THE WASHINGTON TREATY.
How the Recent Agreement is Re-
garded in Gloucester.

GLOUCESTER, June 26.-No official notice has
been received by the Customs authorities of any
arrangement between our Government and Great
Britain concerning mutual fishing rights to fisher
men of the respective countries upon the coasts of
the Dominion of Canada and the United States
until Congress meets tits understood that duties
upon provincial fish will go into effect and be col
lected after July first, the agreement dealing only
with the questions of catching fish and securing
bait. While the general sentiment of our fishing
interest is that the agreement will be favorable to
GlouceSter'S interest the right to take mackerel
in shore and purchase bait being more than EQUIV
alent to the freedom of our in-shore fisheries to
Canadians, there is uneasiness lest in the negotia
tions which will follow our neighbors may again
secure the best end of the bargain. The present
concessions made in the interests of mutual GOOD
will and comfy between the two Governments, i'll
which the British Minister was first to move is
locked upon as an entering wedge for a reciproci-
ty treaty and it is thought that the British om-
nisSionerS will not agree to any form of recproci-
ty which does not include free fish, by which our
fishermen will be again placed at disadvantage
unless some offset is made. The general senii-
ment is that our interest would have been safe
under a hostile sentiment in Canada, even with
few seizures and broken voyages, which would
have aroused the attention of the country than
under the present arrangement, which will be.
cited as a valuable concession in the interest of
good fellowship between the two countries and as
entitled to weight in agreeing upon basis for

fourteen principal general appropriation
bills have passed the Senate, anl three
