The Fisheries Question.

The fisheries question is exciting good
deal of attention in Congress and among
the fishermen of the country. Messrs.
Frye and Dingley have called the atten-
ton of the Senate and House to the course
being pursued by the Canadian suthori-
ties in regard to our fishermen, and have
given notice that measures must be taken
TO counteract the unfriendly and illegal
steps pursued in Canada towards the fish
ermen OF this country.
1t is unfortunate tor our fishing interests
that the State Department at Washington
is in the hands of men who do not appear
to know what our rights are in this mat
ter. and permit their action to be controlled
by the British Minister. The article in
our columns written by Mr.. Spofford and
first published in the Boston Traveller re-
veals singular state of things A
Portland maa interested in the fishing
business telegraphs to the State Depart
ment for information in regard to this
subject so that he may know what to do
about shipping sailors in Dominion ports.
He receives despatch from the Depart
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1886-04-07

ment containing the instruction sought,
and on the same day receives another
despatch completely contradicting the
first, SO that he is entirely at loss to know
which to believe and what to do in his
business.
1t is suggested in some quarters that
the first despatch was sent before Secre-
tary Bayard had consulted the British
Minister, and the second was sent after
that eminent functionary was consulted.
At any rate, whatever the cause of these
contradictory dispatches, it is humiliating
to observe the vacillating course of the
Department and its evident fear of
doing something that may be offensive to
the Dominion authorities and the British
government.

4 CASE WHEREIN Two LADIES REGARDED A
FAIR EXCHANGE AS ROBBERY.

On Saturday afternoon the fashionably
dressed wife of prominent New York broker
entered Wechsler & Abrshams dry goods
store, on Fulton street. She was followed by
French maid wheeling a baby carriage. in
which reposed a tender infant, struggling
hard to swallow rattle-box. Consigning the
carriage and the baby to the care of John
Young, the doorman, lady and maid then
proceeded upstairs to the childrens under
wear department.
But it was utterly impossible for the lady
to be suited, and she despatched her attendant
for the child itself When it appeared the
mother shet wild look of inquiry at the
precious bundle and franticaly shrieked
Heavens. Where is my baby? This isn't
it,"
The female clerks and saleswomen rushed
below to the corridor and saw only an empty
baby carriage. Then the lady herself APP
peared, and declared again that neither the
baby nor the carriage was hers. Finally she
swooned and was carried TO Manager Nc
Nulty's room Meanwhile the wife OF local
real estate dealer had entered the store and
gone to the basement, leaving her cooling
child in It's carriage in the corridor. Pres
emily returning she had ordered her maid to
trunde the infant to their home, on Scher-
merhorn street. but when they arrived the
lump of divinity suddenly and loudly revived
from peaceful sleep, and the mother cried
aloud that the bawling brat was not her little
darling.
They were back again at the store as quick
as their hurrying feet could take them, and
were most cordially welcomed by Doorman
Young. who had suddenly remembered that
in order to remove Instructions from the
doorway he had changed the positions of two
baby carriages that::he had found there.
Fire flew from the ewes of the two mothers
when they met, but neither spoke. Each,
however. had something caustic to say to Mr..
Young, whose life has since been made mis-
cradle by the sneering whispers and con-
temptuous glances of the saleswomen.
