 iiition of the ri;;litH aixl privileges retained hv, ami «'X|Mes!+ly ynaran- 
 teed to, the I'nited States in the (irst artiitle of that convention. 
 
 Tlu^ history of this (pieslion dtirinj; thi^ |)i'riod from ISIS to the pres- 
 ent time has heen one of iinsiUMiessfnl attempts to adjust the respecitive 
 claims, and (uu-asionally the dilVienlti<'S have Ium^ii l)rid^e<| over by tem- 
 porary arraii^iements, notalily by t!ie treaty of Washinjfton of .Imie r>,

 cles of the latter haviiiu l)eeii al)ro};ated l)y the I'nited States (ni June

 It is deeply to be retjretted that the efforts of tiiis Department, as 
 shown by tiie eoirespondeiiee now submitted, to arrive, at siieh an ajjree- 
 iiient as would permit instineli(»iis ttf lik«' tenor to be issued by the 
 (Jovernments oldreat Ibitain and tin; I'nited States, to tjnide the eit- 
 izens of the respective nationalities in the iuiniolested*ex(M'oise of their 
 riffhfs ot lisliiiif; in the waters in (piestion, and (h'tininj;' the limits of 
 lawful acti(»ii theri'in, have not as yet rea«rlied a lliial and satisfactory 
 result. 
 
 Althouf^li propositions are now peiidin;;' tor considerii.ion, which it 
 is hoped may prove the basis of a just ami permanent s«;ttleineiit, yot 
 as snp|)!eiiieiitary to the published history of t his loufi-standin^' subject, 
 and as illiistratinji: the obvious necessity in the interest of amity aud 
 good iieiirlibo'hood of liavini; a <!lear and well-defined iiiiderstaiidiug 
 of the relative rights of the two (rovenimeiits and their respective citi- 
 zens, it is considered expedient that Congress ;shoul(l have full knowl- 
 edge of the action of the Executive in die premises to assist them in 
 their deliberations uix^n this important subject. 
 
 Ii will be observed in the course of this c()rres[)()iulen(!e that notifica- 
 tion has not failed to be duly given to the Government of Great Britain, 
 that compensation is expected for the loss and damage caused to Amer- 
 ican lishermeii l)y the unwarrantable action of the local authorities of 
 the Dominion of Oanaila, not merely by the summaiy seizure of their 
 vessels and the exaction of heavy fines in advance of hearing or judg- 
 ment. l)ut for the curtailment of privileges to which they were justly 
 entitled under commercial regulations as wtll as treaty stipulations, 
 and the consequent interference with their legitimate voyages, whereby 
 the natural piolits of their industry were seriously diminished, and in 
 many cases wiiolly destroyed. 
 
 It would seem proper that stei)s in perpetuam rei meinoriam should be 
 taken by Congress to allow proofs to be made and placed upon record 
 of these losses aud injuries to our citizens, to enable them to be prop- 
 erly presented to Her Majesty's (roverninent for settlement; ai 1 that 
 for" this purpose a cojninissioii should be authorized by Congress >) take 
 the necessary proofs of the respective claimants. 
 
 Respectfully submitted.

 Dki'aktmknt of State, 
 
 WoHliiiiffton, May 10, l.S8<». 
 
 Sill: On the «»th instant 1 received from tlie cons.d };<uieral of the 
 United States at Halifax a statement of the seizure of an American 
 schooner, tlie .Foseph Story, of (lloucester, Mass., Uy the authorities at 
 Baddeck, Cape lireton, and her dischar^,'*^ after a detention of t\»euty- 
 four hoiirH. 
 
 On Saturday, the Sth instant, I received a telejjram from the same 
 official anuouncihjj tlie seizun of the American schooner David J. 
 Adams, of Gloucester, Mass., in the Annapolis Basin, Nova Scotia, 
 and that the vessel had been platn-d in the (nistixly of an officer of the 
 Canadian steamer Lansdowne and sent to St. John, New lirunswick, 
 for trial. 
 
 As both of these seizures took place in closely landlocked harbors, 
 no invasion of the territorial waters of the British Provinces, with the 
 view of fishing there, could well be imaf^ined ; and yet the arrests ap- 
 pear to have been based upon the act or intent of tlsiiinj^ within waters 
 as to which, under the provision of the treaty of 1818 between (rreat 
 Britabi and the (Tnited States of America, the liberty of the inhabitants 
 of the Unitetl States to fish has l)een renounced. 
 
 It would be superfluous for me to dwell upon the desire wliioh, I am 
 sure, controls those respectively charjjed with the administration of the 
 Governments of Great Britain and of the United States to prevent oc-

 the sanio time, prevent that convention fron) being improperly expanded 
 into an instrument of dis(;ord hv attectin}; interests and a<!complishiiig 
 results wholly outside of and contrary to its obje(;t and intent, by allow- 
 ing it to become an agency to interfere with and perhajjs destroy those 
 reciprocal commercial privileges and facilities between neighboring 
 comnuinities which (!ontribute so importantly lO their peace and hap- 
 piness. It is ol)viou>ily es:<ential that the administration of the laws 
 regulating the Canadian inshore fishing should not lie conducited in a 
 punitive and hostile spirit, which can only tend to induce acts of a re- 
 taliatory nature. 
 
 Everything will be done by the Uuiteil States to cause their citizens 
 engaged in fishing to conform to the obligations of the treaty, and ure- 
 vent an infraction of the fishing laws of the British Provinces; but it is 
 ecpiaily necessary that ordinary commer(;ial intercourse should not be 
 interrupted by harsh measures •••ul unfriendly administration. 
 
 I have the honor, therefore, to invite a frank (expression of your views 
 upon the subject, believing that, should any ditlerences of oi>i(iion or dis- 
 agreement as to facts exist, they will be found to be so minimized that 
 an accord can be established for the fidl luotccjtion of the inshore fish- 
 ing of the B.itish Provinces, without obstructing the open sea fishing 
 operations of the citizens of the United States or disturbing the trade 
 regulations now subsisting between the (countries.

 I havei also to inform you that tint mu.sterH of tlio four American thb- 
 injf vesselN of (llouceHter, Mass., Martha A. Bradley, Rattler, Kliza 
 Hoynton, and Pioneer, have severally reported to the consul-general 
 Ht Ilalifax that Hie Hiib(;ollector of cuHtoms at ('anno had warned them 
 to keep outside an ima>(iiuiry line drawn from a point three miles out- 
 side (JaiiHo Mead to a point three miles outsider Ht. Ksprit, on the Cape 
 Breton coast, a distance of 40 miles. This line for nearly its entire con- 
 tinuance is distant 12 to 1.'5 miles from the coast. 
 
 i'he same masters als<» report that they were warned ajjainst lio'uxif 
 inside an imaginary line drawn from a point three miles outside North 
 Cape, on Pritice Kdward Island, to a point three miles outside of Kast 
 I'oint, on the siinui island, a (listance of over KM) miles, and that this 
 last mimed line was for nearly that entire distaiuie about ."{(( miles from 
 tln^ shore. 
 
 The same authority inlbrmed the masters of the vessels referred to 
 that they would not be pernUtted to enter Bay (Mialeur. 
 
 Such wiiniiii^.s sire, as you must be well 
 
 Miollv unwarranted 
 
 pretensions of extraterritorial autli<U'ify and usurpations of juvisdic- 
 tioii by the provincial ollicials. 
 
 It becomes my duty, in brin{;iiif,' this iiilbiination to your notice, to 
 requ(^st that if any siu^li orders for interrerenci^ with the unquestiona- 
 ble rifxlits of the Ameri<'an llshermen to pursue their business without 
 nioh'station at any jiointnot within three marine miles of the shores, and 
 within tlui delined limits as to wliicrh renunciation of the liberty to fish 
 was expressed in the treaty of 1818, may have been issued, the same 
 may at once l)e revoked as violative of the rights of citizens of the 
 United States under convention with (Jreat Britain. 
 
 I will ask you to bring this subject to the immediate attention of Her 
 Britannic Majesty's (lovernment, to the end that proper remedial or- 
 ders may be forthwith issued. 
 
 It seems most unfortunate and regrotablo that questions which have 
 been long since settled between the United States and Great Britain 
 should now be sought to be revived.

 Her Majesty's minister at \Vasliin<.,'loii hashcen i;-ood cnoii;;!! to comnuinicatc to nio, 
 for niy information, ( opy of a note received by liim iVoin the .Secret.irv of Siiite of the 
 United .Slates, in w liicli the bill is criticised, not so much on acconnt'of its pidicv, or 
 because its iiitiodiiction is rey,arded as inopportune and incon veni(>nt, as upon the 
 t,'roniid tliat any IcHi^i.itioi, liy the Parliament of the |)(Miiiiiioii for tlie jmrpose of in- 
 terpreting- ami .uivin;^ etfect to a contract < ntei-d into by the imperial (ioveriimeiit is 
 beyond the ((mipetence ol' that rarliament, and "an assumption of jurisdiction on- 
 tirely unwarranted," and tljercfoic " wholly denied by the i:ni(Kl .^states."' 
 
