The Fishery Question.

CHAIRMAN BELMONT’S IDEA---A QUESTION FOR DIPLOMATISTS--REASONS FOR THE SEIZURE- WHAT THE BRITISH MINISTER HAS TX SAY.

(Correspondence of the New York ‘Herald.’)

Mr. Belmo it,the Chairman of the House Committee of Foreign Affairs, frankly stat- ed that this question of the fisheries, long before the seizure of the David J. Adams, had been the subject of serious consider- ation in his committee without any definite result being arrived at. Formal hearings had been given to those who favored the appointment of a commission to take into consideration the fisery question, together with all matters connected with our recipro- cal trade with Canada, as recommended by the President in his message. ‘‘And we also heard the apparently more numerous and exceedingly demonstrative class who opp sed it,” he added.

‘This question of the seizure of ar American fishing schooner ina Canadian port,” he continued, ‘is one which you will really see it is difticult for me to talk about, inasmuch as the matter is now under- going judicial examination in Canada and is pending between our Government and the

_

|Government of Great Britain. The ques-

tion that is at issue is not yet clear.

Some of the publications of the Canadian press would make it appear that the Adams was seized for violation of the treaty of 1818 by entering a Canadian port for a pur pose prohibited by that treaty, but the British government, speaking through its respo sible officer in the House of “C om- nions the other night, declared that the seizure was made because the Adams had violated international maritime law by con- cealing her name and nationality aud sail- ing without proper papers, and in effect, if not in words, he entirely ignored the fish- ery question under the treaty as having anything to do with the seizure, The Can- adian authorities appear to be quite as much confused as to the exact situation of the case. Digby Basin, in Nova Scotia, the point where the vessel was captured, was not within the fishing grounds at all. After her capture she was taken to St. John, N. B., a different province, and when the American Consul General at Halifax, after a long journey, reached St. John, it was only to find that the vessel had been sent back to the place of capture. it is not at all certain that the vessel will not ulti- mately be released by the Canadians of their own motion. But whether she is or not this point is clear to my mind—the treaty of 1818 was between the United States government and the government of Great Britain, and those are. the only Powers that have the right to interpret it. Most assuredly its interpretation will not be left to local Canadian authorities on the one hand, nor to the fishermen of New England and those who may reasonably be supposed to be interested in securing the votes of New England fishermen on the other hand.

“Then how do you suggest a settlement can be reached?” .

‘By diplomatic arrangement,” replied Mr. Belmont, ‘‘just as hundreds of other questions far more important hyve been. 1 think our Secretary of State and our Minister in London can very safely be left to adjust this matter, We have had hulla- baloos like this before. The same kind of fishery disturbances arose in November, 1853, when the Secretary of State, Mr. Marcy, was negotiating with Sir John Crampton the Canadian reciprocity treaty, which brought peace and prosperity until its abrogation under the high protective in- fluences in 1866.

‘‘Mr. Marcy was greatly embarrassed and annoyed by the same character of noisy and mischievous interference we witness torday in certain quarters, and he took occasion to write a very vigorous letter to the Collector of Customs at Barnstable, in Massachusetts, impressing upon him the necessity of avoid- ing individual difficulty by the fishing craft, or courting arrest in Canadian waters, or attempting to assert their rights by recourse to personal encounters. | have seen the letter, and remember his condemnation of sensational proceedings pending the efforts of the government to procnre a favorable and just settlement of the question. His- tory is only repeating itself in this matter, and I hope Mr. Marcy’s letter may be published, as I consider it very instructive.

Mr. West, the British Minister at Wash- ington, said toggour correspondent that diplomatic action in the matter of the re- cent seizure of the American schooner David J. Adams would be premature until the facts in connection with the seizure of the schooner had been established. ‘* We do not know,” he continued, ‘‘ whether the process served is for violation of the revenue or marine laws of Canada, and until the Admiralty has decided the case there can be no ground for diplomatic action. A pre- vious statement, printed in the ‘* Heraid” of Friday, would seem to convey the idea that no question of territorial waters was involved in the seizure of the Adams. That appears to have been the substance of the reply of the Governor-General of Canada to the cable of Ear] Granville,

