United States that the whole qnestion will be settled between theState Department and the Foreign without the North American Colonies having a voice in the

ottice,

jinatter, betoken misapprehension of the

policy of the British Empire, which accords to its self-governing colonies free- dom of action, limited only by imperial considerations. The inshore fisheries are the inalienable _ heritage of Canada and Newfound'::1, and these countries must say whetlier and on what terms participa- tion in them should be granted to a foreign country. [t is satisfactory to find that the Government at Washington repudiates all intention of asking any reconsideration of the Halifax award on grounds of subsequent ill-treatment of fishermen. Any further ar- rangement on the Halifax plan, unless pre- ceded by final and conclusive settlement of the headland disputes and rights of Am- merican fishing vessels in British North American ports, would be unsatisfactory

Note—Foregoing probably embodies the official view of the question.

The Royal Commission.

Tue members of the Royal Commission to inquire into the depressed condition of the agricultural interest in England, the causes to which it is owing, whether they are of a permanent character, how far they have been created,"or can be remedied by legislation, are the Dukes of Buecleugh and of Richmond and Gordon, Earl Spencer, Lord Vernon, Sir William Henry Stephen- son, Messrs. Goschen, Chaplin, Cowen, Mitchell Henry, C. T. Ritchie and B. R. H. Rodwell and Colonel Kingscote, mem- bers of Parliament, and Messrs. John Clay, Charles Howard, James Lennox Naper, Benamy Priee, John Rice, Robert Paterson, William Strat- ton and Jacob Wilson, with Mr. Wil- liam Augustus Peel as Secretary. Some fun has been poked by the Scotch Liberals at Mr. Paterson, who is said to own landed property just worth £7 10s., and in Radical circles there has been some disappointment because Mr, Arch, or some other represen- tative of the agricultural laborers, has not been placed on the commissien. _ The com- nission will meet in November and hold its sessions in London, though its members may. visit Edinburgh and Dublin. The assistant commissioners will mainly direet their attention to gathering information in foreign countries,

A Strange Story from Toronto.

AN ATTEMPT MADE TO KIDNAP GEORGE BROWN, OF THE “‘TORONTO GLOBE.”

Toronto, Sept. 2.—A few evenings pre- vious to the night that Mr, Jeffrey was en- ticed across the Don, an attempt was made to decoy the Hon. Geo. Brown from his residence on Beverley Street. Mr. Brown, however,' was not to be caught, and de- clined the invitation. Some nights before this, the chain of the door of Mr. Brown’s house was filled in two places, se that the chains could be broken off by pushing the door when unlocked. On the evening on which the attempt was made, Mr. Brown was notified by a servant that a man in livery was in waiting at the door with an important letter, and that he would deliver it into the hands of none but the Senator himself. Mr. Brown accordingly went to the door, but the man refused to leave the letter unle's Mr. Brown came outside'the door. This: he refused to do, and the man drove away in a private carriage which was in waiting at the door, on the seat of which sat the driver, dressed apparently in the same livery. The matter was placed by Mr. Brown in the hands of the police, and there the matter rests at present.

Terrible Thunder Storm at Guys- borough, N. 8.

GUYSBOROUGH, Sept. 2.— A terrific thun- der storm, accompanied with hail, passed over our town this morning, commencing about five o’clock, and continued without any abatement for more than an hour. Some of the flashes were the most terrible ever experienced. The lightning entered the Dominion Telegraph office by the wire and set the building on fire. A person near by observed the smoke issuing from the building, and bursting open the door succeeded in extinguishing the fire and saving the building. The instruments, ete., are considerably damaged. Sixteen tele- graph poles, within one and a half miles miles from the office, on the Tor Bay Road, are more or less demolished, and the splinters are scattered in all directions. Had the storm been accompanied with heavy wind, much damage would have been done by the hail.