 Vour lordship is no doubt aware that legislation of this kind ha.s been frci|neiitly 
 resorted to by t Ik* railiauieiit of the Dominion, for the ])nrpose of enforciiifi treaticH 
 or conventions entered into by the imperial (Jov.rnment. In the present ca.S(' the 
 IcKiNbition propo.sed was introduced, not with tho object of makiiij; a chanj^e in tlie 
 terms of tin* convention of 1-^|H, nor with ilu- inrentio'n of representinij as breaches of 
 th(* convention any acts whi(di are not now punishable as br(!aches of it. What the 
 fraiiiers of the bill soiijiht was nu'rcly to amend the procednic bv which the conven- 
 tion is enforced, and to do Ibis by atta(diiiin- a iiarticnhir jaMialtv to a particular 
 breach of the convention after that breach had been proved before a competent 
 tribunal. It must be reineinbcred that the convention it.self i.^' silenr as to the pro- 
 cedure to be taken in enforcing it. iind tlmt effect lias accor'hnjtiv been j-iven to its 
 jirovisionsat dilferent times lioth throiij;h the inejiiis of acts pi'ssed.'on the one side, by 
 Con;;res,s, .•iiid, on tlie (.thcr, by the imjierial rarliament, as w( 11 ashy the leoi.shitnres 
 of the lirifisli Xortli American I'rovinces previous to contederation, and siin"' confed- 
 eration by the I'arliameiit of the JJoininion. The rifrhi of the Dominion I'arliaiiient 
 to le<;islate for these pnr|)oses, and the validity o{ snch ley,islation as ii'iainst the citi- 
 zens of a. foreign country Ine^, as far as I am aware, not been seriously called in ((iies- 
 tion. .Such Icjiislat ion, unless it is disalloued by the imperi.al tiovernineiit, becomes 
 jiart of the law ot the Umpire. 
 
 The Governinent ut' the I'nited .States has lon^ been aware of the necessity of refer- 
 ence to the Dominion Parliament in matters atlectino- Canadian interests, and has, I 
 believe, never raised any objection to .snch reference. The treaties of 1H54 and 1871, 
 so far as they related to the tisli(>ries or to the coniinen ial ndations of the D:)ni!ni(m, 
 ■were made subject to ratilicat ion by her lec-islatnre. In the same way the treaty 
 under which fntritive criminals from the I'nited States into Canada are surrendered', 
 is carried into effect by nieans of a Canadian statute. If a foreiuner conimiisa mnrder 
 in Camilla he is tried, convicted, ami xecn'ed Iiy virtue of ;, Canadian aiid iiot of au 
 imperial act of Parliament. Sei/.urcsof yoods ami ves.sels for breaches of the local cus- 
 toms law have in like manner been made for many years iiast without any protesc 
 on the :;ri)und that such laws involved an usurjiatio'n of power by the colony.

 RIGHTS OF AMERICAN FI8HKRMKN. 
 
 No. 44. 
 
 ^ Mr, Bni/ard lo Sir L. Went. 
 
 Department op State, 
 Waahmgton^ October 10, 1886. 
 
 Sir: TIip Everett Steele, u (iHluiiff vessel ofCiloueester, Mass., in the 
 United States, of wiiiiih Cliarlos E. Forbes, an Atnerican eitizen, was 
 master, was about to ent«>r, on the lOtli ofSeptfinber, 18«G, the harbor 
 of Slielbnrne, Nova Heotia, to procure water and for shelter durinjj re- 
 pairs. Slie was hailed, w lien enteriu},' the liarbor, by the (Canadian 
 cutter Terror, by whose captain, (iui},dey, her papers were taken and 
 retained. Captain Forbes, on arriviii*,' off the, town, anchored and wei»t 
 with Captain Quifiley to the customhouse, who asked him whether ho 
 reported whenever he had come in. (Japtain Forbes answered that he 
 had reported always, with the excei)tion of a visit on the 2rjth of March, 
 when he was driven into the lower harlar fur shelter b" a storm and 
 where he remained only eight hours. The collector dicl not consider 
 that this made the vessel liable, but Captain Quigley refused to dis- 
 charge her; said he would keep her until he heard from Ottawa, put 
 her in charge of jiolicemen, and detained her Jintil the next day, when 
 at noou she was discharged by the collector; but a calm having come 
 on she could not get to sea, and by the delay her bait was spoiled and 
 the exi)ected profits of her trip lost. 
 
 It is scarcely necessary for me to remind you, in presenting this case 
 to the consideration of youi qrovernment, that when the northeastern 
 coast of America was wrested from France in a large measure by the 
 valor and enterprise of New Flngland tishermen, they enjoyed, in com- 
 mon with other British subjects, the control of the tisheries with which 
 that coast was enriched, and that by the treaty of peace of 1783, which, 
 as was said by an eminent English judge when treating an analogous 
 question, was a treaty of " separation," this right was expressly af- 
 firmed. 
 
 It is true that by the treaty of 1818, the United States renounced a 
 portion of its rights in these fisheries, retaining, however, the old pre- 
 rogatives of visiting the bays and harl)ors of the British northeastern 
 possessions for the purpose of obtaining wood, water, and shelter, and 
 for objects incidental to those other rights of territoriality so retained 
 and confirmed. What is the nature of these incidental prerogatives, it 
 is not, in considering this case, necessary to discuss. It is enough to 
 say that Captain Forbes entered the harbor of Shelburne to obtain shel- 
 ter and water, and that he had as much right to be there under the 
 treaty of 1818, confirming in this respect the ancient privileges of Ameri- 
 can fishermen o;i those coasts, as he would have had on the high seas, 
 carrying on, under shelter of the flag of the United States, legitimate 
 commerce. The Government which you so honorably represent has, 
 with its usual candor and magnanimity, conceded that whei a merchant 
 vessel of the United States is stoi)ped in time of peace by a British 
 cruiser on the groundless suspicion of being a slave trader, damages 
 are to be paid to this Government not merely to redress the injury suf- 
 fered, but as an apology for the insult offered to the flag of the United 
 States. But the case now presented to you is a much stronger one than 
 that of a seizure on the high seas of a shii) unjustly t-uspected of beiug 
 a slaver. When a vessel is seized on the hi;,h oeas on such a suspicion" 
 'ts seizure is not on waters where its rights, based on prior and con-

 Mr. Bayard to Sir L. Went. 
 
 Department of State, 
 
 Wash inff ton. October 20, 1886. 
 Sir: Permit me to ask you to draw the attention of your Goveru- 
 nient to the case set forth in the inclosed affidavit of xMuVdock Kemp 
 master ot the Americuan tishiny; vessel Pearl Nelson, of Provincetown, 
 Mass., which has been subjected to treatment, by the customs officials 
 at Ariehat, 2sova Scotia, inconsistent with the interuational law of ordi- 
 nary amity and hospitality, and also plainly violative of treaty rights 
 uuderthe convention of J818 between Great Britain and the United 
 
 The vessel in question wa- compelled by stress of weather to seek 
 shelter in the harbor of Ariehat, ISova Scotia, and arrived late at night» 
 when the custom-house was closed. 
 
 Before the custom-house was opened the next day the captain went 
 there, and after waiting over an hour the collector arrived, and the 
 usual in w ard report was made and permission asked to land the clothing 
 of a sailor lost overboard, whose family resided in that vicinity. 
 
 He was then informed that his vessel was seized for allowing'his crew 
 to gx) ashore the night hGfore before reporting at the cmtomhonse. 
 
 ihe cruel irony of this was apparent when the collector knew such 
 report was impossible, and that the landing of the crew was usual and 
 customary, and that no charge of smuggling had been suggested or was 
 possible under the circumstances. 
 
 To compel the payment of a tine, or " a deposit" of $200, which is 
 practically the same in its results, was harsh and unwarranted, and was 
 adding a price and a penalty to the privilege of ahelter guaranteed to 
 American fishermen by treaty. 
 
 This vessel was a fishing vessel, and, although seeking to exercise no 
 commercial privileges, was compelled to pay commercial fees, such as 
 are ai)j)licable to trading vessels, but at the same time was not allowed 
 commercial privileges. 
 
 I beg you will lose no time in representing the wrong inflicted upon 
 an unottending citizen of the rinifiu] st-j*^'"^ •>'>(' rw^-tz — '^Ua «.i..--: .- -^

 Sib : I have the honor to ackiiowlcdj^M' the itujeipt of your notes of 
 the 19th and 20th instant, requesting me to draw the attention cf Her 
 Majesty's Government to the [jroceediuga of the Canadian authorities 
 in the eases of the United States flsljiiiff vessels Everett Steele and 
 Pearl Nelson, and to inform you that I have lost no time in commu-

 Mr. Bayard to Sir L. West. 
 
 Department of State, 
 
 Washington^ October 27, 1886. 
 Sir: I inclose copies of two letters received at this Department from 
 George Steele, president of the American Fishery Union at Gloucester, 
 Mass. ■ ' 
 
 The object of these letters is to obtain authentic information of the 
 administration of Canadian laws regulating the sale and exportation of 
 fresh herring from Grand Manan Island and its vicinity, a trade which, 
 the writer avers, has been carried on almost exclusively in American 
 vessels for many years. 
 
 By the statenients of the letter of Mr. Steele dated October 25, it 
 appears that although the vessels employed in this trade are duly reg- 
 istered in their home port as fishing vessels, yet that so far as the pro- 
 posed trade is concerned, they are not manned nor equipped, nor in any 
 way prepared for taking fish, but their use is confined to the carriage 
 of fish as merchandise to ports in the United States, a commercial 
 transaction pur et simple. 
 
 May I ask the .ivorof an early response to the inquiries propounded 
 by Mr. Steele? 
 
