The dispute between the Canadian and
American fisherman appears to have been
settled in manner satisfactory to both
Canada and the United States by the
treaty Just agreed upon by the representa-.
tiVes of both countries. Although the
treaty will not at present be made public,
it can be stated it relates exclusively to
the disputes concerning the fisheries of
the north Atlantic coast, aud does not in
clude any provisions concerning the
Behring sea trouble or commercial recip-
rocitY. Tho treaty, it may also be added,
does not contemplate the admission of
fish into the United States free of duty.
Under the terms of the treaty, it is
said, the privileges enjoyed by American
and Canadian fishermen will be entirely
reciprocal The "touch and trade" priv.
lege, purchasing supplies and selling carr
goes to whoever might desire to purchase
was conceded though not until after long
opposition by Sir Charles Upper. On
the other hand, it is said, Canadian
waters within the three. mile limit are
protected from invasion by American
fishermen, The American commission
ers. it is said, surprised the English COM
mssioners by not insisting on right to
tlsh within the limit. The eastern fish
ermen consider the deep water fishing
more profitable than that of the shoals
within the limit In considera
ton of the tough and trade" con.
cession, it is said the English commission
ers stipulated that license should be ex.
acted from American vessels trading in
Canadian ports This license is to be
adjusted to the form of tonnage tax,
and the entire feature, it is agreed, will
be abolished upon the placing OF fish on
the free list by the United States.
The treaty will not, Of course, go into
effect until it receives the assent of the
queen of Great Britain, the dominion of
Canada and the senate of the United
States; but as it appears to be fair and
equitable settlement of vexed question
that has threatened to disturb the friendly
relations of this country and Great
Britain for nearly a century, there should
be no doubt of its ultimate ratification.
