81. Louis, May l6.-Frank Nc.
Ginnis, weigh-master of the Missouri
Pacific railroad, was arrested late this
afternoon, charged with defrauding
the railroad company by system Of
false weights. 1t is said if a
car weighed 10000 pounds, he would
report It 10000 and divide the differ
ence with the shippers. He had a
partner named James White, who
looked up business, and It is asserted
quite a number of shippers are in
volved in the frapd. White
was also arrested, and confessed
enough to reveal the whole scheme.
he said one of the largest lumber firms
here had saved over $4,000 in freight
curing the past nine months by
getting short weights from McGinnis.
The railroad company claims to have
lost very large sum of
money by the fraud. Nc
Glnnis was connected with the
defunct Hibernia Savings bank OF this
city, and was indicted for embezzle-
ment In connection with the failure.

torney Fred Cooke to-day furnished
the following explanation regarding
the land fraud prosecutions here:
about the time the present
court began its march term,
claims were sent to me
TO file suits upon in behalf of the state,
under the reports of the land fraud
board. 1 went at my own expense to
Austin and asked of the attorney. gem
that the money be returned on the
purchases and that the notes outstapd-
ing for the balance of the purchase
money be given to me in order that /
might tender them back. took the
position that the state could not cancel
the contracts and thereby secure the
land until the money paid had been
returned and the notes rendered back
10 the purchasers. The authorities
named refused TO give me the notes or
TO authorize me to tender them back
with the purchase money, and i re-
turned home. The grand jury was
then convened, and l have had no
time to give to anybody. The amount
of work 1 have had to do, and
will have done, will attest my asser-
ton that have been busy. The state
wanted me outside of this to recover
the land, retain the purchase money,
and also to still retain the notes. That

The Treaty of Washington.
THE EFFECT OF IT'S TERMINATION On MAINE


The treaty of Washington allows fishermen
Of the United States to take fish of every kind
except she-tish, on the sea-coasts and shores.
and in the bays, harbors and creeks of the
provinces of Quebec. Nova Scotia, and New
Brunswick, the colony of Prince Edwards
Island, and of several islands adjacent, and
Newfoundland, without being restricted to any
distance from The shore.
The treaty also provides that fish oil and fish
of all kinds, except hsh of the inland lakes,
and of the rivers falling into them. and except
fish preserved in oil, being the produce Of the
fisheries of the Dominion of Canada, or of
Prince Edwards Island, or Newfoundland,
shall be admitted into each country respective
ly, free of duty.
ON the 4th day of July, 1855. the treaty of
Washington will terminate. Our fishermen
will after that date have no right and will not
be allowed to take fish in the bays. harbors and
creeks named in the treaty. and all kinds of
fish caught in foreign waters, unless caught by
American fishermen in vessels of the United
States. will be subject to duty
The treaty has been terminated by the United
States. and as it has been of great benefit to the
Dominion of Canada by opening our markets
to the products of its fisheries, that country
VIII not be pleased at its termination All the
privileges granted to our fishermen under the
treaty will Of course be promptly terminated
with the treaty.
The fishing grounds in this vicinity. both for
herring and line fishing are in the waters of
the Dominion of Canada If our fishermen
are excluded from these grounds the termna-
ton of the treaty will be serious injury to
them. Our sardne factories are almost wholly
supplied with fish from Dominion waters, and
If the present duty on fresh fish prevails after
July 4ih the duty will amount to about Fix
dollars per hogshead.
We have only stated the condition of things
when the treaty terminates next July. All fish
caught in American vessels. whether fresh or
cured. and wherever caught, VIII be free Of
dutyt but the question is. VIII our vessels be
allowed to catch fish in Dominion waters?
This subject is worthy Of the serious consd-
GRAFTON of our citizens and if any action to pre-
vent serious injury 10 the fishing business
here by the termination of the treaty is needed