 1 have, &c.,

 Sir: 1 have the honor to inclose herewitli copies of the statements 
 with affidavits f;-om Capt. Medeo Rose, master of the schooner Laura 
 Say ward, ot (iloucester, Mass., and of Capt. Jo*seph Tapper, master of 
 of the schooner Jeannie Seaverns, also of Gloucester, forwarded to me 
 by the collectoc of the port of Gloucester, under date of oth instant. 
 
 Ihe hrst improssively describes the inhospitable and inhuman conduct 
 of the collector of the port of Shelburne, Nova Scotia, in refut^iug to 
 allow Captain Rose ko buy sufficient food for himself and crew to take 
 them horne, besides unnecessarily retaining his papers, and thus pre- 
 venting him, with a wholly inadequate supply of provisions, from pro-

 1 linn sent I lie cliict (idlccr to lioanl licr; lie nportcil slic put in for ..iicitcr , The 
 captain was then tolil liy tlie cliicf ollieer to re|iorl his vessel hefore he saileil, ami 
 tliat he must not jet his liicn on slioie, and lliiit lie wunld leave tw o men, w li » inc al- 
 ways armed, on hoard to seo that he did no' oMnTwise liieak the law. 
 
 Ahoiil midiii.i{I I the ca|il;iin hoi.-ited his sails to leave port, tliereliy evadiim the 
 cnstonis law iei|niiiiijf liini to repoit (for wliiidi I rcl'iM' yon to section :i."i of the cim- 
 tonis act), and disrc;iai<linij my iiistinctions. 
 
 The watidiniaii liied a signal, callinj; my altention to his in't, when I sent the ( hief 
 ofliccr to tell him he iiiiist lower his sails and fepiirt his vessid in the niornin,^;, other- 
 wise he would likely have his vessel detained. He did so ami sailed ii|i in e'Mii|iiiiiy 
 with the (diief ollieer at 4 o'(d(j(d< a. m. On the way it tell calm, and the vessel an- 
 chored. The (diiet ofliuer with my Im it's crew mwed him up to the cnslom-honsc, 
 wliere \w reporl"d at (i a. m, ; ami ri'ti.rned, passinjf out to sea at H ,i. m. The i^ap- 
 tain was only a- ked to iipoii his vessid as all others do, Imt was not disposed to do so. 
 
 In tliecase of the .Jnlia and Klleii, she came into the harhorof Liverpool on the 
 9th d .-Viij^nst, aliont .'> |>. in. Heinj; some disiance IVom me, 1 tired a idank niHHket 
 shot to roniid her to. When she amdiond I lioarded Ih;. and the capiain reported 
 tliat he came in for water. I told him to report hi!" vessel in the iiK'niiiiK, as ii was 
 then after customs hours, and that he must not let his men ashore, ai.d that I would 
 It-ave two mei; on his vessel to sfe that my instnudions were carri'd out, at d to see 
 tliat he did not otherwise hreak the law. 
 
 In the morning, at H o'clock, I called for the c.iptaia to f;o to the cnstom-hnnse 
 and told him his men could j;o on and take water white he was re|iorlin^, so that he 
 would he all ready to sail when he retnrned, which they did, and he sailed at noon. 
 
 In th(( case ol" the ShUoli, she came into the harlior jilionr (i ji. m. on the iUh of 
 Atifiiist, at Liveriiool, am a niKnsil was tiled in her case the same as the others. 
 
 \Vhen she anchored I 1 irded her, iind the captain reporled she was in fur wiiter. 
 I told him it was then toi iatc to reiiort at the cnstonis till morniiie, and that he 
 mnst not allow his crew e shore; also that I wonhl leavi^ two miMi on hoard to see 
 tliat he did nol otherwise break the law, and that my iiisiriietinns wcie carried out. 
 
 In the morniiifi- I called for the cai>tain, when lakinj; the .Inlia and Ellen's cipta' i 
 ashore. When there I told him, as I did the oilier, that his men could i^o on lakilij; 
 water while he was leporlin;;-. so that lie could sail when he retiu'iied, and not he de- 
 layed. This they did not do. 
 
 1 have reasiii io know that it was not water this vessel cann in for, as several of 
 
 tl 
 
 le crew 
 
 lived there, a 11(1 it was for the jinrpose of lettin;; his 
 
 ashon 
 
 III not for 
 
 taking waler, that he jiiit in. He afterwards eiiiiu led six li.irrelsof wi.ter, stall nt; that 
 they weiu .soiir, and tooled all day tilliiij; tlieiii, delaying' the tiiiii', that he mi,tj;ht «et 
 his crew on shore. I refused to allow his iM'ew on siiore for any other purpose than to 
 take water, after eompleiiiifi which, the weatl cr heiiif;- tine, 1 ordered him to 8ea in 
 
 tb 
 
 le eveniiii:. 
 The 
 
 lis that were tired were not inteiulert to make them come-to quickly, hut 
 
 as a si;jnal for iliem to either ronnd-to or show their ensieii. 
 
 After the Shiloli s:iiled the h.irlior master infoinied nie ihat she landed two men at 
 the moiilli of the harlior, 7 miles down, liefore she reporicd. and the eveiiinjr she sailed 
 she called after dark and picked them up. 
 
 In many cases it is an iiiidersiood ihiiie between the eii]itains and crews to let the men 
 ashore aiid ihen niaki^ out lliev have deserted. In all eases where a vessel puts in for 
 
 ehelter the captain repor 
 
 Is, and the iet<t of his crew are not allowed ashore, as the 
 
 vessid only put in for the privilege of shelter and for no other pnrposi 
 
 When she jiiils in lor water, afier reiiorii 
 
 Cii.itain isaliowed to take his lioatN 
 
 and the men he requires to procure water, ami the rest remain on hoard, after which 
 he is order, d to sea. When in for nqi.iirs he isaliowed all the piivileees he requires 
 after reportine;. and when ready is ordered to .sea. In all cases, except when in for 
 ropaii's. I ])iai. imui on hoard ti> see rh.,r the law is not violated, ;i;s many of iliose ves

 walks a (leek, and when he ordered the lleet to Mea he went himself, aiiii I know he 
 would not Older a vessel to leave harbor if there was any daiiKir of loss of life or 
 property. We rejiorted at CaHsniiipete. and wen- treated the saint) as at all otiior 
 ports we tonehed at. If our vessels would attend to reportiii;; at the eiistoni-house, 
 ttii^ same as tli"y do in onr ports, no trouble would be met witli. 
 
 "If we had liee (isli it would );ive the Cauailians moiiio reeoinpeiise for what our 
 fiHliemien want, viz, the ri>;lit to f;n anywhere and everywhere, use their liarborH, 
 ship nun, j;et provisions, land and nieiiil our nets, buy salt and b.»rrels, and ship our 
 catch lioiiio by rail or Hteiiiner wilhout, expanse or amioyaiico, the same as wo have 
 heretofure. 
 
 "If we had had tliat |irivilej.;e this year, myself and vessid would have been ig.'i.OOO 
 better <ilf tins season, and all the lisiiennen in the bay would have been in the same 
 boat with me. 1 do not say tha' I am too honest not to iisli w ithin the three-mile limit, 
 nor do I believe there is a vessel iu the lleet who would not, if the cutter was out of 
 s'.^iht. I made two trips to the bay, both of which were very succi'ssfnl, and I lived 
 up to the reiiuiremeuls of the law as well as I knew how, and did not liiid them ob- 
 noxious or to interfeie wilh my success, and everywhere I went I was courteously 
 tri'ated liy the olVnials, especially so by both the i utters. Slionld it be a bay ye;ir next 
 season, I hope to meet them ii^niin. 'I'liose who openly preached that they would ;^o 
 where they pleased, do what they <vanled to iu .spite of law or cutter.-, shipped men, 
 8inu;;v;l<'<li or openly li.shed in-ide the liiiiii, and iiidiil<;ed iu the satisfaction of damn- 
 ing the cutter, the ca|> ain, the ( JovcniMieiit, and evirytliin;; else wlieii they knew 
 they con hi do it with imi>unity, and that the men they were lalkiii!; to could" not re- 
 sent it b,\ word or blow , were looked after sharp, and were not e.vtended the courtesy 
 tb:'t was shown so many of us.

 It would be at most, under tl

 lation, by -.vhich no harm was intended, .•iiid from which n<i liarni came, and would 
 in ordinary ca.-es in asily t ondoncd by an apology, and perhaiis the payment of

 Dijtby is a small fcdiinj; setllemcnt and its harbor not (hdin 
 
 about and anchored in the outer part of the harbor, haviiiy, no busimss at 
 
 nieation with ni;;by, and no reasim for reporti"^ to the ofticer of ciistoii; ■.. ll appears 
 
 by the n-jiort of the consul ;iencral to lie conceded by customs anlhorities there 
 
 that lishiii}' \ i>ssels ha\ e for forty years been acciisti 
 
 o f^o in and out of the bay 
 
 .It pleasure, and have never lieeii rciiuircd to send ashore and report wluui they had 
 \w business with tlu^ poit, and made no lanilini; ; and that no seizure had ever before 
 been madi; or (daimei'. a;iaiiist them tor so doinji. 
 
 Can it lie reasonably insisted under these circumstances that by the .smhh'ii adop- 
 tion, without, notice, of a new rule, a vessel of a friendly nation shoiihl bo seized and 
 forfeited for (loinj>- what all similar vessels had for iso loin; a jieriod been aUovved to 
 do without iiiiesliiin .' 
 
