THE GOLDFISH WAR.
The Maine Fishermen Getting Very Warm and
Threatening to Send 0at Armed Vessels.

PORTLAND, Me-, May 19-The excitement
here over the seizure of the schooner Ella NJ.
Doughty by the Canadian authorities is increas
ing, as is the feeling that the government is
strangely silent Letters have been received
from all along the coast, saying that common
cause will be made with the Portland fishermen
and that general union for defense will be ar
ranged. Said one man: "lf l had been in
Captain Doughty's place, with twelve good men
at my back, that one officer would never have
taken my vessel"
Another said: 'We shall fight for our rights,
and if the government will not protect ns, we
will protect ourselves. Had Captain Doughty's
men been armed, the capture would never have
been made When Captain Doughty goes to
sea again he will carry small arms and all other
fishing vessels that go out of this port will also
be armed, and their captains will have direct
orders to resss all attempts that may be made
to seize the vessels"
The fishermen say that the government has
not given the slightest sign of interest in the
matter, and that il Portland cannot send word
to Captain Doughty, at Englishtown. that the
government cf the United States will protect
him, then Portland can and will say to him that
the people of the State of Maine will stand hack
of him. and that American vessels cannot be
seized at will by the Canadians
At meeting of the Portland Fish Exchange
resolutions denouncing the seizure and calling
on Congress to take action were adopted.
A fishing schooner is now fitting out at Port
land and is expected to leave tomorrow or Fri
day for the fishing grounds, fully armed. She
will be the first armed vessel to leave Port
land
The Hon. Hannibal Hamilton was interviewed
tonight relative to the fishery trouble. He said
that if there obstacles in the provn-
cial law regarding American fishing
vessels trading in Canadian ports, there
should be similar restraints on Canadian vessels
in American waters. He thought both govern
ments were too wise to get into serious trouble
over the matter.

Mr. Dingley, in conversation with the Press
correspondent to night, said that there ap-
peared to be considerable misconcepton as to

not intended a retaliatory measure, but pro
poses to authorize the President to deny priv
ileges to foreign vessels in United States ports
which are denied to American vessels of the
same character by such foreign authorities.
Mr. Dingley says that the whole trouble arises
from the fact that when the treaty of Washing

mistake of going to the British minister instead
of to Americans who were interested in the
Bayard now sees his mistake, and is endeavoring
to rectify it in the best way possible. He is
