VERY RETlcENT.
Canadian Government Omeials Won't
Speak OF the Proposed Action In the
Fishery Treaty,

Canadian Government Omeials Won't
Speak of the Proposed Action In the
Fishery Treaty.
OTTAWA. September 5.-Members of the
Government are very reticent as to what
line of action was mapped out at q special
meeting of the Cabinet, with reference to
the measures of retaliation President Cleve-
land has asked Congress to pass against
Canada. The greater part of the meeting
was devoted to discussing the alleged dis
elimination against citizens of the United
States in the use of Canadian canals Sew
eral members of the Cabinet have always
opposed the drawback system by which
Canadians have had an advantage, and
pressed their views very strongly in insist
ing that the obnoxious order, which pro-
vides rebate on all through freight to
Montreal, be Immediately withdrawn. Sir
John, however. took the view that such a
course just nov would be most humiliat-
ing. and would look as though the Govern
ment had been intimidated into repeating
it. The matter was allowed to remain in
abeyance until matters of greater import
ance hvae been discussed.
There is considerable discord in the cabi-
net and the members of the Government
are not pulling in the most harmonious
manner. The Governor General is expected
to arrive during the latter part of the week.
until which time no definite step will be
taken. Sir John feels rather elated over
the announcement that the British Govern
ment concur in. the view taken by his Gov
ernment. that Congress cannot abrogate
section % of the Washington treaty until
two years notice is given, without breaking
the treaty, and Lord Salisbury contends
that this notice was not given when the
fishery clauses of the treaty were termi-
mated

CAMP SHERIDAN, September 5.-Promptly
at O'Clock yesterday morning reveille
sounded at Camp Sheridan. and by SO clock
the boys were through breakfast and there
was q general hustle and rush to pack up
preparatory to breaking camp. The scene
was most animated one, orderlies rushina
hither and thither, while the soldiers. With
coats off, packed their belongings and tent
ornamentations. Finally nearly every.
thing but the tents themselves had been
stored in wagons and scores of them could
be seen going either to the station or turn
pike. loaded up with camp equipage Of
everp description.
Before long the signals for dropping tent.
were given and in a very short time the
thousand or more tents were laying fiat on
the ground. The were neatly folded and
piled, and beautiful Camp Sheridan was o
thing Of the past, except for the first Regi.
ment tents, which were left. as that regi.
ment did not leave until to-day, and went
back TO the camp after the parade. Camp
having been struck the regiments took up
their lines of march to the station, while
the artillery marched TO the turnpike, as il
was thought best not TO take them in on
the trains.
Long files of soldiers, all in q jolly good
humor, stood at the station and extended
back into the woods awaiting their trains
which soon bore them to the city. Trains
were run every few minutes, and Camp
Sheridan by nine o'clock presented very
deserted appearance. The Cleveland troop
of cavalary rode through the city and re-
ported at the State House for orders.
The camp has been one OF the most sue
cessful on record, and every one left mon

A pESPERADo'S DEED.


Old.Blooded Killing of q Pittsburg
wstchman by Notorious Tough.
PIrTsBuRe. Pa, September 5.-A cow
ardly murder occurred in Allegheny City.
yesterday morning at 80 clock, when
Private Watchman William Miller was
shot and almost instantly killed by a col
ored carriage driver named Denny. The
shooting occurred near the cyclorama
building. for which Miller is private watch
man. Denny, who is q small deformed
man and q notorious character, had been
attending colored ball. While returning
home, in company with white woman,
he was found by Miller near the cyclorama
building On asking his business there.
Denny replied, with an oath, that he
wanted no interference from q white man.
The officer drew his billy, tapped on
Denny's shoulder and warned him to walk
on quietly. As quick as flash, the muir
derer drew revolver and shot the officer
in the stomach, who sank to the ground
with groan.
PatrOln,an Fitzgerald, Of Pittsburg, who
was in the vicinity looking for pick
pocket, heard the shot, and rushed up to
Miller, who with difficulty told who the
murderer was. Miller was removed to the
Allegheny general hospital, dying a. soon
as received. Fitzgerald started in pursuit
of Denny, who took to the parks on COM
ing up to him. The man fired several
shots Ftzgeral dropped to the ground
and each time returned the fire. Denny
essayed to jump a Western avenue car,
when he was arrested by Officer Dave
Speer, while Fitzgerald, coming up, wrested
the smoking revolver from Denny's hand.
He was taken to the Central station.
The murderer has no relations in Pitts
burg. His parents reside in Chicago. The
murdered man was forty years OF age, and
had and excellent character and was an
efficient officer. He was employed by
wealthy residents in that part of the city
as . private watchman. He leaves two
children and . wife. The latter is dying
of consumption. She is prostratsd By the
blow.

srnff,ent and chairman OF the Committee
on Ways and Means brings forward
measure to do what2 Why TO make free
xrticles which Canada sends to the United
States and on which the United States and
on which last wear 81. 500, 00o of duty were
paid Let me add, said Mr.. Hit, that he
not only introduced the bill, but he
pressed it through the House. He kept
Mr.. Bayard's word TO the letter. The
Democratic party stood by It's bargain with
the British plenipotentiary.
Mr.. Hit then went into an exhaustive
argument TO show that article % of the
treaty of 1871 had not been abrogated. The
authority the President asked he possessed
already, for the retaliation act gave him
vast and enormous power by which he
might exclude not only Canadian vessels
from our ports and Canadian products
from our country, but any goods coming
from Canada OF foreign production. The
practical resdlt of an interruption of traffic
in bond would hurt the people of the
United States very materially especially
the people OF the great Northwest. Stop
the transit in bond and the Canadian rail-
roads would be overflowing with business.
The President had used the words: ''yis-
iting on the offending parties" The fish
ermen wore the offending parties. Stop
the transit in Aond and the offending par
ties wonld be rewarded and the harbois of
Halifax and st Johns would be turned into
prosperous centres of new life and wealth
He would take away the competition of
the Canadian lines and would make the
trunk lines master of the situation and
they would be able to dictate such terms
as they pleased with the produces of
the Northwestern States. He (Mr Hitt)
would not readily believe that the President
would ever subject unnecessarily large
part of the people to such retaliation upon
themselves
Mr.. Chapman, of Michigan, said he was
in favor of the bill. In alluding 70 the
suggestion that two years notice should be
given to England, of the proposed act as
matter of diplomatic courtesy, he gave ut
terance to the following epigram which was
received with applause and laughter: The
nearer a man approaches diplomat in
form, the nearer he is to fool: and the
nearer he approaches one in substance,
the nearer he is to a knave. He
did not want. he said, to be more
polite to England than self respect
required. Her foot had been on every
weak neck. She had pressed her interests
by brutality mc,nness of diplomacy, as the
circumstances of the case required. Every
where she had been selfish and pitiless.
She was the monster money changer in
Gods Temple of the Earth. What the
honor of our country required he would
concede to her, and not an atom more.
This bill was in the pathway of duty and
he would vote for it with stout heart and
clean conscience.
The House then at $40 adjourned. Mr..
Phelps and Mr.. Belriont will speak on the
subject to-day.