 It is siiflicienlly evideiil that the claim of a violation of the ciistoins act was an 
 afterthon<;ht. brouuht forward to ^ive whatever added strength it niijiht to the jirii

 it may be readily .-id niitted that if the lan}iUa,i;eof the ireatyof HIS is to be iiiterpreti(l

 it would be lialile to the extreme [icii.alty of CiUiliscation for a breach of this ]iroliihi-

 Such a literal construction is hist refuted by considerinj; its pieposttiions consc-

 The very extraordinary pr.. visions in this statute for fa.ilitatiiiH loiteitures and eiu- 
 barrassinn- defens. , or appeal from them, not material to the present ca.se, would, ni 
 a proper occasion, deserve very serious attention. . ,. . 
 
 Theact of l-ri;? has no application to the case, except upon the iK.ml t.f thoomissioii 
 of the vessel to report to the customs ollicer already considered. 
 
 It results, therefore, that at the time of the seizure of the i.avnl. . \ lams and othci 
 vessels there was no act whatever, cither of the JJriti.-h or colonial i.arliainents. 
 wiiich made th.v purchase of bait by tho.se vessels illen;j,l. ,.r provided for any •""•it- 
 ure penalty, or procceilinjis against them for such a transaction, and even if siicli 
 purchase could be leoarde.l as a vi.dation of th.at claus.' of i he treaty which i.s lelicl 
 on no law existed under which the seizure coiihl be ,jusi Hied. It will not be c(.i.-

 garded as innocent, upon olivioiiN ^ronndH of reason and justice, and upon coniniori 
 iirinciples of comity to the United States (iovern-icnt, previous iii>tiee HJionld have 
 lieen uiven to it or to ihe Aiiievican lishe'incii of the new and strinneiit instructions 
 it was inten<led to enl'ori'c. 
 
 If it was tile inicntion of Her MaJ. ity's (Jovernment to recall the instruct ions \vhi(di 
 I liave shown had lit'cn previously ,(iid so explicitly yiven relative to the intertereiico 
 with American vessels, surely notice should have lieeii y,iveii accordinnly. 
 
 The I'liitcd states have Just reason to complain, even if these restrictions could Im 
 jns!ili<'d liy the treaty or liy the acts of I'arliariieiil passed to carry it into etVect, that 
 tiiey should he cntorced in so harsh and unfriendly a manner withmit notice to the 
 Governnieiil <d"tlie idiann'e (d' policy, <U' to the llsherinen of the new danger to whicdi 
 tliey were thus exposed. 
 
 In any vitnv. therefore, which it seems to inn civn he taken of this i|uestion, I feel 
 jiistilied in praiionncii.^ the actiin of the ('aniidiati authorities in sei/inj; and still re- 
 taining the David .1. Adams to hi not only unfriendly and (liseoiirteous, lint alto- 
 gtdher iinwarranlalile, 
 
 Tlie seizure was nnudi aji^jravated hy the iiuiiinerln which it was carried intotdl'ect. 
 It aii)icais that four several visitations and searches of the vessel were nnide liv lioats 
 from the ('anadiiio stiMiiier Ijaiisdowne, in Annapidis Masiu, NovaScolia. TheAdanis 
 was liiially taken into I'listody and carried out of the l'roviii(!i' of Xovi Scotia, across 
 tlie Hay of l-'undy. and into the jioit ofst. .loliti, ?a'w Hriinswick, and withonl expla- 
 iiati(m or hcariiiji', on the followiii); Monday, May Id, taken hack l>y an aniied crew to 
 Difjliy, Nova Scolia. 'I'liat, in I)i;;liy, the paper allejfed to lie the le'j;al precept lor 
 tlie capture and detention ol the vessel was nailed to her mast in sindi manner as to 
 l>rcvent its contents liein;;- retid, and the reiiuesl of the captain of the David .). Adams 
 and of the I'liited States coiisiil-i;encial to lie allowed to dela( h the ..".it from the 
 mast for the purpose of learning- its eonteiits was ]iositively refused liy the proviiudal 
 (illicial ill char;;e. Nor was thel'i.itcd States consiil-Meneral alile to learn from the 
 coiiimander of the I,ansdovne the nature of tlic complaint anainst the vessel, and his 
 respectful a|)plitatioii to th . etfect was finitUss. 
 
 From all the circiiiiistaiices atlendin;^ this case, and other recent case." like it, it 
 seems to iiic very iil>liarent that the seizure was not made for the purpose of enforcing; 
 any rijfhf ov reiliessiii};; iiny wronj;'. As I have Ixd'ore r<'inurked. it is not jiretendi'd 
 that the vessel had heen eiijia<;ed in lishin;r, or was intendiiiii to lisli in the ]irohiliited 
 waters, or that it had done or was iiitciidiiiii to do any other injurious act. It was 
 jtrocecdinj; niioii its iei;nlarand lawful Inisiiicss of lisliin^f in the dceji sea. It had 
 received no re(|iiest, iiiid of course could have disrej^arded no re(iiiest. to depart, and 
 was. in fact, (lepartiii<^ when seized; nor had its master nd'used to answer aii,> iiue.s- 
 ti(ms put liy the authorities. It had violateil no existing; law, and had incurred no 
 penalty that any known statute imposed. 
 
 It seems to me inuossilile to csc.ipe the conclusion that this and other similar seiz- 
 ures were made liy the t;anadian authorities for the deliherat.' imrpose of har.issint; 
 and emliarrassin^- the Ameiiean lisliin:; vess(^ls in the pursuit of tludr lawful emi)loy- 
 nient. And the injury, which would have heen a si-rioiis ont\ if coinniitted undi-f a 
 mistake, is very much ajiyravated by the motives wliiidi aiipear to have proiiqifed it. 
 
 I am inslriuded hy uiy Ciovenimcnt earnestly to \>rotest ;^aiiist these pro(^eedinj;s 
 as wholly uiiwarrante<l liy th'' tre.'ity of IHls, and altoj^ether ineousisteiit with the 
 friendly ndations hithert« existin;; lietween the United States and Ifer .Majesty's 
 Government; to re(|nest that the I)avid ,1. Adams, and the other Aniiiicau lisliiiif; 
 vessels now under seizure in Canadian ports, Iw. imiiiediat(dy releasi-d, and that 
 proiier orders may lie issued to prevent similar jiroccediiiifs i:i the future. .\ud I am 
 also iiistriutcd to inform yon that ilie United States will hold Her Majesty's Goveni- 
 inent responsilil for all losses wdiich nia,\' he sustained liy Ameriean citizens in the 
 disiiossession of their property urowinj;' out <if the search, .seizure, detention, or sale 
 of their vessels lawfully within the territorial waters of British North America. 
 
 The ifiil source of the dillicnlty that has arisen is well understood. It is to he 
 foniiil in the in ilation that has taken place anion;;' a portion of tlie Canadian jioo- 
 ide on ac<'oiint of the termination hy the United States tiovernmentol tlu treaty of

 I, oil till' Hiihjfct of the ('aiiiuliaii I'lHliorii's.

 of May 1(1, iind alwo Ic mine addruii.sid t(< Lord Rosudjcry iukUt date of Jiino 'Z. The 
 retireinent of LonI Uimeliery from otTic- immediately after I received hi.s note, pre- 
 vented a eontinnaiHi- of llie'disfUNsiim with liim. And in reHiiininji the .'luldect with 
 yonr lordHhip, it nuiy he proper to refer l)otli to Lord KowelieryV note and to your 
 own. In doinnHo I repeat in Huhstaiiee eonsideralionn cxpreHsed to you orally in ro- 
 cent intervie\v.s. . .. ,i r» -j 
 
 Mv note to Lord Rombiuv was ((mtlned to the diseuHsmin of the ease ot the Uavid 
 J. Adunm, the onlv Hci/nre in ref.renee to which the detailn had then heen fully made 
 known to me. The points prcHenled in my note, and the ar|;umeiits in .support of 
 them, need not he repeated. 
 
 No answer iw attempted in Lord Ronehery's reply. He declineH to dineuss tlie queH- 
 tioiiH involved on the ^;roun<l that they are "now oeenpyinj; the atteni ion ot the 
 conrtHof law in the Dominion, and ma\ possibly form the suli.jeet ol'yii appeal to the 
 judicial coimuittee of Ht,-r Majesty's privy eouneil in Enj;lan.l." 
 
 He adds: , , 
 
 " It is helieved that the courts in Canada will deliver judgment m the ahove cases 
 very shortlv, and until the IcjchI proccedin>.;s now pendin>< have heen brou^'ht to a 
 cou'elu.sion,'Her Mnjcstv's Government tlo not feel justiUed in expressing; an opinion 
 upon theiu, either 'as to facts oi* the legality of the action taken hy the colouial au- 
 thorities." ,..,,. 1 . 1 
 
 And your lord.^hip reiiiiirks, in your note of August '24, " it is clearly right, accord- 
 ing to practice and precedent, that such di()loiiiatic action should be suspended pend- 
 ing the comphition of i he judicial in(iuiiy." 
 
 This is a proposition to which the IJniied States Governmeut is unable to accede. 
 
 The sci/urcH complained of are not the acts of individuals claiming private rights 
 which can be dealt with only by judicial determination, or which depend upon facts 
 that need to be ascertained bv judicial inquiry. They are the acts of the authorities 
 of Canada, who jirofes.') to he acting, and in legal ellect are acting, under the author- 
 ity of Her Majesty's Government. In the rejiort of the Canadian ministor of marine 
 and tisheries, 'which is annexed to and adopted as a part of Lord Rosebery's note, it 
 
 's said: . „,„.,., . i 
 
 "The colonial statutes have received tli sanction of the British rovereign who, 
 and not the nation, is actually the party wiih whom the United States made the con- 
 vention. The olHcers who are engaged in enforcing the acts of Canada, or the laws 
 of the Empire, are Her Majesty's officers, whether their authoriiy emanates directly 
 from the Queen or from her representative, the governor-general." 
 
