We are indebted 10 our friend Mr.. II.
Lingen, the merchant tailor, for copy
ofthe WslIiehe Post, CarlschurE's paper,
containing an important statement from
Dr.. Praetoriul, the editor. Among
Gail Hamilton's many loose statements
ugainstthe people she despiscs, because
they are not friends Of Mr.. Blaine, was
that Mr.. Schurz had received more than
$4,000 for :two years of political cam.
paigning. DR.. Praetorius takes up the
charge and offers to give $40 for every
dollar received by Mr.. schu!z over and
above $4,000, during the whole twenty.
one years Of his political activity,
from 1856 10 1877, as compensa.
tion for campaign work. And here,
continues the German editor, ~ mean

purposes, such as contributions for print.

COL. IL. CLAY CRAWFORD.
More About His Career IN This
Country,

RoNDoUr, n. Y, September s.-The
Daily freeman to-day will contain hitherto
unpublished episodes in the history Of
r. Clay Crawford previous TO leaving
this country. The information comes
from one who lived at Vineland, n. J., in
1870 and 1871. When Crawford visited
that place he had brother in.law living
there. lie flOurished in Vineland for
several weeks after leaving Maryland,
endeavoring to swinde the settlers in the
formation Of stock company. Hls de.
signs were frustrated and he fled from
the place. The Informant has no doubt
that he is Osnan I'Asha, among the evI.
dences being that Crawford's mother.in.
law told the informant that he (Crawford)
had left the country, bnt did not disclose
the locality, This evidence supplies that
interval between the time Of his leaving
the Eastern shore OF Maryland and his
departure from the country.

mission Ready TO Report
Points Not Settled by the WASH
ington Treaty.
HALIFAX, September 9.-The Fishery
Commission, It is understood, gave de-
cision yesterday previous to adjourning,
which completely dstroys the idea that
the Washington Treaty put an end to all
disputes regarding the North American
fisheries. II the report is correct, and it
seems to be well founded, the counsel for
the United States asked the Commission
to rule that the Commission don't consid.
er 1t within their province to award com.
pensation or take into consideration the
advantage to American fishermen in
British waters Of trans-shipping cargoes
or buying bait, ice and supplies. Two days
were spent over the argument OF the ques.
tion. The counsel for Great Britain took
strong ground against the proposition.
A large part Of the British case was
devoted to pointing out the advantage to
American fishermen Of being in position
to purchase bait and supplies, claim for
large compensation being founded there.
The American counsel contended that the
Washington treaty gave no such privi.
leges to their fishermen, and the present
Commission should not take them into
confederation. The idea Of the Americans
seems to be that large number Of our
people being interested in the trade with
American tishermen will prevent the Do.
minion government from interfering with
the latter il they can under the present
laws, or by introducing new laws for such
a purpose. The Commissioners gave the
unanimous decision that they were incom-
petent TO award compensation Tor tie
trans.shipment Of cargoes in British wa
ters, or for the purchase Of ice, bait and
supplies.