‘Secretary for the Colonies, read in the

House of Commons on Thursday night, that the schooner had not complied with the maritime law of Canada. Such cases are constantly arising at the port of New York, involving heavy penalties against foreign steamships, but about which nothing is seldom, if ever, said. I waderstand fully the object of your question as to what is the true policy of the United States in this matter of the fishery trouble and the interpretatic m of the old Treaty of 1818. The seizure of the Adams may not involve such interpretation, but that does not, in my judgment, postpone the duty of the United States. I fully agree with the recommendation of President Cleveland in his annual message to the Congress last December. He said :

in the interest of good neighborhood and of the

commereial intercourse of adjacent communitics, the question of the North American fisheries is

one of much i rtance, Following out the inti- motion the extensury arrauge-

ment above described was negotiated, | recom mend that the Congress provide for the appoin: ment of a commission in which the governments of the United States and Great Britain shall be respectively represented, charged with the con- sideration and settlement, upon a just equitable and honorable basis, of the entire question of the fishing rights of the two governments and their respective citizens on the coasts of the United States and British North America. The fishin interests being intimately related to other genera questions dependent upon contiguity and inter- course. consihenntion thereof, in ail their equities. might also properly come within the purview of such a commission, and the fullest latitude of ex pression on both sides should be permitted,

‘*It was with deep regret that I read in the Senate proceedings of last month the adoption of the resolution antagonizing this recommendation of President Cleveland. What else is thereto do! The treaties of 1854 and 1871—that is, the Reciprocity Treaty and the fishery clause of the Treaty of Washington—have both been denounced by the United States, leaving only the Treaty of 1818 applicable to the relations between Great Britain and the United States on the fishery question. It seems to me President Cleveland’s suggestion that the fishing interests involve other gen- eral questions, consideration of which by such a commission would develop some plan, some project mutually acceptable to Canada and the United States, was a practical and friendly way of avoiding possible disputes growing out of contiguity of interests and inter course. Of one thing, however, I am cer- tain—no serious differences cen possibly arise between the two countries. Retall- atory measures are spoken of, but such acts never adjust differences of opinion such as may honestly be entertained in the inter- pretation of the only treaty yet continuing and bearing upon the subject now in dis- pute. I still think that the true policy for the United States was admirably set forth in the President’s message ; that it was in harmony with the spirit of arbitration which can only determine a policy after the fullest freedom in friendly conference. No other policy will, in my judgment, meet the demand of the two nations. The equities of the case are thoroughly under stood, and, repeatingthe language of Pre- sident feienr I believe, in the interest of good neighborhood and of the commer- cial intercourse of adjacent communities, the appointment of a joint commission is the certain and honorable way for the consider- ation and settlement upon a just and equit able basis of every question that can possi- bly arise in regard to the rights of the respective citizens of both governments to fish in American waters.”

EXTRACT FROM SPEECH OF THE HON. A. MAC- KENZIE, M. P., PRESIDENT OF THE NORTH AMERICAN LIFE, AT ITS LAST ANNUAL MEETING.

It is fot my intention to criticise im a hostile spirit any of our rival companies, but I propose to contrast our position with that of some of the home companies by quoting from published or official state- ments in a fair Lesthianate application of the figures.

I bespeak your close attention to these statements

Policies issued during the fifth year of our Company, $1,986,500. Confederation Life, $1,500,746; Sun Life, $952,594; Canada Life, $389,296.

The premium income of the same com- panies for the fifth year of its existence was as follows: North American Life, $151,318.15; Sun Life, $95,737.99; Canada Life, $37,892; Confederation Life, $119,052.57.

In other words, ovr premium income for ourfifth year is $35,766 larger than that of the most successful of our competitors in its fifth year.

Another material element of success is the amount of business in force. We are able to refer with pardonable pride to our position in that respect. At the end of the fifth year it was as follows: North American Life, $4,849,287; Confederation | Life, $4,004,089; Sun Life, $2,414,063, Canada Life, $1,306,304.

In respect of terminations the North American occupies a good position, as the following statement will show: Ratio of terminations to new business, North Amer- ican, during the fifth year, 40.21 ; Confede- ration Life, during thirteenth year, 46.92 ; Sun Life, during thirteenth year, 70.02 ; Eta Life, on its whole business for 1884, 105.58; and on its Canadian business, 1884, 52.59.

When some politicians are weighed they are found wanting--every office in the gift of the people.

Sir Charles Warren, the new chief of the London Police, is the man who is so well known asthe explorer of Jerusalem. He is a man of fearless religious principle, and of great energy. He is a total abstamer.

Mr. Edward C. Knight, the millionaire merchant of Philadelphia, whose semi- centennial of business life was celebrated last week, began his career as an errand boy on $2 a week, and saved $200 out of that income with which to start a grocery store.
