IMPENDING TROUBLES.

The London NeaCS ridicules the argu-
ment that President Cleveland's Message
relative to the fisheries question is a
party move. He would not have recon-
mended retaliation unless he had regarded
it as the last alternative to the rejected
treaty. With reference to the Toronto
MATHS demand for customs union between
Canada and the United States, the NecS
says: 'It would be a strange and ironi
cal stroke of fortune should Mr.. Cham
berlain, who poses as an ardent imperl-
alist, have indirectly contributed, by his
recklessness and rancor to the detaching
of the Dominion from the sovereignty of
tue queen" News from Halifax is to
the effect that those who have contended
that Canada made too liberal concessions
to the United States, are pleased that the
fisheries treaty is rejected, but Others
who have desired an amicable settlement
of the disputes on almost any equitable
basis, express extreme anxiety over the
United States Senatc's action. All par
ties are unanimous in demai ding that the
nloduS UjUendi shall be Immediately re-
scinded and that the whole resources Of
the Dominion, if necessary, shall be
placed at the disposal of the marine de-
partment for the adequate, stern and UNI
yielding protection of Canada's fishing
grounds. Only those vessels which have
taken out licenses for the present season
will be allowed in Canadian ports, eX-
cept under the convention of 1918 In
all circles the gloomy feeling prevails
that serious troubles are impending. The
American fishermen Will not restrain
themselves from following the fish within
limit. If found tresspassing, the Cana
dian cruisers are bound to make cap
ture. The Canadian people feel that
they are backed by the whole resources
of the British empire. They say that the
British squadron stationed there ''could
blow up New York in four days, not
taking into consideration that the United
States has any navy, or that it possesses
the finest torpedo system in the world.
The Canadian Parliament, by its ratifca-
ton OF the treaty, has proposed liberal
concessions in the interest of peace. No
government could live in Canada that
would make a more complete abandon
ment of Canadian contentious. If there
is bloOdshed in consequence Of the Sen
ate's inscrutable action the responsibility
must rest with those who, by their gross
Misrepresentation Of the facts, have in
fuenced the Senate's action. The action
of the Senate persisted in, or even while
affairs remain in status quo, can scarcely
result otherwise than in violence, and for
this the United States must take the re-
Sponsibility in the eyes of the world.

A SIN ALL WAR.

A Trinidad, Col, special says: What
may prove a long and bloody struggle
opened to-day on the Maxwell Grant at
Stonewall. forty miles west of Trinidad.
The sheriff's posse sent to keep the peace
was met by armed settlers in numbers
estimated at from 200 to 500 men. The
settlers demanded the arms of the posse,
which demand was refused. The posse
took up quarters in the Pooler hotel, a
large frame building. The settlers en-
deavored TO force an entrance when the
posse opened fire. r. r. Russell, one Of
the oldest settlers, fell dead and two or.
three others were wounded, and the
building was soon riddled with bullets.,
The sheriff is gathering men in numbers
to 90 to t relief of the besieged posse
1t is believed that the building will BID
burned and a dozen besieged deputies
put to death. The settlers come from
