THE DOMINION.
be caIled.-The Fishery Ques-
ton.

MONTREAL, Oct. 27.-It is stated on good
authority that Sir John Macdonald will
bring on general election for the Dominion
this fall
All the members of the cabinet have been
summoned to proceed to Ottawa next Friday.
Lengthy meetings of the cabinet have re-
Gently been held to arrange for the cam
paign.
Hon. l.. II. Davies, ex-Premier of Prince
Edward Island and now q member of the
House of Commons, has arrived at the capi-
tai on business connected with the Dominion
government. He states that there is great
discomfort in the maritime provinces over
the inability of Sir John Macdonald to me-
gotiate a reciprocity treaty. The two main
issues he says in the maritime provinces,
next to the Dominion election will be recip-
rocity with the United States and settle
ment of the fisheries difficulty There is a
feeling among the fishermen of Nova Scotia
and Prince Edward Island that, while in
some instances officers of the government
have been over-zealous in enforcing the law,
there is great absence of vigor in these two
provinces. He further states that while the
law regarding the three mile limit is con-
stantly being broken by American fishermen,
only two or three seizures have been made
for that offence. The Dominion government
is held responsible for the failure to negoti-
ate treaty with the United States. as it
has throughout showed indifference as to
whether or not 1t was arranged.
