THE FISHERIES TREATY.
Various Opinions Expressed by Cana
dian Politiciana

OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. ~.
In the Senate today referring to the fishery
treaty clause in the Governor Generals speech
Senators Ross Quebec aud Sanford (iism-
ilton( both said they look upon il as the
means by which the vcxing fisheries question
can be set at rest forever. Scott, the
opposition leader said he could not accept
the solution of the fisheries question, pro-
vided by Chamberlains treaty, in the spirit
suggested in the Governor Generals speech.
The friction between the two countries has
been intensified by the ineonguous document
concocted in Washington. Instead Of sending
to England for a diplomat who came out
with the sole object of insuring peace be-
tween Great Britain and the United States,
an honorable and chvalrous course for
Canada would have been TO have granted
freely and voluntarily these concessions to
the United States and TO have told the people
OF that great country, I'VE want to deal with
You without Intervention of British plcnipo-
tentaries, who could say anthoritively where
privileges granted under clause IL should be
ended. The language of the clause was 10
dubious he believed that before l2 months
would be found an Interpretation clause
which would give rise TO most angry con-
tention. Ii was doubtful how the United
States Senate would deal with the treaty,
particularly in view of its recent action on
extradition. In throwing out the eItradtion
treaty the United States Senate lowered
itself in the eyes of the world.
Power of Halifax said that looking at the
treaty MS whole, it was not one that could
be viewed with much satisfaction by Canadi-
ans. Canada had given upa great many
privileges which American fishermen had
been anxious to get. He looked upon Arti-
Gle IL as only proper The American fish
crmen should certainly carry with them
some indication of their character Article
II is not unreasonable. Article 10, II il ever
went into effect, ought not to be bad thing.
He regretted however. that by the conccs-
sions which the Canadian government had
made they had thrown away the only lever
by which reciprocal trade with the United
States could be secured
In the Commons today, only incidental
references were made to the treaty. Sir
John Mcdonald said that the treaty should
be carefully discussed, and he would COM
muncate with the opposition AS to the time
to discuss IL.
