TRADE RELATIONS Mllu CANApA.

InteroEtiug Session OF the Committee.
FILhermen In Favor of Protection.
BUFFALO, N. Y. May THE United
States Senate committee on trade rela.
tions with Canada resumed ils session
here yesterday. Captain Thomas May
than testified in regard to the wrecking
business and the trouble from Canadian
laws. Captain Maytham thought that
the present grievance OF American yes.
sci owners was not against Canadian
wrecking charges, which range from
Sl00 an hour per tug downward, but at
the lack OF facilities for rendering prompt
and efficient assistance. In fact he had
always done bis own wrecking, taking
his chance Of fines, rather than trust q
valuable vessel to the GLOW work OF the
Canadian service. Americans had aim.
ilar wrecking lave, but an efficient ser.
vice.
"What would be your suggestions as
to q remedy2" asked Senator Hoar.
"Let either side render assistance as
may be convenient"
James Dormer, Wholesale fish dealer,
was witness after Senator Hoar's own
heart. He had the courage to affirm
that the duty on low priced fish did not
increase the price TO the consumer,
while beseeching the committee TO use
its Influence for the abolition OF the dis.
criminatingt tariff schedule, which placed
low duty on freah fish and a relatively
high duty on salted fish, because the
sailed fish was the poor mans diet, and
was necessity to farmers and other
poor men. To Senator Hoar the witness
said that the sentiment OF the fishermen
generally was in favor Of protection.
They were necessarily daring, plucky,
manly set OF men, who would be OF
greater value in case OF war than gradu.
ates from several naval academies.

sAN DIEGO, CAL, May 7.-About $3.50
last evening the italia lifted anchor and
quietly steamed down the bay and ont
into the ocean carrying With her Deputy
United States Marshal Spencer, who, SO
far as is-known, is still on board. Mar.
shal Gard was not aware that the Captain
had any intention of disregarding his
authority, for he left for Point Lomain
in the launch Juana just one hour
ahead Of the big steamer and had passed
the point some distance before he could
have been aware the italia was following
him. Marshal Cards errand on his
second trip was to take the schooner
Robert and Minnie where she might be
found on the open seas outside Of Mexi.
can Jurisdiction as piratical craft. He
had received instructions TO that effect
from Washington. Just outside Cornado
they saw sail which proved to
be the Robert and Minnie, which put
about and ran south In order 70 get into
waters. The Mardhal returned
TO port to telegraph for instructions.
There Is no doubt that the ammunition
which loaded the Robert and Minnie
was intended for the Chilean transport
for the use Of the insurgents. The
Chileans laid their plans well and
carried them out to the letter regardless
Of the United States authorities. Marshal
Gard and party returned from the out
side after midnight this morning. The
Deputy Marshal who had been placed
at the entrance to the harbor reports
that when the ITALIA started out, Pilot
Dill was between two armed Chilsans,
while four cannon guarded both bow
and stern.

noticed that his behavior was unusually
