! empty, which entails loss Of time. The
United States purchased these privi-
leges in 1854 by abolishing the duties on
Canadian fish. It purchased them again
by giving free fish in return under the
Washington treaty of 1871.
The present Canadian adninistra-
tion has not since entering Office in 1886
pressed the Canadian Interpretation too
hard; indeed il has allowed American
fishermen most or all Of the privileges
referred TO whenever. under special cir
cumstances, they have put in a request
to be permitted to enjoy them This
course Of action Is strongly disapproved,
however, by Canadian fishermen. =
Canadian fisherman and an American
fisherman are fishing side by side on
the banks. The American fisherman
sells his fish free Of duty. Of course. in
the United States. The Canadian fish
ermen. on the other hand, have to pay
q duty on their fish going TO the United
States; and when. in addition, he is
asked in the teeth OF the treaty Of 1913
TO give his rival thus favored by cir
cumstances all the easements and con-
veniences enjoyed in the commercial
privileges obtainable in Canadian ports
he feels that he is being asked to assist
that rival in comprising his further in
jury.

this IS not done-I am not making 4

Is one Of no particular Importance to

Malta, says the emperor and empress of
Germany have sailed for PoIa, at the
northern end of the Adriatic sea, from
which port they will travel overland di-

emperor decided upon this course be-
cause the temperature of the Mediter-

and the danger to the health OF the en-
press by sudden change from a north
ern to a southern climate is thus less
ened.

CANADA's VIEW or THE CASE.
What She Holds to and Her Interpretation
of the Treaty Of 1878.


\ high Canadian official yesterday
stated the Canadian view Of this Ash
cries question as follows: The interna-
tional commission viii have a serious
difficulty TO settle in the north Atlantic
fishery question. 1t is a question which
may give the commission some trouble.
The position of the Canadian govern
meut Is not. l think. very we'll under
stood in the United States The treaty
of ISIS provides. roughly speaking. that
the United States fishermen shall not
have access to the inhabited coasts OF
tEc Canadian seaboard. on those coasts
American fishermen are not entitled 10
land save for four purposes specifically
named in the treaty-namely. FOR wood.
water. shelter and repairs. The object
If the treaty was obviously to give Ca
nad.ans exclusive control Of their own
coasts as a base OF operations for car
TyinE on the fishery. Such has been the
Canadian Interpretation ever since the
treaty was framed and the United
States has accepted il as the true inter
UretatiOn.
In 1854 the United States purchased
the right 10 land on the Canadian coasts
for other than the purposes named.
American fishermen wish to buy bait
in Canadian ports. to ship crews. to
purchase supplies-inClUdinS ice. and to
Iond their fish-that is. to transship
them in bond. either To Canadian rail-
ways or to steamers bound for the Unit
I'd states. so that they may get rid of
their cargoes quickly and hurry back to
the banks. instead of carrying them 20

Washington, Nov. 1s - The Anglo
American commission now in session
here to adjust differences between the
United States and Canada, yesterday
held long session upon the two sub
1ects which are regarded a Of most i'm
portance-nameiy. the North Atlantic
fisheries and reciprocity. The fisheries
question was practically taken up for
the first time, and it was quite definite
ly understood that the position Of the
Canadian government was made clear
as favorable to granting enlarged rights
to American fishermen in Canadian
waters OF the North Atlantic II in re-
turn Canadian fish are admitted free Of
duty to American markets. 1t is ex-
pected that this VIII open up a wide
range OF discussion. and an Immediate
adjustment is not looked for. Concern
ing reciprocity, il has now developed
thatwithOut the abolition Of preferential
rates to Great Britain d reciprocity
agreement cannot be reached.
just What IL Is There For.
The reason for this, it is pointed out,
is that the Canadian law giving Great
Britain preference within the last year
has diverted trade from the United
States and turned it into British chan
nels. The effect has been to reduce ma
terially the sales Of American cotton
goods. hardware, and other lines, in
Canada, and To increase the sales Of
British goods. one of the American ex-
tarfG Chi Of
cloth to Canada had fallen off from
Sl.775,0OO in 1897. To S7s5. coo in 1888. a
loss OF about $1,000. .OOO due to the fact
that British cotton cloths received a
preference Of % per cent, in the duties
The American commissioners feel that
If they can succeed in having this
British preferential stopped it will Be
greater than any reciprocity agree
ment.
Not Unlikely to Lead to War.
The fisheries question is of long
standing, and aside from its Importance
to the commerce of the New England
and Canadian coast il is said TO give
the basis for possible serious conflict
between this country and Great Britain.
Wearied by the length Of the contro-
versy Canada Of late has intimated that
in case IL remained open recourse might
be taken To- the seizure of American
fishing vessels in Canadian waters. This
doubtless would lead to serious in,crna-
tional complications. This has beer the
view OF members OF the commission and
as result they are exceed uE.y anxious
to secure a settlement Of this question.
II Is understood that there is some
likelihood Of commission OF American.
Canadian and English lawyers being
appointed to determine the meaning Of
the treaty OF 1915. which governs those
fishery rights. The suggestion Of this
International body has come. II is uu-

larger revenue TO the country than was
claimed for it, and will remain in force
for many years and be changed only by
the Republican party when the require

the tax, I believe that some features Of

provide for natural increased expenses
