Notes.

Senator Sherman was in his seat on.Thurs-
day for the first time since the publication
of the Blaine letter, and was greeted by Sem
ators Hale Hawlcy, Allison, Platte, Morrill,
Chandler and Hoar.
According to the Washington correspon-
dent of the Boston journal, there is reason
to believe that the fishery treaty contains on
" two propositions. |. The United States
surrenders the theory which it has held as to
marine league and boundaries, and has
agreed upon limits which give to Canada ex-
elusive jurisdiction over large part of the
BAYS which have hitherto been considered
available fishing grounds 2 Canada, in
return for this surrender of the United
States, grants to American vessels the right
to touch and trade in Canadian ports. There
is absolutely nothing in the treaty about re-
ciprocal trade OF as to the Behring Sea seal
controversy.
Secretary Bayard tonight said that for
many years the great contentious among the
American fisherman had been for fair and
just construction of the treaty of 1918 and the
present treaty had been framed by the Amer
lean negotiators. with a view to meet the
needs and necessities of our fishermen. He
believed if the treaty should be ratified that
the end would have been accomplished From
I
men have secured all the commercial privi-
leges for which they have been contending,
with the exception of the right to purchase
bait in Canadian waters, which is expressly
withheld. Their right to enter Canadian
/ ports for fuel, water and repairs, were con-
ceded. Certain bays specified are TO remain
under the exclusive jurisdiction of Canada.
/ There is nothing in the provisions of the
treaty which necessitates the removal of duty
Oh Canadian fish or in any way changes the
tariff system. In its important features the
treaty is favorable to the United States
While new and valuable privileges have
been acquired this has been done withou,
costly sacrifice on our part. The text of the
treaty is said to be four thousand woSds long
Bayard stated tonight that the published re-
ports purporting 10 give the essential features
of the treaty were unauthorized and wholly
wrong.
The American negotiators left for theil
homes today. Sir Chas. Tupper and Cham
berain will remain at Washington few days
longer. The latter expects to sail for Eng
land in about a week.
Sir Chas. Tupper said today; 1T mean,
the end of all,,hshery disputes, and the Ameri
can people will be satisfied I am assured
when the treaty is read by them"
The Canadian minister of justice said
IL am smiling broadly for the first time il
with each other and each side believes it ha,
just what it wants in the treaty"

Witnesses OF High Character and Stand
ing.

BANGOR, Feb. 16.
John Harvey, G. l.. Dodge, +. E. Mason,
A. b. Dyer, and Miss Cora Farrand. all of
Nedfeld, Mass, have arrived and will ap-
pear today before the grand jury for the
government, in the Stain and Cromwell case
The lady witness has not been mentioned be-
fore, as being connected with the case, save
incidentally, soon after the arrest of the
prisoners. At the time OF the tragedy she
was working in straw shop in Medfeid
boarding, as did several others, at the house
of Stain, and sleeping with Cora Stain. She
was at work near Norridgewock, in coat
shop. last fall, and there Sheriff Mitchell
met her. She is familiar with many of the
habits and secret signs of the Stain gang, al
though at the time she learned them, she had
no idea of their importance. Her testimony
is important.
1t is evident that the testimony of the
prosecution will not rest upon the evidence
alone of men who have led doubtful lives,
for the new Massachusetts men who have
come here to testify, are of high character
and standing.
Two of them are foremen in extensive
straw works, where hundreds of people are
employed, and where business ability, and
high moral character are the requisites. An
other is a carpenter who stands well among
his townsmen. Mr.. Dodge is witness who
will stand rigid cross examination and per-
sonal investigation, as he will give very im
portant testimony, which cannot be i'm
peached.
In regard to Fowler, Massachusetts, man
here who claims to know him, says that his
story that he does not know Stain, cannot be
true, and adds that he cannot be the rich and
influential man he is reported to be, bluntly
declaring him rather the opposite.
