Treatment of Drunkards.

Tuer: is before the British Parliament a bill to allow the establishment of “ re- treats,” in which habitual drunkards may be shut up and subject to special treat- ment. Entering the “ retreat” is option- al. The candidate for admission must appear before a justice of the peace, signify in writing his wish to be admitted, and state the time during which he is willing to continue aninmate. He then is no longer a free agent ; he must stay out the time for which he bound himself, and conform to the regulations of the establishment, how- ever distasteful they may be.

A Reduction in the Price of Coal.

Tue Montreal Gazette reports : ‘‘ A cargo ef Anthracite coal having arrived from Oswego, N. Y., prices have already de- clined 50 cents per ton, with the prospect of a further recession as soon as other car- goes, now on the way, arrive.”

The Local Government, the other day, laid in a cargo of best Sydney Miles coal, at fifty cents per ton less than it was laid in last year.

These two facts attest the fallacy of the ery that the National Policy would neces- sarily result in an increase in the price of coal. Like the prices of sugar, flour, corn- meal, molasses, tobacco, etc., the price of coal has not advanced. On the contrary, it has lowered.

Railway Hoonomies.

In the Commons on the 8th inst., Dr. Tupper entered upon an explanation ef the manner in which he proposed to manage the Intercolonial with an appropriation so much less than Mr. Brydges estimated. He said he expected to save on the renewal o steel rails $143,000, on the salaries of staff $43,000, on the mechanical department $91,000, on materials $23,000, making a total ef $300,000. The savings on salaries he explained were to be made by the dis. missal of partially employed men and the reduction of salaries.

So, it seems that P. E. Island is not to be the only place subject to the economical policy of the Government !

The Situation in Zulu.

Sim Barrie Frere is empowere } fv acgo- tiage a peace with Cetewayo, and in the event of the rumored desire of the African monarch to close the war being willhout foundation, the High Commissioner is instructed as to the prosecution of it. There has been an abseuce of intelligence from South Africa since the relief of Ekowe, the aim of the British authorities, now that they command the position, being appa- rently to pave the way to a settlement of of the diffiulties and cease further hostilities. It is certainly not desirable that they should ‘‘ make a solitude and call it peace,” and the submission of the frontier chiefs, which has been re will be hoped to be the forerunner of the submission of Cetewayo and his army.

The Fishery Award Question.

QEBATE ON DR. FORTIN’S RESOLUTION.

MR. McDONALD’S SPEECH.

Mr. McDonatp (King’s, P. E. I.) said he had listened with a great deal of atten- tion to the eloquent address ol the hon. member for Gaspe (Dr. Fortin. ) it shows that he was very conversant with the his- tory of the great fishery interests of the Dominion. While he (Mr. McDonald) was willing to assent in general terms to the proposition laid down by the hon. member for Gaspe, ‘‘that — ar from = _ eries should go to the fsnertes, net quite prepared to say with him that the money arising from the Award should be appropriated tor the re-stocking of the fish- ing banks of this country that had been de- pleted by the manner 1n which the fisheries had been carried on for many years past. Yet he believed, with the hon. gentleman, that this fund should, in an especial manner, be set apart to protect and develop the tish- ine interest of this country. We knew very well that our great fishing banks were becoming rapidly unproductive ; that where- as it was formerly a very easy matter to catch an abundance of fish, new, owing to the state of the banks, it required a large outlay with very uncertain results, which made the business scarcely remunerative. But while he agreed on this point with the member for Gaspe, he could not lose sight of the fact that the Province of Prince Kd- ward Island had an especial claim to a por- tion of this Award— that is, apart from the general claim of the other Maritime Prov- inces. We knew that Prince Edward Is- land assented to the Washington Treaty while she was still a separate Province. She always looked upon the fiheries as one of her greatest sources of wealth. She had no manufacturers to fall back upon ; no canals or anything of that kind; nor great public works by which we could expect to get money from the public chest. We knew that under the Washington Treaty this Award was given on the grounds that a large portion of the fish that was taken by the Americans on our coast was within the three mile limit. When the Province of Prince Edward Island came inte Con- federation, the terms were silent as to the surrender of her fisheries, and therefore she reserved to herself her right to a fair proportion of the Award, because she was a consenting party to the Treaty before she entered into Confederation. We knew also that Prince Edward Island had receiv- ed no equivalent for the surrender of her fisheries; that liberty given to American fishermen had been a source of great injury to her own fishermen,who had thereby been deprived, to some extent, of the means of subsistence for themselves and families. In this way the Maritime Provinces could be shown to have suffered a great injury; and, therefore, he contended that, in a like pro- pertion, they had a claim, and a first claim, on the money received under the Washing- ton Treaty. The ratification of that Treaty took place before Prince Edward Island be- came part of the Dominion; and we knew that the rental of those fisheries was not made by the Dominion, but by the Island as a Province distinct from the Dominion. She never signed away her rights to a share of the Award; and if she had remained like Newfoundland apart from the Dominion.she could have received a fair portion of the Award, in like manner as Newfoundland had done. For these considerations, when the House went into Committee on the resolution, he should take the oppertu- nity of moving the following amend- ment :—

That after the word should, in the third last line, the following be inserted : ‘‘ Sub- ject to the claims of Prince Edward Island;” and at the end of the last paragraph, the following be added :—

‘¢ That Prince Edward Island has special claims upon the monies arising out of the Award, and that the amount of such claims should be fixed and settled at as early a day as possible.”

