1T having been intimsted to the
Duke of Cambridge, Commander-in
Chief ofthe British army, that the mere
tender of his resignation might helm to
avert a cabinet crisis, he sent it up to
the queen, who at once forwarded it to
her ministers, by whom it was prompt
~ accepted, much to the astonisbment
of the noble duke, and the queen also.
it Is said. The duke, though popular
In the army and capable and honor
able man,according to report Is now out

from his wages during the past score or
two of years and will be able to live
comfortably without raising straw
berries for market at six bits crate or
hay at six dollars ton. Lord Rose
perry, also, has let go as prime minister,
having been something of a fizzle in
that capacity, and Lord Salisbury, the
great conservative leader, has again
been summoned by the queen to form
a ministry. He is a dyed-in-the-wool
aristocrat, master of diplomacy, and,
next to Gladstone, undoubtedly the
ATTEST statesman in England. But
there is liberal majority in the Com

THE premium lists of the Northwest
ern Agricultural and Industrial ~
socian, of New Whatconl, is now being
distributed in Whatcom, San Juan and
Skagit counties. In most departments
it il very complete, and while tor OBJ
vious reasons the premium offers are
not large, they ought to be sufficient to
stimulate friendly rivalry and be Il
wholesome incentive to good work i'll
the various lines of industry which the
fair association is intended to encour-
age. The people of San Juan county
ought to take an active interest in the
fair, not alone because of the chance
which it affords for little pecuniary
gain in the line of prizes, but because
it will afford them an excellent oppor-
tunity TO attract attention, through
their exhibits, to the many and varied
advantages which the county offers to
the home seeker and investor.

THE POINT ROBERTS FISHERIES.

A VERY interesting and important
case was heard i'm the United States
Court at Seattle last Monday, inyolv-
ing the rights of the Lummi Indians to
the fishing privileges at Point Roberts,
and Village Point, Lummi island,
which privileges they allege were Sc
Cured to them in common with the
whites by the treaty of 1856. These
particular localities were not mention
ed, but the provision of the treaty re-
ferred to was intended to protect the
Indians in the right to fish in their
fused and accustomed placed.n Pend
ing the hearing Judge Hanford recently
granted temporary injunctions restrain
ing the Alaska Packing Association, or
Others, from putting in or operating
traps within five thousand feet of the
Point Roberts reef, and the Chicago
Fish Co, or others, from operating il
the same manner within three thOus-
and feet of the Village Point reef.
Should these injunctions be made per-
manent the effect will be to put stop
to trap fishing in these places under
the state law, and not unlikely in other
places also, and limit the catch to what
Indian and white fisherman can take
in nets with canoes and boats. Point
Roberts was not known to be within
the United States until several years
after the treaty oil 1856, upon which the
Indian claim is based, aud it is further
claimed by the Packing Association
that by reason Of the hostility of the
Saanich or "King George Indians, of
British Columbia, a much more power
Tul tribe, the Lummie's did not fire.
quent the reef to fish until about fifteen
years ago, and that it therefore could
not then have been regarded as one of
their usual and accustomed places
The defendants, moreover, contend
that the Indians are not now debarred
from fishing in many places in the
vicinity OF the reef, or in any way re-
strained from obtaining all the fish that
could possibly be required to satisfy
their wants. The case is an important
one in its bearing upon one of the
greatest native resources of the state.
and so far as Point Roberts is concerned
IT seems to strike at the very root of the
great enterprise there, in which it is
SAID that the Alaska Packing Associa
ton has upwards of quarter of mil
lion of dollars invested. 1t is to be
hoped that an obscure treaty provision
now put forward, nominally in the in
