The Fisheries Matter. OUR POSITION IN A NUTSHELL.
ial correspond ice Halifax Herald.)
(Sp
Port Mvuuerave, May 15.—The Glou- |
cester people, as reported, are terribly ex- cited over the seizure at Digby. In this they are most unreasonable, to put it in the mildest language. Who but them- selves have they to blame in the matter! Have they not solemnly declared in the memorial to their government, in the senate, and through the press, time and again that they wanted no privilege from us? We had none of any value to give—in fact no equivalent whatever to offer for 4 reciprocity treaty? Then why all the bluster? If they were stating the truth this vessel should not be at Digby parchas- ing bait. Then if they were stating what they knew to be false, they ought for their own self-respect, iffthey have any, to keep silent, for they are only MAKING THEMSELVES CONTEMPTIBLE
even in the eyes of their own government and people, who tcok their statement as trnthand consequently refused a ccommis- sion to arrange asettlement. Why, it was only a few days ago I saw an article taken from the New York Herald alleged to be written at Halifax, no doubt by an Ameri- ean citizen, wherein we are particularly warned not to forget that New England fishermen told us that they did not want bait, ice, nor any privileges from us; and hinted that it was no use trying to enforce a reciprocity treaty by such means, Well in the first plice we do not want to forcea reciprocity nor any other treaty. We only ask to be left to ourselves unmolested. Is not this a modest request? The candid opinion of the writer is and has always been that

Times since 1818 have changed in many things,but there is hardly an industry that I know of which has undergone such a change or 80 many changes as the fishery within the past score years. THE NORWEGIANS HAVE ADVANCED
so much in the prosecution of the cod fish- ing that, with their cheap labor and the great advantage which their climate affords them for curing, they are able to undersell us in the European markets, and are also finding their way to the West Indian and other markets, which we used to supply. The French are also increasing their fish- ing vessels, and, assisted as they are with a large bounty, they are not only supplying their own markets but are also finding their way to the markets of |Spain and Portugal. ‘The United States, well, what. need I say about their fishing fleet or of the appliances of destruction which they employ in prosecu- ting codand mackerelfishery! Anything that I could tell the Herald readers would fall short of what they already know, Suffice to say, they want their own market to themselves. Nobody could blame them for that, but where we disagree with them, is here—they want to compel us to furnish them the means to do so, and not only to supply their own but also our Upper Canadian markets, and even not stop there, but also to compete with us in the West Indian markets with their small codfish which they used heretofore Scotia. And the alleged

Bat we never miss the water till the well runs dry. 5S» itis now with the Yankees, when they are brought up to the ring bolt, and have to meet the bait difliculty squarely, THEY CHUCKLED WITH GLEE
over their success in preventing the com- mission, and considered the maia object gained, which was to secare a monopoly of the fish trade for the continent to the in- jury of the consumer, considering oar pri- vileges available at any time required. Would not our poor fishermen starve if | they could not sell their bait, ice, ete ? And did not Frye assure th m that they hada mortgage on Great Britain to ksep the peaco—in fact, told them to go and help themselves and there would be no war. They begin uow to find out that Frye’s mortgage is not worth acent. They want bait, and what is worse, cannot do without the article; and if they cannot get | it from us by force or fraud, will be unable to prosecute the codfishery. They threaten | us now with all sorts of evils if we will not | grant them privilezes which they told usa | short time ago w3 did not possass,

In fine. what will not our insolent, greedy neighbors do whea their own interests requireit? They will injure us about as much by shutting their ports as they will benefit themselves by shutting their mouths at the present time— that is, if they will shat their ports and their mouths our losses will be about equally balanced. Why, are not their ports virtually shut against us at this moment ? Let any capable person examine and with short study he will find that in every article of production of ours they have reared a barrier of protection against us, Look over the catalogue, from potatoes to fish, from lobstercans to seal oil! Talk of unfriendliness! why, no country upon the earth eould act more unfriendly to- wards a neighbor than the United States has towards us With regard to their cus- tom permits to their fishing vessels, I will leave the matter to Hon. Mackenzie Bowell, who, I think, will attend toit. I will now endeavor, as briefly as I possibly can, to

REVIEW THE WHOLE QUESTION OF THE FISHERY SINCE 1818, and try with the best of my ability to
place the matter before the Herald readers and silence, if possible, those people who are writing and talking about what they are entirely ignorant of. To do so it is necessary to go back to the time of the treaty. At that time the British North American dependencies held full control of the cod fishery, and supplied the European, West Indian, and in a all other markets excepting France the United States. The French, assisted by a lary this

Hh
bounty, which they receivo to day, were enabled to carry on the St. Pierre bank cod fishery and supply their own
home market. The United States were then, I might say, in their infancy, and their bank eodfishing vessels were small in size and few in number and also were assisted with a bounty which enabled them with the help of their shore fishery
to supply their own market, so that to all
intents and purposes the British American | had no rivals of consequence.

