A DELUsION AND A SNARE,
Senator Dawes Bold Assault Upon the
Fisheries Treaty.

,CopUig 1883. Js The ifor,ia A,sociated Press
WASHINGTON, July 23d-Senator Dawes
OF Massachusetts addressed the Senate to-
day on the subject of the fisheries treaty.
Going back TO the colonial history, he
showed that the New Englanders, by their
part in the wars with France, secured fish
ing grounds for England, and that alone
should give them the privilege to fish un-
restricted. He said that il the present
treaty went into effect the map of the fish
ing grounds would show additional grounds
barred TO American fishermen. The treaty
of 1913 was hard bargain, and those who
were most concerned were willing to abide
by it, but preferred rather to recover
grounds lost than to submit to the expert
ment of new Administration in a field
where so few laurels were won. He thought
the treaty was entirely unsatisfactory. 1t
was one of mutual concessions, and there
should have been no concessions from our
negotiators.
He could not believe it treaty in the
interest of peace, tor it was not what it
pretended to be, and we could not shut our
eyes TO the peculiar way in which it was
negotiated. He criticised the action of the
President in ignoring the Senate his con-
stitutional advisors, in appointing the Com
missioners, and the latter in Withholding
information from the Senate. No secrecy
was kept, according to Sir Charles Tupper,
by any except the United States Commits
sloners. He was surprised that Secretary
Bayard should have made so bold state
ment that England had surrendered head
land. He thought Sir Charles Tupper
should be thanked by the Americans for
giving the Americans the only Information
on which they could base their views.

THE MISSISSIPPI PLAN.
How ColOred Voters Were Kept from the
Polls BY Whites

WASHINGTON, July 23d.-Senator Wilson
of Iowa submitted to the Senate to-day the
majority report of the Judiciary Committee
on the Jackson, Miss, election riots. 1t
says There was suppression of the votes
OF colored citizens at the recent municipal
election in Jackson, Miss. The suppression
was not partial. but total. No colored citi-
zen voted at said election
The report recites the suppression of the
colored vote, and finds that the resolution
OF the colored men to abstain from voting
was due to terrorism inspired by the action
OF the White League and of the committee
appointed by it. The testimony taken
shows that Samuel Livingstone, Deputy
United States Marshal, r. + Wilson, a
Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue, and
two other persons engaged in the civil
service of the United States, were active
participants in the proceedings which re-
suited in the suppression of votes.
The committee further submits resolu-
ton for adoption condemning the conduct
OF the officers mentioned, and expressing
the opinion that they should be dismissed
from the public service.

by the fallingwater.
Seventy-odc' men were in the mine at
ohe time. and to save them was the one
thought OF th5se outside, aud, reckless of

After the tierciest of the fire was over

1t was that they found the main tunnel
strewn with the PROSTATE forms of the
would-be rescuers. They had been over

their testimony, refers particularly to her,
and was put in to get her into the Witness
box.
If she has forged the letter she will
naturally keep out of the way, but should
she appear some very interesting proceed

more acrimonious than ever the debate on
limiting the scope of the Commission, and,
as the Gladstonians all support ParnelIs

will pass.
The whereabouts and personality of the

failed to fix treachery on any attache of the
