request for information upon the fisheries

wiman has written the following letter:

EaIlor Mall Toronto:
In answer 10 your inquiry beg 10 say

could be arrived at under tho circum.
stances. While, at frst glance, Il might
be urged that the interests Of Canada had
been sacrificed, u will be- found. In the
long run, she will be gamer rather than
loser The rigid enforcement Of harsh
Interpretation Of the treaty Of 1878 had
produced nothing but retaliation, culmin-
ating In the passage Of the eliminating act.
Tho provisions Of the new treaty, ~ far
~ Understood here In Washington, will
tend 10 increase intercourse between the
two countries and remove an element OF
serious aud dangerous difference that was
steadily separating them and threatening
their peace. To accomplish q purpose No
important, Canada can we'll afford 10 Yield
all she will be called upon 10 weld
This IL especially the case when Il IL
understood that this settlement will onor-
nously improve the prospects oi CONNER.
cial union In the United States. Hitherto
one Of tho chief obstacles encountered 20
discussion OF closer commercial relations
between tho two countries has been the
attitude Of Canadians, denying privileges
10 American craft and American people
afforded 10 Canadian vessels and crews In
American ports 10 long ~ tho fishery
question Was unsettled and n possible
threat was implied oi forcing the Amcn-
can nation into reciprocal arrangements,
Just 10 long vas the policy Of force pos-
Tive barrier to favorable consideration.
The Americans are not the kind Of people
that are driven into arrangements Of this
character, they may be won and per.
suaded, but Canadian cruisers did more 10
postpone reciprocity than 10 promote H.
Advocates oi commercial union have
encountered this sentiment at every turn,
and iu existence had significant expfos-
sion in the last CLAUSE Of the Buiterworth
bill added since last session. Now, how
ever, that there II aprospect that by the
treaty this fishery question Is 10 be settled
and The Canadians sro about 10 afford 10
the people Of the United States almost the
same privileges a. they themselves enjoy,
this barrier 20 n favorable discussion of
commercial union is removed.
The next most yoxed question 20 be
adjusted Il the conflict now impending be.
tween the great railway systems Of the two
countries. The sncccss Of the $500 route
intensilles the fact that the Canadian roads
are free from the cxactions Of the inter

west. This condition Of things seriously
threatens tho repeal Of the bonding system
by which, American produce is conveyed
through Canadian territory without pay
ment OF duty on its entrance INTO the
United States This repeal would mean
simply ruin 10 the Canadian roads. as
without through business they could not
pay their fixed charges. II has been sug-
gcsted that Mr.. Buttcrworth might, with
propriety, omit the clause referring 10 the
fisheries, now likely TO be settled
by the treaty, and substitute another
clause which would invite concur
rent legislation on the part of Canada,
creating provisions similar in that country
TO the operation of the interstate act in
this, 80 far us il affects through traffic, in
which alone the United States is inter
ested. This movement would secure the
support of the vast railroad interests
threatened in the United States, and il
would also secure the advocacy OF the

The Career of a wIId Train.

MARQUETTE, Mich, Feb. 17.-Iast even,
ing copper train OF thirty cars on the
Duluth & Lake Shore road, got out OF con-
troll Of the men at the Prince mine, five
miles above this city, and came laundering
down the heavy grade at the rate Of over a
mile minute. The shrieks Of the loco
motive whistle caused thousands to rush
out Of doors, all knowing well what was the
trouble. In four minutes after the engineer
blew the first danger whistle that his train
was running away FIVE miles above, and
that the track must be left clear for him to
make the run through the city or % into
lake Superior, the train came laundering
down through the yards. The big mogul
engine kept up its shricks and the rush OF
the cars shook the earth, while the train
seemed a sheet OF flames from the fire
caused by the friction of the smoking
brakes. Nine cars OF heavy timber were
in the train, and Mt the third crossing the
timbers began to fly. They shot through
the air like lightning in all directions.
Buildings were demolished and cars thrown
from the track in every direction. Three cars
heldto the engine and dragged fourth with
timbers caught under the wheels. The
engine stopped within 200 feet Of the sharp
curve, which would surely have thrown Il
into the lake. For three blocks timbers
and car trucks and cars are scattered. Two
streets are blockaded. The engineer and
fireman stuck TO their posts. One brake
man jumped in the dark, not knowing he
was in tho city, so swift was the rush OF
the train. lie was saved by being thrown
into an immense snowdriit. The conduc-
tor and ether brakemen cut loose the ca
boose aud escaped. IL is marvellous that
the only loss of life was Gov. Swineiord' 3
great Newfoundland dog which was killed
by one Of the flying timbers. .

dent lie said: 81 had q conversation

| thought our bin ought 10 pass. His
views on pension questions satisfied INC
entirely, and | have the impression that
when our bin Is laid before him he will

he made no promises whatever. / think
the majority Of the soldiers who will be
benefited by this bill are men who fought
throughout the war-men who had the
sand tossed upon every hardship, and
who, u they did feel sick and worn out,
were kept at their posts. They were men
whose constitutions we're broken while
discounting the future. Such men are
now suffering disabilities directly tracea-
bic 10 the war. Though they have no
hospital record. they oaght 10 be helped.

OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. 1.-THE Fee Press
(Liberall, which is opposed to the govern
ment, under the heading ''IIcaty of
Capitulation," says
at is announced by telegram from
Washington that treaty was signed by
the fisheries commissioners yesterday even
ing, and that its contents would be made
known at once. From the remarks cred
tied TO Secretary Bayard II looks very
much as II the treaty amounted TO a
complete surrender TO tho Americans. Sir
Charles Tupper appears TO have held out
until the ringing Of the second bell but
pressure from Chamberlain probably
caused him 10 cave in at last, and TO

TO be the case, II involves the surrender
Of Canada's rights without compensation. "
