The Senate then proceeded to the consid-

Teller in opposition to its ratification. He
said, the committee had not any reason to
suppose that Great Britain would deal fairly
with the United States, unless compelled to
do so by determination ON the part of the
United States, to insist upon compliance
with the terms of existing treaties. England
had never kept her engagements with any
people that was not ready and willing to
compel her to do so. Her conduct and di-
plomacy everywhere else, was against the
idea OF her conceding to American fishermen
that which they were entitled To

Almost, but not quite. A little long

lingering, hoping, almost praying; a
little more listening to unbelieving

faithful work, and a few more hard
earned dollars almost forced from the
pockets of the stock holders, and we
firmly believe the prospecting well will
develope deposits of sufficient value to
bring thousands of dollars into this
city and county, and hasten the de-
velopement of one of the finest terri
