The statement is made that a mixed COM
mission is about to assemble at Halifax to
arrange the fnsl settlement OF the Canadian
fisheries question Tie Joint High Commits
sion when In session In Washington made an
effort To adjust the difficulties between
Canada and the United States, and failing
agreed to the appointment of a commission
OF three-one member to be appointed by
Great Britain, one by the United States, and
one by the two countries jointly. In case
the two countries could not agree it was
determined TO leave the nomination of the
third commissioner TO the diplomatic repre-
sentative OF Austria at London. The priyi-
Ieges contended for by the American fisher
men are the right Of taking, curing and dry
ing fish in the waters Of the Canadian Do
Ininion, without being restricted to any par
ticular distance from shore, with permission
toland TO dry their nets, make purchases, &C.
The abrogation OF the reciprocity treaty of
1866 induced Canada pass very severe laws
against American fishermen calculated to
drive them from their usual fishing grounds;
and many vessels were seized and brought
into Canadian ports as prizes in 1870, not
wfthstanding the fact that Canadians enjoy
the same privileges in American waters as
Americans themselves. The American MEM
bers of the Joint High Commission suggested
that the United States might be willing to
pay one million dollars for the privilege of
fishing forever i'm Canadian waters, but the
British members deemed this sum entirely
inadequate. The American members re-
piled that they did not regard the privilege
as valuable, but that the United States
wanted it because 1t was desirable to remove
all causes OF irritation between the two
countries The commissioners to meet at
Halifax are Sir A. T. Gait on the part of
Great Britain, and Lieut.. Gov. Clifford, of
Massachusetts, on the part of the United
States. The third commissioner has not yet
been named.

Cleveland contributes another wonderful
piece OF mechanism to keep company with
the Kelley motor and the Schroeder air
ship. 1t is called Flexible Power Trans
mittor," and consists of a steam engine with
attachments SO arranged that the power
generated by IL can be transmitted an extra
ordinary distance. For instance, the engine
is placed In the basement, and connected
with IL is single pulley leading to the first
story. In this latter room, which is forty
feet square, some wonderful feats are per-
formed. Holes are bored through timbers
or drilled through granite In a few seconds:
blacksmiths sharpen shoe corks without re-
moving the shoe-in fact, there is no end to
the application of the power, which is readily
carried from one point to another within a
radius OF six hundred feet. OF course the
discoverer claims nothing new in the way of
a motor, but does assert that he has found
an invaluable method of applying power SO
That work can be done In one tenth of the
usual time and with the expenditure of only
one fourth the usual labor.

Reference was made yesterday to a carrier
pigeon flying match between Baltimore and
Philadelphia Birds Of the same species
were put to practical use ia Baltimore yes
terday In conveying the news from the PIN
leo race course TO the city, distance OF five
miles. The average time made by the birds
was about nine minutes and a half They
were very young, having been bred last
spring, and had no training whatever A
considerable interest has recently sprung I'D
relative to the use of pigeons in carrying
messages, and 1t is quite possible their en-
Iloyment in that capacity may become as
common here as in some parts of Europe
The owner OF these little feet.winged mes
sengers have an advantage over the tele-
graph, inasmuch as the sending of a message
from distant points to their home costs them
nothing but the trouble OF taking several of
The birds along with them as travelling COM

New York city is disquieted to find by the
returns that there has been a heavy diver
sion OF the grain trade from that city to Bal
tmore, Philadelphia and Boston during the
nine months OF the present year. These
cities show gain OF 1000 900 OF bushels this
year In comparison with last, against loss
10 New York OF over 19, OoO, 900. Otherwise
stated, the other seaports named held their
own on decreased crop movement of nearly
100000 and not only maintained their
trade OF the previous year. but increased il
100000 bushels, while New York fell oil
over 100000 bushels. The New Workers
are trying TO account for this diversion of
trade. Some attribute it TO the fierce cutting
OF rates in the recent railroad war, and some
TO the failure of the railroad companies to
properly accommodate shippers OF grain; but
after all may Ii not be a natural and normal
diversion of trade heretofore concentrated in
New York TO other points having shorter and
cheaper interior lines, and better terminal
facilities for ocean shipment?

BY reference to an article on .coal comb;-
nations" in todays STAR, il will be seen
that six great companies, which have a yir-
tual monopoly OF the Pennsylvania coal
trade, are determined TO carry out their pro-
gramme of increased prices monthly To do
SO they will have to adopt the same heartless
policy which they did last year-stop the
production-whereby 10000 men will be de-
Prlved OF work, entailing great suffering
upon them and their families. The only
nope for relief is falling out among the
companies, like that which defeated their
purpose year ago. II really looks as if the
charge often made, that the coal companies
encourage strikes In order TO lessen the pro-
duction, may have some truth in IL.

Many leading newspapers are calling at
tention editorially TO the subject of political
economy, arguing that all our discussion,
worriment, and difficulties about contrac-
ton and initiation come from a neglect of
the study OF that science, and consequent
general ignorance Of It's commoaest princi-
pies by our people. Grantin. the premises
OF these learned pundits, We do not admit
these cor lusions; in fact IL is safe to say
that If al the writers aud speakers on the
currency question had studied political
economy, the war between the hard money
and rag paper men would be better than ii
now Is. Scientific knowledge does not pre-
vent discussion between the Darwinites and
anti DarW mites but Tath er foments it, and
so N other brances of science
