ANOTHER BLUNDER.

1t is surprising despatch from Halifax
thatthe United States Government has been
fned $500, 900 by the Fishery Commis-
sion in session there This sum has been a.
warded TO Great Britain.
In the message of Dec. 5, 1870, Presi-
dent Grant called the attention of Congress
to certain unfriendly proceedings of the
Canadian authorities. Under the conven
ton 1SlS,' American fishermen had enjoyed
the right of fishing in British waters, sub
ect to the restriction that they were not
to take fish within three miles of the coast.
Up to the time Of the organization of the
Dominion of Canada, the usage had been
when an American fisherman was found
violating this restriction, to give him rea-
sonable warning and time to stand out to
sea. But the Dominion authorities, the
President said, had exercised their newly
acquired jurisdiction over the in-shore
fishing grounds in harsh and unfriendly
wav. American vessels had been seized
without warning carried into Canadian
ports and condemned. A vexatious right
Of search on suspicion had beeu asserted
as also the right to seize any American
fishing vessel found in Canadian port
twenty four hours after notice to leave had
been served Congress was advised to en-
power the Executive to adopt retaliatory
measures Instead of doing so, high joint |
commission was created, it being distinct
ly understood that decision to be binding
should be unanimous.
The arbitrators A. 7. Gait for Cam
ada, Judge Kellogg for the United States,
md the Belgian Minister at Washington
NJ. Delfosse, as President-have now given
heir decision, and it is not unanimous. r

PROTECTING A FLEET AT NIGHT.

From tho London Times Naval Intelligence.l
We have already alluded to the importance OF Light
as a means OF preventing the approach OF torpedo
craft toward a snip in tho night ana described m
adaptation OF what Ia known the Holmes distress
signal, IN the form OF a shot, for illuminating pur-
poses The subject seems already to have attracted
tho attention OF humorous nventors One Of the most
simple and ingenious contrivanccs for the purpose Of
investing fleet with OF light through which
enemy could pass without being observed has been
devised by d. Ferdinand Sias, OF Vienna, whose
pcriments with lifebuoys At Portsmouth have been
ported in these Columns. NJ Silas inextinguishablo
lighting shcll Is similar TO common shell, be
made TO III any gun, and can, accordingly, DO pro.
jected to any distance. Tho proJectile consists OF
three parts, within the other. WITHIN the
shell proper Is lining OF wet sponge, and
within this Is glass bottle which fls tho whole
ty the bottom OF the she'll unscrcwng admit OF It's
entrance This bottle Is filled wh various charges Of
phosphdo, none OF which, however Is to be less than
ten pounds small channel Is bored through tho
sharp point oil tho shell IN order 10 allow the air to mix
freely with the wet sponge and there couple OF
apertures In the head which plugged with wooden
Shoppers covered with leather. Through the movable
bottom OF the shce steel striker IS inserted which Is
fitted with spring and communicates with tho glass
bottle within When tho light shell Is fired this
what happens The spring striker Is driven forward
by tho explosion ike gas check and so breaks the
bottle; the watcr contained thc Jacket OF sponges
ton through the broken glass and
the phosphate; ph0sphurcttod hydrogen Ia Immediately
which the Shoppers forced out and two streams Of
Illuminating matter are poured upon tho sea The
light with great briliancy for considerable time
and Is perfectly Neutrality-suspicious.
