The Fishery Dispute.

Secretary Evarts has been accused of un-
necessary delay in the matter of the Halifax
award and the fishery treaty. The accusa-
tion is unjust; the delay has been made by
the British Government. As early as last
March the Secretary called the attention of
the British foreign Office to the Newfouud-
land outrages. No response reached Wash
ington until September, and Mr.. Evarts's
reply to that was laid before Lord Salisbury
the second week in October. Our Govern
ment has done all in its power to effect
speedy settlement of the question, and the
suspicion can but arise that the delay on the
part of the British Secretary has been inten-
tional, with the object that no settlement
shall be reached until the Halifax award, due
on the oath of this month, is paid.
The position taken by our Secretary of
State in his latest despatch will meet the cor
dial approval of our people. We cannot sub.
NIT to the doctrine that the stipuations Of
treaties entered into between England and
ourselves may be nullified by any act of
British provincial legislature. We are to pay
an exorbitant sum for the fishery privileges.
and when we pay the price set we want the
goods. England's idea seems to be to take
the money and then plead the baby act, to
grant us privileges for a pecuniary considera-
ton, and then urge that the local laws of
Newfoundland override the Treaty of Wash
ington. Our Government properly and with
spirit fesents this breach of treaty obliga-
tions.
The course Of the British Government
defeats one Of the chief objects sought when
the Washington treaty was framed, the settle,
ment for some years at least, of the dispute in
regard to the fisheries. We were condemned
to pay $5,O00,000 in discharge of old scores
and those we might run up during the time
to come covered by the fishery clause. But
now nothing has been settled, except that we
pay the money for privileges we are not to
get. This uncertainty cannot be tolerated.
Our Government, 10 the words of Mr.. Evarts,
"conceives that the fishery rights of the
United States conceded by the Treaty of
Washington are to be exercised wholly
free from the restraints and regulations of the
statutes of Newfoundland now set up as an
authority over our fishermen, and from any
other regulations of fishing now in force, or
that may hereafter be enacted by that Gov
ernment." There we take our. stand. The
money will be paid in accordance with the
terms of the award. But the question will
not be suffered to rest. In the event of
war between England and Russia it may be
discovered that other provisions of the Treaty
of Washington, or the three points of the
Geneva Conference, are nullifed by our local
laws.
