demand that these agencies should be
placed upon the Missouri river, where they
will be accessible by cheap and prompt
freight transportation service. All the in
terests of the Union Pacific railroad, the
squaw men upon the agencies aad the ira,
den who sell goods to the Indians demand
that these agencies be located far in the in
terror Of The Sioux reservation, where ex-
tensive wagon frsightage from the railroad
will be necessary and where they will be
isolated from outside competition in trade.
1t is for he government to choose between
these two interests. If it decides in favor
of one it will exhibit a desire for genuine
reform Of past evils. If it decides in favor
of the other We may be ssti- fed that COY
still reigns. The agencies we're
brought to the river last fall after a hard
in which the adverse elements men,
toned were pit.ed against the true interests
Of the service. In this fight Gen. Ham,
mond took a strong position in favor of the
Missouri river and he still maintains that
He is one of the parties upon
whom devolves the duty of selecting the new
agency location.

seems to imply that unanimity vas ~requisit,
In the award Of the latter In order to render
it binding. The British authorities cited
by Mr.. Blaine in his speech 60 to prove tina,
only . unanimous decision BY arbitrators il
binding without u previous stipulation thai
q majority shall decide. The treaty seems
to haye been drawn with reference to this
doctrine, and if this be the law Of the sub
ject our government is at perfect liberty to
reject the Halifax award.
Another striking contrast is apparent on
q careful examination of the treaty. It is
expressly stipulated, in the strongest forms
Of language, that the Geneva award and the
award Of the Ems or of Germany shall be
final; but there is no such stipulation re-
specting the Halifax award. As to the
Geneva award high contracting
parties hereby engage to consider the decis-
ion of the commissioners as absolutely final
and conclusive" Then as to the award of
the German Emperor 90 The award Of His
Majesty, the Emperor of Germany, shall be
considered as absolutely final and conclusive,
and full effect shall be given to such award
withou, any objection, evasion or delay
whatsoever" 1t is truly remarkable that
the treaty has no language resembling this
in connection with the Halifax commission.
we suppose the reason OF SO Striking q
difference to have been that the negotiators
on both sides thought it doubtful whether
any compensation for the fisheries would be
awarded. Our VI government put itself
on record in the treaty as denying that any
compensation was due, and the British nego-
tiators seem to have made a merely per-
functory concession to Canadian feeling.
The long delay Of six years in getting the
Halifax commission at work shows how
little importance either side attached to its
work. The very wording Of that part of the
treaty which provided for an exchange of
in the fishing business proves
the negotiators hardly thought of COM
pensation as possible. The period OF time
embraced in the stipulation is indefinite, and
yet the compensation, if any, was to be a
gross sum-not SO much a year during the
continuance OF the privilege. The time was
to be ten years and an indefinite period
thereafter, with a privilege on each side Of
terminating the arrangement after the e1pi-
ration of ten Years by giving two years no.
,ice. There could be no mathematical OF
equitable relation between a fixed lump sum
and so elastic a period, which might extend
to twelve years or nigh; extend to fifty. An
e1aminati IN Of The treaty SHOWS that the
British nego'iators had no real expectation
of a substantial award.

TIE KNIGHT ENGAGEMEsT.- Cheap
Price, a Fdilure.-The Geo. s. knight and
Worrell Sisters comb nation have come
and gone, so to speak. The entertain
ments given were "0lto" and KIP van
Wrinkle" at areduction in prices Of % per
cent from the regular admission, and DO
per cent at the matinee. Both plays
we're well rendered, although Mr.. Knight
does not appear with the same effect in
"Trip Van Wrinkle" as in soto" and his
support is really not calculated for "Trip"
although the star acquits himself with
credit. The engagement throughout was
losing, one to Manager Hamilton, not.
withstanding fair houses attended 1t, but
at the reduced price Of 25 per cent there
was not a larger audience than really at
tended at the old prices, and in a house
Of 500 people the loss from the
old prices would be Sl25. This ex-
pertinent was tried by Manager Hamil-
ton to meet the wishes Of the people, who
have long demanded the move, and as they
have failed TO respond, II is doubtful II
cheap prices will be established in Wheel
ing. Losing money at cheap prices is
not exactly what a manager expects, and
unless entertainments are better patron
lied Il can be taken as an ultimate con.
clusion that theatrical managers will
prefer small houses, with the same amount
Of money, to large ones. 1.-THE people de,
sire cheap amusements they should
patronize them when offered, else the cry
should not be raised in their favor and
the management lose money when they
are produced.

above the Crescent Mill, and allowed his
sled to carry him on TO the ice In the

lett him struggling in the water, near the
centre OF the stream. His companions
we're unable to render him any assistance;
and ran to boat house near by after
help. Mr.. Patrick Donovan went TO the
rescue, and with no little difficulty sue
ceeded in getting the boy out OF the water.
When taken out he was thought 10 be
dead, and did not recover Consciousness
for some time after being taken to the
boat house. He was in the water about
ten minutes, and certainly had very
narrow escape from drowning.
