Jur Sea Coast Fisheries. What Senator Howlan Says:

In the discussion on the sea coast fisheries of the Dominion, in the Senate, Hon. G. W. Howlan spoke as follows :

Hon. Mr. Howtan—lI thought from the notice on the paper that we would have been treated this afternoon to a very able exposition upon the cultivation of our sea coast fisheries. Knowing the ability of the hon. gentleman who has just sat down, I thought he would have added some infor- mation of an important character to the history of our fisheries, but he does not seem to know the first thing about those of our own sea coast, He does not even seem to know the value of them. He say they have a value, but what it is he has not §deigned to inform us, and I doubt if he has deigned to inform himself. I doubt if he knows to-day the value of the export of fish of the Dominion. I am led to this

conclusion from the course of his remarks

and the accused the

line of his argument. He Government of neglecting to’ protect the fisheries of the Mari- time Provinces. If he would ask the Marine and Fisheries Department for a copy of the laws regarding our fisheries, he would find in them ample food for refiec- tion, and he would see how closely ant with what great attention our Government have fostered and encouraged our sea coast fisheries. Had he read those laws carefully before coming here to-day he would not heve ventured to assert that the Government have been derelict in their duty in watching over our fisheries. He says the prevailing opinion of this country is that the fisheries have been neglected. I take issue with him on that point. I do not think that his opinion will be endorsed by public men from the Maritime Pro- vinces, on either eide of politics in this House or out of it. He stated also that the great depression which prevails in the fishing industry of the Maritime Provinces has in some way been due to the neglect of tbe Government. Any one coaversant with the fishing industry of the Maritime Pro- vinces knows that sofar from the catch of fish being small there is no year in the history of the Maritime Provinces when so many fish of the different kinds that congre-

on our coasts have been taken as during the last year. If he would take the trouble to look further into the question he would find that the depression which exists in ‘the fishing industry is not due te want of fish, but to want of markets. The fish usually sent to the Mediterranean have been shut out owing to contagious diseases prevailing in that part of the world,and that is why depression exists in certain branches of the fishing industry. He has also stated that the Government have not done their duty in their dealings with the United States. .He contends that they should have had some understanding with the Washington Government before the treaty expired, He did not tell us how, or why, or by what means such an arapgement was to be made with the Government of the United States. He is, as a learned gentle- man, no doubt, conversant with the con- stitution of the United States, and knows the powers which the different branches of the Government of that country possess with regard to the making of treaties. Yet the hon. gentleman has not stated, in a way that any member of this House could draw any intelligent opinion from, how our Government have been derelict in their duty. Weeould not take the Government of the United States by the throat and force them to make atreaty, We know that certain political changes have taken place in the United States, and that the party which governed the country since 1860 has recent- ly lost power; we know another party is now in office, and while those changes were taking place the fisheries clauses of the treaty expired. It was impossible for our Government to do more than they did do —bring the matter to the notice of the United States Government through the British Minister at Washington. We have been on good terms with our neighbors for the last ten years under the Washington Treaty. During that time the intercourse between the two coun- tries, commercial and otherwise, has been very pleasant. Butit happens that there is a disturbance in the political family at Washington just now, and we were willing to let them have the use of our fisheries until the meeting of Congress, when they would be able to decide whether the Treaty should be renewed or not. The Government had good reason to believe that due consideration would be given to the question, but it so happens that while the House of Representatives iss{Democratic the Senate is Republican, and it would be impossible, even though the House favored a renewal of the Treaty, to have it sanctioned by the Senate. I was in Washington about six weeks ago and visited both Houses very frequently, and I know the difficulty of the situation. Our Government did all that they could; they exercised the best wisdom they possessed until they found negotiations unavailing, and now they have concluded to protect our fisheries, As soon as it became appar- ent that the Treaty would not be renewed, they are fitting out eight sailing vessels and one steamer. Now let me enlighten my hon. friend from Woodstock with regard to the use of the steamers for the protection of our fisheries. If the hon. gentleman was at all well informed on the subject he would not assert that steamers should be used for the purpose. Fishermen are wary fellows and can see the smoke of a steamer a long way off, whereas schooners of their own style cannot be so easily watched. There- fore, while it is well to have one steamer for important purposes, the best class of vessels to serve as Marinej Police is the kind advertised for by the Govern- ment — schooners of about ninety tons. The hon. gentleman seems to think that we should be in a position to

Srnece Copies Two Cents

VOL, 18--NO, 15

/make a Treaty whether the American Gov- ‘ernment like it or not, and he quotes the views, ideas and opinions of Senator Frye, ‘but he does not know whether Senator |Frye is from Maine or New Hampshire; however, it makes very little difference, so ‘far as renewing the Treaty is cerned. I have reason to believe that the United ‘States Government would be ‘willing to consider this question on its merits ifpthey saw any course open to them to meet the views of the Canadian Government, but that being impossible, we have to protect our fisheries, and I have no doubt that the Government are taking proper steps for that purpose. But the hon. gentleman says that we ought to pass a special Act to prevent the sale of bait to the United States fishermen. We have already an Act on

that subject. The Treaty of 1818 preventa.

American fishing vessels from entering our harbors except for wood and water.

Hon. Mr. Kauipach—And refuge J

Hon. Mr. HowLan—And then they can only remain for 24 hours, Having had something to do with this industry in Prince Edward Island I have some pragti- cal knowledge on the subject. The hon. gentleman says that the sum paid for the protection of the fisheries, and the amounts given from time to time to our fishermen in

the way of bonuses and premiums, have been lost. If the hon. gentleman would go down to the County of Lunenburg he would find there as fine a class of fishing vessels as can be found on salt water, the result of the assistance given by this Gov- ernment tc the fishing industry.

Hon. Mr. Powzer—No, no.

Hon. Mr. Howtan—I venture to make this statement, and I think I am as good a judge of that class of vessels as my hon. friend from Halifax. I had occasion to pass through the Straits of Canso within the last two years and I was quite surprised to see, lying side by side with the finest class of tessels from Gloucester, our own vessels from Lunen- burg equally good. They are really a credit to the Dominion, and to the Port of Lunenburg from which they come. I say more, that the assistance given by this Government to the fisheries of the Mari- time Provinces has produced excellent results, and if we wish to find what they are in @ monetary way we have ouly to take the exports of the different classes of fish from the Maritime Provinces and thus reach a very intelligent conclusion. My hon. friend, usually well informed as he is on public questions, has not given pro- per attention to this subject. Coming as I do from a Province largely inbdaohall in the fisheries, and having some experience of the industry myself, i am in a position to say that the Government have fully and ably done their duty. Ido not think they can be accused of having in any way failed to protect and assist, either the deep sea or the in-shore fisheries, and that is the opin- ion expressed by a majority of the fisher- men of the Maritime Provinces.

The Royal Household. The personal household of Queen Vic- toria is composed of over a theusand per- sons, costing yearly a sum of $1,945,000. It consists of a Lord Steward, a Lord Chamberlain, a Master of the Horse, each with asalary of $10,000; a Keeper of the Privy Purse at $11,000, with three assist- ants, at $3,000 each; a Treasurer, a Con- troller, a Vice-Chamberlain; a Controller of Accounts, a Master of the Household, a Master of the Ceremonies, a Master of the Buckhounds, each at $6,000 per annum ; a Grand Faleoner at $6,000; an Usher of the Black Rod at $10,000; a Mistress of the Robes at $3,000; eight ladies of the bed- chamber at $2,500;ten bedchamber women at $1,500 each; ten maids of honor at $1,600; fourteen equerries at $3,500: eight pages of honor at $750; eight lords in wait- ing at $4,000; fourteen grooms in waiting at $2,000; ten gentlemen ushers at $400; ten sergeants-at-arms ata similar salary; a poet laureate (Lord Tennyson) at $500 annum; a painter-in-ordinary, a marine painter, a sculptor-in-ordinary, a surveyor of pictures, at $1,000; an examiner of plays at $3,000; a principal chef de cuisine at $4,000 per annum; a principal cellar master at $2,500; 9 house-keepers, 130 housemaids, and, lastly, an official rat-catcher at Wind- sor, at a salary of $80; and another for Buckingham palace at $60. All these pay- ments, even down to the salary of the official rat-catcher, have to be submitted every year to the House of Commons, ie eee ————

Proposed Aquatic Carnival.

If hopes which are now entertained are to any degree fully realized, an aquatic carnival of exceptional interest, both to Great Britain and the Colonies, is likely to be wilnessed on the Thames this Summer. Beach, the champion of the world, has, it is stated, finally arranged to leave Austra- lia for England this month, and, having decided not to row any matches on either yCanadian or American waters, will challenge all comers in contests on the Thames. It is quite within the bonds of possibility that Hanlan, Wallace Ross and Teemer will be induced to cross the Atlentic, and should this prove to be the case, some interesting trials of strength are lixely to ensue be- tween Canadian, American and Australian scullers.

A Very New Wrinsiz —* I—I don't understand this at all,” said Smith, as he looked over the bill.

** Why, it’s a bill for a pair of bronze vases at $25 per pair,” replied the collector,

“Bronze vases? Why I never bought such a thing in my life! We have a pair in the house, but they were a wedding pres- ent.”

** Presented by whom ?”

** By my friend Green.”

‘Exactly. He told us to wait three months and send the bill to you. That has come to be the fashion now, and I'm surprised that you don't catch on. I'li re ceipt it. Thanks. Fine weather this.”