Adrift in a Dory. ANOTHER ISLAND FISHERMAN IN TROUBLE. Two hearty looking young mien, clad in oil skins, and having the appearance of Bank fishermen, arrived by the Inter- colonial Railway on Tuesday morning. They were Daniel H. McEachern, (of Cape Breton, and Pius McPhee, of P. E. Island, who had strayed from the Gloucester schooner A. T. Gifford, whiie fishing for cod on the Grand Banks, and who had been given up as lost by their vessel. The men stated that at 4 o'clock on the morn- ing of the 7th of May they left their vessel to look after their trawls. Soon after parting company with the schooner a thick fog shut in, and when they endeavor- ed to return they could not find their vessel. They had some fresh water in their boat, but not a particle of food. They row- ed aboutali day without seeing anything
but the green sea alongside and the thick mantle of fog which en- veloped them. All night long the weary search was kept up, but in
vain, Morning dawned but uosky was visible, and the wearied fishermen were about to abandon the pursuit in despair when the fog lifted for a brief space of ten minu es, The incident seemed likea providential interposition, as in that brief space the men described a bark some dis- tance off. With spirits revived by the hope of succor, the weary fishermen p!ucked up courage and rowed with might aod main in the direotion in which they had seen the vessel. They were notseen by any one on the vessel till they got alongside and asked to be taken on board. Their request was complied with and in a minute or two they found themselves standing on the deck of the bark Goethe, surrounded by a gaping crew of Norwegians. They were eighty miles from St. Peter when their rescue was effected. The two men were very kindly treated on board the bark, which was bound for a port in Quebec. On Sunday they landed at Gaspe, and they at once proceeded for St. John, reaching here this morning. — St. John Sun.

