The American Members Trying to In.
 struct Sir Charles Tupper.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 10-The fisheries com- mission met yesterday for the first time since the Christmas holidays. Every mem- Der was present. 1t was in session for about two hours. Its deliberations, or conclusions, If any were reached, remain shrouded in mystery. Sir Charles Tupper is reported as still insisting that the United States is anx- ious to. obtain commercial advantages which it would be criminal in Canada to surrender without an equivalent of some sort. The American negotiators have done their best to make it clear to Sir Charles Tupper that there is absolutely nothing in the way of commercial advantages which either the mercantile interests of this coun- try or the fishermen of New England care for, and that the only question at issue is whether American fishermen shall be given the enjoyment of privileges extended to other nations without any question whatso- ever.
 Minister West, it is said. encourages Sir Charles Tupper in holding out, while Mir. Chamberlain is ready to give up the contest.
 Supposing this to be the issue of the nsgo- tiations, it is claimed by those in the ccnf- dence of the administration that the retaiio- tion act will promptly be put into operai n as soon as the fisheries season opens.
