THE FISHERIES.
Mr.. Blaine Says 1t Should be Settled by
the New Administration.

Mr. Blaine Says 1t Should be Settled by
the New Administration.
New York, Sept 4.-The Mail and Express
correspondent at Ellsworth, Me-, has inter-
viewed Mr.. Blaine on the fisheries policy
with this result:
Mr.. Blaine said In effect that the fishing
season is over; nearly all the American ves-
sells have returned, and Canada will have
none to operate upon until the summer Of
1885, In the meantime, anything she may or
may not do is matter of supreme
indifference to the fishermen. Therefore it
is better not to clothe the present president
with any additional powers, since he has
showed his utter incompetency to deal with
the general subject, but let him carry out
the present law, as he is bound to do, and
this alone may bring Canada to her senses
and secure us justice at her hands For Re-
publicans to vote for the bill reported by
Mr.. Belmont's committee in the house OF
representatives would be a confession by
them that the presidents conduct in refusing
to carry out the present law was justified,
and would put power into his hands which
he would WELD for partisan purposes.
It is much better to let the matter lie over
till the new administration shall come in,
which will be better prepared to handle the
matter, free from the excitements of our
pending political contests and in ample time
to protect every interest. To allow the
president now to stop the export business of
Canada through the United States would
seriously interfere with several of our home
transportation lines, especially those leading
to Portland, and correspondingly depress the
entire commerce Of this port. It would also
afford Canada pretext for increasing her
demands in retaliation for such inhibition,
and render more difficult the general settle
ment by negotiation.

lures: In 1878 he married Josephine Gle
ments in Lowell She was sent to the women's
prison at Sherborn for a third offense
of drunkenness While she was there, in
1880, Brizzey married Elizabeth Williams, a
mulatto, now in custody. Their welded life
was interrupted by the police court justice,
who sent her to Sherborn for eighteen months
for stealing. Left again a widower, Brizzey
went to Lawrence and married Bernice Bow
ming in June, 1888, and she is now where the
other wives went, serving out term for
drunkenness. Brizzey is only 80 years old.

4444; Shurtleff, Dem, 1865; Seeley, Pro-, a.

gree, Rep, 1850; Redington, DEM, 2274; scat
tering, 81. This shows net Republican gain
of 452.

fessor T. G. OSullivan Of st. Joseph's

manning towns the Republican majority will

generally observed here yesterday than was
that Of last year. The business places were
largely closed, and the citizens of all classes
took an unusual interest in the occasion.

were those of last year. The forenoon was
given to the trades parade, the afternoon to
sports and picnics.
