MINISTER WELSH.

LONDON, Aug. 19.-The Times says Hon.
John Welsh, United States minister to England.
who leaves London to-day, will be generally
regretted, but tits satisfactory to feel that his
retirement is not in any way due to any diff
Guilty arising here or in America. The only
topic of controversy which has arisen during
Welch's mission is the claim Of the United
fisheries. MIR. Welsh has brought one phase Of
the difficulty to a critical point by last week
depesiting q demand for $103 900 damage for
the Fortune bay outrage.
This is trivial, though it is satisfactory to OBJ
serve the better tone in which such controver-
sies are treated by both countries. The point,
is o technical one and may be discussed with
out heat on either side, as can also the larger
question Of the policy involved in the proposal
to abrogate existing arrangements as to the
fisheries. Though these negotiations excite
no strong feeling here or in America, they must
necessarily be carried out by diplomatists Of the
highest rank. The government vt Washington
will also doubtless appreciate the Importance
ut selecting representative who may be able
to state the American view relative to bi-met-
alism with clearness and force, and carry con-
yiction. If possible, to our now incredulous
economists.
THE FISHERIES QUESTION.
In special review Of the fisheries questions
the 1snaes says the desirability of having this
long standing dispute between England and
America settled is as great now as in 1871. The
entente between them has been preceptibly
strengthened since the treaty Of Washington,
and it is only to be regretted the treaty did
not settle the fisheries question efectually
as 1T did the San Juan boundary and the
Alabama claim. We owe it to our American
colonies that the question Of the money value
IN respect to inshore fisheries should not be
lightly reopened, and, indeed, according to the
precedent cd yui1I ursfH,
their parliament to say whether renewal of the
lease on any terms is to be granted. But there
il no reason to believe an international con-
vention on the subject would meet with se-
rious objections either on the part of the i'm
perial or colonial governments, provided the
question was dealt with in its entirety, and not
merely revision of the recent arbitration at
Halifax attempted.
