has New Canadian Treaty Been Agreed
Upon Note
NEW YORK, September Ath.-The Olta-
wa special TO the World, concerning the al
legged treaty agreed upon between the
United States and Canada, gives the follow
ing as its chief features: Among the
important matters settled is the fishery
question. The settlement now made pro-
vides that the waters of all the Canadian
coasts, bays and harbors shall be forever
open to Americans, who are to enjoy the
same liberty and pursuits of happiness as
are enjoyed by British subjects themselves
Drying up and curing upon coasts, within
harbors or along creeks, is permitted wher-
ever British subjects are not previously in
possession or occupying the land. On the
other hand, in regard to reciprocal rela-
tions, it amounts to a free exchange of
commerce. As has been decided upon
sugars, teas, coffees, agricultural imple-
ments, cotton goods-when manufactured
colt and cotton clothes of all kinds, as
well as woolen goods manufactured or in
the raw, are to be admitted into both coun-
tries free of duty. Agricultural implements,
salt, raisins, oils of all kinds, gypsum
marble iron and steel, in the ore or manu-
factured, as well as ores of all minelals and
seeds, are also admitted. Lumber when
not sawed or hewed, as well as all farming
implements and household goods, will be
admitted into either country free of duty.
Boots and shoes will also be non-dutiable."
PRESS COMMENTS.
New YORK, September 24th.-The COM
meciat says, editorially, of the new treaty
with Canada, telegraphed this morning
" So far as we may judge from the sum-
mary now published, the treaty is calcu-
lated to remove existing evils and benefit
both parties to the transaction. 1t gives the
seafaring men of the New England coast
privileges they desire and demand. 1t re-
moves the internal dissensions which
threaten to disintegrate Canada as a con-
federacy, and it will greatly help trade on
both sides of the border by removing pro-
tective duties on certain lines of articles.
In fact, by this treaty there is virtually as
free trade between the United States and
Canada as now exists under the Constitu-
ton, among the States and Territories of
the Union. Commercially, the treaty, if
ratified, will make Canada essentially a
part of the United States"
FISHERMEN DENoUNcE IT.
New YORK, September 24th.-The Posts
special from Gloucester, Mass, says: The
terms of the reported new reciprocity treaty
with Canada has caused the utmost indig-
nation among the fishery industry of Glou-
Cester, and Democrats and Republicans
alike unite in denouncing it. In conversa-
ton with reporter, one of the largest fish
dealers said The new treaty means
nothing but reciprocity in fish. II such
treaty should be ratified the fishing indus
try of the country would be ruined and
transferred to Canada. This is Just what
the Gloucester fishermen have been fighting
against. Reciprocity in fish means gradual
decadence of the fishing business in the
United States"
THE WHOLE THING DENIED.
New YORK, September 24th-A Wash
ington special to the Post SAYS: The
treaty with Canada, which comes in an
Ottawa dispatch of the 23d, has no founda-
ton in fact so far as the alleged facts are
stated to have been submitted to President
Cleveland and Secretary Bayard and agreed
upon. No negotiations for any treaty with
Great Britain. on the part of the United
States, have been entered upon since the
Convention, the results of which were laid
before the Senate at its last session, and
were left unacted on. 1t is within the linz
its of possibility, Assistant Secretary of
State Porter says, that project Tor the sug-
gested Convention amendatory of the treaty
Of 1918, may have been forwarded by the
British Colonial Office to the Canadian
Minister for suggestions, bat no credence
is attached to the statement purporting to
give lut lSAt Vi IT'S ElONlSlOliS.
ANOTHER DENIAL.
OTTAWA, September 24th.-Inquiries in
official circles fail to elicit any information
relative to the statement that the Canadian
Government is considering the draft of
new treaty between England and the
United States Foster, Minister of Marine
and Fisheries, denies the truth of the re-
port. claiming that he has not received any
intelligence regarding new treaty.
Precautions Against Cattle Disease,
CHICAGO, September 24th-Pearson and
McChesney, of the Live Stock Commission,
which has been investigating the pleuro-
pneumonia in this city for the past three or
four days, had a consultation this forenoon
with the officials of the Stock Yards Com
pauy. 1t was learned that the conclusion
reached was that beef that passed the proper
inspection, and that was pronounced not to
be diseased, might be sold. The Live Stock
Commission intimates that it fully expects
that within q week quarantine against
Chicago bcef will be declared by Iowa and
Wisconsin; and that some such action is
contemplated, is evident by the presence in
this city of Live Stock officials of the States
named. Pearson said, in answer to ques-
ton as to what would be done with the
cattle: " We intend to have every one of
them slaughtered and will make separate
iISptCllOll VI lllc lungs VI Nllc illllllli1s
Those whose organs show signs of pleuro-
pneumonia will be burned up, but the
others will be sold for beef for whatever is
bid for them"
WORK OF THE GOVERNMENT AGENT
WASHINGTON, September 24th.-Commis-
sioner Coleman, of the Department of Agri-
culture, who sent DR.. Salmon, of the
Bureau of Animal Industry, to Chicago to
ascertain if the disease that had broken out
there was pleuro-pneumonia, received by
telegram to-day the following report
There is no doubt that the cattle disease
is pleuro-pneumonia. The authorities find
much difficulty in dealing with it. Some
$4,000 worth of cattle are to be Slaugh-
tered. and less than $4,000 is available of
the State appropriation. The Department
cannot pay for diseased cattle here, because
the State law requires their slaughter with
out compensation. ! have offered, for the
Department to meet the expenses of
slaughtering, except compensation to
owners for disinfecting, and also to make
an inspection of the suspected district. Do
you approve of what | have done? The
State Commission Is now arranging the
details of the slaughter" Commissioner
Coleman sent the following reply: "Tele-
gram received, and your action approved.
You are also authorized to take any steps
deemed necessary and expedient to still
further confirm your diagnosis and fully
establish that the disease is pleuro-pneu-
monia.'
Virgins Amends His Earthquake Pro-
gramme.
PHILADELPHIA. September oath. = The
Press says; Virgins is alarmed at the
effect of his idle predictions, and has began
to hedge. In response TO a question for
information from the editor of the Atlanta
Constitution he skillfuIly switches the earth
quake more to Central and South America
and California They are not easily fright
ened in California, and the other regions
threatened will not have time to protest
with Virgins before next Wednesday, so, |
probably, the programme as amended will
not be again interfered with.
EVERYBODY BUYS EN-.
New YORK, September 24th.-Some en-
terprisiDg printer here, with an eye TO I
business, has published Virgins earth |
quake predictions in big type. Boys are !
selling them on Broadway and Park Place /
at one cent apiece. They had a liberal sale, |
and as every purchaser probably read his /
