(Signed) GROVER CLEVELAND.
Executive Mansion, Washington, ID. c.
December s, 1856.
Secretary Bayard in his letter accom-
panying the correspondence In relation
to fisheries in waters adjacent to British
North America says. referring to the
treaty of Washington of June 0, 1904,
and of the treaty of May 5, 1871: 1t is
deeply to be regretted tnat the efforts of
this department to arrive at such an
agreement as would permit instructions
OF a like tenor to be issued by the gov
ernment of Great Britain and the United
States to guide citizens of the respective
nationalitles in fishing in the waters In
question and defining the limits OF un.
lawful action therein, have not as yet
reached a final and satisfactory result,
although propositions are now pending
for consideration which it is hoped may
prove the basis of just and permanent
settlement.
1t is considered expedient that Con.
gress should have full knowledge OF the
action of the Executives in the premises
to assist them in their deliberations up.
on this important subject. 1t would
seem proper that steps in perpetualIc
memorio be taken by Congress to allow
proofs to be m ,de and placed on record
of these losses and injuries to our citi'
zens to enable them to be properly pre-
sented to Her Majesty's government Tor
settlement, and that for this purpose
should be authorized by Con
gress to take the necessary proofs OF the
claimants.

Flower Festival Society.

EDITOR HERALD:-The Flower Festi.
val Society has been the recipient of
many pleasant surprises. The hearts OF
the ladies engaged in this woman's work
have been gladdened by donations of
lots of money by the hearty cooperation
of hundreds, in the great work of car
rying on our annual festivals, and now
Mr.. II. w. Mills has added another link
to our long glistaning chain of blessings.
You are doubtless aware that our so
ciety is erecting our Woman's Home,
commodious and complete in all of its
departments, on Fourth, between Main
and Los Angeles streets.
A most happy thought suggested
itself to Mr.. Mills, which he carried out
by offering to furnish (more than com.
fortably) one of the sleeping rooms of
this Home; and in addition to this, to
put into our treasurer's hands the sum
of one hundred dollars to be used where
most needed.
Certainly this example of Mr.. Mills is
most worthy of imitation. Now this
thought comes to us: Are there not
many ladies' and gentlemen in our ia
vored city who would render assistance
in this department?
We feel sure that the giving would
not impoverish, and that in blessing
others they themselves would be blessed.
Respectfully,
LADIES' FLOWER FESTIVAL BOARD.

THE FLORBNCEs.
and SOn'' at the Grand
Opera House.

| Mr.. w. j. Florence appeared at the
Grand Opera House last night as "Cap.
tain Cutie" in "Dombey and Son." He
wore the very makeup in all respects
invented by that prince of old time
comedians, w. E. Burtoh. 1t is useless
to speak of its artistic excellence to
those who saw it, and equally useless to
speak of it to those who never saw it.
The same may be said in due measure
of the dressing of the piece Throughout,
as also of the setting. The dream scene
of the rescue at sea was very fine. But
the scene shifters should draw up the
net work curtain ut the end of the
dream.
The elegant audience present were de.
lighted with the rendition of the inter.
estng drama. Florence was at his best.
and his support is really, in the main,
very good. The Mrs. Dombey of Miss
Florence Noble was a most acceptable
rendition of the role. The "Nipper" of
Miss Hattie Russell, was also particu.
larily good.
Mrs. Florences dresses are so remark.
able that brief sketch OF some of them
follows.
A gown that was coveted and copied by the
Queen of Spain is of amber satin. The
Marchioness train is seen through dra-
perry of jetted lace as is also the pettcoat.
Demi sleeves of jetted lace and pelerine of
the same complete the costume. A gown OF
garnet satin striped with garnet ana white,
with richly embroidered side panels is
pretty. The roses and leaves in the en-
broidery are full-sized ana twere easy to
imagine them natures own. inc pan room
sweet for anything. 1t is OF ciel blue and
sunshine satin, with duchess train caught
in paffs over the tournure ana long pleated
side panels over white satin petticoat:
But the daintiest of all, the one dream of
loveliuess, is a costume of white French
faille silk, hand-embroidered in natures
own exact tints. The low corsage Is sleeve
less, and elaborateiy embroidered to match
the skirt. The tOurnure and drapery are
the most elegant have ever seen, and its
elegance is heightened by the graceful car
riage of the wearer. In none Of these dresses
is there taint of staginess. Neither does it
sppear in single costume belonging to the
ladies' Of thu company. IL Inere Is IN, not IA a
mond. The toilets might be worn at the
most elegant court reception, such are their
elegance of makeup, richness OF fabric and
elaboration.

A Murder i'm Tucson.

NoGALEs, A. r., December S.-One of
the most cold.blooded attempts at mur-

Cured yesterday about 4 o'clock at the
United States Custom House. Denny
M. Kalher, agent for N. M. & A. R. r.,
went to the Custom House with the pur.
pose of paying duties on some oranges.
After few remarks with the deputy
collector, Wilson b. E. Hambleton, a
mounted Inspector of Customs rose
from his chair and remarked: "Kalher,
you have been making nasty remarks
about me-" "Hambleton, if have said
any thing about you that is not so,
will take it back and sincerely beg your
pardon, but if what 1 have said
is so, l retract nothing. and everything
goes" Upon this Hambleton struck
Kalhar knocking him backward. As
Kahlar was recovering from the blow,
Hambleton stepped back and fired, the
ball entering Kalhar between the sixth
and seventh ribs on the left side, pass
ing through the lower part of the left
lung, made its exit about an inch to the
left of the spinal column, carrying with
it portions of the spinal column. A
large crowd soon gathered and the in.
iured man was removed to his room in
the depot. The wound is probably
fatal. Hambleton was Immediately ar
rested and heavily ironed and guard
of five men was placed over him. Knots
of men gathered around the streets ad.
vocating lynching Hambleton in case of
Kahlars death. Rumors of probable
attempt at lynching reaching the officers
ears they took the prisoner by private
conveyance to Tucson last night.

SAN Francisco, December S.-A tie
up took place on the Sutter strset rail-

tute days work. At present this class
of employees are only receiving 81 %
per day of thirteen and one.half hours.
Another demand is made that the host.
lers shall receive $50 a month instead OF
$50.
About two hundred men went out,
comprising conductors and gripmen of
che cable cars, conductors and drivers
on horse cars on the Polk street branch,