 The ground upon which the seizures complained of are principally justihed is the 
 allcation ti.at the vessels in question were violatin;? the stipulations ot the treaty 
 between the United States and Great Britain. This is denied by the United States 
 Goveinment. The facts of the transaction are not seriously in dispute, and, if they 
 were, couhl lie easilv ascertained bv both Governments without the aid of the jndii^ial 
 tribunals of either, and the question to be determined is the rrue interpretation ot the 
 treaty as understood, and to be administered between the high ccmtracting parties. 
 
 The proposition "f Her Majesty's Government amounts tothis, that before the United 
 States can obtain consideration of their complaint that the Canadian authorities 
 without just itication have .seized and are pi'«>cet'ding to eimtiscate American ves.sels, 
 the result of the ])roceeding8 in the Canadian courts, instituted by the captors as the 
 means of the seizures, must be awaited, and the (lecisit)n of that tribunal on the in- 
 ternational (jncstions involved <ditained. 
 
 The interpretation of a trealv when it becomes the subject of discussion between 
 two governments is not, I resiiectfully insist, to be .settled by the judicial tribunals 
 of either. That would be ])liicing its construction in the hands of one of the p.arties 
 to it. It can only be interpreted tor such a piiri)0se by the mutual eoiLsideration and 
 ft,»,.eeme!!t which" were necessary to luiike it. Questions between individuals arising 
 upon tiie t(>rms<)f a treaty may' be for the courts to which they resort to adjust. 
 
 Questions between n.'iti'ons as to national riurhts secured by treaty are of a very 
 difl'ereut character and must be solved in another way.

 RI0HT8 OF AMERICAN FIHHERMEN. 
 
 tho BritiMh luiuister bv Mr. Uivyanl, the Secretary of State will doubt'^sa make such 
 reply an may hjmmii to fiiin to b« called for. 
 
 In varidiiH ntlior iiiHtaiicoH Aiiirriciui v«h8«*1h hav« been mhed or driven away bv the 
 provincial authorities wheu not engaged or pro}K)8ing to engage In any illegal em- 
 
 plovniont. ■ , . , 1 
 
 Some of thewe cawM are isiinilarto that of tho AdaiuH, the vi-nscIh having been taken 
 poHHi'HKion of for iiiirchasing bait or Hiipplii-H to bn nm.'d in lawful tlnhiiig, or for al- 
 leged technical broach of cUMtoni-hoiiHe i-cgulationH, where no harm w»« either in- 
 tended or coMiniitted, and under cinMimHiaiucH in which for a very long time Huch 
 regnlationH have liccii treated an inapplicable. 
 
 In other casen, an arl)itniry extenwion ot the three-mile limit Hxed by the treaty has 
 been announced mo us to include within it portionw of the high nea, HUch an the Bay 
 of Fundv, the Hay of Chaleur, and other Mimilar waters, and American lisherniea have 
 been pr'eventeil from lishlng in thone places l>y threatH of Hcizure. I do not propose 
 at IhiH time to iliscnss the ((ucxiion of the exact location of that line. Hut only to 
 protest against its extension in tlie manner attempted by the provincial authorities. 
 
 To two recent instances of interference Ity Canadian olhccrs v.ith American fishor- 
 nu'n, of a somewhat ditfercnt character, I umspeciiilly instrnctcfl by my (lovernment 
 to ask your lordship's nttentiou, those of the schooncis Thomas F. Ibiyard and Mascot. 
 These vessels were proposing to lish in waters in which tho right to lisli is expressly 
 sncureil to Americans by the terms of the treaty of IHlM ; the Inrmer in Honne Bay, 
 on the northwest coast of Nowfounilland, and the latter near the shores of the Mag- 
 dalen Islands. 
 
 For this i)urpose the Bayard attemi>ted to i>urchasc bait m the ])ort ot Honne Hay, 
 having n^ported at the cuHtom-house iind announced its object. The Mascot made a 
 similar attempt ut Fort Amherst in the Magdalen Islands, and also di'sired to take 
 on board a pilot. Both vt;ssels were refused iicrinission by the authorities to purchase 
 bait, ami i\w Mascot to take a pilot, ami were uotilicd to leave the ports within 
 twenty-four hours on ptMuilty of seizure. They were therefore compelled to depart, 
 to break up their voyages, and to return home, to their very great loss. I append 
 copies of the aftidavits of the masters of these vc -sels, stating the facts. 
 
 Your lordship will observe, upiui reterenco to the treaty, not oidy that tiie right to fish 
 in these waters is conterred by it, but that the clause prohibiting entry by American 
 hshcrmen into Canadian port's, except for (tertain specitied purposes, which is ridied 
 on by thoCamidian (ioveninicnt in the cases of tlie Adams and of some othiir ves- 
 sels,'!, as noapplication whatever to the ports from which tlie Bayard and the Mascot 
 were excluded. The <<n\v prohiliition in the treaty having reference tt) those ports is 
 against curing and drying lisli there, without leave of the inhabitants, which the 
 vessels exclnde(l had no intention of doing. 
 
 The conduct of the pn)vin(;ial otliccrs toward these vessels was theretore not 
 merely uufriemlly and injurious, but in clear and plain vicdation cd" the terms of the 
 treaty. And I ain instructed to say that reparation for the losses sustained by it to 
 tho owners of the vessels will he claimed by the United States (lOverument on their 
 behalf as soon as the amount can be accurately ascertained. 
 
 It will be observed that interference with American tishiug vessels by Canadian 
 authorities is becioming more and more fre(|uent, and more and more llagrant in its 
 dis egard «d' treaty obligatiousaud of the priuciplcsof comity and friendly intercourse. 
 The tbrbearance and moderation of the United States Government in respect to them 
 appear to have been misunderstood and to have been taken advantage of by tho 
 provincial goverument. The course of the United States has been dictated, not only 
 by an anxious desire to preserve friendly relations, but by the full coiiHdence that 
 the interposition of Her Majesty's Government would be such as to put a stop to the 
 transactions complained of, and to afford reparation for what has already taken place. 
 The subject has become one of grave importance, and I earnestly solicit th(< inmie- 
 diate attention of your lordship to the question it iuvolves, and to the views pre- 
 sented ivi my former note and in those of tho Secretary of State. 
 
 The prop(')sal in vour lordship's note that a revision of the treaty stipulations bear- 
 ing upon the subject of the tisheries should be attiiuiptod by the Government, upon 
 the basis of mutual concessions is one that under other circumstances would merit 
 and receive serious consideration. Such a revision was desired by the Goverument 
 of the United States before the present disi)utes arose, ami when there wasareasona- 
 blo prospect that it might have been carried into effect. Various reasons not within 
 its control now concur to make tho i>resent time inopportune for that purpose, and 
 greatly to diminish the hope of a favorable result to such an effort. Not tho least of 
 them is the irritation produced in the United States by the course of the Ciiuailian 
 Government, and the belitd' thertdiy engendered that a new treaty is attempted to he 
 forced upon tho United Sruics Govcrnmeiu. 
 
 It seems appaieut that the questions now presented and the transactions that 
 are tho subject of )iresent complaint must be considered and adjusted upon the pro- 
 Tisions of the existing treaty, and upon the coustruction that is to be given to them.

 Hhe was arrested aiitl boanh'd by a boat's erew from the Canadian 
 cruiser Terror, (.'ajitaiii Ijaiidry wis foiiipelh'(| to proiu-ed to Shelbiirne, 
 about seven miles distant, to report to the eolleittor. Wlieu the report 
 was made, ('aptaiti Landry was inlonned that lie was lined $100 I'ltr not 
 reportiiij; on the previous nijfht. lie answered that the eiiMtom house 
 was not open diiriiijr the timt; fluu. he wis in the outer h^irbor. lie 
 furtlH'r insisted that it was obvious from tin- storm tliiit eiiused him to 
 take shelter in that harbor, from the shortness of his stay, and from the 
 «ireumstan(u>s that his eipiipments wereexeJiisivelv fordeeps(>a tlshiii);, 
 and that he had made no etVort whatever to aiipioach the shore, that 
 his olije(rt was exelusively to lliid shelter. The Hue, however, beiiij,' im- 
 posed jiiineipally throufih the ur},'eney <if (Captain '^iii^ley, eommaiid- 
 iiij; the Terror, Captain Landry wns informed that he was to lie detained 
 at the port of 8lielbnrne until a deposit to meet the tine was made. lie 
 consulted Mr. White, the United States <!onsular agent at Slielburne, 
 who at once teletrraplied the faets to Mr. IMielan, United Htates eoiisul- 
 general at Halifax, it beiii{;<d" trnuit importance to Captain Landry, and 
 to those interested in liis venture, that he should ])ro(^eed on his voyajje 
 at once. Mr. IMieliui then telejrraphed to the assistant (!oiiimissioiier of 
 customs at Ottawa that it was impossible for('a])tain Landry to have re- 
 l»orted while he was in the outer harbor on the ;Hh instant, and askinj>- 
 that the deposit re(|uired to release the vessel be reduced. lie was told 
 in reply that the miiiisti'r declined to reduce the deposit, bill that it mi}rlit 
 be made at Halifax. Mr. riielan at once deposited at Halifax the $400, 
 and telejjraiihed to Captain Landry that he was at liberty to jjo to sea. 
 On the evening of October 11 Mr. riielan received a tvlefrram from (Jap 
 tain Landry, who had already been keptfoiirdays in the port, stating that 
 " the custom house otlicers and ('aptaiii Quigley " refused to let him go to 
 sea. Mr. Phelan the next morningcalled on the collector at Halifax to 
 ascertain if an order had issued to release the vessel, and was informed 
 that the order had been given, " but that the collector and ca|)tain of the 
 cruiser refused to obey it, for the reason that the captain of the seized 
 vessel hoisted the American flag while she was in custody of (Canadian 
 ofiicials." Mr. Phelan at once telegraphed this state of facts to ♦ he assist- 
 ant commissioner at Ottawa, and received in reply, under date of August 
 12, the announcement that "collector iias been instructed to rclciise the 
 Grimes from customs seizure. This department has nothing to do with 
 other charges." On the same day a dispatch from the commissioner of 
 customs at Ottawa was sent to the collector of customs at Halifax re- 
 citing the order to release the Grimes, and saying " this [the customsj 
 department has nothing to do with other charges. It is department 
 of marine." 
 
