views regarding the fisheries troubles, said

government of Newfoundland In sending
delegates to England and Canada to present
cases against the aggressive French had
been success The next step will be she

erection of Notifications The people OF
Newfoundland are showing steady dc.

The Herald says that England must
fight France or abandon her British Amer /.
can possessions.
The Coloaist, commenting on the re-
moval of the herring nets at Bay St.
George, says that the British tar must have
deteriorated much In quality when he stood
by and saw British property injured and
British subjects mistreated by handful Of
French.
A RAP AT THE ADMIRAL.
The naval admiral should be clad with
petticoats instead OF breeches II there be
any manly sport on hand he Is conspicuous
by his absence. IL there be rife match
between clubs and ships OF war, rarely can
an officer be found to take charge Of a
squad, and majority Of the officers cannot
hit target at 200 yards. Ships are
in Newfoundland waters ostensibly for
fishery protection. but In reality they are
here TO bolster up the French claims to tho
fisheries and play lawn TERMS. The facts
OF the invasion are these; l. The New
foundland fishermen of Bay St. George
We're ordered to take up their herring nets
by the French officers. 2. French armed
marines did not land, but patrolled the har-
Dor in boats. g. French officers. armed,
landed at Bay st. George aud Notified the
people that unless the nets were taken up
they would be cut by the French man-of-
war.
THE ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN.
The furious address Of the legislature TO
the queen relative to the fishery troubles
here, published several days ago, has not
yet passed the legislature, hence it's publica-
tion was premature. The document pub
lished was a rough draft of the proposed
address, a copy Of which, it is supposed. was
purloined by some one In the government
printing office. The address may be mod
ihed considerably by the legislature before
it is passed.
PAYMENT OF DUTIES REFUSED.

steamer Harlawa, to-day received a
telegram from Capt. Farquhar. stat
ing that he had arrived at Bay
st. George, N. f., and that the customs
authorities had refused to allow him to
land his cargo. The reason given was that
the people refused TO pay any customs on
goods coming into the country. The Har-
lava had to proceed on her voyage without
having landed any Of her freight. The
steamer left here last Tuesday on her regu.
lar trip to Cape Breton and Newfoundland
ports.

PARDON OF THE DUKE.
Els Release the Work OF Carnot in the
Face Of Strong Opposjtion.

Els Release the Work OF Carnot in the
Face Of Strong Opposition.
PARIS, June THE release Of the Duke
of Orleans was the work of President Car
not himself. A large section Of the Repub-
lican party was unwilling to have him
distinguished by any special act of clemency.
Their favorite idea was to pardon him on
July IA. the anniversary Of the fall of the
Bastile. This date Is often selected as sort
of general Jail delivery for culprits toward
whom the government is willing to show
clemency. President Carnot, however,
preferred not to extend pardon In such
way that the royalists would have felt it an
affront. Interpretations in the Chamber Of
Deputies disclosed a strong republican
minority who opposed this special act of
clemency.
A GOVERNMENT VICTORY.
Nevertheless the government had hand
some majority, and no evil results are
anticipated. There is general congratula-
tion in the fact over the increased strength
Of the government, as conspicuously shown
in the advance in rentes. For the first
time 3 Der cents. have passed 90, a
higher figure than they reached under
either Louis Philippe or Louis Napoleon.
The continued advance above 80 is
taken as evidence that capitalists are now
convinced of the stability of the republic.
