HALIFAX, N. S., May 2i.-Advices
from Bay st. George, n. F., represent
that the relations between the New
foundland and French fishermen in the
disputed French shore are reaching a
crisis. The commander of the British
war ship Lily has issued n proclamation
to the effect that he would not permit
Newfoundland fishermen to set their
nets to catch herring, and. il they did
so, he would cOnfiscate their nets.
An Indignation meeting was held
Rev. DIR. HOwley, the prefect apostolic
Of the west coast of Newfoundland, told
the commander of the British war ship
that he was there with the apparent
mission of protecting the French in-
stead of the British interests. The
commander replied that he was carry
ing out his instructions from the i'm
perial government and added that he
took but little stock in the inhabitants
or in the Newfoundland government.
The proclamation. which was posted
up in public places, was quickly torn
down by the infuriated people. st.
Georges pay is the great herring 1Sn~
ing ground. There are about two thOus-
and people there, who live almost en-
tirely by catching herring and export.
ing them to Canada. The French are
given concurrent rights by the treaty to
that part of Newfoundland, but claim
exclusive jurisdiction, and now that
they can get bait in other
portions of Newfoundland, they
are asserting their claims of eX-
clusiveness over Bay st. George, and
supplying themselves with bait there.
This prevents the British inhabitants
from getting fish, which would of course
interfere with the French, and the Bris
tish war ship there prevents any inter-
ference. The people threaten to use
rifles to enforce their rights. They say
they will either do that or abandon that
portion of the British empire to the
French. BlOOdshed is predicted.

and on top of them lay his hat, with
bottle about half full of whisky. Every
thing goes to show that it was most
carefully and coolly arranged suicide.

WANTS A DIVISION.
An indiana Man Asks Porter to
Whack Up.

WASHINGTON, May 21.-Among the
odd requests contained in the mail of
Robert P. Porter, the new superintend-
ent of the census, was one to-day that
eclipsed anything yet received. 1t sim
ply asked Mr.. Porter to share equally
the salary of his office with the writer,
who said that the president had evi-
IDENTIFY intended to appoint him to the
place, his name being the same as that
of the new superintendent. In support
of his view of the case the writer vOlun-
teers the information that he comes
from Indiana and that he served in the
Sixty-ninth Indiana regiment, and that,
therefore, there can be no mistake as to
his being the Robert P. Porter desig-
mated as superintendent of the census
by the president. He is willing to waive
the honor of the Office, however, if
given half it's emoluments. Supt. Por-
ter replied to his correspondent in a
seriO-comic vein. A we'll known ex-
pert, he wrote, had stated that the
superintendent would be compelled to
do $50, 900 worth of work for $1,000 sal
ary. His Indiana namesake would,
therefore, see how great a sacrifice the
division of the salary would be even
with one who bears the same name.
