WASHINGTON.
THE FISHERY DISPUTE.

HE FISHERY DISPUTE.
THE DIFFERENCES WITH ENGLAND BY NO MPAgs
SETTLED YET-wHAT Mr.. EvARTs HAS IN VIEW.
lBr TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUsEl
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-There are indications
which lead pretty strongly to the belief that the
questions raised by the extraordinary award made
by the Halifax Fishery Commission last year are
not by any means so near final adjustment as the
public bias generally believed.
1t is probable that if the only question involved
was one Of amount, the five and a half mill
ions would be paid over to the British
Government and the matter be allowed to
pass out of sight. This. however, is not
the case and it is probable that unless the British
Government recedes from the position 1t has as
sumed IN justifying the mobbing and driving away
Of American fishermen from the coast of Newfound-
land year ago, the payment may delayed beyond
the cath of next month, the date fixed by the Treaty
Of Washington, and the whole fisheries question be
again opened for negotiation between the two gov
eTnmcnts.
The Secretary of State has under consideration
The advisability of making public the dispatch
which he Forwarded to the British Government
through the hands of Minister Welsh everal weeks
ago supplementary to that concerning the pay
mcnt of tho Halifax award, and 20 winch reply
has yet been received. IL is understood that the
Secretary takes the position that the acts in ques
tiOn Were ~ direct violation Of the terms OF the
treaty of Washington, and that he will not be
warranted in paving the excessive award of the
Halifax Commission until some guarantee - gwen
that the privileges paid Tor are not to he taken
from n, by the operation OF such local laws ~ the
Brush Provinces NAV see it 10 make.
