and Of the
consequences that would ensue if they were
disregarded. If a reckless schooner or two
from New England chooses to infringe upon
our domain, we cannot on that account set
about tinkering old treaties or patching up
new ones.
