American Craft Not to Be Seized

OTTAWA, ONT, juno 19.-The fisheries
question was up for discussion at yester-
days session Of the Privy Council, and
Sir John Macdonald severely took to task
the Minister of Fisheries for having
jeopardized Canadian rights in the prose-
cutiOn OF what has been known to be a
very weak case. He also condemned the
Governor General for not sanctioning the
bill recently passed by Parliament, which
he expressed himself as believing would
fix the troublesome question all right in
accordance with Canada's views. In an
interview with the Minister OF Fisheries
the latter said that circulars had
been sent out as telegraphed yesterday.
He said they did not mean a permanent
pack down. He would merely accom-
plsh by moderate means the end sought
for. He said the Instructions issued by
him 10 the Captains Of cruisers and Gus
toms officers on May have been can
celled, and in their stead these officials are
now instructed to supply a copy OF the Of
fetal circular of warning to American fish,
ermen found in Nova Sc0tian waters, and
il twenty-fOur hours after the receipt
thereof such foreign vessel is found inside
the three-mile limit fishing or preparing
to fish, then Canadian officer is to be
placed on board and the facts teegraphed
TO the Minister OF Fisheries. Americans
will be allowed to buy bait or other sup
plies or ship men and enjoy any other
commercial privileges, but they must not
remain longer than tWenty-four hours.

7. 3. Cleary WAS the engineer. When about
100 yards from the woman the engineer
sighted her running down the side track
chasing pig. He Immediately began to
ring the bell, and had no idea but what
the woman would leave the side of the
track. When the engine was only about
six feet away the pie darted across the
track and the woman followed. She was
about etep off the track when the pilot
struck one OF her legs, knocking her 6f-
teen feet in the air. The train was
stopped at once and n crowd went back

night and was a solid sheet of flame I'm a

hull but was full Of oiksOaked timber and
was entirely covered with n double
decked cabin. Halt an hour after the
fire was observed the strange actions
OF man wandering in the darkness in
Il dazed fashion in the park below
the White House grounds attracted
the attention of some gentlemen who
recognized in his coherent talk evidence
OF pain. The man was brought to Mill
burns drug store near the treasury,
where he was found to be frighttullY
burned about the body, arms and head.
From his dleiointed talk, while efforts
were being made to alleviate his distress,
IL would seem that a coal oil lamp eX-
ploded on the dredge, scattering the names
so thstthe whole interior of the cabin was
at once ablaze.

was unable to guide his steps

dent. The dredge mas been working a
double turn, and the burned man saws

on board, and he supposeS many Of them
were asleep like himself He saw moth

out IN the stream opposite the marsh OF

were rescued by the boats from some OF

probably lost their lives. The burned man
was taken TO hospital. His name was
not learned.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-The Hous to.
day went into committee Of the whole,
with Mr.. Crisp in the chair, on the naval
appropriation bill. On motion OF Mr..
Herbert, OF Alabama, an amendment was
adopted reappropriating S2OO, 900 from the
surplus on hand to the credit Of the pay OF
the marine corps. Consideration OF the
bill having been completed, Mr.. GOf,

GIBSON TAKEN TO TASK.
Mr.. Gibson, OF West Virginia, made q
speech in which he attributed the de-
plorable condition Of the navy 10 Repub-

was denied by Mr.. Reid. Of Maine, who
placed the responsibility upon the Demo-
cratic party. which had had control OF
the House since the 44th Congress. with
the exception Of the 47th Congress. When
man made a speech like that made by
the gentleman from West Virginia, no
Oue believed In II except the man himself.
such speeches were made by gentlemen
for their constituents. Did the gentlemen
think that their constituents were more
ignorant than themselves? That was q
heavy charge to bring. Laughter.

Mr.. Gibson protested against the AFRO,
giant and impertnent remarks OF the gen-
tleman from Maine. He Was tired OF this
arrogant manner and for one he would
not submit TO 70. Laughter

Mr.. Gladstone has written the follow
ing letter to Mir. Caine, Liberal Member
OF Parliament for Barrow, in relation to
the speech recently made by that gentle
man:
Your address quotes me as having solemnly Y
declared that the decision of the country must
De taken on both the government of Ireland
ana land bills at once. | request you to point
out where / made that declaration. This
matter Is important and requires early at
tentiOn.
To the above letter Mr.. Caine has re-
piled as follows:
did not quote the statement in question
as Il passage OF one of your speeches but as
expressing my opinion OF certain passages of
your speeches, and further have read every
word spoken by you and fail to discover any
ste5ement of yours indicating an intention TO
abandon the land purchase scheme. / should
be glad If could understand your letter as
such an indication even at the eleventh hour.
Is this your intention? II so, l deeply
regret that your decision was not sooner de-
clared as 1t would probably have saved the
party IRON disruption. and many OF your de-
voted friends from the painful position in
which they find themselves to- day.
The Liberals of Gloucestershire have
rejected Henry r. Brand as an unfit can
dldate for election to Parliament, and
have appointed committee to secure a

schemes.
