The report of the captain of the Mollie Adams made at Port Medway on the 25th October, contained a solemn declaration that in entering he called for shelter and repairs, and for ‘* no other purpose whatever.” The Hon. the Minister of Justice then took up the other cases, in which Americans claimed that they had been harshly treated, and showed clearly from sworn testimony and the records of the Department of Fisheries, that in every case the charge of harsh treat- ment could not be sustained. Continuing, he said the hon. member for Halifax had spoken for nearly an hour in favor ofa modus vivendi that last year he had de- nounced, and declared that the people of the Maritime Provinces never would sub- mit to.

that we must exclude American fishermen from buying a loaf, sending a telegram, mailing a letter or going for a physician.

“Was an entirely new interpretation we were

the natural result ; but I did not say that to extend in mercy the right to call for a physician would deprive us of a right to enforce the treaty altogether, as was insiuu- ated inthe observations made to-night.” It is asserted that the treaty of 1888 was a complete negation of all our record, but these rights were not ceded to the United States. They were confined to the treaty of 1818 until they chose to buy others, those which we said were ours to sell and not theirs to take. The same contention as we now make was made by the Hon. Minister of Fisheries in’ 1870, and the thing which is declaré& to be so offersive to-

The! wanted to have these vessels boarded before they entered the harbors of Canada, and yet | he says we arenow enforcing the non- intercourse bill! With reference te the | services Mr. Wiman is said to have per- | formed, *he could tell the House that nego- tiations were under way long before Mr. : Wiman interjected himself and proposed that it would be expedient for some mem- ber of the Canadian Government to proceed to Washington. These negotiations were under way some time. Yet the House was told the other night and to-night that had it not beemfor the mediation of Mr. Wiman the two countries would have been at each ! other’s throats. The fact is that between those two penods referred to by the hon. -member for Queen’s, there | was nothing whatever in the conduct of Canada to cause irritation on the part of

Sir Richard Cartwright continued the de- bate, approving of the resolution offered by the Opposition.

The House then divided on the amend- ment, resulting ina majority of 43 for the Government.

All the Island members voted with the Opposition with the exception of Dr. Robertson, who had paired with Mr. Putnam.

House adjourned until Monday.

NOTES.

In the act to amend the postal service, newspapers that are not published once in seven days are those that are to be taxed.

There has been considerable fun and ex- citement over a bill introduced by Mr. Brown, of Hamilton, having for its object the prevention of shooting live pigeons and other birds from traps. The measure has been opposed by Mr. Tisdale and the sport- ing men of all the different gun clubs, and on Wednesday night the bill was lost in committee. A few days later, however, Mr. Brown again took steps to have it re- introduced and its opponents moved the six months hoist. A division was called and resulted in a tie—91 on each side. This caused great excitement, as it is said to be the first instance in which the Speaker has had to vote since 1870. The Speaker voted for the bill, and the main motion be- ing put, some more members were obtained, and Mr. Brown carried his motion with 96 to 92.

The bill introduced by Mr. Weldon, of Albert, is one of great importance, as it aims, first of all, more vigorously to enforce the criminal law, and, secondly, a matter of still greater importance, to enable particu- lar communities to rid themselves of a very dangerous class of immigrants, fugitives

no seizures were made in 1887, was owing to the fact that the Americau fishermen, knowing that the Canadian authorities would enforce their regulations, took good care to give no cause for seizure. Sir Charles Tupper had no necessity to give any such promise as the Opposition refers to, that the Government would back down in their fishery policy, if the jnon-Inter- course Bill was not enforced, The treaty lately negotiated, while preserving to Can- ada those rights which she had so jealously guarded for 70 years, did not sacrifice the honor of the Americans. The Americans have acknowledged that they should buy the rights’ that the hon. member for Queen’s said had been given away. The Americans no longer hold that they are justly entitled to the privileges they claimed. They have agreed that they have no right to {come into our harbors without reporting to the Customs, and have accept- ed license to tranship their fish, buy bait and provisions. Mr. Thompson then pro- ceeded to expose the unreliability of the statements made by Mr. Davies respecting the words used by Sir Charles Tupper.

