Minister Foster Outlines the Policy of the
 Canadian Government.
 OTTAWA, March 26.-Hor. William Foster minister of finance, has tile following to say regarding the decision of the dominion gov ernment to resume the issue of fishery licenses under the modus vivectii: 'Thc government has come to tue conc. .usion to keep ne nlodus vivendi for another year. Last year closed with President Cieveland's threat of retaha- tion, and We had lntmation as 10 hat would be the course of the incoming presi- dent. The modus vivendi was kept ill force last year with the cooperation ot Newfound- land, and all licenses granted under it expired at the end of the year. The fishing season will not begin until the latter part of March, and there was no necessity for action regard. ing the policy of the current year until the fishing season commenced. Negotiations were in progress with the Newfoundland government, and both were desirous of ob- tanning the tone of President H trrison's mes- sage before final conciuSon was arrived at. The message contained nothing unfriendly to the government, and did not intimate any renewal of the strained relations The gov ernment, therefore, came to the conclusion, acting in concert with the Newfoundl Hand government, to continue the modus vivendi for the present with a view to leaving the way open for resumption of negotiations if any desire is found on the part of the United States"
 What abo the closing of Behring sea tc foreign fishing vessels?'
 ''It seems to be requred by law that the president of the United States shall issue each year proclamation stating the conditions of the laws which regulate the fishing in he Behrng sea. This was done in preceding years and President Harrison followed the same course this year. What may be the position of the United States we cannot tell They claim the whole sea to the extreme westerly boundary formerly claimed by Rus sia But it is a claim which the great mari. time powers Of the world are not likely tc acqulesce in"

FROM BEYOND THE SEA.
Attorney General Webster
 Again Called to Account.
PROPOSED DINNER TO PARNELL
Outline of the New German Socialist Laws-Provisions for the Severe Punish ment of Ofenders-Tho Condition oi John Bright Improved.

LONDON March 26.-Iu the house Of com mons last evening Sir Charles Russell said he desired to make statement regarding At torney General Webster's speech of Friday last. He did not think that Mr Webster had been correctly reported. twas undoubtedly incorrect, he said, that before Pigoit's exam mation had ended, or before that witness fed that he (RusselD called for referred to, or had any information direct indirect that P1gott had di crelitei the value of his testi- mony. Mir. Webster Was en tirely mistaken in supposing that ho hal given to him Rus- seD, five days before Pigott testified, letters discrediting Piso.ts testimony Pigott's let ters confessin,s his fears of undergoing cross examination We're complete surprise to hin, and his coleagues.
 Sir R. E. Webster admittsl that he was mistaken when he wrote to Sir Charles Rus. sell, but, anyhow, the matter was unimport- ant.
 Sir Charlc Russell said he dil not impute dishon>S ole I1uct to the attorney general, but he thought that MT. Webster had been led off by the i,o it!cal character of the case into a course of conduct which he otherwise would not have pursued
 The enthusiasm over the success of Mir Parnell in turning tine tables on The Times and its hackers has manifested itself in a proposal, followed by prompt arrangements to carry it out, to entertain Mir Parnel at a banquet on April H. The affair will un- doubted]y take place at the National Liberal club, and 1t is understood that Mir Gladstone will preside, and that sufficient number of invitations to tax the capacity of the club to the utmost will be issued. As public con- demnation of Attorney General Webster's connection with The Times case and his questionable conduct in the matter increases so does public sympathy with Mir Parnell and his as ociates also increase, while even his bitterest enemies are inpeled to applaud bis bearing in the consequent controversy in the house of commons and elsewhere

even then, nearly an hour elapsed before
the poor horse was rescued, thoroughly
chilled and exhausted.

who lived In the old fashioned house in
which I listened to the story, a house
with a cellar kitchen.
He led the mare straight into this kit
