THE House Pacific Railroad committee has had submitted to them the modifca- tions in the Outhwaite funding bill. The only change of moment is a proposition to fix the payments to be made by the com pany upon it's debt at one-tenth of 1 per cent for the first five years, and one-half of instead of uniform payment for the first ten-year period of one-third of 1 per cent

nearly year. A bountiful picnic dinner
was served in due time, which was keenly
relished and much enjoyed. After dinner a
snort service, consisting of prayer and song,
anu snort speeches. OF congratulation to Mr..

Destroying Nets,

Captain Joyce was asked yesterday morn
ing about recent sensational report from
Halifax to the effect that American vessels
had deliberately destroyed the nets of Can
adam fishermen and stolen the fish in the
nets. The report referred to says that the
steamer Novelty was one of the American
vessels guilty of these acts of piracy. Capt
Joyce says that so far as the Novelty is con-
cerned there is no truth In the report what
ever, and that he has no knowledge of any
such piracies committed by any other vessel.
As for destroying nets by running them down,
as was charged, that is the last thing
steamer would be likely to do for fear Of foul
ing and damaging the propeller.
The Halifax papers received yesterday dis
close the sensational character of the reports,
and give as the opinion of the fishermen that
the nets have been run down by coasting
vessels aud not By Yankee fishermen. The
loss Of nets and gear is said to have been
