18. The settlement of the fisheries question has already created an angery controversy between the government and opposition organs. The liberals, or opposition papers, unaniamously deplore the alleged result, a Montreal and Halifax newspaper accusing i. Messrs. Tapper Chamberlain of will fully sacrificing Canadian interests.

From first it was appearent that the negotiations must end either in a complete fizzle or a sacrifice of Can ada's interests. The worst has hap pened. A. CYCLONE. Chicago, Feb.

A dis patch was received here to-night that a cyclone had struck Mount Vernon, 111., to-day, virtually de stroyed it, killing at least thirty-eight liberals had gained in the election at South work. In a moment the liberals were on their feet cheering and waving their hats. The news quickly spread emong the conservatives and Mr. Goschen stood aghast and finished his speech in a low tone approaching entire collaspe.

GERMANY. Berlin, Feb. IS. Count Kalko-ky, in conversation at an Austrain parliamentary reception last Wednesday, compared the position of the European statesmen toward peace to that of doctors watching at the bedside of a dying man. "Our duty," he said, "is to employ every means in our power to prolong its days, and even although we are certain that our efforts will be futile, we must endeaver to postpone the moment which will breathe its last." These words are a fanciful reflection of the official conviction in Berlin.

The latest estimates by Berlin military experts, based on the most trustworthy reports, placing the number of Russian troops on the Prussian, Austrain, and Roumanian frontiers at over 800,000. Berlin, 19. At midnight a bulletin was sent out saying: "The crown prince is somewhat better. His cough is less troublesome. Although going on fairly he does not show the average power of recuperation." The Daily News correspondent at San Remo says: "The doctors are persons.

If an read-ers of this are musicians, and would like to come to the Metropolis of the great South-West, they will find it of benefit to correspond with the undersigned.

Situations can be procured for men of any profession. A fine orchestra of ten insturments was organized under the band recently. Prof. Beach, a musician who has no peer in the state of Kansas, and but few in the United States, is the leader of the orchestra, playing first violin. This band and orchestra have every prospect of taking first rank in the state.

I neglected to state that the band has handsome uniforms of navy blue cloth, richly trimmed in scarlet, and gold lace. I see that what I intended to be a short note, has grown into a long communication, and one which perhaps to a msjority of your readers may appear without interest I would say, that the band is exclusively Catholic, and none others need apply for admission.

Mr. William O'Brien's calm and dignified speech on his return to parliament after imprisonment continues to be the political sensation of the day. It produced a marked impression. The Pall Mall Gazette says this evening: Mr. O'Brien has won at a single bound the position of a parliamentary debater of the first rank.

Nothing has been finer during this parliament than the masterly speech in which the late prisoner arraigned his jailer (Balfour) challenged him face to face to make the insinuation indulged in while his victim was under lock and key. Similar comments appear in the Liberal newspapers. The Tory whips and prearranged that Mr. Balfour should reply to Mr. O'Brien immediately but Mr.

Balfour evidently found the task too difficult. It was declared on the Liberal side that the chief secretary had funked and the Tories could not take plans to deny their belieft This show of the case seems strengthened by the opening sentences of Mr. Balfour's reply to- night, which were I to the effect that he had wished to take a careful survey of the situation before stating the government's case and to procure disproof of assertions that had been made. The alleged disproof consisted of some of the always obtainable statements of party officials. The fairest comparison1 of the election yesterday at Dundee, by which a Gladstonian, Mr.

The play was the first of the season and consisted in the enactment of the drama entitled "Proscribed Heir," by J.

A. Lyons, A. and the portrayal of a panto nale "Devil in the Sour Krout Barrel." The various players creditably sustained their parts and greatly surprised and pleased the assembled audience. The first play admirably represented the triumph of the innocent after long years of persecution and the final discomfiture of the wicked after the enjoyment of a few years' bloated success. The Pantomime caused unusual merriment aud was heartily appreciated by all.

