FISHING IN NEWFoUNDLAND.

Fishing in Newfoundland is not apparent
ly a money-making occupation. A Paris dis
patch states that bill has been introduced
in the French Chamber of Deputies extend
ing the bounty system until June, 1911. The
bill is understood to have the support of the
Ministers of Finance, Marine and Com
merce. The bounty paid is about 81 %
hundred weight. The amount paid in 1872
was $4,000, but in 1886 the catch had so
increased that the amount was S1,020,000.
The price Of fish meanwhile fell; in 1886
The market value of the fish was but 90 cents
a hundred more than the bounties. The
French Government also had to maintain
feet for the protection OF fishermen. The
payment of bounty 20 French fishermen
ruined the business for the natives of the
island. The Newfoundland Government,
therefore, passed an act absolutely forbid
ding the sale Of bait to French fishermen.
The trouble this bait act has caused the
french served to increase the price Of fish
from 81 70 to So rs. The French fishermen
promptly called upon their Government for
protection against the bait act, and the
question came up for discussion between
the French and the British Governments.
The latter was willing TO grant to the
French the right to purchase bait from
British subjects upon the entire coast of
Newfoundland, but the people of Newfound-
land refused to consent to the proposition.
As yet, the bait act remains in force, and
the French fishermen are obliged TO depend
upon an uncertain supply of smu gg.ed bait,
helped out with salt bait. which is often
worse than no bait at all. Under these con-
ditiOns there does not seem to be much
money in the business. The French Gov
eminent Is out the amount paid in bounties
AID the cost Of its Newfoundland feet.
To the French fishermen the occupation is
precarious at best, in consequence of the
difficulty in procuring bait, and the New
foundland people can neither sell bait to
the French nor fish in competition with
them, as the French receive more for their
catch in the way of bounty than in the mar
ket value of the fish. 1t is stated however,
that the bounty bill just introduced in the
French Chamber is certain to pass, and thus
Continue the present condition of things
another twenty years.

AN ENGLISH DECISION.

An English court has in test case laid
down the rule that no holder of American
share certificates is entitled to transfer or
pledge his holdings unless they have been
formally transferred to his own name. The
decision is a reversal by the Court OF APP
peals of a decision given some two years
ago that an Endorsement by the party in
whose name it stood was sufficient evidence
of ownership BY the holder. The custom
in England and in this country is to pass
certificates from hand to hand without any
other evidence OF change inownership than
is found in the fact OF possession. 1t was
argued in the course of the trial that the re-
quirements Of the transfer of the stock to
the holder on the books Of the company
would cause great Inconvenience in Stock
Exchange deliveries, but the court ruled
that the fact could not be taken into consid-
Grafton. The new rule applies especially to

THE CENTRAL AMERICAN UNION.

The latest advices from Central America
indicate that the legislatures OF Costa Rica
and Nicaragua may possibly refuse to ratlfy
the treaty of union concluded at San Sal
vador on Octo Der 18th last, and that when
the meeting of September takes place it
will only be attended by tie representatives
of Guatemala, Honduras and San Salvador.
Simultaneously we learn from we'll in
formed circles that the people of the two
recalcitrant States are overwhelmingly in
favor of union, but that they are opposed
by the conservatives and other influences,
and that it is not deemed wise tc provoke
conflict when time may remove the OBJ
Stacle.
Costa Rica appears to be following the
example of Rhode Island century ago and
10 Oe anxious to play lone hand by way of
showing that her Importance is not to be
measured by her size. Her last President,
Bernardo Solo, who was here the other day,
is an enlightened man, who appreciate the
advantages of union. he has been sue
ceeded by President Rodriguez, who. it is
said, has no notion of SubSding into OBJ
security, as he would do if lis State were
absorbed by her four neigh bOrs. Reflec-
ton will probably convince him Of the
futility of his course. Only few weeks
ago we received from the Costa Rica Gov
eminent pamphlet demons trating the ad-
vantages which Costa Rica offered to the
settler and calling upon Americans to emil
CRATE to that trop zeal paradise. 1t is hardly
likely that immigrants would flock into
State whc was at loggerheads with its
neighbors and which held its national ex
fstence at their good will. 1t is to be
hoped that the Costa Ricans will have too
much good sense to allow questions of
coercion to arise.
Nicaragua also has a new President, Dr.
Sacasa. He has shown his hand by sum-
moning his Legislature to meet in January,
1891, four months after the day appointed
for the ratification of the union. 1t will
probably occur to Mr.. Blaine tn at the time
is appropriate for a little sound advice
from Mr.. Miner. The canal project is des-
tined to give TO Nicaragua an Importance
which it has never possessed, aud to con-
eentTate within its borders the intelligence
and wealth of Central America. That
project would receive a setback if Mica
ragua assumed so antagonistic position
toward its sister States that reasonable
fears of disturbance might arise. Congress
would be unlikely to sanction and encour-
age al eHteI pllee VI ouCh uldhhltuu0 II thOio
awere grounds for apprehending that the
Government might have to send ships of
war and troops to protect the canal. A
hint from the State Department at Wash
ingtou would probably help persuade Pres
ident Sacasa to revise his proclamation and
TO summon his Legislature to meet in Au-
gust instead of January.
This country takes lively interest in the
establishment of the Central American
Union. 1t will not assume to dictate to its
neighbors what policy they should pursue.
but its moral influence will be thrown into
the scale OF union, and against those who, ,
from selfish motives or imperfec: under
standing, oppose that desirable consumma-
ton.

