CANADA AND BRITISH TREATIES.

The gratifying announce ment is made and We

and American governments has been negotiated
for the deIimitation of fishery rights along the
entire AmcTican-Canadan frontier from Passl-
maauoidy Bay To the Strait of Juan de Fuca-
Such a treaty is much needed, and its operations
will do away with the constant uncertainty and
occasional friction which have existed. and
will th;ls materially improve the practical re!a
fiouS between the two countries. The neg0tia-
ton Of il is doubtless largely the result Of Mr..
Hrycr's visit 20 Ottawa. 1t WAS chiefly for that
purpose iiat he went 10 Canada. He said ut
Montreal that during his year 1T Washington
fully three quarters of his work had been CON
ceImed with the affairs Of Canada, until he had
come 10 feel Jhat he was even more the Am
basSadUr OF CaIaua than Of Great Britain 10

less manifested only ii GAy or two after Mr..
Bryce had spoken, when member OF the Domin-
ion Parliament from the Yukon territory com
piaincd that Canada occupied subserylent po-
sition IN treaty making and could not expect
much from England when American interests
stood in the way. Happily Sir Nilfrid Lauricr

1t is of course fitting that the CubanS should
mako such demonstrations in his honor, be-
cause he is really of the greatest bene-
factors they have ever had. During his admin
istration he has given to the island more neces-
sary and beneficent law than it had received
