Foreign Relations.

New YORK, April q. 1t is stated Con-
gresham Rice will report to the House For
eign committee recommending the adoption
of a resolution that the provincial govern
ments have by hostile legislation and by vio-
lence prevented American fishermen from
reaping the benefits of the treaty of Washing
ton. and that great loss has followed. For
these reasons the President is called upon to
take measures to obtain indemnity for those
fishermen who have suffered, and to abrogate
the fishery section of the treaty Of Washing
ton at the earliest possible day.
The Secretary of the Navy knows Of no
orders to send gun boats to Canadian waters.
and has published no statement to that effect.
This is likely to cause embarrassment. Evarts
says he has not requested the assistance OF
Salisbury on the Fortune Bay affair will prob
ably be sent to Congress to-day.

POLITICAL.
Ohio Convention.

New YORK, April %. A Columbus spec
ial says tine fight between the Shermanites
and Blaineites has become 50 bitter that while
the rank and file are shouting their defiance
the shrewder leaders are beginning 10 hedge
Congressman McCauley, who left Washing
ton several days ago TO serve a. chairman Of
the convention, has become very non-com-
initial. As between Blaine and Sherman he
thinks Sherman Will have the convention by
five majority. The Blaine men for some rea-
son have become more or less weakened.
Since reaching here it has been decided that
| If there is no chance for Shermans nomina-
tion, most of the delegates are to vote for
Blaine.
CoLuMBrs, April -. The Blaine delegates
held caucus tonight to consider what should
be their action in the convention, and adopted
the following resolution: THAT under no
circumstances will the friends of Blaine yield
to dictation from any quarter rs 10 the action
of district delegates 10 the Chicago conren-
tion."
The Sherman men admit Blaine will have
about 200 of the go delegates in the conven-
ton and congressional districts ont of 20.
The Blaine men claim about $50 delegates
and 6 congressional districts. Some few of
the Sherman delegates are anxious to have
an attempt made to pledge the entire Ohio
not approve of this plan. Their plan is to
adopt q resolution instructing delegates
at large and requesting district delegates to
support Secretary Sherman at Chicago.
Democratic Conventions.
HARRIsBUR re, Penn, April %. The city is
jammed with delegates to the convention to-
morrow. The Wallace party declare that
the Randall delegation can under no circum-
stances be admitted. Randall is quite sure of
securing the delegation, if not for Tilden, at
least a delegation that Wallace cannot con-
troll
The fight in the Philadelphia districts has
so overshadowed everything else, that little
or no thought mas been given to the platform
or even candidates. Both Wallace and Ran
dali are here. There is no doubt the delega-
tion to Cincinnati will go uninstructed. and
the only question likely to be raised will be
whether it shall vote unit not.
HARTFORD, Conn, April %. large num-
Der of delegates TO the democratic State con-
vention tomorrow, are already in the city.
There will be some strife over the delega-
ton to Cincinnati between those who desire
ev-Gov. English for president, and the
friends of Tilden. 1t is believed tonight
that majority of the delegation selected will
be able, if the unit rule is adopted. to give
the vote of the State as Tiden and his friends
shall direct.
Court Decision.
CINCINNATI, O., April 27. The probate
court of Hamilton county, has granted per
mission to the Western Union Telegraph Co.
to put up poles and wires during the session
Of the democratic National convention. No
further interference is anticipated.
