THEY TALK of WAR.

Canadian Jealousy of the United States
the CAUSE OF the Fishery Troubles.
The real cause of all of the fisheries
troubles Is the deep-roOted jealousy Of
the Canadians against the Americans.
A Montreal dispatch OF the 31st says
The subject Of war is freely discussed
at the clubs. A prominent member of
Parliament, who is q strong govern
ment supporter, speaking on this SUBJ
ject with your correspondent, said
"There will be no half way about the
speedy settlement Of the question.
We shall force it upon the States to de-
clare whether they will keep their fish.
ing vessels out of our waters or whether
we shall send them to the bottom"
Asked what course would be pursued
by the Canadian cruisers if they met
with armed resistance, he said: tThe
minister of marine has declared that
Canada will take the consequences,
and in case of resistance, the officers
commanding the different cruisers
have orders to shoot the vessel out of
the water. England is at Canada's
back" The Canadian fisheries employ
59,493 men, 1, 177 vessels worth 81
OGI,OOO, duu 20, n UOdUS WOTUu
$852,257. The industry produces
$18, 900, 900 per year, of which nearly
$8,OOO,OOO is in exports, the United
States taking So, 560,731. The total
cost to the Canadian government of
protecting the industry is less than
$145,O0O per year.
The schooner Amos B., from Canso
reports the Dominion fishery police
boat L. Hewlett cruising 10 the neigh
borhood. The American schooners
James A. Garfield, Frederick Gerring
and Greenleaf have been officially re-
ported as havingpurchased bait with
in the Canadian limits, as well as
other vessels whose names have not
been learned. 1t is understood that
cruisers will attempt to seize these yes.
sells should they be met with. The
Garfield is stated to have purchased
bait and ice in Bras dor Lake and
the other two obtained theirs at Can
so and Fox Island. Many American
fishing schooners are believed to be
lowering around the Nova Scotian
coast, but their fears increase with he
departure of each new fishery cruiser
from port.

MOUSSE DISCOVERED.
TIE Missing Oregon Railroad Treasurer
Turns Up In Europe.

New YORK, June 4.-The Times this
morning says: "F'rederick Nourse,
the treasurer of the Oregon Railway &
Navigation Company, who mysteri-
ously disappeared from an English
hotel three or four months ago, has
been found, so a dispatch received in
Mr.. Nourse, whose Office was in the
Mills Building, and who was a we'll
known figure on Wall Street, complain
ed about New Years that his health
was seriously impaired, and the direc-
tors OF the company, recognizing his
devoted service through the several
years OF his engagement with their
company, voted to give him a leave Of
absence to enjoy a. trip abroad.
Though his body could not be found,
it was on all sides generally agreed
that ne had been foully dealt with.
That he should willingly seek to sacri-
fee his home, his wife and children,
rich relatives, and good business
standing was nowhere looked upon as
aught but the theory of g. most fool
ish character. His wife was devoted
to him. He had two interesting chill
dren. Motive for DESERVING them was
something that nobody could satisfac-
torily evolve. Yet, if yesterdays dis
patch from Boston, which was some
what vague as to details, can be de-
pended upon-and officers of the COM
pany accrediI it-Mr. Nourse did have
q motive for getting away from New
York, and did of his own free will, ard
by clever scheming seek to be mourned
as dead in this land while he yet lived
and enjoyed himself on the other side
of the sea. His trunks went from Lon
don to Liverpool, and he went gallop-
ing. after thenl-but not to the end OF
the route. 1t might have been q SIM
pie freak of his nature, this scheme for
getting an American obituary; a bit of
pleasantly, practical joke only. His
wife is in Europe. Explanations will
be made to her probably before they
come fully to people less conspicuous
ly interested.

Odd DeIusion of a Young Man.

From the Cincinnati Times Star.b
There is a young man more or less
known about town as the profigate
son of rich father who goes on ter
rible spree. about twice a year. At
these times he has the oldest idea i'm
aginable. Instead of seeing the GUS
tomary snakes, he believes that one of
John Robinson's elepbantsis trying to
kill him. 1t is fearful delusion, and
the young fellow thinks the great ami
NAL is chasing him from street to
street and from place to place seeking
an opportunity to crush him beneath
his ponderous feet.
On these occasions he invariably
goes to Hazen's detective agency and
hires one of the men to kill the ele-
plant. Theman goes out and returns
in about half an hour, saying that he
has shot the animal. Therupon the
profigate gives the detective $40 and
departs with an untroubled mind.
The detective has to kill the elephant
about twice q year.

He Got the Pass.

From brakes Travellers Maeazine.]
The following, which is true in every
particular, is too good to be lost, and
we embalm it in our columns:
When R. n Rice, who was after
ward president of the Michigan Gen.
trail Railroad, was the general MANA
ger of the New York Central, he re-
ceived by mail an expired pass, across
the back of which the holder had
written, in red ink:
''Bless my stars! no more on the cars
AS dead-head I'll ride on the rail,
Unless Mr. Rice should take my advice
And send me pass by the mail"
Without moment hesitation, Mr..
Rice turned the pass over and traced
in red ink on it's face the following:
1.-THE conductor will pass this bundle of gas
From July till the middle of Lent.
Like any other dead-head, without paying
red,
Let him ride to his hearts content"
The pass was never taken up, and is
to-day in the hands of the family of
the holder, who is now literally q
dead-head,

Dangerous Play.

