Che Fishing Interests of Maine.


Hon. f. E. Babson, Cole ctor of Customs for
the port of Gloucester, Mass, arrived in this
city Saturda3 evening The purpose of his
visit Is to obtain facts aud figures in relation to
the fisheries, to be used by the commission that
is soon to assemble at Halifax to consider and
adjust certain differences that have arisen be.
tween the Dominion government and the
United States on the subject. As we under
stand the case, under the Geneva Treaty or
award, certain rights and privileges We're coded
to.this government in the matter of catching
and curing fish in Dominion or British waters,
in consideration Of which larger privileges and
powers than they had before received were
granted to the fishermen of the Dominion, and
among these the important one Of the admis-
sion of fish of all kinds, except those Of inland
lakes and rivers, free of duty. 1t is now claim
ed or asserted by those representing British
fishermen that they do not receive, under the
present arrangements advantages at all COM
mensuraie with those granted, while our fish
ermen declare the contrary to be true, and con-
fidently believe they will be able TO establish
this before the commission. Mr.. Babson will
call upon the merchants of our city represent
ing this important interest to-day, and we
doubt not will readily obtain from them such
information as will enable him to fully accom-
plsh the purposes of his visit b. fore submit
ting his report to the American members of the
commission he will visit other ports in this
state engaged in this trade, and We trust he
will be cordially received and aided in e work
which our state is largely interested in, and
which for some years has been one of its most
profitable industries
