The Wonderful AmOnnt OF Work the

The Wonderful AmOnnt OF Work the
Evangelist Is Doing.
The churches have propounded the prob
lem, but never solved it, How shall we
reach the massesY Miss Jennie Smith
has found the answer to the question. She
has gone back to the primitive days OF the
church. She has left fiue church buildings,
with their cushioned pews and carpeted
sisles, and costly organs and breaches to
the masses on the public streets and in the
market places, Just as the Wesleys, Whit,
fields and other founders OF the Church did
one and two aud three hundred years ago.
There are thousands and tens of thousands
who can be reached by the Gospel in this
way onlY-people who never 90 inside OF
church.
Her lsbors yesterday were very exhaust.
i've. In the early morning she conducted
general class meeting at the Fourth
Street NJ. Z Church, and afterwards as
sisted in the forenoon services of that
church. Then she met with the I NJ. G,
A. at 3 o. m, and at 4 p. m. she talked To
a large audience, composed OF several hun
bred, at the Fifth Ward market house.
After that service she again preached to
another large audience at the Fourth
Street Church OF 1880. She begins to show
signs of exhaustion.
A description Of this remarkable woman
may not be devoid of interest She is
ABOUT five feet six inches in statue, rather
redundant, than delicate, in her physical
make up; has face full Of Joy and kind
ness for every one, her features indicating
that her heart is full of charity aud love
and that she is the right woman in the right
place. Sac laughs and smiles easily and
. great deal, viii e she is talking to her gu
licences. Everything about the weman Ia
sincere. This il ore OF the great secrets OF
her success as an evangelist. She deceives
no one, end every body has confidence in
her. Ia all shs says, there is something
that you always want to hear her tell
again Her magnetism in this respsct is
wonderful indeed. She never talks but
about one thing, and that is the salvation
of the soul. She has wonderful powers Of
endurance. and in addition to this, has
great Christian courage Nothing battles
or intimidstes her. She has accomplished
much good already in our city, and will
still continue on for few days longer.

pure generosity towards American nshermen
was really paving the way for shrewd trade
and new treaty. A regular understanding be-
tween himself and Mr.. Bayard was reduced to
writing, showing that he receiv ed large con-
sderation for leaving the British waters open
to American fishermen six months longer The
consideration was pledge from Mr.. Bayard
under date of June 10Th, 1885, that the Pres
ident would at the next session of Congress
recommend the appointment of Commission
in which the Governments of the United
States and Great Britain shall be respectively
represented charged with the consideration
and settlement upon just, equitable and
honorable basis of the entire questions of the
fishing rights of the two Governments and
Of their respective citizens on the coasts OF
the United States and British North America"
The stipulation definite and reduced to
writing that an rieO and IN consideration of
such pr omised recommendations by the Prcsi
dent" the British would for the ensuing six
months enforce no restrictive regulations
against American fishermen In addition to
all this Mr.. Bayard gave significant intima-
ton to Mr.. West that the refunding of duties
meanwhile collected under our custom laws
upon Canadian fish might be brought before
the Commission thus promised.
Accordingly, in the following December, six
and half months after Mr.. Bayard's memo
randum pledge that the President would make
the recommendation to Congress, the Presi-
dent actually did incorporate it in his annual
message and gave it in language which was
transcript rerbatime of the words which Mr..
Bayard gave to Mr.. West. Itwould certainly
be apart from my desire to pass any personal
criticism upon the President, of whom | wish
at all times to speak in terms Of respect but,
viewing this as public question and speak
ing only with the freedom of private citi-
zen, | must express my belief that this
transaction was throughout most extraordna-
ry and unprecedented 1t was extrao Urinary
and unprecedented and altogether beyond his
proper power for a Secretary of State in the
recess of Congress to revive any part of
treaty which Congress had expressly termin-
ated; it extraordinary for Secretary of
State to begin negotiations for the renewal of
a treaty which every department of Govern
ment had just united in annulling; it was
extraordinary for Secretary of State to en-
ter into trade with foreign Minister for
present benefit to be paid for by the future
action of the Government, land most of all was
it extraordinary that a pledge should be
given to a foreign Government that the
President of the United States should in the
future-more than a half year distant-make
specific recommendation, on specific sub
ject, in specific words t. the CDngr IS Of the
United States. That pledge was given and was
held in the British foreign office II London,
and it took from the President all the power
of reconsideration which the lapse of time
and the change of circumstances might sug-
gest AMI impose. 1t robbed the President
pro hdc uice of his liberty as ar executive.
He was no longer free to iasert in his annual

discussion, maintained with signal ability by
Edward Everett, our Minister at London,
Lord Aberdeen-a name identified with JUS
tce and magnanimity in more than one gener-
ation-then at the head of the British Foreign
Office, acknowledged that the ground taken
by England in regard to the Bay of Fundy
was indefensible, the Canadian position was
reversed and the Bay was re-opened to Amer
lean fishermen
But the design of coercing the United
States into opening her markets to Canadian
fishermen was not abandoned. IL 1852 q
fresh and determined series of hostilities was
begun against American fishermen. a naval
force was sent out from England and thu whole
coast of Nova Scotia was guarded by the guns
ofthe Royal Navy-thirteen war vessels patrol
ing the fishing grounds. 1t was again pro
claimed that the three mile limit of the Treaty
Of 1918 was not three miles from the shore,
but three miles outside Of line from head
land to headland Of bays. This construction
of the Treaty would place the American fish
ermen in many places thirty miles from shore,
instead of three, as provided by treaty. Mr..
Everett had pertinently reminded the British
Government that by this construction ''the
waters which wash the entire South Eastern
Coast of Nova Scotia from Cape Sable to
Cape Canso-a distance of nearly three hum
dreI miles-might constitute bay from which
the United States fishermen would be ex-
cluded." In other words, the argument of
Mr.. Everett showed that the British construc-
ton, il admitted, would destroy all American
rights intended to be guarded and guaranteed
under the provisions of the Treaty.
When the attempt of 1852 was made to en-
force the ''headland" construction of the
Treaty, Mr.. Webster was Secretary of State,
in the Administration of Mr. Fillmore. In
an official paper over his own signature, Mr..
Webster recorded his opinion that the British
construction Of the Treaty rs not conform
05{e TO the attentions of the contracting
partieS' Those are weIghy words, and
spoken by MIR. Webster, they give an almost
auth rltatve construction to the treaty. It
is Certainly not discourteous or inyilious TO
say that in legal ability, especially "a points
both of Constitutional and International Law,
Mr.. Webster's opinion is entitled to more
weighty consideration than that of any British
official who was then dealing or who has since
dealt with the fishery question.
Mr. Nebsters official proclamation, from
which have quoted, was issued on the 6ta
Of July, 1862 A fortnight later he addressed
a large audience from the front door Of his
house at Marshfed, and then he spoke wiz
entire freedom. "The treaty of l8l8,' said
Mr.. Webster, was made with the Crown of
England. Ii au American fishing vessel is
captured by one of her vessels of war, the
Crown of England is answerable; but it is
not to be expected that the United States will
submit their rights to be adiudicated in the
petty tribunals of the Provinces, or that we
shall allow our own vessels to be seized by
constables and other petty officers. and con-
demned by the municipal courts of Quebec