 The facts as to the flag were as follows : 
 
 On October 11, the Marion Grimes, being then under arrest by order 
 of local officials for not immediately reporting at the custom-house, 
 hoisted the American flag. Captain Quigley, who, representing, as ap- 
 peared, not the revenue, but the marine department of the Canadian 
 administration, was, with his "cruiser," keeping guard over the ves-

 eninient of the Unite*! Staten; wliile, in (!a.se.s of vessels driven by storm 
 on inhospitable "'»asts, both (loveninients have assertetl it, HometinieH 
 by extreme meiismes ol redress, to secure iinlemnity for vessels snt!er- 
 h\g miller such circiimstances from port exactions, or from injuries in 
 tli<!te«l fr(»m the shore. 
 
 It would be hard to coiureive of anythiufj more in contiict with the hu- 
 mane policy of (Ireat Hritain in this respect, as well as with the law 
 of natitms, than was tiie <M)iiduct of Captain (^uifjloy towaniH the vesHel 
 in (piestion on the morninjf of October 8th. 
 
 In such (roasts, at early dawn, after a stormy nif^ht, it w not unusual 
 for boats, on errands of relief, to visit vessels' which have been wtruK- 
 fjlintr with storm during the night. Hut in no such errand of mercy 
 was Captain Qiiigley engaged. The Marion Crimes, having found shel- 
 ter during the night's storm, was about to depart on her voyage, losing 
 no time while her bait was fresh and her ice lasted, when she waH 
 boarded liy an armed crew, forced to go 7 miles out of her way to the 
 I>ort, ami was there under pressure of Cajitain Quigley, against the opin- 
 ion originally expressed of the collector, subjected to a tiiieof i40(» with 
 cos.s, and detained there, as 1 shall notice liereafter, until her voyage 
 WU8 substantially broken up. I am conlident liiir Majesty's Govern- 
 ment will concur with me in the opinion that, as a question of inter- 
 national law, aside from treaty and other rights, the arrest and deten- 
 tion under the circumstances of Captain Landry and of his vessel were 
 in violation of the law of nations as well as the law of humanity, and 
 that on this ground alone the fine and the costs should be retumled and 
 the parties suffering be indemnitied for their losses thereby incurred.

 Hence, rather than subject thetnselveM to tnuii the chaiiecN of sntlering 
 the wroiij-s intli«'ted by ' 'aptain (iuiKley, »* of the Canadian cruiser Ter- 
 ror," lui s(»nie of ilieir associiitcH, they lui^^lit prefer to abandon their 
 just claim to the shelter consecrated to them alike liy huinaidty, aneieiit 
 tith', the law of Uiitioiis, and by tieaty, and fiice the gravest peril and 
 the wihlest seas in ordi-r to reach their lisliiiij^' (grounds. Vou will there-

 ermen from wateis, access to which, ot threat imp'Mtaiice in the pursuit 
 of tiieir trade, is pledKc*! to them by (ireat liritain, not merely as un 
 uni'it'Ut ri^jht, but as part of a system of international settlement. 
 
 It is impossilile to consider su<-h a state of tliiiij^s without t,'rav««, anx- 
 iety. You tian scarcely represent this too stronjfly to Her Majesty's 
 (lovernment. 
 
 It must be remend)ered, in considerinjj this sy.stem, so imperiled, 
 that i1m< preliminaries to the article of 17H'J, iifterwards ad(»pted as the

 Lord Slielburiie, while maintiiininn' the rights of the cudonies when as-

 RIGHTS OF AMKRICAN FIMIIKRMEN, 
 
 Blanc, aiul l)et\veen tht»t island and the Ainerioan an<l Canadian (ihorefey 
 and all the H<*verai channeln and jMiciiiages between the various islands 
 l.Viap lioarthe jiniction of the river St. (Jlairnith tlie lake of that name. 
 By the treaty of 1H4U the j»rin(M|)le of coinujon border privdeges was ex- 
 tended to the* Pucitic Ocean. The .still existinjr (roniinercivl articles of 
 the treaty of 1871. further amplified th*»se niutiial benefils byeujbraclng 
 the use of the inland waterways of either country, and detininf; enlarjjed 
 privileges of bonded transit by laiuland water through the United States 
 for the benellt «)f the inhabitants of the Dominion. And not only by 
 treaties has the develo|)iiiei|t of Her Majesty's American dominion, es- 
 pecially to the westward, been aided by the (Jnitetl States, but the vig- 
 orous contemporatuM)us growth under the enterprise and energy of citi- 
 zens of the Northwestern States and Territories of the United States has 
 been productive of almost equal advantages to the adjacent possessions 
 of the British Crown, and the favoring legislation by Con tiress has cre- 
 ated benefits in the way of railway facilities which under the sanction 
 of State laws have been and are Ireel;; and beneficially enjoyed by the 
 inhabitants of the Doi.iinion and th' ir (rovernment. 
 
 Un«ler this system of energetic and co-operative development the 
 coast of the Pacific has been reached by the transcontinental lines of 
 railway within the ter'ltorial limits of the respective countries, and, as 
 I have stated, the Unitetl States being the pioneers in this remarkable 
 progress, have been happily able to anticipate and incidentally to pro- 
 mote the subse<iueat success of their neighbors in British Ai.ier'ca. 
 
 It will be scarcely necessary for you to say to Lijrd Iddesleigh that 
 the United States, in thus aiding in the i)romotion of the prosperity, 
 and in establishing the security of Her Majesty'^ Canadian dominions, 
 claims no i)articular credit. It was prom^ ted, in thus opening its terri- 
 tory to Canadian use, and incidentally for Canadian growth, in larg'^ 
 measure by the consciousness that such good ollices are part of a system 
 of mutual convenience and advantage yrowingup under the treaties of 
 peace and assisted by the natural forces of friendly contiguity. There- 
 fore it is that we witness with surprise and painful apprehension the 
 United States fishermen hampered in their enjoyment of their undoubted 
 rights in the fisheries. 
 
 The hospitalities of Canadian coasts and harbors, which are ours by 
 ancient right, and which these treaties confirm, cost Canada nothing '>.nd 
 are productive of advantage to her people. Yet, in defiance of the most 
 solemn obligations, in utter disregsird of the facilities and assistances 
 granted by the United ^' ites, and in a way esi)ecially irritating, a de- 
 li 1 rate plan of annoyances and aggressions has been institulod and 
 plainly exhibited during the last fishing season — a plan calculated to 
 driv»- these fishermen from shores where, without injury to others, they 
 [)rosecute their own legitimate and useful industry. 
 
 It is impossible not to see that if tlie uiifriendly and Uiijust system, 
 of which the cases now presented are i)art, is sustained by Iler Majesty's 
 Government, serious results will almost necessarily ensue, great as is 
 the desire of this Government to maintain the relations of good neigh- 
 borhood. Unless Her Majesty's Government shall effectually check 
 these aggressions a general conviction on the [)art of the people of the 
 United States may naturally be apprehended that, as treaty stipulations 
 in behalf of our fishermen, based on their ancient rights, cease to be re- 
 spected, the maintenance of the comprehensive system of mutual com- 
 mercial accommodation between Canada and the United States coild 
 not reasonably be expected.

 Siu: On the »5ih of the present ni( .ith I wrote yon eoncerning the 
 treatment of the United States ti.shing schooner Marion Grimes, of 
 Gh)nee8ter Mass., on October 7, I88(J, in the onter harbor of Shelburne, 
 Nova ►Scotia, by (Ja, ain Quigiey, of the Canadian crniser Terror. 
 
 I received yesterday and now inclose a copy of the statement made 
 under oath by Captain Landry of the Marion (rritnes, and present it as 
 supplementary and contirmatory of my former communication on the 
 flubject. 
 
