CANADA.
New York, March 20.-Professo
Goodwin Smith Is here on his way to
Washington. He said, in an inter
view this afternoon: "There are
many Canadians, including myself,
who would like to see the fishery
question settled by broad measure
which would improve tue CONNER
cial relations between Canada and
the United States. The discussion
of a commercial union is going on in
the Canadian Parliament. but the
resolution in favor of unrestricted
reciprocity, brought forward by Sir
Richard Cartwright, will probably
be voted down by Government
majority"
Winnipeg, March 22.-Thc Sas-
katchewan "lIerald" again gives a
note of warning in the issue of this
week of the impending half-breed
troubles in the Northwest. 1t says
the Indians are becoming much
more communicative and talk freely
OF the coming revolt, but while
doing so, say that whatever trouble
comes will not be of their own caus-
ing. They say the half-breeds tell
them they must rise and they are
afraid they will have to do as they
are bldden. Some others say they
will only take up arms in the event
of an uprising in the south, an event
which they are pretty sure will oc-
cur, when they feel bound TO 90 to
their assistance. 1t is not claimed
| by the Indians that the half breeds
are seeking to secure any further
"rights" but are hankering after
revenge for their former defeat.
Ottawa, March 15.-It is rumored
that the Government has come to-an
agreement with Premier Gfeenway
Of Manitoba and and The Canadian Paci-
tic Railway, by which the latter dis
poses of its monopoly clause for
SIP, 900, portion of which is
to be paid by the Province and the
rest by the DOMINION Government
Victoria, March l6.-The schooner
Sapphire, Captain Petit, cleared for
Behring Sea this morning. She will
go into the sea with a crew of sixty
Indians from the west coast of Van
couver Island. Captain Petit had
command of the schooner Grace,
seized last year, and with difficulty
kept his Indians from firing on the
officers of the American cutter at
the time of the seizure. During the
past winter, through the loss at the
time of the seizure, the Indians have
been reduced TO starvation and they
state that if any attempt is made to
molest them this year they will fire
on the crews of cutters. AS all are
armed with Winchester rifles 1t can
be surmised in case of collision that
bloodshed will result. The suffer,
ing of the Indians during the winter
has been severe, and as they are in
q comparatively uncivilized state
trouble is to be feared if the same
policy pursued last year is followed
by the American authorities. There
has been considerable additions tc
the sealing fleet this year, and nearly
all will clear for Behring Sea as soon
as they return from the coast catch
Sealers are eXasperated over The
losses and the delay in settling the
dispute, and there will be armed re-
sistance made in more cases than the
Sapphire in the event of any pirati
cal attack such as last year.