MR. HACKETT’S SPEECH.

Mr. Hacketr said he congratulated the hon. member for Gaspe (Mr. Fortin) upon the able manner in which he had dealt with the subject before the House. While agreeing with him generally, he (Mr. Hackett) could not overlook the fact that the people of Prince Edward Island had a special claim to the Award. At the time of the ratification of the Washington Treaty, it was found that the Province of Prince Edward Island had, through Sir Edward Thornton, entered into treaty {negociations with the American Minister, Mr. Fish. He found, on looking over a despatch of that time, a memorandum of Council in re- ply toa letter from Downing street with re- gard to the Island allowing American fisher- men to participate in their fisheries, the following paragraph :—

“The Committee submit that commercial arrangement with the United States, in con- sideration of the use of the fisheries, would have been most acceptable ; but as the Royal High Commission were unable to induce the American Government to change its commer- cial policy, the people of this Island, being extremely loyal and devotedly attached to British institutions, would be most unwilling to throw obstacles in the way of an amicable settlement of all causes of difference between Great Britain and the Maritime States, and would, therefore, accept any reasonable money compensation, in addition to the privileges granted us, as an equivalent.”

Which showed that privileges surrendered by the Island should receive a money com- pensation therefor. This document was received in evidence before the Commission which sat at Halifax. The privilege of al- lowing American fishermen to fish in their waters was, at least, taking away from Island fishermen something that specially ,besonged tothem. It had been stated by the hon. member for Inverness (Mr. Mc- Donald) that, when these people settled on

/

[tha shores of the Maritime Provinces and made homes there for themselves, they looked upon the fisheries 4s the only means of subsistence for themselves and families. Now, on account of matters of State, these fisheries were taken away from them, and foreigners were allowed to come m and destroy the fish. Then as the means of subsistence were taken away from these fishermen, the money which was obtained for these fisheries ought in justice be returned to the people who suffered by the Bill. He did not agree with the sugges- tions of the hon. member Gepe respecting the means of developing the fisheries. The possibility of restocking the deep sea fish- eries was not a demonstrated fact. It was only an experiment. This fishery award could be appropriated to far better advan- tage than by experimenting with fish hatch- ers. The only authority we have on the subject of re-stocking the deep sea fisheries is Professor Baird, who states that he has been experimenting, and that the sea fish- eries can be restocked. Supposing tish were put into the waters surrounding the Provinces within the three-mile limit, there was no means of preventing them going outside that limit, and the consequence would be that American fishermen would come along and receive a portion of the benefit of the money appropriated for this purpose. Muney appropriated in that way would be hard cash thrown away. — Instead of indulging in any such quixotic ideas, we should preserve the valuable fisheries we now possess. If Americans were. allowed to go on fishing by means of purse seines, the fisheries would soon become exhausted, aud therefore this destructive method of fishing ought to be prevented. He was a little amused at the member for Inverness, (Mr. McDonald) respecting the value of the Prince Edward Island fisheries. The value of the exports of fish from the Island was no criterian to judge the value of her fisheries by. It was well known that the same amount of capital was not invested in Prince Edward Island 2s was invested in the larger Provinces of Nova Scotia; but that did not detract from the value of the fisheries os the former Province. The hon. gentleman knew that many vessels from Nova Scotia fished arvund the cvasts of Prince Edward Island which possessed the most valuable fisheries of the Gulf. If the hon. gentleman had such valuable’ fish- eries, why were the people not kept at home? But no, they are glad to come around eur shores and benefit by eur valuable fisheries, and it ill-becomes the hon. gentlemen to detract from their value. With regard to the general ques- tion, he would say the fishing interest was a very important one, and one which full justice should be done. There was no pro- duct of the Dominion that commands so unfluctuating a price as inforeign markets as the article of fish. He thought it was the duty of the Government to take such steps as would protect the fisheries of the coun try. He hoped that, in the distribution of the Award, the Province ef Prince Edward Island would be considered, and that she should receive what he considered was her just right, a fair proportion of it.

CRICKET.

The Cricket match between the ** Married’ and ‘‘ Single” elevens of the Phoenix Club took place on their grounds, Victoria Park, on Saturday afternoon. The stumps being pitched about half-past two o’cleck. The ‘‘ Single” men going to the wickets at that time, and remained till five o'clock, and scered 99 runs,—T. L. Finlay making off his own bat the very handsome score of 51. During his innings he made some very pretty hits, one to leg scoring 5. After a fair innings the ‘‘ Married” were put out for 64, of which George MacLeod scored 18, and Benj. Davies, jr., 12. The ‘* Single” were declared the winners by 35 runs. They proposed three cheers and ‘‘ another”’ for the bendicts, which was heartily sounded. The game was wit- nessed by a few spectaters with a great amount of satisfaction. The day being fine, the game was very enjoyable. The follow- ing are the scores :—

A suMmBER of men in the employ of Peake Bros. & Co., stuck work this nore The were employed by that firm, since Friday,] ing the 8. S. Prince Edward for 80 cents per day. A number of vessels having arrived last night, and seeing that labor would be on demand they struck for one dollar per day. This amount the ftirm—considering present freights etc.—refused to pay. The greater number of the firm’s employes went to work on hearing the refusal. Those on strike attempted to pee them, but were unable to do so. rge gangs of the strikers praded the wharves all this forenoon. The police watched their movements. They were peaceably di and resolved to adhere to their demand for one dollar per day.
