The Fishery Difficulty in Congress.
Tux Washington correspondent of the New York Herald says the Congress Com- mittee on Poreign Affairs have aiiopted a resolution requesting the President to take measures to secure compensation for losses of United States citizens, for alleged un- lawful acts of the subjects of Great Britain,
P . } oe ; to take measures to. protect them In the
future, and to procul or termination of the | of Washington relating to the tisheries. This is no! going so far as Mr. Evarts ad- the United

“The Democratic the snittee do not favor the repeal of the re- mission of the fish and fish ou duties pro- vided for in the treaty. Nothing will be done in the matter until Mr. Morton, who has gone ‘o Chicago as a delegate to thi convention from New York, returns. A prominent Deinocratic member of the com
mittee said to this correspondent that im his opinion, nothing would be done in the premises tis session. Hie was unable to say what tue sentiment of the committee would be when they should take ithe matter up for final disposition, but he feit assured that ne decision whatever would be reached this session, Fle said his opinion, in which Mr. Morton coincided, was that nothing would be done by Congress, in such a momentous iwatter, hastily. ‘Let us more slow lo its work,
y allow time to «cd and wait for
‘the logic of events to indicate the proper course to take. Diplomatic cor: respondence between our Government and that of Great Britain is now going on. Let us wait and see what its résult will be. In any event, Congress should net act hastily.
Even showld it become necessary to abrogate the treaty, or certain articles of it, Congress has not power to doit,
{t cannot direct er authorize the President to doso. All that itcan do is to request him. Any resolution it might pass would be merely « petition to him. The right to make and the right to abrogate treaties alike reside in the Executive, and Congress cannot diciate in regard to them. It is wholly and solely in the discretion of the President whether a treaty should be ab- rogated, and Congress should move slowly before requesting him to exercise his dis- cretion. action at all, except upon oiticial facts and
an executive recommendation. In this case it jus neither, and should not act without them.”

GAS.
Ir will be seen by advertisement in another column that the Charlottetown Gas Company lias reduced the price of gas to $2.80 per one thousand feet. At this rate gas will—in proportion to the light given— be cheaper than oil ; and, we have no doubt, many citizens wiil show their ap-
preciation of the enterprise of the Company |
by “‘ turning on the gas.” As our readers are aware, the City Gas Works have re- cently beon greatly improved ; and it is, we presume, to this fact that we owe the reduction. commendable, and should be encouraged. The pluck and energy displayed vy the hope, receive due

The Fishery Award Claim.
In a vigorous article, the A. ¢. Advertiser says :
“Vf those who are contending for justice in this matter had displayed a little more unanimity ourcause would have been greatly strengthened, and more likely to succeed. Nothing could be more injurious than the manner in which the Patriot endeavored to belittle Mr. Brecken and his colleagues at every stage of the discussion. We have reason to suspect that Mr. Warburton, from his concluding remarks, would not scriuple at giving a rap toa political oppen ent, although he hac fought manfully for our rights. ‘Now, we are under no earth- ly obligation to Mr, Brecken that we know of, yet we contend that the Patriots cen- sure of that gentleman is as cruel as it 1s undeserved and unbecoming. If Mr. Rrecken is to be blamed for doing the best he could, under peculiar and adverse cir eumstances, What inust be thought of the Patriot's friends who brought such misfor- tune npon us. Mr. Brecken, who was in private life at the time, cannot be held responsible for allowing the Fishery Award to be dated (as the Privy Ceuncil pointed out not long age) from July Ist, 1873, when it should have dated from July 25th, L871, the time we admiltied the Americans to our fisheries. If the Patriot and his col- leagues, having full control at the time, had nrotected the rights of this Provinee, by appointing a representive for the Island, we would now have less uphill work, and less cause for complaint.”

Herse Notes.
Horses rrom P, EK. [suanp.—Mr. J. B. Haram had in his boarding stables, on King Square, on Wednesday forty horsés, all
from P. EK. Island, and all going to Mr. Benson, of Bosten. They were shipped by the I. S, §S. Company’s boat yesterday
morning. Nearly ail Were really good horses... One was valued before the Consul at $175, several at $140 or over, and in fact, all were tolerably high priced animals. —St. John Sun.
The Maine Herse Breeders’ Monthly for May has the fellowing in regard to the pros- pects of horse breeding :—
©
Horses have sold remarkably well this spring, and there were mever so many wanting to buy. Buyers from without the State, with long purses, are taking away our best enes, while scores of buyers within
the State are on the alert, inquiring for |
carriage and family horses, paying liberal prices for indications of speed. Many com- munities have been literally drained of every animal of suitabie age and size for the inarket. In this way thousands and thousands of dollars have found their way into the poekets of the herse breeders of Maine. ‘These facts, together with the fact
_that owing to the “‘hard times” through JZOPOLD has added to his reputa-|
which we have passed, but tew eolts have been raised comparatively, should induce vreeders this year to breed all their best nares to the best horses within their reach, for we predict that horses are going to be scarce and high in Maine for the next five or Six years.

Privileged visitors may witness, any night in the Times’ oftice, the transmission and the setting up in type of news received through ‘‘ Reuter’s’’ agency, which is in telephonic communication with Printing House Square, without the use of: any ‘*copy” at all. An operator sits at a type composing machine, and_sets up at the rate of something like a column an hour the newi which reaches his ears through the telephone, which is placed immediately be- hind him. The application of the same arrangenient to the parliamentary debates is obviously only a question of degree and not of principle.
The Toronto Globe enters into the follow- ing calculation :—‘* The United States as- serted that the Halifax award was exces- sive. It admitted any number of vessels from Canadian to Newfoundland fisheries, and soine three hundred are usually en- gaged within the three mile limit. A claim of $103,000 is urged because two of these vessels were prevented from hauling seines during one day. At that valuation of the fishing privilege, two vessels would take during the season $20,600,000 worth of fish, and the whole fleet would take $3,000,000,000 worth | This amazing esti- mate only shows how absurd is the claims fer damages at Fortune Bay.”