TOO MUCH WOBBLING.

The latest Washington dispatch is that
the contract for the 55G0-ton cruiser will be
given to the Union Iron Works unless the
plans are found too radical. As the plans
were prepared by the department, tie pur-
pose of this phrase is not clear. The de-
partment is presumed to know what its
plans are before they are submitted as the
basis for bids. Having submitted them
and having invited bids, there seems no
reason why the contract should not be given
to the lowest responsible bidder. There is
little webbing also on the 6100-ton cruiser
The Cramps put in two bids, as did the
Union Iron Works, one being based on
department plans and one on plans sub
mltted by the two companies, each sub
hitting its own. The Union Works put in
the lowest bid for the cruiser on the de-
partment plan, but Oh the private plan
the Cramps were the lowest. 1t is now
reported that Mr.. Cramp promises to build
the vessel on the department plan for the
amount Of his bid on the private plan.
The effect of this, If accepted. will be to
give the Cramps the benefit of two bids. the
lowest to be considered only if the highest
fails to get the contract. The only honest
way out Of the tangle is to award all con-
tracts to the lowest bidder Men are not
encouraged to submit bids when the highest
is as likely TO get the work as the lowest.

LIABILITIES OF ExrREssMEN.

4 recent decision in q Justice Court in a
baggage case is of interest to the travelling
public. A lady on train arriving in this
city, was aCcosted by an agent of a baggage
express company and solicited to surrender
her check in order that tile company should
deliver her trunk; she complied and re-
ceived in exchange receipt on yellow pa
per, which she pocketed without reading.
The trunk was lost; she sued the company
for the value of its contents. which she fig
ured at SIS; the company's lawyer read
from her receipt the stipulation-printed in
fine type-that the company would not be
responsible for any loss exceeding S25; the
Justice nevertheless rendered judgment in
her favor for the full amount claimed
S175.
This is sound law. No carrier can limit
his responsibility by appending to his re-
ceipts conditions to which, in the ordinary
course of things, the shippers attention is
not called. To exempt the carrier from his
normal liability. there must be formal
waiver of the shippers rights. executed by
him deliberately, for due consideration.
The insertion in the receipt which the
check-collector issues of line or two of fine
type signed only by the eOmpany's agent,
and to which there is no evidence that the
shipper assented, constitutes no such
waiver, and does not bind the owner of the
property carried. Where an express CON-
pany receives a trunk from traveller. and
takes money from him, or covenants to take
money on delivery, in consideration of its
being conveyed to a given address, the
company is bound to deliver the trunk, or
to make good its full value-no matter
what words the receipt may contain.
The law on this point was laid down in
the cases where railroad companies refused
to pay damages for killing or manning per-
sons in an accident, where the persons in
jured were travelling Oh pass which stipu-
lated that the railroad was not to be held
responsible for accidents. Courts held that
such stipulations were void and Of no effect.
The ground of the decision was that,
though there was no money consideration
in the implied contract between the COM
pany and the traveller, there was another
consider alton which was equivalent to
money aud which made the contract bind
ing-the traveller was either shipper whose
business the railroad desired to capture by
granting the pass, or person Of influence
who would render services equivalent in
value to the cost of a ticket. It was not to
be supposed that the company issued the
pass for nOthing-from pure liberality.
Hence. the Court held that the contract was
complete, though nc money had passed or
was expected to pass. The company got
the value of the ticket in some other way,
and was consequently liable under the gen.
eral law of carriers.
ItrarelY happens that the express compa-
MES, which take up checks on the trains ar
irving at San Francisco, lose the baggage
they u Undertake to carry, or even delay its
delivery at the right address; but it may be
as well for travellers 10 understand that if
they do lose a trunk they are bound to pay
for its contents at the valuation at which
they could be replaced.