The Archbishop at Home.
CHATS ABOUT POPE LEO’S IDEA OF CANADA. AN INTERESTING INTERVIEW WITH HIS
THE CANADIAN CARDINALATE—THE FEEL-~ ING IN IRELAND ABOUT HOME RULE.
A Halifax Herald reporter paid his com- pliments to Archbishop O’Brien on Friday, and had a pleasant interview regarding His Grace’s visit to Rome. The Archbishop is in the best of health and spirits and looks as though he had thoroughly enjoyed his trip. Said His Grace :—
‘* We left here on the 2nd of January, had a fair run over, got to Liverpool on the llth, and went on direct to London, and thence next day to Paris. From there we went to Lourdes, the famous sanctuary of the Blessed Virgia. Lourdes, though world famed, is only a small hamlet in the bosom of the Pyrenees. Though so small, itis historicallyjand strategetically famous. It is on the mountain leading from France to Spain, and was held by the ancient Romans, acd later by the Black Prince, who wintered in its old castle, still stand- ing. Later it became a place of banish- ment for political offenders, and at the time of the Reign of Terror, the common pri- soners were liberated and largely replaced by the aristocracy. It is: now an historic relic of the past. We stayed there nine days. But it was not the pilgrimage sea- son, and in fact we were about the only strangers there. Thence we passed through Toulouse, through Marseilles to Cannes, where the Duke of Albany died. We stayed there nine or ten days, and greatly enjoyed ourselves. It is one of the famous winter resoris of Europe. From Cannes we wended our way slowly to Rome by way of St. Remo and Pisa—the location of the famous leaning tower. At that place we were delighted by inspecting its grand old cathedral, erected nine hundred years ago. It is full of beautiful paintings and works of art—many of them by the greatest mas- ters. The baptistry is a separate building in circular form, and is at least 70 feet in diameter. It is noted for a remarkable echo that is produced from certain seunds of the human voice. We reached Rome on the 11th February, and, with the exception of a few days spent at Naples, we were there until the 10th of April.”
‘*Did Your Grace meet any Canadians there ?”
‘* Yes, several, including some Montreal ladies aud gentlemen, and a number of Canadian priests.”
‘* What distinguished Europeans did you meet there ?”
‘‘Cardinal Howard was the most dis- tinguished Englishman we met there. He was very kind to us. His palace is the centre of the English colony. We also met there Col. Colthurat, ex-M. P., a moderate Home Ruler, and who | believe was formerly on this garrison.”
‘*You saw His Holiness frequently?”
‘‘T had two private audiences with the Pontiff, and saw him on two public occasions. One of the latter was on the oceasion of the presentation of an address by the cardinals on the anniversary of his election to the pontificate.”
‘*Had ae changed much since Your Grace saw him in ana 1881?”
‘I can’t say that he has. He seemed as vigorous and his intellect is as keen, although, of course old age is beginning to tell upon him. After making a full report of the spiritual state of the diocese, at the request of the Holy Father, I told him in a general way of the civil, political, and social condition of Canada.”
‘Did he know much about Canada?”
“He knew more than any other average European that I hadever met. He was very anxious to know the details of our form of Government; the relation existing between the various denominations and the natural resources of the country.”
“What was he most impressed with ? ”’
“He seemed to be most pleased with the happy relations that exist between all our people and the perfect enjoyment of our well ordered liberty—the liberty of Canada as compared with the license of some European countries. I gave His Holiness full details of the greatness of Canada—its area and its resources; and pretty freely expressed my idea of its great future. My first audience lasted nearly an hour. One amusing question asked by His Holiness, evidently a result of the study of our half-breed and Indian troubles, was whether there were any pagans in Nova Scotia. I replied: “none at least in name,” a reply which he heartily enjoyed.”
‘‘What was his idea of Nova Scotia ?”
He was delighted with the story I told him of our mineral wealth, When 1 men- tioned coal, he stopped me and suggested that that was truly one of the greatest sources of wealth, as evidenced by the de- velopment and prosperity of Belgium }”
‘*He was doubtless greatly impressed with the extent of our great Northwest !”’
‘*He was very greatly impressed, and he not only coincided with my own ideas of the future of this country, but expressed a cordial hope for its speedy realizatian.”
“What about Your Grace’s report regarding the spiritual state- of the diocese ? ”
‘*Whilst I did not pretend that all Nova Scotia Catholics were saints, I intimated that they more than favorably compared with their fellow Catholics in many parts of the old world. As proof of that I pointed cut our steady growth; that we are not only Catholics in name but in deeds and in truth, loyal to the church and gen- erous in their contributions towards its support. And that generaily our people are manifesting their faith by their wapk.”
‘* Does Your Grace know anything de- finite about the widely reported appoint- ment of Archbishop Taschereau as a Cardina’ ?”
‘*T know nothing officially. But I heard some general conversation in Rome about the propriety of appointing a Cana- dian Cardinal—especially since there is a Cardinal in Australia. And owing to the personal worth of Archbishop Taschereau, and the antiquity of his ces, his name was generally mentioned. But I do not know that the appoiotment has actually been made. If not, my own opinion is that it will only be a question of time.”
**How long did Your Grace spend in lreland ?”
‘* About ten days. It was my first visit. I was greatly pleased with Dublin. I saw Archhishop Walsh several times, and many leading Irish politicians, including United Ireland O’Brien—oae of the most mild mannered men one could meet.”
‘*What’s the general feeling about
| Home Rule?”
“It's only a question of tims, Mo one
GRACE—WHAT HE SAW WHILE AWAY— |
expects the bill to pass this year. _Trish- men generally will be satisfied for this year to have the principle atlirmed in the second | reading. The general feeling in Ireland in- regard to representation at Westminster 1s this: The ablest Irishmen of the day are now in the Imperial Parliament. There- fore, for the present, at least, they are por- fectly willing to be excluded from the Imperial Parliament; and leave that quos- to a future set l»ment.”
“Would [reland gevsrally regard the present meagure as a final settlement of the long standing grievances, or simply regard this instalment as breakfast, with the ex- pectation of final separation for dinner?”
‘As far as I could learn the Irish do not desire final separation from the British Empire, but simply want the same privileges of local self-government that Nova Scotia has enjoyed for half a cen- tury.”
‘‘What about the Ulster problem and the alleged spectre of civil war?”
‘Woll, in the first place, the majority of the people of Ulster are Catholics. The maj rity of the Ulster members in parlia- ment are Home Rulers, and this is about as complete an answer as Ulster can possibly give to the desperate efforts of a few fana- tics to work up a civil war boom—and thus do themselves what they formerly falsely accused the Nationalists of intending to do. Some people are under the impression, and are never done asserting, that all the wealth and intelligence of Ireiand centre in Ulster. That is a mistake, as is proved from parliamentary returns, which show that in many respects Ulster is not only not ahead, but far behind Leinster, and generally behind Munster, whilst only ahead of Connaught. As an instance, I may mention that the arrears of rent due by Ulster nearly equals the amounts due by Leinater aud Munster combined ; whilst income tax—generally regarded as the test of wealth—is less in Ulster than in Lein- ster, and also, [ think, in Munster.”
A SEALING ApDVENTURE.—A_ correspondent writes :—On Tuesday last the ice wasin solid to the rocks all along the North Shore, and on the ice were an immense number cf seals. A great mapy were killed and secured al! along the coast, Three young men of Bull Creek, named John Andrew McDonald, Jarvis and Ryan, observing the great number of seals within easy re:ch, started out in a dory. About two miles from the shore they came upon a pan of ice about five miles long by two wide, which was literally covercd with seals Havieg a number of weapons, they slaught- ered a great number. When they expected that they had a sufficient number killed they prepared to start for the shore, when to their astonishment they found that the ice had moved off, the wind having veered round to the south with a strong easterly tide. Their position may be imagined. All around them open water and more seals than they conld reasonably take ashore unier the most favorable auspices, The party were obliged to leave the greater part of their booty behind, and prepare to save their lives Under these circumstances they tried to make the shore—a most difficult task in- deed, but under the careful management of Mr. Macdonald, the voyageurs succeeded in reaching the. shore four miles east from where they started, haviag drifted this far by the tide, and being eight hours iu this perilous condition.
