estimated that in 1885 nearly 4O, O,0OO, 900
pounds Of cod, paddock, ETC., over y.

her Of mackerel, the catch being small .
or than usual, and nearly a million
pounds each OF blustish and sword
fish, making grand total of about ST.

as far 1880.
NUMBER OF VESSELS.
The report OF the Commissioners of
Navigation for 1885 shows the whole
number of vessels engaged In the cod
and mackerel fisheries to be 1889, with
total of 73,4l4 tons. The United
States census of 1880 shows that the
entire fisheries of New England en-
ployed 2066 vessels, with 14,7s7 boats
end 81, ,043 men, and having produc-
tion Of 1870, 1893. OF these vessel .
there are between 40 and so in what
are known as the Boston feet, while
Gloucester claims about eight times as
many. The fishing vessels, particulars
ly those used In the winter season,
have nearly doubled in size since the
early fishing days, and 80 to 100 tons
is nothing uncommon.

had paid the bills though some of the

through her carelessness had let loose

FOREIGN RELATIONS.
Correspondence Relative to Duties Upon
American Petroleum and Dutch To-

Correspondence Relative to Duties Upon
baccO.
The Secretary Of state yesterday submitted to
the House of Representatives. correspondence
between this country and Holland relating to
the proposed increase OF duty on petroleum
imported into Holland aud Its colonial posses
sions The correspondence consists principally
Of letters between Secretary Bayard ana Mr.
Bell, minister at the Hague, together with one
or two letters from the minister Of foreign
aiInirs of Holland and the Dutch minister at
Washington. Secretary Bayard takes the
ground that the proposed increase of duty on
petroleum would operate practically as u pro.
hibitive law and would cause dminution of
revenue instead of an increase; that 1t was
mined at an article which was largely exported
nom this country, and which was not produced
In Holland or her possessions; that the United
States had treated Holland with great fairness
and with desire TO promote commercial aud
friendly relations between the two countries,
and that If the duty was increased the United
states government might be compelled to
adopt retaliatOty measures.
The Dutch officials took the ground that tho
duty was fiscal measure, and not one in
tended to affect the relations between the two
countries, and that the duty was imposed upon
petroleum as an article which could easiest
bear the increased duty. Tho people, the
minister of foreign affairs Of Holland said,
could and would pay the increased duty. At
the same time, he called attention to the duty
which was imposed upon Sumatru tobacco and
TO the agitation concerning an increase of duty
which was going on In this country, and made
to destroy one OF the most important industries
of Holland. Secretary Bayard contended on
his part that the duty was not imposed upon
Sumatra tobacco In particular, but upon all
wrapper tobacco. and therefore could not
be considered as directed against Holland.
The Dutch government ailerward stated TO Mr..
Bell that the proposed increase of duty on pc
troleum would not be made, but that the
money would DO raised by means of an excise
tax on petroleum, the amount of which would
not DO SO high rs to diminish consumption.
