difficult for him TO retreat ~ the east.
Seven columns are operating between

menting on the dispatch from New

alleged resignation, pretends TO explain
the cause OF his reported retirement

FISH AND FISHERS.
President Sends to Congress the Re
port of the Joint Commissioners.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The president
has sent to congress the report of the
Joint commission representing the
United States and Canada relative to
the preservation of the fisheries in
the waters contiguous to the United
States and Canada as provided by the
joint agreement of 1892 between the
United States and Great Britain. The
subjects dealt with are the limitation,
or prevention. of exhaustive or de-
structive methods of taking fish and
shell fish in these waters and also in
the waters of the open, seas outside
of the territorial limits of either coun-
try to which the inhabitants of the
respective countries may habitually re-
sort for the purpose of such fishing; the
prevention of the pollution or obstruct-
ing such contiguous waters to the
detriment of the fisheries or of naviga-
ton; the close seasons eXpedient to be
enforced and observed in such con-
tiguous waters by the inhabitants of
both countries as respects the taking
of several kinds of fish and shell fish;
and the adoption of practical methods
of restocking and replenishing such
waters with fish and shell fish and the
means by which such tish lie may be
preserved and increased.
The fisheries to be covered by the
commission included the entire fisheries
of the Atlantic sea coast and the lake
and river fisheries in general, between
the province IF Ontario and the border
states from New York to Minnesota,
inclusive; Rainy lake and river and
Lake of the Woods, between Ontario
and Manitoba and the Columbia river,
which crosses the international bound
airy line from British Columbia into
the state of Washington; the Frazer
river, Gulf of Georgia. Puget sound
and Straits of Juan de Fuoa con-
tiguous TO the British Columbia and
Washington.
All of those waters except Rainy lake
and Columbia river were visited by
the commission They found it impossi-
BILE to consider fully all the questions
which the subject presents and were
unable in many cases to reach more
than general conclusions. Their OBJ
demonstrated the mex
pediency of attempting TO regulate any
of these fisheries by a rigid code of
owing to their constantly
changing character and conditions.
They recommend therefore a perman-
ent joint commission which shall have
direct supervision of these fisheries and
be empowered to conduct the necessary
Investigations and TO institute such
in the regulations as cir !
cumStanceS may demand.

Assyrian Picks Her Up, But the

Halifax, N s., Feb. 25.-The Allan
Line steamer Assyrian, which arrived
this morning from Glasgow and Liver
pool reports that she picked up the
disabled British steamer Cambrian,

lost sight of the Cambrian and though
she searched for her three days, she
could not find her. When last seen,
the Cambrian was rolling heavily in
the trough of the sea with her rails
under water. 1t was night and very
dark at the time. On the goth the
Assyrian passed the Norwegian bark

Embodies the Liberal Views.

London, Feb 25.-The Daily News, in
its comments tomorrow of the latest
developments of the Cretan trouble,
while welcoming the broad fact of au-
tonomy being granted to the island,
will emphasize the necessity of a
searching examination into the details,
especially the proposal that the Greek
troops shall be Withdrawn prior to the
Turkish troops. This proposal, the pa
per declares, must be reconsidered I'M
less the international forces are ready
to replace the Turkish garrisons. Apart
from this. Greece having extorted
comment from the powers can bow to
superior force without disloyalty to the
Hellenic idea.
1t is assumed that the article in the
Daily News embodies the liberal views.

With the Treaty.
New York, Feb. ga special cable
to the Herald from Caracas, Venezuela,
says:
The message of president Crespo. on
the boundary line treaty negotiated by
the United States with England, was
read to the Venezuelan congress yes
terday. The message is in favor of the
treaty in all its points, and asks con-
gress to give its consideration to the
protocol.
President Crespo argues that the
protocol is of the utmost Importance
to the country at large, and he is ur-
gent in his request to congress to give
careful consideration to the matter.
Since congress convened on Feb. 20.
the treaty has been widely discussed,
and though there is some decided OBJ
lection to it, principally that of Senior
Michelena, who was formerly the
Venezuelan minister to England the
stand of President CresDo has won
many friends for it. Senior Michelena's
recent virulent attack on the United
States. and his declaration that Secre-
tary Olney had entered into a con-
spiracy with England against Ven
ezuela, have had little effect here.
