The rath turned away in real dis
gust, and walked home, pursued by the
voice of Won Schenk, who called after
him to inquire whether he were will
ing to resign all claim to the mummy,
which was his property by right of dis
covery.

The Geneva Arbitration.

London special, speaking OF the
meeting of the Geneva Arbitration on
the Alabama claims, says the British
counter case was delivered under pro-
test, accompanied by the following note:
1.-THE undersigned is instructed by
her Majesty's Government to say that
while presenting their coun ter-ca un-
der the special reservation hereinafter
mentioned, they find it incumbent on
them to infringe on the arbitrator that
a misunderstanding has unfortunately
arisen between Great Britain and the
United States touching the nature and
extent of the claims referred to in the
Treaty of Washington. The misunder-
standing relates TO claims for indirect
losses under three heads: First, loss in
transfer of American shipping to the
British flag second, loss from enhanced
insurance; third, loss from the pro-
longation of the war. The claims for
indirect losses are not admitted by her
Maiesty's Government to be within the
scope and intentions of the arbitration.
Her Majesty's Government has been
and still is in correspondence with the
Government of the United States in
relation thereto. As that correspond
ence has not been brought to final
issue, her Majesty's Government desires
that the arbitration shall proceed with
reference to the claims for direct loss.
1t is thought proper meantime to pre-
sent the counter.case, which is strictly
confined to direct claims, in the hope
that the unfortunate misunderstanding
may be removed. Her Majesty's Gov
eminent hereby expressly and formally
notifies the arbitrator that this coun.
ter.case is presented without prejudice
to the position assumed by her MaJes-
tvs Government in the correspondence
whereto reference has been made, and
under the express reservation of all her
Msjesty's rights in the event of the diff
ference continuing to exist between the
parties. If necessary, further commu-
nication will be made to the arbitra-
tors. TENTERDEN.n

The Canadian Fishery Correspondence.

The fishery correspondence recently
laid before the Canadian Parliament
discloses that the Dominion Govern
ment notified the Imperial Government
that Canada would not assent TO any
sale of the fisheries without her consent,
and that Great Britain replied that her
Majestys Government never had any
such intention; that as the negotiations
for the treaty of Washington proceeded,
the claims of the Canadian Government
were urged, including the Fenian claims;
and also the obtaining Of commercial
advantages in return for the temporary
use of the fisheries by the Americans.
On these views not being included in
the treaty, the Canadian Government
strongly demonstrated and after the
treaty was concluded the.British Gov
eminent appealed to the Canadian Gov
eminent to cary out the treaty in the
interest of the empire and to allow
Americans 10 fish in Canadian waters.
The Canadian Government declined to
grant this latter proposition, and placed
on record their disapproval of the terms
of the treaty, as regarded the fisheries
and the Fenian claims. The British
Government rejoined, and eventually
the Canadian Government proposed that
in lieu of the Fenian claims against
Great Britain, and to meet the anxious
desire of the British Government, they
would be ready to submit the treaty
for the favorable consideration of the
Canadian Parliament, provided the
British Government would guarantee
Canadian loan of "a 100000 sterling, to
be applied to the construction of the
Great Canadian Pacific railway and the
extension of her canal system. The
British Government replied offering to
guarantee f2,500,0OO, and the Canadian
Government accepted the counter pro-
posal, in view of the vast imperial and
Canadian interests involved, and in
view of the Importance of the associ.
alton of the British Government with
the Canadian Government in the con.
struction of a Pacific railway in Canada.
