A Halifax special gives the full text Of
the award Of the fishery commission Kel.
logg's dissent is as follows: The United States
commissioner is Of the opinion that the ad-
vantages accruing to Great Britain under the
treaty of Washington are greater than the
advantages conferred upon the United States
by said treaty, and he cannot, therefore, con-
cur in the conclusion announced by his COL
leagues, and the American commissioner
deems it his duty Ito Estate further that it is
questionable whether it is competent for the
board to make an award under the treaty, ex-
cept with the unanimous consent of its men,
bers.: Signed, E: H. Kellogg. Judge Foster
agent of the United States government, SAID:
have no instruction from the government Of
the United States as to the course to be pur-
sued in the contingency Of such a result;as is
just announced, but if / were to accept in
silence paper signed by two commissioners,
it might be claimed hereafter, rs the agent of
the United States, have acquiesced in treat
ing it as valid award. Against such an in
ference it seems to me my duty to guard. I
therefore make this statement which desire
to have placed on record.

Earthquakes IN California.

The Silver Mountain (Cal.) Chroni-
Gle of Dec. Is says: About Z O'Clock
on Monday evening last our citizens
experienced, within period of thirty
minutes, 6 succession of earthquakes
seven in number. They were pre-
ceded by a rumbling noise, and ap-
parently came from the south or south
east. The first shock was quite heavy
but the third one about fifteen minutes
after the first, was the heaviest ever
experienced here Our buildings la
bored like a ship at sea, and people
felt inclined to get out of doors. Near
ly every shock was perceptibly felt by
everybody in town. Soon after the
earth's ague was over the sky became
overcast, and not star shone forth
the remainder of the night. 1t is said
that slight shock was felt at three
o'clock Tuesday morning. 1t was
supposed in town that the heaviest
shock was sufficient to throw down
the mammoth brick chimney of the
Exchequer Mill, but we have heard of
no damage anywhere. After Inyo's
experience of earthquakes, most of our
people wore more subdued express
sion of countenance than usual, the
succession of shocks and their severi-
ity admonishing them that perhaps
the worst had not come.

The Puzzle of It.

The Burlington Hawkeye thus puts
it: GA man named Hendricks, who
lives at or near Indiana, was the other
day reading great many Democratic
journals, and ascertalned that the feel.
ing was unanimous that the election
should, by some, any, or all means,
be thrown into Congress. That the
election of Mr.. Tilden by the House
might be easily and surely effected.
Whereupon the man sat down and
sent a telegram to another man named
Hewitt, in New York, and asked him
# this was the plan. And the man
telegraphed back that it was. And
when the man in Indiana got the dis
patch he steamed it and opened and
read it, and he wrote another
and he wrote in it, What can
| see in this for Hendricks?' and sent
it back. And then the man showed
it to a man named Sam, and they
laughed, and said something or took
something, it dosen't exactly appear
which.