 I am, &c., 
 
 T. F. B A YARD. 
 
 I, Alexander Laiidiy, nuwter of sclutoiier Marion Grimes, of Gloucester, beiiigduly 
 sworn, do depow and say : 
 
 Tliat on Monday, October t, lH8tJ, I sailed from Gloin'ostcr on a tisliinf? trip to West- 
 ern Bank. On the ni^lif of Thursday, Octolicr 7, the wiinl liiowinj; almost a "^ale from 
 the southeast and a lu'avy sea ruiinin;i;, \v(! fame to anclior in tlie entrance of Shel- 
 burne Harbor alK)Ut midiiif,'ht for shelter. We were then fully 10 miles from the 
 custom- house at Slielburue. At 4.ti() a. m. of tiie next day we hove up our anchor to 
 continue our voyaj^e, the wind havinjf died away almost to a calm. Just as we had 
 got <mr anchor on the bow an otlicer and boat's crew from Canadian cruiser Terror 
 (which laid olf Sand Point some :? nules above us) came on board and told me we must 
 come to anchor at once and go to (he custom-house at Shelburne and enter andclear. 
 I at once anchond the vessel an<l taking my boat and two of my crew started for the 
 custom-h()Use. When we reached the Terror, Uaptain Qnigley ordered mc to come ou 
 board his vessel, leave my boat and luen, and go with him in his boat to Shelburne. 
 I arrived at the custom-house at aboutH.tW a. m., and waited until 9 a. m., when Col- 
 lector Attwood arrived. I then entered and cleared my vessel and was about to pay 
 the charges and depart, wheu Captain Qnigley entered the ottice and told the collector 
 he ought not to clear my vessel as I had attempted to leave the harbor without re- 
 porting, and that the case should bo laid before the authorities at Ottawa. Collector 
 Attwood then withheld uiy papers until a decision should be received from Ottawa. 
 I theu tried to tiud the American consul, calling at his otUce three times during the 
 day, and was uuable to Had him. But in the afternoon found a Mr. Blatchford iu the 
 consul's office, who informed me that my ves.sel had been lined $400, and I wired my 
 owners accordingly. At 4 p. in. returned with Captain Quigley on board the Terror, 
 and when on board he informed me that my vessel was lined $400. 
 
 He theu sent a boat's crew ou board my schooner, telling me to go with them, but 
 detaining my boat and two men, and ordered me to take my schooner up to Shelburne 
 at once. We started and got as far as Sand Point, and came to anchor for want of 
 wind at about 10 o'clock p. m., and alongside the Terror. At 3 o'clock a. m. on Satur- 
 day, October 9, accompanied by the Terror, we started again for Shelburne inner 
 hinbor arriving there about 7 o'clock a. m., and then the boat's crew left us ami my 
 two men came on board iu my boat. I theu went ou shore aud found the American 
 consul, who informed me he could not give me any assistance. During Saturday, 
 SuiUlay, aud Monday I awaited dispatches from oiy owner in regard to the payment 
 of the ..lie. Ou Monday morning, it being the anniversary of my birthday, I hoisted 
 the American flag to the mast-head, aud inunediately Captain Quigley (speaking from 
 the deck of his vessel) ordered me to haul it down, which I did ; but after thinking 
 the matter over, I concluded that as no regular seizure of my vessel had been made, 
 no broad arrow put ujiou my mast, but my vessel only detained until a deposit of the 
 flue had been made, Captain Qnigley had acted beyond his authority, and acting ou 
 this conclusion I again set my tlag at the mast-head. Captain Quigley again ordered 
 lue to haul down tiu> flag, wliieh I refused to do ; upon wh.icb. he came on board niy 
 vessel with eight men, aud asked who gave the authority to hoist that flag. I replied 
 that I took the authority nivself. He then said, "Well, I'll haul it down myself,"

 The question of the right of American vessels engaged in fishing on 
 the high seas to enter Canadian ports for the purpose of shipping crews 
 may possibly involve construction of treaty with Great Britain. I ex- 
 pect to attain such an understanding as will relieve our fishermen from 
 all doubts or risk in the exercise of the ordinary commercial privileges 
 of friendly ports, to which, under existing laws of both countries, I 
 consider their citizens to be mutually entitled free from molestation.

 S[rt: In tbo matter of Mr. LtMvi!s''8 stafeineut oftl.iinu^os incurred by 
 the seizure of tiu- D, .). Adains, I yesterday traiisinitted some |)ai)er8 
 sent ino froui Gloucester, j)erlia]>8 without as mature consideration as 
 theyslionld have received. Mr. Lewis's claim to the lish caufjht, as I 
 take the law to be, is that of owner, but the law makes his owuership 
 a trust to dividt? amotty the sharesniiu their share of the net proceeds 
 of the fish when received by him. 
 
 The master and crew appear, claimiiif>' their loss by the breaking up 
 of the trip. This is their own adventure, and 1 must not be considered 
 as their counsel in this matter, nor as in any way sanctioninjj their 
 statement as to their citizenship, residence, &o. J have to-day from 
 Gloucester the -iHcial fact that the custom-house at Digby have seized 
 under the sections referred to in the telegram tptoted in my last, to- 
 gether with a reference to sectiotis which make this seizure for a $400- 
 peualty a lien on the vessel. 
 
 I learn Mr, Meagher, the counsel of Mr. Lewis at Halifax, is in town, 
 and lioi)e to see him within a day or two for consultation, and will ad- 
 vise the Dei)artment of our views as to that; meanwhile we are hardly 
 ripe for any step of reclamation. 
 
 I beg you to believe that Mr. Lewis and myself wish to conform in 
 our action to the wishes and policy of the Dei»artment, and to rely on 
 its generous efforts to protect his propi-rty. 
 I am, i^c,

 If a duty of I cent per pound could be put ui>on fresh ami salt tisli 
 the Canadians would stop their overt acts and bebrough.t to a realizinj{ 
 sense of the commercial rights of nations, quicker than any other way. 
 
 The fact is Canada ''as nothing whatever that she can compensate us 
 with, ior the privilege of the markets of the IJnitetl States free for her 
 tish. 
 
 Canada is fighting from business motives and nothing niae, and if 
 she succeeds in bullying the United States into any a,(reement by 
 which she can bring in her tish free, said lish unta.ved and bounty fed 
 with fishing grounds in close proximity, while we are heavily taxe«l, it 
 would not take more than t»'n or twelve years to wipe out the Atlantic 
 fisheries. 
 
 As well to allow Englisii men-of-war to enter our ports and destroy 
 our vessels and other property, as for is to see the humiliating spectacle 
 of our fishing industry passing ruder the control of the English flag, 
 through the default of our CJovernment, an industry that all other Gov- 
 ernments allbrd imple [U'ote<.tion. 
 
 IMy own per.scjual. experience as o^nev of twelve fishing vessels; an 
 experience in this business, on this coast, in the (lulf of St. Lawrence, 
 on the Newfoundland coast, and on the (h-and and Western Haidis, 
 directly and indirectly since the year 1848, proves to me conclusively 
 that in what I have here written I voice the sentiments of every man 
 in the fishing business, whether owner or fisherman. 
 I an), respected sir, vours, very respectfully,

 Sir: I have to-day received your letter dated the r»th instant, ac- 
 companied by thoaliidavit of the master of the fishing schooner Alice 
 M, Jordan, of Gloucester Mass., alleging the refusal by tho collector of 
 customs at the port of St. Andrews, New Brunswick, to allo\v the entry 
 of said vessel, <luly documented as a fishing vessel, with permission to 
 to'.:cli and trade at any foreign port or place during her voyage, the ob- 
 ject of such entry, as stated by the master of the schooner, being the 
 purchase of certain merchan<lise. 
 
 Although not disclosed by the affidavits, I suppose the merchandise 
 in question was fresh lish for use as bait in deei>-sea fishing.

 IJEAU Smi: 1 write for infonnatioi! as re,i;ards the seizure of my ves- 
 sels the schooner David .1. Adams, by Canadians. WMiat I want to 
 know is what is to he <lone, whether my vessel is(;ondemned as my loss, 
 or if there is any way that we could demand a trial to si^ejust what the 
 cousecjuences will be, or why I cannot bond my vessel as I want here 
 to use. r am a \wov man, and that vessel is my only suppoit. Now, I 
 think it it* injustice to me as matters now stand. Please answer this

 Washington, June 30, 1880. 
 
 Sir: 1 have your letter dated the 2()th instant, stating the severe loss 
 to you occasioned by the summary seizure by th ^ Canadian authorities, 
 in Annai)olis Basin, Nova Scotia, of your tishing schooner, the David 
 J. Adams, which, as you say, is all the property yon i)ossoss, and con- 
 stitutes your "only support." 
 
 It is proper that I should inform you that the demand was made upon 
 the Cxovernment of Great Britain for the release of the vessel, coupled 
 with a notification that that Government would be held answerable for 
 all loss and damage caused by her seizure and detention. 
 
 Your case commands my sincere sympathy, and e^'er since it was 
 brought to my knowl^idge lias had the constant consideration of this 
 Department and of the consular officers of the United States in the 
 Dominion of Canada.

 We sujiposc, however, thai you are yivin^ it tiie eonsiileratioii that it 
 deserws, and that we shall hear from you when you have reached a 
 satisfaelory eonclusioii. 
 
 This vessel we kept tied to the wharl' three weeks, and only allowed 
 her to "() after we uuderst.iod you had arranged masters and that our 
 vessels could iiave all the privile<^es that we accoidcd ti. theirs. It 
 seems that everylicdy here so uiulerstood it, and this is the cause of so 
 many of our vessi-ls callint;' at Nova Scotia iiortsfura week jiast. They 
 iiotily us that we can have tiie vessel by the payment of a line amouiit- 
 inji to about s<0()(), and that she is not lield for a violation of the treaty 
 of liSlS. but for \iolation of (MistoniN i-e,<;ulations. This is jilaiiily only 
 ti i)rete\t,as they forl)id our ves.><els tlie privilef>e ol' enterinj;' and pisr- 
 ehasinji' supplies, as we understand their law, by the readiiiy, it applies 
 to vessels in the coastinn- trade, but if it applied to tisliermeii there has 
 been (Uily a teehnical violation, and where il can be plainly shown that 
 there was no intent to evade the laws they ouyht to release the vessel, 
 as our Goveruineut did in the case of the sidiooner Sisters, which was 
 held fur gross ignorance on the part of the skipper. The captain of this

 Affidavit of Captain Ciininiighani, of the aohooner Eattler. 
 
