afraid that he would have difficulty in filling
dates before the Christmas holidays.
But 1 am glad to say" Mr.. Henderson
added, "that my fears were groundless. and

first week of October. Everything is going
along in good order; Mr.. McElfatrick, the ar

be complete and work upon the building will
begin by the middle OF May.n
When a manager says that his season is filled
he does not necessarily mean that an attraction
has been absolutely booked for every week in
the season, but that the bulk of the time is dis
posed of, and only such blanks left as theatrical
experience teaches should be held for novelties
that may achieve a fortuitous success. We
may understand, therefore, that the Deauesne
Theater has already inspired confidence in the
theatrical world, and that it will have the as.
sistance of the controlling powers in the East.

BAY ST. GEORGE.

Delegate Sent to Demand Redress from
the Colonial Government at St. Johns,
N.F.
NEW YORK, June 1S-A special to
the Herald from Bay ST. George, n F.,
says meeting of citizens was held there
yesterday to take measures to secure
the redress of the injuries the citizens
of the French shore are receiving
through the fishery treaty complica-
tions. The meeting, which was very
earnest one, finally requested Rev. +. Nj.
Owley to proceed TO st. Johns and lay the
matter before the Colonial Government
DR.. Howley has accepted the mission,
and sailed for st. Johns last night. He
will demand compensation for losses
suffered through the recent interference
of French fishermen, who destroyed the
nets OF British subjects, and also for
losses consequent upon the enforcement
of the new bait law forbidding the sale
of herring to the French-Cana-
dian and American fishermen as
bait for the Grand Banks fishing
DIR. Howley will ask that nothing
further be done in London until the
case is better understood by an express
sion of sentiment of the people of the
French shore who have all at stake in
the matter. The people of Bay st.
George seem to lay the blame for their
entire troubles at the doors of their
own government, whose officials they
claim are wasting time over their
foolish bubbles.
