tary OF the Port Arthur Board OF Trade
has has forwarded 10 the Minister OF
Marine and Fisheries a copy Of reso-
luton passed by tho board reciting that
under the Mckinley tariff bill a duty Of
7 OF q cen. per pound is imposed on
Canadian fish into the United States
from Canadian fishermen or dealere,
while United States fishermen can en-.
ter their catch obtained in Canadian
waters free of duty. The board points
out that this provision will ultimately
lead to the control OF the Canadian fish

JAY GuULp'S LATEST.
Probable Alliance OF the Missouri Pacific
and Iiichm0nd Terminal System.

Probable Alliance OF the Missouri Pacific
and Iiichm0nd Terminal System.
NEw YoRK, Nov. l9.-Jay Gould
showed yesterday one OF tho several
moves he has made during the financial
panic.
He has not conterted himself with
getting grip on Union Pacific, but he
has turned up in Richmond Terminal
with voice in its management. The
result will probably be an alliance be.
tween the Missouri Pacific and Rich.
mond Terminal systems. The two
roads have total mileage OF nearly
1900 miles.
Mr.. Gould picked up S0,0C0 shares in
the street during the financial aurry,
He took advantage OF the market when
small shareholders were compelled tc
liquidate, and he got NIL he wanted al Is
down 10 II n share. Finding that Mr.
Gould was among them, the Price
Thomas syndicate thought it well tc
congratulate themselves.
This alliance should be far reaching
in it's effects. The Richmond Termina
system meets the Missouri Pacific a
two points on the Mississippi, at Mem
phis and at Greenyillc, Ark. Over thu
lines OF the Terminal Company th'
Missouri Pacific can reach the seaboar,
by comparatively direct line, at Ne"
Orleans, Mobile, Savannah, or Yves
Point, Va, and the Richmond Termina
will get Just as valuable an outlet to til
West and 10 tho Northwest from M,
point in the South. An alliance woul
also mean close relations between th
Missouri Pacific end the Baltimore
Ohio railroads.
