from this privilege which they always
have had. They object to paying 81 80
for licenses for privileges which they
claim the treaty of 1918 has already
given them. The opinion of many
persons who have been discussing the
subject is that an indignation meeting

MITCHELL TALKS.
He Is Not Afraid of Sullivan, and
Only Asks a Square Deal.

LONDON, Feb. 22.-Sporting Life
prints letter from Charles Mitchell de-
nying the truth of certain statements
alleged to have been made by John L.
Sullivan in letter recently published
in America. He has not, he SAYS,
offered 1000 to party of roughs to pre-
vent Sullivan winning; nor has lie
placed any stumbling block in the way
of the contest being fairly decided. The
gentlemen who will accompany Mitchell
to the battle ground are well known, he
asserts, and he is willing to name them.
Ii Sullivan objects to any one of the ten
names. Mitchell is willing to scratch it
from the list. He expects Sullivan to
cOncede him similar privilege, as he,
Michel, desires to extend and receive
fair play. The statement attributed to
Sullivan, that Mitchell does not intend
meeting him, is characterized as too
mean to be denied. He is not afraid to
meet Sullivan and he will try to prove
to the world that Sullivan is not the
terror his scribbling friends would make
him out to be. According to them, Sui
Ivan would gain no glory by defeating
Mitchell, and if the fight goes their way,
the American will be laughed at.
Mitchell assures his hackers that he will
''be there" and will not place anything
in the way of the fight being concluded.

Dies MONIES, Feb. 22.-On account of
the strike of the Ministerial association,
none of the representatives of that body
were present this afternoon, and the
house was opened without prayer.
There appeared instead a series of
whereases and resolutions stating that
the resolution adopted by the house on
Friday, making inquiry why the CathO-
lie clergy were Disseminated against in
the assignment of ministers as chap
lainS, did not suit them, and they washed
their hands of the entire matter as an
association. and that the members
would only appear and pray upon invi-
tatlOn. The house took no action, and
proceeded to business without the
Divine supplication. The house rail
way bill was taken up, and in two
hours seven of the thirty-two sections
were disposed of. There were very few
alterations made in the sections passed,
the principal work done being in the
line of correcting the syntaX. Mr.. Cum
minis expressed the opinion that, as in
trOduced. the first section applies to
drays, transfer companies, stages, bus
lines, ETC., and offered an amendment
making it clear as to railway cQmpan
les, but the grangerS rallied, and of
Tered such strenuous opposition that
the amendment was withdrawn. The
progress made to-day indicates greater
speed in diSpOSing of the bill than was
anticipated at first.

CANADA'S LAMENT.
Substantially the Americans Have
Won Their Case.

TORONTO, Feb. 22.-The Mail Qnde-
pendenO, commenting on the fishery
treaty. says: Substantially the Ameri-
cans have won their case. Mr.. Bayard
fell heir TO a question. solution of
which had befell several generations of
British and American statesmen. Under
his direction it has at length been
brought to termination which must
be satisfactory to every American. since
it secures to the Urited States substan-
TALLY all that the United States has ever
asked. Canadian fishermen receive no
sort of equivalent for the concessions
made to Americans, except the barren
privilege of fishing in American bays.
In his message transmitting the treaty
to the senate, President Cleveland APP
pears to talk almost directly in favor of
the establishment of closer trade rela-
tons between the two countries.
The Empire Government organ says;
GrumblerS will, no doubt, find fault
with the details, but reasonable men on
both sides of the liue will rejoice that a
question giving rise to so much inter
national feeling bids fair to be removed
from the arena of controversy, and that
the neighborly feeling and good will
which ought to prevail between people
in such intimate relations will again
hold sway.

"A Scheme to Lessen the Distance
Between Lakes Superior and
Michigan

"A Scheme to Lessen the Distance
Between Lakes Superior and
Michigan.
EsCANABA, Mich, Feb. 22.-Some
months ago plan was conceived where
by the distance by water from ports on
Lake Michigan to Lake Superior points
could be reduced about 800 miles. A
party of capitalists considered the
feasibility of the project and about de-
cided to carry the plans into execution.
For unknown reasons, however, the
matter assumed no definite shape. The
proposed plan was to construct canal
connecting the two great bodies of
water from the head of Big Bay de Noe
in Lake Michigan to South Bay in Lake
Superior. The distance is forty miles. 1t
is now automatically stated that New
York and Minneapolis capitalists have
revived the project, and that a survey
will soon be made locating route, with
a view TO commencing the construction
of what would prove an important
waterway. Competent engineers, whose
attention has been directed to the plan,
pronounce it perfectly feasible. Chi
cago, Milwaukee, Duluth and Marquette
would be particularly benefited by the
proposed canal. The distance would
be reduced fully one day Besides, the
dangerous passages through the straits
of Mackinac and the $500 would be
avoided. The estimated cost of the
canal is S5,0O0,000, and if sufficient CAPT
tai can lie secured and the plan meets
the expectations of those interested, the
work will soon be inaugurated. Vessel
owners and captains speak highly of
the scheme. and pronounce it grand
achievement if perfected.
