Sir Joseph HIckson Speaks.

TORONTO, August 16-Sir Joseph Hick-
son has written letter to the Globe in refer
ence to complaints made by American rail-
ways against the Grand Trunk and Canadian
Pacific roads. Sir Joseph says: Their COM
plant is not we'll founded. and it is no se-
cret that their desire is to prevent Canadian
companies carrying United States traffic at
all, and not that they should be subject in
their traffic arrangements to the provisions
OF the Interstate commerce act Of the United
States Congress. The Canadian companies,
from the date when the interstate commerce
act came into effect, have recognized that it
was incumbent upon them in dealing with
traffic to or from the United States and Can
ada, or traffic passing through Canada from
one state to another of the. United States, to
observe the terms and conditions of the in
terstate commerce act" Sir Joseph con-
cludes as follows "After somewhat ex-
tensive experience 1 am prepared to assert
that the Canadian companies do not derive
from the operation of the interstate COM
merce act any advantage whatever over their
United States e0mnatit0rs ~

The BehrIng Sea Fuss.

LONDON, August l0.-L0rQ SALISBURY s
last despatch to Secretary Blaine relative to
2. After quoting from historical documents
the despatch concludes as follows:
Her Majesty's government always
claimed freedom of navigation and fishing in
Behring sea outside the limit of the marine
league from the coast. 1t Is impossible to
admit that the right to fish and catch seals
on the high seas can be held to be abandoned
by nation from the mere fact that for a
certain number of years it has not suited the
subjects of that nation to exercise such
right. 1t must be remembered that the ex-
istence of British Columbia as a colony and
the development Of the colony's shipping in
terests are comparatively recent. If the
United States government continues to differ
recent captures Her Majesty's government is
ready to refer the question, with others de-
pendent thereon, to impartial arbitration"
The Pail Mall Gazette, discussing the Beh-
ring sea question, says:
"The full text Of Secretary Adams's de-
Spatch to the British government does not
invalidate Lord Salisbury's argument, which
was founded on extracts from the despatch.
We aIe unable to conceive a clearer case for
arbitration, or to believe that Americans do
not approve of arbitration"
The st. James Gazette attributes Mr..
Blalne's tone to desire to influence the
Irish vote.
"Lord Salisbury's frmness," says the
Times, twill show the colonists that the
home government is not, as they sometimes
affect to think, mere funnel for diplomatic
notes. 1t was childish of Mr.. Blaine to treat
the fact that we and the colonists refrained
from fishing as the foundation of an obliga-
tion not to fish,"

of public success.
As for the play itself, the praise which
has been bestowed upon II as dra-
matte literary effort IS said TO be well
deserved. II Is a pure comedy Of the
manners of the period, and therefore Is
good for representation In any age. AS
the name indicates, II represents the
fashionable life during the period OF
George the Fourth. and deals with the
incidents In the life of the famous fop
from the time when he was In the
zenith Of his power and Ia the compan-
iOnship Of the Prince. until his poverty
and wTetchedness in the little attic al
Caen.
The dialogue Is said to be bright, cpl.
grammatic and full of the many clever
sayings which history has attributed 10
Beau. The part Of Beau BrRllHs! Is
said to lit Mr.. Mansfield to perfection,
and all accounts agree that, even 10 his
gallery Of character creations he has
given us no embodiment more symmet-
Tical IN form or more elaborate in de
tail. A leading critic, IN referring TO
il, declares il to be ''poetieal n feeling,
perfect In poise, exception y graceful
and wholly original I'll opplTtuni-

Mr.. Mansfeld's dressing OF the part is
said 10 be not only unique. but a study
IN The art Of costuming. The story OF
the play Is as follows:
