The Fishery Question from Dif. ferent Sources,

\ special despatch to the St. John Sun says that the cruiser Terror, Captain Quig ley, arrived in Halifax on Sunday last trom western ports. The Captain says there has been a great decrease in the number of American vessels frequenting the western shores this year. He has almost entirely suppressed the wholesale smuggling trade they formerly carried on, thoroughly pro- tected the fisheries, and increased the trade of local merchants by 50 per cent, in consequence of the suppression of smug- gling. He totally denies treating American vessels in a despoticor arbitrary manner, and says had he been disposed to allow them to violate the law he could have seized dozens of them. Instead of that he has prevented

them violating the statutes and thus get- ting themselves into trouble. A despatch from Portland, Me., of the

IP. E.

General Commission Merohants, icc eeite thi

same date says: Officers of the North At- lantic squadron have been interviewed in

regard to the results of the Galena and Yantic’s trip among the fishermen in the | Gulf of St. Lawrence. There is no truth

in the report that the Yantic advised 0.5

tishermen to obey the treaty of 1818. The fishermen have no complaints to make, but

{report the officers of Canadian cruisers as

mm

reasonably courteous. Canadian | patrol steamers are ineffective for the pur- | pose designed. The Galena cruised around Island, visiting North Bay first and

returning through Northumberland strait

'to the fishing fleets in the eastern portion of North Bay, around North Cape, along the east shore toward Northumberland strait, and boarded 60 American ves- sels. Most skippers feel well over their | eeepecte. With one or two exceptions they had no complaints to make of their treatment by Canadians. During the

whole time the Galena was with the tisher- men not one of the officers saw a Canadiao

cruiser, although subsequently they mei Captain Scott of the Lansdowne. Canadians seem to be more = anxi-

ous to enforce strict observance of cus- toms laws than to be on the outlook foi fishery seizures under the treaty of 1818. The fishermen, however, were very gener- ally observing Canadian regulations, al- though few, of course, were ready to take

chances of seizure for the sake of buying bait, etc. Inthe enforcement of the cus- toms laws, Dominion ofticials seem to

exercise the greatest severity toward those American vessels that are manned by Can- adians, Gloucester or Portland men stand a much better show of civil and considerate treatment than one from Prince Edward Island, Cape Breton or NovaScotiadoes. One significant fact was observed by the Galena’s otticers, that when they asked the skippers of vessels that they boarded whether the treaty of 1818 was giving them consider- able hardship, the reply generally was that while it was unsafe to land for supplies, as they were liable to seizure, and while the enforcement of the customs laws was irk- some, they were still getting along very well. They complained very little, but the condition of the provincial people, they said, was pitiable, and during the whole cruise the Galena found more pity for the people down there than complaint at ill-treatment. An officer of the Galena says that while at Point Hast- ings, in the Strait of Canso, he talked with an officer of the port who said that the business of the place had been almost pros- trated. The official himself had been doing a profitable trading business, but the pro- hibition of selling supplies to Americans had ruined it. At Cape Breton there is little money stirring, and the flourishing trade which was once enjoyed by the pro- vincial fishermen and farmers is now gone, except when an American craft comes in for repairs. The enforcement of the strict terms of the treaty is makiug great hard ship, and this hardship seems to be mostly on the side of the Dominion fishermen and

farmers. Our fishermen are often treated arbitrarily and put to great trouble, but, after all, their lot is fortunate, compared with that of their brethren in Canadian islands and penin- sulas. Of the Canadian cruisers, both the Yantic and Galena generally heard

good reports. Their captains were gentle- manly and few of the fishermen reported any grievances. An exception to this rule was the Terror, commanded by Captain Quigley, but it is understood that he has been taken in hand by his own government,

The following interview with the cap- tain of a Nova Scotia fishing vessel has ap- peared in the Halifax Chronicle :

‘‘How about the fisheries under cruisers protection /” was asked.

‘‘Why, there isn’t any protection,” was the reply. ‘‘The Yankees ain’t hunted, or

watched either, for that matter. There isn’t much to say that every man who is engaged in the business doesn’t know. Whenever the fish go in shore the Yankees

go in shore and catch them, and the funny part of it is that when the fish strike east- ward the cutters are all somewhere else.

proof of it can be easily furnished at any time. I saw the Lansdowne three times, | think, but at a distance; I never saw her close. About weeks ago |

two SAW a y ankee getting barrels at Tignish, taking them right off to the vessel at noon day.

Three more Yankee schooners were there too, likely for the same purpose. I saw that myself and spoke to some of the men on board the three schooners I spoke of. One man alone at Tignish has this year furnished 600 or 700 barrels to Yankee vessels. Ali along the coast between Mira- michi and Tracadie, the Yankees were fishing right against the beach, and =i the cruisers don’t interfere. Take my word for it, they don't try to protect the fisheries ; if they did they could. Not loug ago at Miramichi a French cap- tain of a French Canadian cruiser admitted in the hearing of myself and several othe rs that he had received instructions from the’ Government not to be too sharp on the American fishermen, as it might affect the chances of a treaty. I don’t know where they disappear to. Occasionally, when a day is net good for fishing, a cruiser will appear and then go. Then the Yankees come in and fish away all they like. On my

first trip in the bay this spring I was out three weeks without seeing a cruiser. The day I sailed from home I saw the cruiser

Critic. The whole business is an imposi tion on the rights of the home fishermen. If these cruisers met with a too flagrant instance they might seize a Yankee smack, but if there is any sort of a chance they will keep out of the way. When I cruise along our c and catch 300 barrels of mackerel without sighting a cruiser or any of these protection vessels, and see lots and

asts

lots of Yankee schooners doing the same thing, there must be a screw loose some where. If we went to the American coast

and violated the treaty as much as their fishermen have violated it in our waters, our whole fleet would have been gobbled up long ago. The way the business is run now s ali a farce. It is only a wort expense, kept up for appearances, anc galling part of i is thet the Yankees, after catching all the tish they want, langh at us and brag about how they can fool the cruis- ers.”

ES Mohammedan Warriages.

As soon as the boy attains the marriage- able ege his father and mother cast a) ut to find him a wife. The mether looks around carefully in all the harems of her ‘*set ’—that is, the rooms separately and solely devoted to Turkish ladies, in the household of her friends. When she finds a damscl that she thinks would make a nice high-toned daughter-in-law the fact is re- ported, with full particulars, to the boy’s

father. If he likes the description, which is the best photograph he can get, the

mother’s next step is to call on the demsel and invite her to be one of a party to the Turkish bath; for bathing parties are as fashionable in Constantinople as picnics are in New England. The bath, in fact, is to some extent a picnic. Cooks are kept busy preparing for it, and it ends in a dinner. The ladies go in full attended by servants, ‘‘as soon as the parties meet there isa series of endless compliments.” The candidate for mother-in-law pays spe- cial, unremitting attention to the young girl, who is the *‘queen of the May” on this bathing excursion. ‘The bath and dinner, cotfee, sherbet and cigarettes, are beauti- fully adapted to bring out virginal attrac- tions, both physical and mental, to the eye of an experienced would-be mother-in-law She knows a good deal about the young bather at the conclusion of the picnic, which *‘ may last three or four hours.” Then she makes a second and more do-

blushes and is very much surprised, but feels duly honored by the proposal, and promises to lay it before the girl’s father. If he consents, the two old ernors hold a meeting, come down to business and fix up the dower and the ‘* happy day.” nc A a Matrimonial Matters. London supports, or did until recently, a

journal devoted to the promotion of matri- mony. It was filled with advertisements in which persons of both sexes decribed their various at@Stctions, with the hope that they would draw the attention and :.eet with the approval of desirable opposites. In these diescriptions the advertisers did 1ot spare themselves, but told without reserva- tion just how alluring they were; youth, beauty, health, wisdom, riches, and all sorts of particular recommendations were related by the writers with as much ingenuousness and freedom as though they had been des- cribing others instead of themselves. Frank and untrammelled as these confidences were, however it is doubtful if any of them ever quite equalled the confessions of a man