The execution of the negro Bob
Smith caused several small boys to
get the hanging fever, and several dogs
and cats have been swung up with due
ceremony, writes g. Nicholasville, KY,
correspondent of the Cincinnati En-
quirer. Three negro boys we're seized
with desire to emulate the law and
"play" hanging. They procured g.
rope and sought the seclusion of g. liv-
cry stable on the Free Row, and drew
lots for sheriff, preacher, victim, etc.
The victim was tied hand and foot,
and allowed to make his speech, sing
his doxology, and pray, all of which
WIS done in solemn formality. Then
the "sheriff' adjusted the moose, twist
ing the Kluklux knot to the right tenn
pie, and here it had been agreed to
stop, but at this point a deaf and
dumb negro boy kicked the box and
the result came very near being fatal.
All the boys fled frightened into the
streets, screaming for help. Several
laborers FASTENED to the scene and
cut the rope just in time to save the
strangling boy, who was carried by
them into the street, where they laid
him down and summoned DIR. L. G.
Wagner to his aid. He was insensible
for some time, and is not out of dan
ger at this time. The excitement of
the negroes on this street was high,
and the little, half-foolish dummy"
with look of bewilderment on his
face, seemed to be going through min
gled feelings of fright and enjoyment.
The excitement among the mothers
took practical form a little later, and
the boys were padded ingood fashion.
They will hardly repeat the perform

The Demonstration of Short Duration
An Explanation.
The tie.up on the surface roads OF
New York and Brooklyn lasted but
little more than twenty-four hours.
On the morning of the 9Th the cars on
all the lines recommended running,
some at an earlier hour than others,
and by noon the entire service was in
operation as usual. The district exec
utive committee was in session long
after midnight on Saturday and the
order for the tie-up was revoked early
in the morning. The explanation of
the committee is that the grand strike
was simply resorted to for the purpose
OF demonstrating the power Of the
organization over the employees of all
the surface railroads in the district,
and to show that the men are loyal to
the organization and ready to obey
it's orders

ShlpRulInlNc ON THE CLYDE.

The shipbuilding trade on the
Clyde has been much depressed
during the past year. Two hundred
and forty-onc vessels, of an aggre-
gate tonnage of 193,4js tons have
been launched. which shows a fall
ing of 1913, 400 tons as compared
with last year, and it is by far the
lowest return since 1879. The best
wear ever known on the Clyde was
1888, when the tonnage was 42O, 900
tons. The prospects for next year
are fairly good and there are signs
of revival in trade, as a large
number of orders, have been booked
in the principal yards, including an
unprotected cruiser for the Spanish
Government, which is to attain the
amazing speed of twenty-five knots
per hour.

The CONGO RAILWAY.

The agreement between the Gov
eminent of the Independent Congo
State and II. M. Stanley and James
f. Hutton, NJ. p, acting on behalf
of the Congo Railway Syndicate,
which was concluded on Thursday
last, marks Il very important step
towards the effective opening up of
trade with most populous part of
the Congo basin. The list of emf
nent and practical men who have
interested themselves in the scheme
of the syndicate ought to be taken
as an assurance that serious work is
meant. The scheme is to unite the
Lower with the Upper Congo by
what is described us State railway,
to be built under the auspices of the
Congo Government, and under a
Royal Charter, the company, how
ever, being registered under British
law. and to have its seat of admins
tration in London. The capital is
to be "from Fl, 900, 900 to 2,O00,-
600 sterling, and subscriptions are
to be opened in the capitals of all
the fourteen Powers who took part
in the Berlin Conference. 1t may
be presumed that in all this con-
nection with the State there is i'm
piled a State guarantee. What this
may be worth in the long run will
probably depend upon what may
prove to be the need and success OF
the railway itself. The enterprise
is one of undoubted boldness. II
is most desirable one in the inter
ests of both commerce and civiliza-
ton. - Leeds Mercury, Dec. 2G.

a PROPOSAL TO BURY the HATcHET.

EDITOR BULLETIN: Now that the
election contest is over and the re-
suit known, |, who in common with
others have looked on from the out
side, desire little space to say a
word or two regarding what | be-
lieve would be the Wise and COM
nonsense course now to adopt. The
Government party has won the day:
the Opposition is IN minority. The
successful side is naturally jubilant
and the other as naturally disap-
pointed. The Government made n
vigorous fight to maintain its posi-
ton and power, and the Opposition
entered into the struggle in the inter-
ests of reform and retrenchment.
The former is sustained by the popu-
lar vote and the latter rejected.
During the campaign the air re-
sounded with extravaganza and eN-
aggerated statements from the press,
the platform, and the stump. Any
one credulous enough to believe
one-half of what was uttered by
either party could not have escaped
the impression that the other was
the concentration of badness. The
success of either party was said by
the other to be synonymous with the
irredeemable ruin of the country.
Now the struggle is over it is to be
hoped the victorious party Will he
satisfied with its victory, and cease
its unworthy abuse of its opponent,
and that the vanquishcd party will
take its defea with magnanlmlty
and make the hest of failure. |
cannot believe that the Government
supporters and sympathisers are SO
corrupt, so unprincipled and I'M
scrupulous, as represented. Neither
can | believe that Oppositionists are
all place-hunters, selfish and un'
patriotic, striving to ''rule or ruin. y
If there were not some in each party
whose motives and aims are question
able. it would be remarkable in
deed; but to place all, or even /;
majority, in the same category, is
reflection on the national characte
too monstrous for an unbiased minC
to accept. Believing, then, that thu
good of the country and its people
is the desire and aim of the two par
ties, although they may differ il
opinion as to how this object SHOULD
be effected, all bitterness of feelin!
and hardness of language SHOULD
now cease, and the vanquished len'
all assistance in their power, con
sistent with principle, for the accom-
plishmcnt of the common purpose
