CHICAGO, Oct. 81. = A Washington |
special says the statement is made that
a new Mixed Commission is about TO as
semble at Halifax, to arrange the final
settlement OF the Canadian fishery ques-
ton. The Joint High Commission when
in session made an effort to adjust the
difficulties between Canada and the
United States, and failing, agreed to the
appointment of O new Commission, one
member to be appointed by Grent
B-i.";n, oue by tho Uoiteu States ana
one by the two countries. They could
not agree, and it Was determined to leave
the nomination OF the third Commits
sioner to the Diplomatic representative
Of Austria at London. The privileges
contcnded for by the American fisher
men were the right of taking. curing
and drying fish in the waters of the
Canadian dominion witbou. being re-
strained to any particular distance from
shore, with tho permission to land TO
| dry their fish, making purchases,
etc. The provisions of the r. ci-
pTocity treaty induced Canada to pass
very stringent laws against American
fishermen calculated to drive them from
their usual fishing grounds and many
vessels were seized and brought into
Canada ports as prizes in 1870, notwith-
standing the Canadians enjoy the same
privileges on American water as Ameri-
cans do. The American members of the
Joint High Commission suggested that
the United States might be willing to pay
a million dollars for the privilege of fish
ing forever in Canadian waters, but the
British members deemed the sun entire
ly inadequate. The Americans replied
they did not regard the privilege as valu-
able but that the United States wanted
it because it was desirable to remove all
causes of irritation between the two
countries. The Commissioners who met
at Halifax are Sir A. T. Gait on the part
OF Great Britain and 1t. Governor Cliff
ford, of Mass, for the United States
} The third Commissioner has not vet been
named. @ ~ #
