A DISPATCH elsewhere says there is
no foundation for the reported treaty
with Great Britain in settlemen of the
fisheries question, and another from
Gloucester says that such a treaty
would be death to the fishing
interests of New England. We
think our fellow citizens of the
North can contain their eouls
in peace. Secretary Bayard can be
relied upon to guard their interests
and save them from the ruin they
dread. They ought TO have the priv
ilege of trading in Canadian ports.
The commonest dictates OF humanity
would seem to US TO dictate such
safeguard, and our government should
insist upou it.

JACKSON, Miss September 24.-The
second annual convention of the Wom-
ems Christian Temperance Union, of
Miss 'ssippi, assembled today in Repre-
sentative hall and was called to order
by Mrs. F. Fl. Erwin, of Columbus,
President of the Union. The roll call

representing half that many Unions,
present. The following State officers

Annie Harper, vice presidents; Mrs.
Mollie MCGEE Snell, corresponding
secretary; Mrs. w. Fl. Patton, super
tendent temperance literature; Mrs.
j. B. Gambrell, superintendent prets
Department, and Mrs. Kells, superin-
tendent scientific Instructions. The
day was largely consumed in
organizing and receiving re-
ports Of the various Unions.
The. reports were very encouraging,
showing the order to be rapidly grow
ing and in fiue condition for effective
work, The fine singing was one of the
attractive features of the convention,
which was immensely enjoyed by all
present. Members from the different
church choirs assisted in the singing.
A large number of delegates will ar
rive tonight. The address of welcome,
response and other speeches will be

MILLIONAIRE MAoKAY says this coun-
try is good enough for him and that he
never contemplated building resi-
denCe in London or Paris. He says,
also, that he does not want newspaper
notoriety, that it is unpleasant to him
and to his wife, and, additionally, that
what has been recently published
about him and his family is utterly
without foundation in fact. This
ought to have the effect of releasing
Mackay from further persecution.
But il won't. A millionaire is the re-
porter's meat, and he must bear up
under the consequences OF his millions.

The hopeful outlook for cotton is
among the encouraging features of the
business situation. Manufactured
goods are in active demand, the mills
here and abroad are running on full
time, and the general condition Of
trade the world over is healthful and
promising. In the face of a crop,
varying, in the opinion of statisticlans
from 6,5OO,0OO to $500 bales, the
value of the staple is advancing daily
and the belief is widespread that the
present prices will not be materially
lowered, and many are Of the
opinion that even a higher level of
prices will be attained. The reports
from Manchester yesterday were Of an
encouraging nature, and that proverb-
tally cautious market is not given to
rose colored descriptions Of the trade
situation. The advices from there re-
ported 'eiOths firm, sellers ssking al
vance" As this is the first intimRtion
received from that querter in long
time that did not convey the intima-
tion that Manchester spinners were
starving to death and holding on to
life by their eyelids, it is safe to infer
that business is on something OF o
boom over there,

Meeting OF the DOCTORS.

WASHINGTON, September 24.-The
representatives of the Medical and
Surgical Societies of the United States
met at the Army Medical Museum to-
day, and effected temporary orgSni-
zation by the election of DR.. Bussy, Uf
this city, chairman, and DR.. Ewing
Means, secretary. The work was all
preliminary, as the subject in hand
was to consider the advisability
OF arranging for regular meetings
in Washington of the various medical
and surgical societies. DR.. Pepper, of
Philadelphia, submitted a proposition
that it was desirable to form a con-
gress of the socities represented. 1t
was decided TO form such congress,
and it was agreed 10 constitute an Ex-
ecutive Committee of one representa-
tive from each society of the Union,
favoring the project, and that this Ex-
ecutive Committee should decide the
time for meetiu gs in Washington. Also,
that at these regular meetings the
principal order of business should be
an address by the president, and then
the presentation of original essays for
discussion, 1t was definitely decided
that all meetings shall be held in
Washington, but the remaining de-
tails, except the address.by the presi-
dent and the essays, will be left to
the Executive Committee. Each rep
resentative will report back to his
society, and if it ap poroves of the plan
it will elect member OF the Execu.
tive Committee.

THE confession that Mr.. Abram Hew-

page is sad one, and a severe retlec-
ton upon our legislative methods

the personal jealousies and ambitions
that are permitted to interfere with
public affairs and absolutely
retard the public business, to
the dstriment of the vital
interests Of the people. 1t is a fla,

should be permitted to obtrude his
selfish desires, to lord it like a boss,
dictats his preferences and postpone
legislation. We know OF no more
odious tyranny. tits the very sntith-
