(Br TELEGRAPH To THE rRrBuxE.I

(Br TELEGRAPH To TRTBuxgl
WASHINGTON. Feb. 15-At z o'clock tonight
a treaty settling the fisheries spute between the
United States and Canada was signed in the
Diplomatic Parlor Of the State Department by
the Commissioners appointed for that purpose by
the President and the Government of Great
Britain. What the terms of this treaty are Mr.
Bayard is unwilling TO say though he is not averse
to stating what the treaty does not contain.
1t does not contain he said tonight any
provision looking to the free admission OF fish
into the United States; 1t does not deal in any
way with the question Of commercial reciprocity
and 1t does not touch upon the difficulty which
has arisen In connection with the seizure Of
British sealers in the Behring Sea-
Beyond expressing his satisfaction at the happy
conclusion Of the negotiations, and sayng that he
earnestly desired that tie treaty would soon be
given TO the public by those alone competent TO
do so referring, Of course, to the Senate, Mr..
Bayard would not talk. From his manner how.
ever and general bearing it could easily be seen
that he, for one, satisfied with the result and
that he did not anticipate any opposition on the
part Of the Senate.
From sources likely to be we'll Informed. II is
learned that the treaty grants to the United States
practically everything 1t asked for. The head.
land theory advanced by the Canadian repre-
sentatves is totally abandoned and an interpreta-
tion given to the three-mile limit more in ac-
cordance with the views entertained by all
civilized nations at the present time. The treaty
OF 1918, II any reliance can lie placed upon these
same sources Of information, is amended so as to
permit the entry Of American vessels into Canadian
harbors for any purpose. except to take, buy or
cure. The conditions and the regulations to be
made according to such conditions, under which
American vessels can enter Canadian ports, are,
1t is said, also clearly defined in the treaty-an6
will admit Of no further misunderstanding.
The disputes of over one hundred years stand.
ing between the United States and Canada seem
thus by signature of this treaty to have reached
termination. Before, however, the treaty can
be made effective it will have to be ratified by
twothirls' majority in the Senate, it will have
to receive the assent Of the Dominion Of Canada
and the Province of Newfoundland, and will also
have to be ratified by the Queen.
The treaty was taken to the White House by
Mr.. Bayard tonight and will probably be sent by
the President to the Senate tomorrow.
