THE FISHERIES TROUBLES.
Sir JOHN A. Macdonald Throws the blame

Sir JOHN A. Macdonald Throws the blame
Entirely ON This Country.
DETROIT, Mich, Dee 17.-Sir John A.
Macdonald, the Canadi III Premier, In an
swer to the questions: What will be the
outcome OF the fisheries dispute? Is there
prospec; of its adjustment" said:
"There is. or should be, no dispute. The
treaty OF ISIS is just, explicit and sufficient
1t simply fOrbids American vessels from
fishing within the three mile limit and from
passing that limit or landing except for GER
tain specified purposes, Of which the
buying Of bait is not one. There
Is no room for discussions as
headand question. so called-tliat is. shall
the line defining the three-mile limit follow
the sinuosities Of the bays and iniets. or be-
drawn from headland to- head and, SO as to
prevent fishing by American vessels in pa
TALLY landlecked waters? We hold the
latter view. as did Daniel Webster. This
position is, i'm fact. maintained by the
American seabOard States;
rs there any prospect of the negotiation
of a more liberal extraditiOn treaty?'
"Iier Majesty's Government would make
no treaty affecting Canada without consult
ing us, and would, am sure, make any
reasonable treaty of the kind tina, we de-
sired, providing the assent of the other con-
tracing party could be obtained. Canada
is favorable to the making Of an exiradi-
ton treaty in the broadcast terms. providing
for TIE surrender of any crimina; Of what
sOrver degree, save only those guilty Of Of
lenses so petty as to make the use of tho
machinery of extradtiOn absurd. 1t
seems to lie that SO long rs the courts
of the country are so administered as to
justify the confidence that every accused
person will receive fair and just treatment
there can be no excuse for shielding AM
man from surrender after proper and for
nal demand. The obstruction to such
treaty comes not from Ottawa or England,
but from Washington. To my mind it is
clear that the treaty would long since have
been an accomplished fact but for the SUBJ
tie influence on your side of the perniciOus
class which insists thu the man who kills
or destroys by dynamite is not criminal,
hut a political offender. Were your Presi-
dent elected once i'm ten instead Of once in
four years we should have such a treaty."
