OUR FISHING VESSELS.

Orders By She Dominion Governmen To Seize All American Vessels V1eIat ing Fisheries Regulations.
 OTTAWA, Ont, June 17.-The dominion government, not encouraged by the propect of early adjustment of the fishery question with the Harrison administration, have in not to overlook any infraction of the fishery regulations, bat to seize any vessels found guilty of violating the law when the eyi dence will warrant such step. The in. structions issued to commanders are fal more stringent than those issued last year when there appeared to be possibility of au early settlement of the difficulty. Last sea- son there was not single seizure made, but this year the same leniency is not to be shown, and as the maekerel have just struck in along the coast of Pei in immense schools, closely followed by large fleet of American fishermen, it Is probable that number of seizures will bereported soon. So far only one seizure has been made, that of the American fishing schooner Wattie Winship, subsequently liberated after giving bonds to the amount of $3, ,000.

 Some time ago Rev. E. S. Childs, at the request of Secretary Noble, went to the Hampton Institution and quietly investigat- ed complaints in regard to the management of the Indians, which had been brought to the attention of the government. Dr. .Childs' report, which has not yet been made public, was to the effect that the food given the h. dian boys was not good and that the Indians complained that the contributions made for their benefit were used for the benefit of the negroes Of the school. Dr. Childs also ami madverted severely upon the use of the dun geon or guard house built under the offices.

The only ventilation is some small holes in the wall at the top of the door, and which do not connect with the outside. A little straw comprised the furniture of the room. The Indian boys, Dr. Childs reports, were sometimes confined in this cell for from few days to week at time and some of the officers of the institution said the stench was awful when the boy was removed. Gen. eral Clinton B. Fiske, chairman of the board of the Indian commissioners, secured copy of this report and sent two members to Hampton who made report directly con- tradictory to that of Dr. Childs. Dr. Chills has written a letter to General Fiske, in which he makes some sharp criticisms of the board of Indian commissioners. That there were things needing correction in the management of the Indian school at Hampton he says it is evident from the fact that they were correct ed after his investigation and the Indians sent representative of the school to this city to return thanks for their improved con- dition. As to the immuring of Indians in the dungeon he says that he is amazed that the board of Indian commissioners, which has no reason for existence unless it stands between the Indians and wrong, can defend this mode of disciplining children. It is understood Secretary Noble has decided that the cell punishment shall not be inflicted hereafter.
