Congressman Dingley's Views on
<ho EiSbeYiaS

Inc sentiment Vi NEW EllSIttllu ulel1DoIS
with respect to the recommendation in the Presi-
dents message for "the appointment of a commits
sion in which the government OF the United
States and Great Britain shall be respectively re-
presented, charged with the consideration and
settlement upon just, equitable and honorable
basis of the fishing rights of the two governments
and their respective citizens on the coasts OF the
United States and British North America" was
well expressed by Representative Dingley OF
Maine. He said:
"If the President had stopped right there, and
the proposed commission should be confined
strictly to those limits, lwOuld favor it, because
the negotiations therein defined could not end in
an agreement to admit Canadian fish free OF duty
into the United States. But the President goes
-on to say, The fishing interests being intimately
related to other general questions dependent on
contguity and intercourse, consideration thereof
in all their equities might also properly come with
in the puyview of such commission, and the full
est latitude of expression on both sides should be
permitted Now, that may be made to mean
free fish. If a resolution providing for commits
sion to the end that the Canadians may send their
fish free into markets is presented, shall OPP
pose it. In opening it shall be able to use these
words of the President, a little further down i'll
the message: 1T is evident that tariff regulation
by treaty diminishes that independent control
over its own revenues which is essential for the
safety and welfare of any government That
would make an excellent basis for very good
amendment which might be offered to free fish

Nav YoRk, December l7.--Pfeparations
for the reception Of Mr.. Parnell although
up 10 the present conducted in private, are
represented to be on grander scale than
any former Irish movement in this city.
The cooperation If snch Irish Americans
as Eugene Kelley, Jno L. Cummins, Mayor
Grace, Joseph L. O'Donoghue, Myies NJ.
OBrien, James F. Coleman, Morgan j.
O Brien, John Devoy, and others well known
in thinking business and professional circles
have been secured in the formation of
citizens committee, together with dele.
gates from the National League and yari-
Gus other Irish societies, and everything
but the minor details have been arranged.
Nearly all the city officials Of Irish birth
and MANY prominent Americans have
promised 10 support the movement 1t is
expected that Gov. Hill will preside ct the
reception. Suitable arrangements will be
made to make the plan Of honor to dele.
gates from eltner Clue5. 1ne COulnitteo
will make it a point of honor. to
keep it clear of even suspicion Of Ameri-
csr politics. Prominent Irishmen here
say that unless the Chicago dissentions are
healed the convention which is 10 meet in
that city in Jsnua'y will be failure, In
evidence of this an urgent appeal from
prominent New York Irishmen has been
cabled 10 Mr.. Psrntll asking him
not to jeopardize his posi-
ton by coming to this country
at all. Mr.. Parnell has replied through one
Of his Lieutensnts that he is giving the
matter his most careful consideration. A
member of Parliament, who is in Mr. Par
nelrs confidence, has written to a friend in
this city stating that unless the deplorAble
Chicago ausrrels and the attempted ostra-
cism Of leading Irish citizens is stopped,
the Irish leader will not come to America
or give the convention any countenance.
It is predicted that the parliamentary fund,
now being collected By the committee
here, will reach 100000 in short time.

THE STRIKE WILL CONTINUE.

River Coal Miners Decide to Stand Out
for the Three Cent Kate.
MoSoxaAHELL, Pa, December lS.-At
the river coal miners convention, this
afternoon, it was unanimously decided to
continue the strike for the three cent rate
Resolutions we're adopted calling on the
labor organizations of the United States for
aid to carry on the struggle, and request
ing the Eanawhs region miners to
come out for higher rate. The cenyen'
ticn was q representative gathering, dele
gates being present from every pit IN the
three lower pools. The fourth pool, no"
ever, had only seven delegates, and re-
ports from there were Of discoursgipS
nature. The resolutions created eonsid'
ersbls enthusiasm. The grestest interest
was manifested in the meeting TO-DAY by
the residents of the Menopgshels valley,
and the action taken was disappointing, as
II was hoped the miners would declare the
strike at an end. Some operators fear the
continuance OF the strike will result IN
more sroubls and perhaps blood'shed.
