OUR CANADIAN TROUBLES.

Understanding.

A Movement which Looks as Though the
Two Governments Had an Amicable
Understanding.
HALIFAX, N. S., Dec. 11.-An important
move in the practical settlement of a vital
point in the fisheries controversy was
made here on Saturday.
The Gloucester schooner Nabarton, Capt.
Campbell, arrived from the Banks with a
cargo of halibut. Under the treaty of1SS1
Capt. Campbell decided to land part OF his
cargo here, enter it at customs, pay the
duty, and tranship the balance to Boston.
He landed 5000 pounds of packed fish on
a public sharf, right under the nose Of the
customs officers, delivered it to Phelan &
Son, agents for the Boston, Halifax and
Prince Edward steamship line, who ship
ped it for Boston.
Consul General Phela2 frankly admitted
that the transhipment had taken place,
and said the fact spoke for itself. The
shipment was not made under modus
viyendi, but under rights claimed by the
United States under bonding arrangements
OF the treaty of Washington.
1t is now known that Consul General
Phelan has been in constant telegraphic
communication with Secretary Bayard,
and the Dominion officials know all about
the transhipment, and the fact that they
have not interfered is taken as evidence
that the transhipment is made with the
appreciation of the Canadian Govern
ment, and that it betokens abandonment
OF the vital feature OF the Canadian po-
sition.

Andrew j. Davis Commences Suit Again

Andrew j. Davis Commences Suit Against
the County.
Wednesday afternoon a complaint wal
filed in the District Court by Messrs
Knowles&Forbis as attorneys for Al Davis
against Treasurer Kessle- to recover q Ger.
tain amount OF taxes paid by him to the
county recently. The complaint sets forth
that the plaintiff paid to the defendant as
treasurer and collector of Silver Bow coun'
ty what the defendant claimed as a tax
| upon $50 shares of the capital stock OF the
First National Bank of Butte. the sum o.
$13, 1880; that said bank is a nationa.
bank, organized under and by virtue of the
laws OF the United States, and is engaged
in doing business as such in Butte; that
the par value of said stock is 500 pei
| share; that the said claimed tax is illega.
AMI void on the following grounds:
Because the stock should have been list
| ed and valued, and the value fixed on the
LIST day of June, 1888, by the Assessor o
Silver Bow County, whereas it was not
listed on that day, but on the I'd day o
August, 1888, by the Assessor.
That at the time it was assessed the As
SCISSOR valued the same at 5000 per share
and after the assessment roll had beer
made out and certified the Assessor, con
spring with the County Commissioners to
increase the assessed value OF said stock
and the tax thereon, without notice tC
plaintiff, erased the value placed upon saiC
stock at the time the same was listed in tht
property of the plaintiff and valued the
same at $5S7.S2 per share, and alsoeraseC
| the amount placed in he assessment rol
and placed therein the sum OF $5S7.S2 al
the value thereof. That plaintiff was moi
fully informed Of these acts OF the Asses
sor at the time he paid the tax.
That the value to which che stock was
increased was much in advance OF the
actual cash value thereof which is about
| the sum of $500.
That the tax law makes @ discrimination
between the holders OF such as compared
with moneyed capital otherwise invested il
the Territory.
That it is contrary to the law OF TIT
United States.
That the tax was a lien upon his rea
estate and defendant threatened to seiz
the same and sell it for the tax ii not paiC
| which compelled plaintiff to pay the tax tC
preserve his real estates title from cloud
but under protest.
The summons was served on Treasures
Kessler yesterday afternoon.

clare q general boycott on the s.Q.n freight.
II this boycott is declared it is said the
switchmen will seek to defeat the engineers
and charge them with trSachery in having
induced them to strike last spring, and
then leaving them in the lurch. There are
still LOCO idle switchmen, and they have
held several meetings, at the last OF which
they appointed a committee to wait upon
the Burlington officials and ask for restora-
tion to their old places. A reply is ex-
pected from Superintendent Besler.
The general grievance committee of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers is
now in Chicago with the single exception OF
Chairman Kaveneer, who is en- route from
San francisco.
The feeling is stated to be very bitter be-
tween the engineers ard firemen here, and
this has extended to other roads terminal
ing in Chicago. This condition OF affairs is
SAID to be welding a powerful influence
against the proposed scheme of the general
federation OF railway employees which had
been under discussion for some time.

BOSJON,S LIVELY ELECTION.
Catholic and Anti-Catholic Pitted Against
Each Other.

BosroN, December 11.-Yesterday's cleo
tion closed as one OF the most exciting
municipal campaigns ever held in this city.
Bitter personalities have characterized all
sides, and especially has this been the case
in the discussion OF the public school ques-
ton, the principal issue OF the campaign.
This issue was brought before the peo-
pie last summer by the school board in the
removal from the public schools OF p GER
tain textbook which contained statements
distasteful to the Catholic clergy. Believ-
ing that in this action they saw an entering
wedge by which Catholic supremacy in the
control of the public Shoots was to be
ultimately obtained, friends OF the public
schools have held frequent meetings to pro.
test AGAINST such interference, and public
feeling had been wrought up to the highest
pitch.
A MASS EXITING WAS HELD,
and as an outcome a committee OF 100, ir.
respective OF party, was appointed to pre-
mare n list OF school committees for election
hat should contain only the names OF per-
ons who were known to be friends to the

unusual interest in the question was
most notable among the woman, and il
shown by the fact, while only s37 women
wore registered for the municipal election
last wear. and only IT'S voted, the total
reSistration this year reached 2O,206.
The school board consists OF twenty.
,onr members, OF whom eleven wereelected
Yesterday. OF the thirteen members who
