TORONTO, February 25.-The Nail, indie
pendent, commenting on the fishery treaty,
says substantially: The Americans have
won their case. Mr.. Bayard fell heir to q
question, solution of which has bafll I'd
several generations of British and Ameri-
can statesmen. Under his direction IL has
at length been brought to q termination
which must be satisfactory 10 every Amer
ican, since ii secure to the United States
substantially all the United States has ever
asked. Canadian fishermen receive no sort
of equivalent for the concessions made to
the Americans, except the barren privilege
Of fishing in American bays. In his mes
sage transmitting the treaty to the Senate,
President Cleveland appears 10 talk almost
directly in favor of the establishment Of
closer trade relations between the two
countries.
The Umpire, government organ, says:
"Grumblers will no doubt find fault with
the details, but reasonable men on both
sides Of tho line will rejoice that question
giving rise to so much international feeling
bids fair to be removed from the arena. Of
controversy, and that the neighborly feel.
ing and good will which ought TO prevail
between people having such intimate in
tercourse will again hold sway"
