The Treaty Rights Of the Passama-
quoddies.

To the Editor of the Press:
notice your item in relation to Indian
Hunting Grounds" In 1t you report Levy
Mitchell as stating that Massachusetts made
treaty with the Indians "about 1885," I
presume treaty with the Passamaquoddy
tribe is meant. Such treaty or agreement
was made between the commonwealth of
Massachusetts and the Passamaquoddy tribe
on the Goth day of Sept, 1874. The Indians
at Pleasant Point have, or had several years
ago, an attested copy Of 1t, which copied
and sent to the Bangor Historical Magazine,
In which it was published Nov. 1886. Ihere
may have been previous treaties made pc
tween Massachusetts, and this tribe OF lndl-
ans, but Judge this one referred TO must
have been the most important one, as 1t con-
veys to them uea-ly all their rights in lands
and carrying places which they now hold.
A reference to 1t will show that 1t was not
granted as reward for services during the
revolutionary war, but in consideration of
their relinquishing their land rights and
tltle ana engaging to be peaceable and quiet
lnnaDltants, &c. This treaty grants to these
INDIANS the privilege of fishing on both
pIancneS Oh tne Schoodick without him
drance or moiestation, but makes no mention
of any hunting privileges. 1t win be- noticed
that the hshing right is limited of the f1no
branches OF the flcer. AS the Indians of this
tribe subsequently came into possession of a
large area of land at Pleasant Point. that 10
included in the treaty above referred To- II
may be that Massachusetts, previous to The
separation of Maine made another treaty
with reference to it. At any rate whatever
treaties the commonwealth Of Massachusetts
may have made with these Indians, either
before or after Sept. 20, 1894, 1t is to be pre-
sumed that records of them may be found In
the archives of the commonwealth. 1t is,
perhaps, not improbable that some OF the
Indian claims may be based on tradition.

THE pREBLE LAUNCHED.
A Large Gathering Witnesses the
Event.

The Atkinson yacht, the Preble, which
has been building for some months at Dyer's
shipyard in rear Of Gait block was launched
most successfully yesterday afternoon In the
presence of some three or four hundred peo-
pie. The launch was set down to occur at
high water. or somewhere between and
o'clock. AS early as half-past two people
began gathering aud by half-past three the
shipyard, Gait and Franklin wharves, the
Dyer mould loft, the new Eastport ferry
boat and the steamer Cottage City were
crowded with people.
Active operations for the launch began at
about o'clock when Mr.. Atkinson arrived.
The cradle had been soaped plentifully on
the under side and the slanting ways that
had been built Into the water were also we'll
creased. A number of men with arms full
of wedges started around the vessel, stick
ing the wedges in here and there and pre-
pairing to drive them. Mr.. Atkinson set suo
Tag staff forward bearing the stars and
stripes, and another aft carrying the Amer
lean yacht ensign and the pennant Of the
Portland Yacht Club. AT this the crowd
cheered. ESeveral gentlemen asked If they
could not be allowed on board to go over
board with the yacht Rather than dis
criminate amongst his hosts of friends,
Mr.. Atkinson wisely decided to take
no one on board with him except the
foreman who had built her and man to
handle the bow-line. At three minutes after
O'Clock, Mr.. Atkinson pushed the ladder
away thus cutting off communication with
the shore. At the same instant dozen
men began driving la the wedges under the
yacht to lift her weight from the long props
to the cradle Then the props were pulled
away. All that held her then was stick of
wood under the stern post and the bow and
stern blocks and two iron dogs, one on each
side. The stern block was split out and
carried off. Then the dogs were pulled out
Then wedge was inserted under the fore
shoe and tapped once or twice. There was
a slip, shock, shout and the yacht was
sliding down into the water. Everybody
held his breath for half minute. Then as
the boat fioated, the water spray splashing up
over the stern and christening her, there was
acheer from the crowd. Mr.. Atkinson took
off his cap, waved it over his head and
called for another cheer. 1t was given with
will as the boat bobbed up and down like
duck, showing great grace and buoyancy.
As soon as possible the Preble was hauled
alongside the wharf and the joiners who
only stopped work long enough to let the
boat slide into the water went to work
again.
The engine is all completed in Fl. r. Stick
ney's shop and will be put on board as soon
as the boat is ready for it.
Quite delegation of yacht club men were
present to witness the launch and they were
enthusiastic over the fine addition to their
fleet

UNDESIRABLE IMMIGRATION.
What Commissioner Baker Has TO
Say on the Subject.

yesterday afternoon a reporter for the
PRESS was conversing with Mr.. Charles Ba.
ker. the Commissioner Of Immigration, when
that gentleman casually remarked that on
Monday night he came from Brunswick to
Portland on the midnight Pullman, and the
train was full Of immigrants On the way
west from Halifax.
Further conversation brought out from Mr.
Baker that until Congress takes some action
to prevent the immigration by land, from
Canadian ports, Of undesirable immigrants,
the agents of railway lines can snap their
fingers at whatever regulations are made to
prevent the evil 81 only repeat what /
have said annually in my reports" said Mr..
Baker. "It is too bad that something is not
done in the matter" said he. SIT is true
that Congress passed an act last session, or
rather an amendment to the act already ex-
listing, creating superintendent of immi-
grafton, with headquarters at Washington,
who shall appoint agents In every port. but
the superintendent has not yet been appoint
ed. The strong feature of the amendment
was cut out when the railway companies
found out that the amendment had clause
attached to 1t, making them subject to the
same penalties as steamship companies If
they violated its provisions. AS the matter
now stands, If the immigration agent discov-
ers on steamer passengers who, according
to the immigration laws, are not proper per-
sons, land who are liable to be charge on the
country, he notifies the company that they
must take the passengers back again, and
furthermore a penalty attaches in quite
sum for such violation of the law. But,
suppose hundred passengers land at Hail.
fax and take the train for Portland on the
way west. When they reach the boundary
we will say an immigration officer boards the
train. He ascertains that some of these
passengers are afflicted with disease, imbe-
Gle, or likely to prove charge on the coun-
try. The railway company can say. We'll,
what are you going to do about it?' And
what is to be done about it? There is no
law that requires the railway company to
take them back to Halifax. and no penalty
for bringing them into the States. With the
same law applying to railways and stages as
to steamships, then the number of undesira-
BILE immigrants who would get in would be
infinitesimal. AS the law now stands, with
the boundary line. the breadth of the CONT
nent, dotted by large cities, as well as towns
and villages, an army of immigrants can
cross the line annually, without serious him
drance, equalling, If not excelling In point
of numbers. those brought by steamer or
sailing vessel to our different ports"
Mr.. Baker was asked how the immigration
compared at the port of Portland this season
with last years. He replied that he had on
ly made up his report to April LIST, but the
figures to that date were as follows:

away to permit the barrels to float to the
surface. There are three feet of water in
side the hull. which will be pumped out as
soon as possible. 1t is possible that the

are soaked with oil. Nearly half the cargo
