FISHERIES TREATY.
PREDICTION THAT IT WILL BE REJECTED
By THR SENATE.
Comments Of the English and Canadian Press
Senator Fryss 0plniOu-A Brief Reference to
the Treaty BY the Guvsrnor-Gsn-
sral Of Canada.

LONDON, February 23.-The Chronicle,
commenting on the fisheries treaty, says
"It is an amicsble bargain. In the nature
Of things Canada's concessions appear to be
larger than Americas; but it would be
useless fer Mr.. Chamberlain to extort such
terms from America as would lead to the
rejection of the treaty by the Senate"
The Dali, NelrS: I'VE still think that
it would have been better to have chosen
a commissiole ler less obnoxious to power
ful section of the-Amer can public"
OTTAWA, ONTARIO, February 23.-
Commenting on the fishery treaty the Free
Press, opposition, says: "As the Americans
have now secured, by the Chamberlain
treaty, almost all the advantages they
would have obtained by treaty of reci-
procity without giving an equivalent, it is
not likely thai they will be very anxious
to make any concessions. All that Canada
had to offer in return for free admission Of
our products to the American market has
been virtually given away for nothing.
This was done with the deliberate purpose
of destroying every hope of obtaining reci-
p!ocity, that boon which the country re-
quires and which Tories and ringsters are
determined shall never be obtained. The
worst apprehensions Of the friends of Can
ada have been realized"
The Journal independently says: at
will be with feelings Of intense satisfaction
that Canadians will read the text of the
fishery treaty. 1t is not going too far too
say that the treaty is signal triumph for
the Dominion. Every important conten-
tlon made by her in the dispute has been
admitted, while nothing seems to have
been sacrificed. The new treaty will be an
eye penerto New England fish pirates,
and ten to one there will be a howl from
Gloucester and kindred places against its

SERIOUS CHARGES
Against a Member of the Charleston Board
of Education.
Snecidl Tkle0rln 70 Ne ReniEtsr

Against a Member ofths Charleston Board
OF Education.
Special Telegram to The Register.
CHARLESTON, W. Va, February 3d.
For some time there have been rumors OF
a damsging nature against member of the
Independent Board of Education of this
city, in which it is alleged that one Of the
members had unlawfully aided in letting a
certain contract to erect a new school
building in tie Third ward. The party
who is charged with this misconduct is
John Via, member of the Board, and the
party who makes the charge is a stone mason
named P. H Tierney. The party making
the charge says that Via said to him
(Terney) that he lVia) and Mason Rusk
were going to bid on the new school house
to be built on Washington street; that he
would lay in the background and wanted
TierneY 10 bid on the st0nework and want
ed his bid low. Tierney further stated
that Via told him that he would not have
to do the work up to specifications, but if
others got it they would have to live up
to the specifications, and that as he Via
would be inspector of work, with salary
of seventy five dollars per month, Tlerney
could knock off that amount in making
the bid. Mr.. Via denies the statement, or
rather says he does not remember any such
and that he was aud is innocent
OF any act of fraud in the matter. An
other party, Mr.. Higgs, intimated that
other and more damaging evidence could
be produced against members of the Board
than had been submitted. The matter
will be further investigated tomorrow.
As there has been so much talk, our people
are anxious to have the matter cleared up.

Jail Delivery at Martinsburg.

SDecldl TEIecrGm 10 the Register.
MARTINsBURG, W. VA, February 23.-
The prisoners, one white ard four colored,
confined in the county Jail made their es-
cape last night. VIM. Keefe, noted
character whose largeness Of heart is only
equal to the magnitude of the hole left in
the wall after assuring himself of his own
escape, assisted his fellow prisoners in
their desire for liberty. Keefe occupied a
corner room on the second floor; a thick
boarded partition separated his room from
the one adjoining, to which he gained en-
trance by means of red hot poker. Hav-
ing been admitted to this room he effected
an entrance to the main hall similarly.
After getting ipto the hall he went down
stairs after his colored brethren, who were
in two different cells awaiting his coming.
With little difficulty he picked open both
locks. All now proceeded to the grret,
where they removed directly under the win
dow three or four stones from the outside
wall. This done they tied their plated
blankets to the window bars upon which,
one by one, they slipped to terra firms,
making good their escape.
