TO FAVOR AN IMMEDIATE TERMINATION OF
THE FISHERY TREATY. WITHOUT REGAtD TO
TUE $j,j0O.O00.
IGLNERAL PRESS DIsPATCH.i
WAsHINGIoN, Jan. 29.-COnGressmen LOring ana
Grape. of Massachusetts,, and Messrs. Babson. Gun
nngham. Garr and several other representatives OF
the Gloucester fishing interests being practical
fishermen and also owners of vessels engaged IN the
cod and mackerel fsheriesl visited the State Dc
par;ment to-day to urge action on the part OF the
American Government for the abrogation OF the
fishery clauses OF the Treaty of Washington.
The delegation Informed Secretary Evarts that
ever since the treaty went into operation their
business has been declining and during the last
year or two it has not only ceased to be remuner-
atiye but nas actually resulted in pecunary loss.
They attributed this decline mainly to the smaller
relative cost Of the outfits of the Canadian fisher
men, who conduct their operations II small boats
conveniently near their residences, and to the bet
ter facilities Of the COloulsts for sending
their early catches immediately to the New
England markets by transferring them to
steamers. ETC., thus obtaining tho adyan-
tage of the highest prices, while our vessels are
waiting to complete the seasons work before re-
turning homeward. The Gloucester fishermen de-
sire immediate abrogatlOn of the treaty provisions,
because their abrOgatIOn would revive the tarlt
on fish and the customs duty would practically ex-
cude the Canadian catch from the United States
market, which consumes annually about 100000
barrels.
Ii is proposed by the Massachusetts men that the
United States shall ask the consent of the British
Government for termination of the treaty earlier
than 1885, without regard to the fact that America
has paid for the supposed privileges" mp TO the
wear 1855. and, of course. without asking or ex-
pectiug the return of any portion of the money.
Secretary Evarts listened attentIyey to the dele
pati0n and although ne made 40 promises, he ind-
Gated his entire willingness to open correspondence
with the British Government with view 10 obtain
ing the assent desired.
