day in this city visiting theatres and other places

Warner owner and editor of ''The Lexington (N

The ministers. who are staying at the Broadway
Central Hotel for the week visited the Metro

ing and took in the matinee the New York
Theatre. Only six of the clergymen went the
theatre. the others being strongly opposed the
atres.
The Rev. ". L. Hutchin. a Methodist preacher
of New London who is the youngest Of the
clergymen. said that ne enjoyed the vaudeville
very much. except one act in which actress
was dressed in masculine attire.
Going 10 the theatre he said. lis like eating
mushrooms and toadstools. You can't tell which
is bad until YOU have eaten them
In the evening the clergymen took in The Man
of the Hour the Savoy A long discussion
among the clergymen took place at the dinner
table whether they should go the

THE FISHERIES uODUS TIVEEDK

Our London correspondent ten days or more
ago forecast the renewal for another year of the
Anglo-American mcduS uirepdi of last year CON
cerning the Newfoundland fisheries. perhaps
with some of the rough edges smoothed to
make it more acceptable to the colonists mat
forecast is now exactly fulfilled Official an
nouncement is made of the signing of Il m0dus
airendf which is stated TO be-aS. indeed, the
published text procaims it to be-"a substantial
renewal of last years arrangement. The New
foundIand law Of last year will not be enforced
against American fishing vessels. and the ship
mpnt of Newfoundlanders by Americans outside
: the limit Of territorial waters is not 10 he for
hidden. On the other hand. Americans VIII
make such shipments so far from the exact
three-mile limit as to avoid any doubt or dis
pute they will not purse seineS. they VIII
not fish on Sundays. and they will pay light
dues and report at custom houses whenever pos
sble.
The conclusion of this agreement is TO be re-
garded with sincere and unmixed satisfaction
in this country. Last years mOdus rirendi was
decidedly advantageous to American interests
and was real triumph of American diplomacy,
and this wears revised form of it Will doubtless
prove equally acceptable. The only material
concession made by this country in ii is the re-
linqushment of the right to fish on Sundays,
but that will cause no serious hardship TO
Americans. and. indeed. is seldom likely to cause
anv at all. Once or twice during a season it
might seem desirable to take fish on Sunday,
but the prohibition of so doing will in the long
run probably have no appTeciable effect. 1t will
certainly be no factor in competition, since
Observation-Disclosures are strictly forbidden to en-
gage in Sunday fishing.
Nor will Americans count Ii a negligible thing
that through these slight changes in it the
fnOdus UiUendi has been made more acceptable
TO their Newfoundland neighbors. There is no
desire in this country to despOil or TO antag-
onize the Observation-Disclosures. but rather is there
an earnest wish 10 make equitable arrange
ment and to live on terms of amity with them.
It is the peculiar merit of the negotiations of
last year and this year that American rights
under the existing treaty have been firmly main
tanned. and at the same time n courteous regard
has been shown for the exigencieS and for the
susceptibilties of the Observation-Disclosures. Such
a status, may trust, will be maintained until
a final determination of the matter is reached.

THE NEW JERSEY PRIMARIES.

The primary elections which are to be held
to-day throughout the State of New Jersey
are of much Importance and should be at
tended by all voters who take proper inter
est in the welfare of the commonwealth. 1t
IS ouitp true that the laws governing the
primaries are by no means perfect Indeed
revision of them is regarded by many citizens
rs one of the most urgent public needs But
that is no reason for neglecting to go to the
primaries but is rather one of the strongest
reasons for attending them: for it is only
through participation of citizens in the proc
esses of nomination and election that reforms
can be effected.
Doubtless chief interest in the primaries
centres upon the Governorship 1t is ex-
pected that the result of tO-days work Will
indicate the preferences of the two parties for
candidates for Governor and will substantially
forecast the decisions Of next weeks conven-
tions. That may may not be the case. It
is more likely to be the case with the Demo
Gratis than with the Republicans, because Of
the more numerous and more earnest candi-
dates in the latter party It might be best
for so strong n preference 10 he shown Tor
some one candidate practically to dictate
the work of the convention. and on that ground
il will he we'll for every Republican voter 10
take part in the primaries and make his per
sonaI preference felt
But competition Is 4 healthy sign in prelim-
mary political campaign. Men would not be So
earnest in their candidates. If they were not
pretty confident of success. Nor need the
party as whole feel apprchNnsivc Of the re-
srlt Of the competition OF the three or four
prominent Republican candidates II may con
fdentIv be said that any one would prove a
strong campaiCnpr If nominated and would
make an admirable Governor II elected In
such circumstances the duties Of each voter
are first to express faithfully his own choice
rs clearly as possible and then to acqulesce
Loyalty and energetcally in the decision of
the majority Of his party.

GAME IN MAINE ABUNDANT.

From The kennebec Journal.
According TO the reports of the people who have
been in the woods during the summer wardens
guides, surveyors and ruStcators, game is lust as
abundant as ever 1t seems to have moved around
about the same as usual. more being seen i'm some
places than ever before and less in others Just ac-
cordinS TO the way the deer and moose move TO
change their feeding grounds. Many more moose
than deer have been in places. One
party which made the East Branch trip saw fifty
moose and got pictures OF nearly all OF them. but
saw comparatively few deer One thing which
would tend to lessen the amount of game this
summer is the unusually wet weather. which kept
the swamps full of water that the game was
not forced to come out to th1 lakes and streams to
drink Duck shooting has already begun. Monday
beIng the first day OF open season. and the gunners
along the coast are having fairly good sport with
the birds. OF course. the ducks and geese have
begun TO come from the North yet, and 1T will be
some weeks before they strike the Maine feeding
grounds in large numbers.

OTTBBLTNG LAWBREAKERS.

In handing down his highly important de-
cision the other day in the case OF the gov
ernment versus two transatlantic navigation
companies, Judge HOugh, of the United States
Court made some statements about the de-
fendant companies which will not endear the
latter to the public. In reviewing the facts
presented in evidence he declared:
The fact is that the carriers brought in the
aliens on the chance that they would not be
deported. and that they assert in effect that
the rules Of the game" have not been observed
in Furnishing them for taking the chance.
In other words, the steamship companies,
which were charged with bringing in aliens
suffering from dangerous contagious diseases.
brazenly admit the offence, but seek to escape
punishment by calling the governments meth
DDS of bringing them to book unfair and
unconstitutional" Without making any at
tempt to deny, through their attorneys or other
wise. the importation Of unhealthy immigrants,
the defendants cla1nOred that the fortnight al
lowed by statute within which TO show cause
why fine should not be inflicted was too short
period. They also insisted that In refusing
TO issue clearance papers to vessels which
have been convicted of violating the law and
hive not paid their fines the federal authori-
ties act contrary TO the spirit, If not the let
ter. of the Constitution.
1t makes little difference to the average man
whether the Supreme Court will admit the JUS
tice Of the defendants pleas not. The
practice of refusing clearance papers in order
to eXtOrt government claims has long been
openly tolerated and even encouraged. But
the question touching the propriety Of this GUS
tom is wholly apart from the main issue. The
most important clause OF the immigration law
has In Judge Hough's opinion, been cleverlv
violated The steamship companies have al
lowed their agents to imperil the health of
wretches suffering, from trachoma and other
even more loathsome contagious diseases
whose presence might have been ascertained at
the port of embarkatiOn by competent physi-
clans. It is this f9Ht alone which interests the
ordinary man. The discovery that corpora

contag gfous diseases can deliberately throw in
