French & Newfoundland Fishermen WRANGLING ABOUT THEIR RIGHTS. The Worst Feared. Hatrrax, N. S., May 20. Private letters from Bay St. George represent that the relations between New- foundland and French fishermen on the disputed French shore are reaching a crisis. The commander of the British warship Lily tssued a proclamation to the effect that he would not permit Newfoundland fishermen to set their nets to catch herring, and if they did so he would coufiscate the nets. An indignation meeting was held and strong language used. The proclamation, which was posted up in public places, was quickly torn down by the infuriated people. St. George’s Bay isagreat herring fishing ground. Some 2,000 people there live almost en- tirely by catching herring and exporting themto Canada. The French are given ‘concurrent rights”, by treaty to that part of Newfoundland, but claim exclusive jur- isdiction; and now that they cannot get bait in other portions of Newfoundland they are exerting their claims of exclusiveness Bay St. George and supplying themselves with bait there. This prevents the british inhabitants from getting tish, which would, of course, inter- fere with the French, and a British war snip is there to prevent any interference. One writer says it is a question of bread fur his children, and if necessary he will use his rifle to enforce his rights. They must either do that or abandon that part of the British Empire to France. The herring spawn this week, and the writer predicts bloodshed. over Nothing Being Done. WasHineTon, May 20. Inquiry at the Department of State as to the report from Ottawathat a British war vessel is to be sent to Behring Sea to in- vestigate seizures of illegal sealers elicited the fact that nothing had been done by this government in the matter since the issue of the President’s proclamation which distinctly notified all nations of the inten- tion of the United States to protect Seal and fish life from depredations. At present the only Government vessels in Alaska waters are Revenue cutters, but they will soon be re-inforced by the man-of-war Thetis. Fishery Intelligence Bureau. Orrawa, May 20. In accordance with Commander Gordon’s recommendation, the Minister of Fisheries has decided to establish at once a fishery intelligence bureau at Halifax, which for the present season will be under the man- agement of the clerk in the office of the Board of Examiners of Masters and Mates. ee Geological Survey.

Sister St. Robert, for several years past chief teacher in St. Ann’s Convent, left for Montreal this morning. We regret very much to learn that the change is made necessary because of failing health. Since Sister St. Robert became connected with St. Ann's Convent she has done much good work in the matter of educating and otherwise improving the condition of many of the poor children of the parish, and her departure inthe midst of a career of usefulness is greatly to be re- gretted. Speaking of his father’s physical recrea- tions, Mr. Herbert Gladstone says: ‘‘ He used to be chiefly fond of rowing, riding and shooting, but during the last twenty or twenty-five years, he has had to give up these forms of exercise, and, as is well known, to confine himself mainly to cutting down trees, which he does habitually. He also was « great walker, and not more than fifteen years ago he walked thirty-five miles over the hills in Scotland. In my opinion, he is still good for a twenty-five mile tramp. He always attached the greatest importance to physical recreations, and he lost no oppor- tunity of encouraging usin them. He has proved their benefits, and I think is not a bad eae = —_ value. Butit was only in manly sports and games, in rational recrea- tions, that he stimulated and [éd us. Professor Alexander’s Successor. Hauirax, May 20.