Sir Charles Tupper had said that it was impossible to maintain all the contentions of his colleagues, but it

was well known he went to Washington, not for the purpose of settling a right as a regular tribunal would settle it; but for the purpose of making a_ bargain, and whoever heard of two parties making a bargain, when both of them stuck to the strongest contention, as to the rights which he possessed? The hon. member for Queen’s contends that the modus gave up no territorial right, yet it ha» the saine object in view as the treaty that he characterized last year as a complete sur- rendering of Canada’s rights. He said that it was no humiliation to go to the United States, offering the modus vivendi, although hon. members can well remember how he denounced the treaty itself, because it was not a fair treaty. Mr. Davies had misin- terpreted the object of the modus vivendi and the treaty, last year, and now misin- terprets the remarks of the First Minister. The hon. member for Queen’s has been all wrong in the views he takes of these ne- gotiations, and in the action of the Gov- ernment. He says the Premier's point was wrong, for this reason : that so long as the modus vivendi was put in force, there could be no wrong done to American fishermen, and no ground for complaiat. He is entirely mistaken. Let us adopt this resolution to-night, let us put the modus

vivendi

' vivendi in force to-morrow, and although it isin force, right to come in and buy a loaf of bread, | come down on our coast and say: ‘1 will not take any license under the modus

an American fisherman could

vivendi, but 1 stand on my rights as an

‘American citizen as contended for by Mr. Bayard and all our peuple, and | claim the | rightto goand buy bait and tranship my cargo _ without taking out any license whatever.” ,in that case the old contentions would be

+

aroused and the Non-Intercourse Bill might be put in force, Sir John Thompsen then quoted from the Non-intercourse Bill, showing its provisions, and s!so from Mr. Bayard’s letter to American fishermen, pointing ovt that it is the duty and mani-

seeking asylum here, on account of crimes committed abroad. Mr. Weldon explained the extradition laws, and said that, al- though the contemplated legislation was exceptional, the case is exceptional,and the present course rested upon strong author- ity. The bill will include all cases of em- bezzlement, and, if passed, will put an end to American boodlers. skipping for Can- ada.

In answer to Mr. Perry, Sir Hector Langevin said the services of Mr. Achille Tobin were dispensed with, as recommend- ed by James B. Egan, the Assistant En- gineer of the department, ‘in charge of the operations at Cascumpec, who said it was not desirable that he should be continued on the work, Captain Gillis, late ot the dredge Cape Breton, who had been serving the departmen* since 1874, was appointed in his place. Mr.J. P. Brennan is not employed as assistant foreman.

Several questions were answered by the Ministers, when Mr. Davin moved] for ‘*copies of all memorials addressed to the Government by the Legislative Assembly of the North-west Territories, which sat

recently at Regina,” and spoke until re-

cess on the wonderful fertility and extent

of the North-west, and extraordinary de- velopment taking place in that country. While the hon. member was speaking he happened to remark that he would like to say a few words to his French-Canadian friends about the North-west. Some non- members sang out, *‘En Francais.” Mr. Davin, nothing put out, began to address the House in French as fluently almost as he did in English, ending by « quotation from Corneille. Continuing again in Eng- glish, he said, ‘* | was emphasizing the fact that we should make ourselves here a patriotic people, and that instead of trying te empbasize the angles of difference that divide us, we should try to pare away the angles, so that by and by we might become one Canadian people, be- cause we have the finest country in the world, and, when we have a larger popula- tion with sentiments such as I have indi- cated pervading them, there is no power in the world could affect us, but we could stand against all the blasts that blow. That is the best translation that I can give of the magnificent words that Corneille puts in the mouth of the Cid.” G. F. O.
