for breach of contract, and wages were
claimed for the boy during the entire

The Fishery Troubles.


THE REPORT OF COMMANDER CHESTER, WHO
VISITED THE FISHING GROUNDS.
The report OF Commander C. NJ. Chester of
the Galena, who was directed to GO to the scene
OF the fishery troubles and report exactly how
American fishermen were being treated by
Canadian war vessels, has been received at the
Navy department. He states that he arrived
ct Hawkesbury August 10th, where he learned
that the people greatly regretted the present
state or affairs, us they are deprived OF the
trade with the fishing vessels, which was for
merry the main support OF their merchants.
Alter the fishing vessels had made their first
catch they would return TO the home ports, ,refit
and replenish their supplies. Now the mer-
chants lose the trade, and the fishermen must
return TO the United States to the great loss OF
all concerned. Commander Chester found fish,
ing vessels around West Cape, and he says that
the american sch0OnerS were readily dtSttn-
guished by their size, dne models and we'll

splendid specimens of American seaMen. The

miles on shore. The three-mile Limit does not
eeem TO be question Of importance at present
70 the fishermen, as the fish are usually found
further of shore, although there are occasions
when they school within the limit, and the
temptation to follow them becomes great The
great Inconvenience experienced by our fishing
fleet, Commander Chester says, Is being pre-.
vented from seeking . harbOr for landing
tne sick, shipping fish or procuring supplies.
Even when getting wood and water they are
occasionally subjected to annoyances. The
endured by the fis hermen with great good
humor They seem TO anticipate speedy re-
ment.

The Library Site.

The Library Site.
THE QUESTIONS ARISING IN ADJUSTING THE
TITLES TO PROPERTY.
The payments due to the property-owners on
Capitol Hill on the site where the new library
building is to be erected are being made as
rapidly as the examination of the titles is com.
pleted. In cases where there is a defect in the
title the money is placed in the custody of the
court, where 1t will be retained until the titles
are corrected and the ownership determined
owners are required to sign paper binding
themselves TO surrender the possession of the
property on the 1st OF the month following the
date when the payments are made. AS, for
instance, those paid in August agree to sur
render possession on the LIST Of September but
in case the government Is not ready to take
possession the owners or tenants will be allowed
TO occupy the property. although at any time
they may be required to give up their houses.
The government wishes to be able TO obtain
possession OF the property whenever it may be
convenient, and for this reason the owners are
required to sign an agreement before receiving
their money. AquestiOn has been raised as 10
whether, in the case OF tenants, the usual legal
notice to vacate will have to be served, but 1t Is
stated at the Interior department that when
not avail themselves OF the usual laws, aud they
will be obliged 10 leave when the owners are
notified that the government desires possession.
The library commission propose TO use the
house OF Mr.. c. p. Lincoln, at the corner of East
Capitol and I'd streets, for Office purposes, and
as soon as sufficient extent OF the property is
acquired by the government the work OF pre-
pairing the ground for the new building will be
begun. AS is often the case with property that
has been in the possession of one family for a
long time the titles to much of this property
will need legal action in order to bring them
up to the present day. 1t is very common
thing in families for the heirs to make no divi-
sion OF the property except by agreement among
themselves, and as the years go by the number
of heirs increase, and their united action is
necessary in order to make a legal transfer of
the property. In a few instances property in
that locality has been In the possession of one
family Tor eighty and ninety years, and yet no
we'll as other causes, make the examination Of
titles and their final settlement q rather COM
plicated process.

MYERS GIVES BAIL.

the Charge OF Perjury.
Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
COLUMBUS, OHIO, August 27.-Allen o.
Myers, managing editor Of the Cincinnati En-

morning and gave bond In the sum OF 800 to
appear for trial on Monday next on the charge
of perjury, as charged by w. s. Cappellar.
Myers and his attorney, Miles, disagree as TO
the insertion of the name OF Cappellar for
Eshelby in the affidavit charging Cappellar
with bribery; but as the affidavit is wholly I'm
Myers handwriting the error, II there really
was one made, cannot be charged TO the attor-
ney, as he insists that he fully explained to
Myers that according to his statement Cappel-
lar and not Eshelby would be criminaied by
the serving of the warrant Myers now says
that he will not appear against Cappellar. Il Is
probable that Myers will cause the arrest OF
Mayor Smith, of Cincinnati, who ordered
Myers arrested while in Columbus, II being
claimed that as mayor OF Cincinnati he had no
right to act while in this city. The fact that
Myers spent several hours i'm prison affords the
Enquirer an opportunity to denounce the act in
