CANADIAN VIEW
Of the Fisheries and Extradition
QuesfiOns--A Talk With Sir ohm
q. macdonald.

DETROIT, Dec. 15.-The Free Press to-
morrow will publish an interview with Sir
John A Macdonald, Canadian premier.
In response to the questions, "What VIII
be the outcome of the fisheries dispute? Is
there prospects of its adjustments" he said:
There is or should be, no dispute. Inc
treaty Of ISIS is just, expli it and sufficient.
1t simply forbids American vessels from hsh-
ing within the three-mie limit and
from passing that limit on landing, except for
certain specified purposes, of which the buy
ing of bait is not one. There is no room for
discussion as to the intent of the treaty, ex-
cept as to the headand ques ion. SO called.
That is. Shall the line defining the three-mile
limit follow the sinuosities OF the bays and
inlets, or be drawn from headland to head
land, so as to prevent fishing by American
vessels in partially land ocked waters. We
hold the latter view, as die Daniel Webster.
This propOSiu N il, in fact. maintained by the
American Seahoard states"
lis there prospect OF the negotiation of
more liberal extraditiOn treaty.
Her majesty government would make no
treaty affecting Canada without consulting
US, and any recommendation Canada might
make would be approved in England, pro-
viding the consent of the other contracting
party cUrld be obtained. Canada is favor
able to the making of an extradition treaty in
the broadest terms, providing for the sur
render of any criminal of whatsoever degree,
save only those guilty of offenses so petty as
to make the use of the machinery of extra
dition absurd. Ii seems to me that so long as
the courts of the country are so administered
as to justify confidence that every accused
person will receive fair and Just treatment
there can be no excuse for shielding any man
from surrender after proper and formal de-
mand. The obstruction to such a treaty
comes, not from Ottawa or from England. but
fromW ashingtoD. To my mind it is clear
that the treaty would long since have been az
accomplished fact but for the subtle in
fuence on your side of the perniciOus class
which insists that the man who kills or de-
strovs by dynamite is not criminal but a
political offender. Were your president
elected once in ten years we should have
such treaty.

New YORK, Dec. 15.-The marine oper-
ator at Sandy Hook last night mistook the
signals of the Gui0n line steamer Alaska
for those of the general transatlantic La
BOurgogne, and reported the arrival of the
latter. Up to midnight tonight she had
not been sighted. The Alaska was obliged
to anchor outside the bar for high water.
and did not reach her wharf until nearly
noon. With the B0urgOgne, she was due
on Sunday morning. Very severe weather
was experienced. and for long time the
engines were only under half movement.
The excitement ran very high to-day when
it was learned that the Bourgogne had not
arrived. She has in all 700 passengers on
board. About the battery it is thought
that the Bourgognes machinery is disabled
at sea, and that she is proceeding to this
city under sail. They base their belief on
the fact that the steamer Canada. which
arrived Sunday. reported having seen about
$50 miles Oft Sandy Hook big transatlantic
steamer under canvas, apparently with

That establishes his reputation for sagacity.

whose judgment is the tombstone of all

Kentucky's big-brained senator to know
that his opinion receives the unanimous in
