On elaine's Letter-Papers Have Mik-
quoted Him.
WASHINGTON, February l6.-Represen-
tative Boutwell, says the. newspapers have
generally misquoted him as to his inter-
probation of Mr.. Blaine's letter.
"Mr. Blaine was in no way influenced
to write that letter by an uufavorahle
condition of health, forI know his health
to be excellent. The letter simply means
the release of Mr.. Blaine's friends from all
obligations to support him in the conyen-
tion or elsewhere. 1t leaves them to act
free and unhampered. l did not say, and
I will not say, that it takes him out Of
tue line of Presidential possibilities. 1t
does not even intimate that If ne is uomi-
mated he will not be his psrty's candidate.
The letter merely states thst his Fame will
not be presented upon his authority at the
convention.
81 stand in the same attitude as to his
candidacy now as I stccd before the let
ter was written. / see nothing now in
either the wording OF in the spirit of Mr..
Blaine's letter which forbids his nomina-

FISHERY TREATY.

Americans Gaiu Important CONCESSIONS
From Canada.
WASHINGTON, d. G., February 10
The Fisheries treaty which was signed
last evening was the subject of much spec,
ulation and discussion at the capital to-day.
From trustworthy source, it is Learned
that to our Fishermen are secured all the
commercial privileges for which they
have been contending, with the exception
of the right to purchase bait in Canadian
waters, which is expressly withheld. Their
right to enter Canadian ports for fuel,
water and repairs is conceded. Certain
bays which are specified are to remain
under the exclusively jurisdiction Of
Can&da.
There is nothing in the provisions Of tbs
treaty, it is said, which necessitates the
removal of the duty on Canadian fish, or
in any way changes our tariff system. In
its important features the treaty, it is
stated, is favorable to the United States,
and, while new and valuable privileges
have been acquired, this has been done
without any costly sacrifice on our part.

states that be was ont q great deal at night

The night of the Smell murder the man
was ont and returned three or four hours
before daylight. Early that same morning
he went away, informing the landlady
that he would be absent for two or three
weeks, requested that his room be kept for
him and that no one be allowed to fool

tiC VI hp
police we're at once notified and since fhaA
time have been quietly working to trace
and arrest Cartwright.
The connecting link between this young
man and the Shell b may be in the tact
that man answering the description OF
the missing lodgsr is said to have called on
Mr.. Smell three or four days before the
murder on the pretense of desiring to Sc.
cure loan on some property. This would
have afforded an opportunity Of looking
the ground oyer and observing something
OF Mr.. Snell's, methods. An excellent Dc
scription of him has been obtained and be
is thought to Ne still in hiding in this city.
II he is caught within day or two it is
probable that the circulars which have
been mailed broadcast offering reward Of
IS, 900 for his arrest may resul in his ulti,
mate capture.
