THE FORTUNE BAY OUTRAGE
The American Demand for Damages Re.
fused

fused.
LONDON, April 23.-Negotiations between
the United States and Great Britain relating
to the Fortune Bay IN. F. attacks on Ameri-
can fishermen ended few days ago in the re-
fusal Of the British Government to recognize
the justice of the American claims. Lord Sails
bury replies to the demand of the United
States for 100000 damages by positive refus-
al to pay or to recognize the Justice of the
claims. He takes the ground that the United
States fishermen in drawing their seines from
the shore were transgresslng the privileges
granted them under the treaty, which Lord
Salisbury holds does not include in the term
"shore fishing" the right to land for the pur-
pose of drawing seines from shore. He also
holds that in fishing with seines the American
fishermen were violating local laws which
were in existence when the treaty was con-
cluded, and which, therefore, marked the
conditions subject to which the Americans re-
ceived their rights and privileges under the
treaty. He admits the local act regulating the
fisheries, which was passed subsequently to the
treaty, would affect the treaty rights of the
United States, but insists that the United
States accepted the fishery rights subject to all
local acts and regulations in force at the time.
Lord Salisbury's answer containing this refus-
al was forwarded to the United States Govern
ment some days ago.

The West Point Inquiry,

WEST POINT, April 23.-In the Whitaker
case to-day man named Squire Van Buren,
went on the witness stand He is from Fish
kill Landing. He said on April 18th man
named John butcher and he had conversa-
ton at Duchess junction. when butcher told
him, referring to Whitaker, that the d-n
black cuss would have a leave before long.
He said he had been to West Point to see his
son and had conversation with Cadet Burnett
Witness asked butcher what sort of a fellow
Burnett was and he replied: "He's id
bad egg," and that Burnett told him if Whit
taker didn't leave shortly a job would be put
up on him and he would have to leave. Wit
ness said butcher said Burnett stated that he
was going to put the id black cuss out of the
way. Witness did not say anything to any,
one about this, but came to the Point to tell
Mr.. Townsend of it or Greener, because he
had seen their name in the paper. He did not
know that he would be allowed to approach
the court, and didn't know that any reward
was offered.
John butcher, was put on the witness stand
and denied Van Rurens story in a rumbling,
half-incoherent manner, swearing that he was
full of beer when he was talking with Van
Buren, and was talking wildly. He said he
never saw Burnett nor ever heard of either
him or Whitaker. He appeared nervous and
half-frightened.
Pain, the expert, thought the handwriting
of the anonymous letter to Whitaker was dis
guised.

T he Virginia Republican Convention.
STANTON, Va, April 23.-After heated dis
cussion at the night session motion to recon-
NIT the resolutions was lost. The convention
adjourned till ten o'clock today.
This forenoon the convention was wrangling
on the question whether to nominate delegates
to Chicago before deciding on postponing the
electoral nominations
The Republican convention reached test
vote and the result is victory for the straight
out Republicans. The vote was upon the res
olution that the convention elect full cleo
toral ticket. The first section that no elector
shall b. placed upon the ticket who is not
fully pledged to the support of the Republican
nominations made at Chicago, was adopted
unanimously. Over the last section there was
bitter contest. After the passage of the res
olution the convention elected as delegates at
large on the straight ticket Gen. w. G. Wick
ham and Rev. j. NJ. Dawson. The delegates
are now (midnight) comforting preparatory to
nominating delegates to Chicago and district
The Republican convention passed resoiu-
tons condemning the outrage on Cadet Whit
taker, and calling on the administration to
protect colored cadets. The election of dele
gates to Chicago was the occasion Of much
wrangling and fierce debate, The Grant men
rallied and secured more strength on the dele
cation than they hoped for yesterday. Four
teen colored delegates were chosen. Pledger
(coloreu) was put at the head of the State GEN.
Iral COH1fniUteS, aNO tIldb cOInmlGUeo was ELL
powered to nominate electors at large. AS to
the delegation the Grant men claim twelve,
but the general opinion is that eight are for
for Blaine, eight for Sherman and six for
Grant. The anti-Grant men are confident that
they have gained decided victory. Resolu-
ton that delegates go nnpledged was passed.