Music from the College Band and Orchestra at separate intervals tended greatly to relieved the strain of thought and relax the concentrated intrest as the play slowly progressed. At the close of the last scene Mr. Frank Connors appeared upon the stage and in a few well chosen words thanked the audience for their kind attention and bade them good night. Players, whose performance elicited general praise were: P. Williams, S.

It is possible now to give a clearer view of what the fishery treaty actually proposes than was upon the basis of the information collected necessarily with so much haste and under so ranch difficulty yesterday.

A gentleman who has read the draft of the treaty says: "The United States has gained almost all it has contended for is the fishery matter, with' the exception of the right tb purchase bait. It has secured most of the commercial privileges which were certainly denied by the treaty of 1818. The fishing vessels will have the right to touch and trade in Canadian ports, and to have all the privileges which merchantmen of friendly nations have, with the exception that the purchase of bait is excluded. The equivalent which the United States gives to Canada in return for the concessions, if you shoose to so put it, or in recognition of commercial rights and privileges, if you prefer to put it that way, is that the theory for which Great Britain has contended in respect to the marine league is in part recognized, but this recognition is only in part, for Great Britian is compelled to abandon the headland theroy and cannot claim exclusive jurisdiction over any of the great landlocked bays. The marine league limit is to Be fixed some say, at three miles from shore.

I am confident you will find when the treaty is published that it will be four miles from In cases of bays which are eight miles wide at their mouth, the treaty specifies that the bay shall be exclusively within the jurisdiction of Canada, and in the case of a number of bays where the distance between the head-lands is a fraction more than eight miles, the United States consented that these waters shall be regarded as within exclusive jurisdiction of Canada. The theory ha been in these cases that the marginal fraction over the eight-mile width would be so small that it would give no practical advantage to the American fishermen. "While the boundry limitations would be so narrow that if American fishermen The cyclone struck Mount Ver non, 111., at 4:50 o'clock to-day from the northwest, sweeping around in a half-circle and leveling half the town.

Mr. Gladstone's short speech in the house of commons to-night in reply to Chief Secretary Balfour was pronounced by the old members to be one of the finest oratorial efforts in the parliamentary 4 career of the veteran statesman. Mr. Gladstone said, had apparently been leveled at himself.

The Washington agent of the Associated Press sought an interview with General Sheridan this evening for the purpose of ascertaining whether he would consent to make an authoritative statement in regard to his alleged presidential candidacy. General Sheridan said I know nothing more about this alleged 'boom' than what I have read in the papers, except that now and then some friend has twitted me about becoming a candidate.

But if the matter is now discussed seriously, it is time that all parties concerned should be informed that they are wasting their breath. I have never had the presidential bee in my bonnet, and I don't intend to have for there is nothing that would induce to Irish home rule, and was elected to parliament by the unionists, but endeavored to fish within such nar-row enclosures there would be constant opportunities offered for quar-sels bet ween the fishermen of the two countries. As to all other bays and inlets and the entire Canadian 3hore, the four mile limit is definitely fixed as the boundary of the inshore fisheries. The Canadians expected that the Americans would insist that these inshore fisheries were the most valuable, and that the Americans wished to obtain at least an equal right to fish in them. But the American commissioners, in making this concession, have acted in strict accordance with the position which the fishermen themselves have taken, that they did not expect the inshore fisheries to be of special value; that they are, in fact, of little value when compared with the deep sea fishing, and that the American- fishermen would be very willing: to relinquish any claim to the inshore fisheries, provided they could secure the right to trade in the Canadian gorts.

It is to be noted, however, that in making this definition as to the boundary it is limited entirely to questions relating to the fisheries between the two countries, and this interpretation of the marine league is not applied to other waters of the United States to the Chesapeake bay or to Alaskan waters, for instance. The American commission ers would never have been likely to have been yielded this principle as to the Chesapeake bay, and the difference between the two governments with respect to Behring sea are not brought into the treaty.
