THE TREATY'S TERMS.
Privileges Conceded to
American Fishermen.
OUR RIGHTS WE'LL PROTECTED
No Changes Necessary in the Tar
iff System-COmments in
Canada.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
WASHINGTON, February 16.-The
fisheries treaty was the subject of much
speculation and discussion at the capi-
tai to-day. While declining to give any
specific information as to its provi-
sions, Secretary Bayard tonight said
to an Associated Press reporter, that
for many years the great contentious
among American fishermen have been
for fair and just construction of the
treaty OF 1918, and that the present
treaty had been framed by the Ameri-
can negotiators with a view to meet
the needs and necessities of the Amer
ican fishermen, and he believed that
if the treaty is ratified that end will
have been accomplished.
From trustworthy source it is
learned that American fishermen are
secured in all the commercial privil-
eges for which they have been con-
tending, with the exception of the
right to purchase bait in Canadian
water, which is expressly withheld.
Their right to touch at Canadian ports
for fuel, water and repairs is conceded.
Certain bays which are specified
are to remain under the exclusive
jurisdiction of Canada. There is
nothing in the provisions Of the
treaty, it is said, which necessitate
the removal OF the duty on Canadian
fish or in any way changes the
American tariff system. In its i'm
portant features, the treaty, it is
stated, is favorable to the United
States, and while new and valuable
privileges have been acquired, this
has been done without any costly
sacrifice on the part of the Americans.
Secretary Bay ard said tonight that
the published reports purporting to
give the essential features of the
treaty were unauthorized and wholly
wrong.
The American negotiators left for
their homes to-day. Sir Charles Tup-
per and Mr.. Chamberlain will remain
in Washington for few days longer,
the latter expecting to sail for Eng
land in about week.
OPINION IN CANADA.