 I, AnsiUHtns V. (.'niininjjhivm. master of tho scliooner Rattler, of Gloucester, being 
 duly Hworii, <lo depose and say : That on Thursday. July H, Hrtii, we sailed fnun Glou- 
 cester on aniaekerel cruise. On Tuesday An^just :!d (haviiifj secured a fare of mack- 
 lercl and -.vhiie on on our jiassajie home), at 7 p. ni.. the wind Idowiuf? hard, the sea he- 
 infi; rouf^h, an<l our ves.sel heinj; deeply loaded, witli two lar;;e .seine-boats on deck, 
 we put into the harbor of Shelhnrniv N. S., for hhelter. .Just inside of liie Inirhor we 
 were hrouj^ht to l)y a f,'nu lired from the Caiuidiau cruiser Terror, Captain (^uigijy, 
 and camo to anchor. 
 
 Immediately a boat from the Terror came ahMigside and itscouummder. Lieutenant 
 Bennett, asked why we were in the harbor. My re()ly was, " For shelter." Then tak- 
 iufj the name of our vessel, names of owner and captain, where from, whore hound, 
 and how many (ish we had, and forbidding any of the crew to go on sboro, be returned 
 to the I'error for further instructions. 
 
 RoardingUH again, after a lapse of perhaps forty-five minutes, lie put two armed men 
 on board of us. asked for our crew-list, aiul said if I renuiiued until uuuning I must 
 enter at tho custom-house, but if 1 coultl .sail in tho night to toll his nun to liie u re- 
 volver and a boat would be sent to take them otf. At I'i o'clock that night, preferring 
 to risk the dangers of the sea to the danger of seizure, I ordered the anchor hove short,

 UHUITS OF AMEUICAN FiSHKRMKN 
 
 As you are well awaro, a coriMtructioii lias been placed by the iJo- 
 iiiiiiioii aiitlioiiries upon the laii«uant' of the treaty of 1818 between the 
 United Stati'.s and (Jieat Hiitain under wliicli they iiave assuMied to 
 exeliMle Aiiieri<'an tishin^,' vessels from entiaiic*' into eeitain described 
 territ(U ial waters of Canada tor any other than the three objects in the 
 treaty aientioned shelter, repairs, and to obtain wood and water— and 
 have insisted that the words '' nnd tor no other purpose whatever" were 
 to be riyidly eutbrced accitrdiny to the strart letter. 
 
 This positiou, 1 nceil not say to you, is not accepted by the United 
 States, but is repelled and denied, and that this Department is now en- 
 deavoriufi to secure such a Joint interpretation of the treaty in (piestion, 
 consideied in ( onncction with thesubsc<|ucnt icfiislation byiircat liritain 
 and the United .States crcatiu}- ccaiimercial li^-his in the citizens of both 
 countries, as will enalije (uir vessels, wlieijMTen}ia.«;ed in lisliin;;' or not, 
 to enter the established ports of entry of iJritisli North America and 
 purchase lawful merchandise of any character in open uuirkei. 
 
 The United States hav«' no diplomatic intercourse with Canada, but 
 conduct all such matters directly with the imperial (Jovern.nent, through 
 its niiuister at this capital or through our own minister at St. .James. 
 
 This creates circundocution and delay which is nnav<»idable. 
 
 It is my obje<^t to relieve the (piestion of the rights of imr tishermen 
 from all uncertainty, and to obtain such a conceded, unambinious, and 
 clear detinit ion of their rights and duties in Canadian port.-^ and waters 
 as will enable them to pursue their legitimate business with certainty, 
 and in this duty I am lutw engaged. 
 
 It would be well for you to state whether the vessels so sent to pur- 
 chase herring are to be manned and fitted out so as to be able to take 
 tish or to trade only. 
 
 When 1 have received your answer on the last point I will at once 
 endeavor to obtain a plain response to your reasonable question, and 
 will communicate a rei)ly at the earliest practicable moment. 
 Kespectfully, &c.,

 Sib: I have the pleasure to acknowludge the receipt of your letter 
 dated October 20. 
 
 My original impiiry referred both to vessels under license and to 
 those sailing under a register. Your letter satisfies the impiiry as to 
 those licensed for the fisheries. 
 
 We still desire to be informed as to whether vessels under registry 
 of the United States will be allowed to enter at Grand Manan and other 
 ports, and load and export herring to the United States. 
 
 Such vessels will be maniieJ by a sailing ;rew, on wages, aiul not by 
 a fishing complement of sharemen, nor will they carry the fishing gear 
 which such vessels UvSe when tishiug under a fisuiiig liccMise, 
 
 The fishing interests, I assure you, ai)preciate the courtesy of your 
 oiler to procure thi.s inforniatiou seasonably fur them.

 AGREEMENT HPym^^^^^ JL'.V.liJlH''^^ ^'^'-^''^^S AND GREAT BRITAIN KE: 
 8PEC1ING HIE FISHERIES. CONCLUDED JUNE 22, 1«85. 
 
 NOTICE. 
 
 By direction of the President, the undersigned, Secretary of State, 
 hereby makes known to all whom it may cSnceri. that ti temporary 
 diplomatic agreeme..t has been entered into between the Government 
 ot the United btates and the Government of Her Britannic Majesty in 
 relation to the fishing privileges which were granted by the fisherv 
 mTS" ?i- ''^ l'^'''\y *'ft^^'^^" the United States and Great Britain of 
 May 8, 18< I, whereby the privilege of tishing, which would otherwise 
 have tenni.iated with the treaty clauses on the 1st of .July proximo 
 may continue to be enjoyed by the citizens and subjects (')f the two 
 countries engaged in tishing operations throughout the season of 1885. 
 Ihis agreement juoceeds from t!<e mutual good- will of the two Gov- 
 *'"'."r!I.*''' ,'""' •';''? ';«^*" leached sole ly to avoid all misunderstanding 
 and diniculties whieh might otherwise arise from the abrupt termination 
 of the hshing of ss. in the midst of tl.'e season. The immunity which 
 is accorded by this agreement to the vessels belonging to cit'izens of 
 the Unite«i States engaged in fishing w the British American waters 
 will likewise be extended to British vessels and subjects engaged in 
 hshing .11 the waters of the 1 ' iiited States. 
 
 The .joint resolution of Congress of March 3, 1883, providing for the 
 termination of the hshing articles of the treaty of May 8, 187lT havinsr 
 repealed in terms the act of March 1, 1873, for the execution of the fish- 
 ing articles, and that repeal being express and absolute from the date 
 of the termination ot the said fishing articles, under due notification 
 given and i)roclaimed by the President of the United States, to wit, 
 .luiy 1, i«b;), the ju-esent temporary agreement in no way affects the 
 question of statutory enactment or exemption from customs duties. ois 
 to which the abrogation of the fishing articles remains complete. 
 
 As part ot this agreement, the President will bring the whole ques- 
 tion ot thehsheries before Congress at its next session in December 
 and recommend the appointment of a Joint commission by the Govern- 
 ments of the United States and Great Britain to consider'the matter iu 
 the interest ot maintaining good neighborhood and friendly intercourse 
 between the two countries, thus attbnling a prospect of negotiation for 
 the devdopn.entand extension of trade between the United States and 
 British Xorth America. 
 
 Coi)ies of the memoranda and exchanged notes on which this tempo- 
 rary agreement rests are appende<l.

 The leffiNlation ijassetl »)y the (Joiijfress of the United States, ant of 
 iVrarch 1, 1H73, for the execution of tlie fisiiery artielew of tiie treaty 
 of \Vashin;,'toii, has been repealed by th(^ joint' resolution of March .{ 
 lH.S;j, tlie repeal t<. take elfeet duly 1, ISS",. From that date the enecfs 
 ot tlie h.sheries articles of t.ie treaty of \V;tshin«rton absolutely deter-

 States is eoncjerned, and without new legislation l)v ('on;?ress incMlifvinjr 
 or postponiu}; that repeal the Executive is not e.onstitutionaliy coinjie- 
 tent to extend the reciprocal fisheries provisions of the treatv bevond 
 the 1st of July next, the date fixed Uy the action of Con^fress/ 
 
 Mr. West's memorandum of March 12, 188,"), sufjjjests the mutual 
 practical convenience that would accrue irom allowiuff the flshinsf ven- 
 tures commenced prior to July 1, 188,-), to continue until the end of the 
 season for fishing,' of that year, thus preventin;-- their abrupt termina- 
 tion in the midst of fishing operations on the 1st of Julv. 
 
 It has been, moreover, suKfjest*'*! on the part of the Province of New- 
 foundland and of the Dominion of Canada, that in view of the mutual 
 benefit ai.d convenience of the i>resent local traftic, consisting of the 
 jmrchase of ice, bait, wood, and t-eneral ship supplies by the citizens of 
 the United States engaged in fishing from the inhabitants of the British 
 American fishing coast, the usual operations of the fishing season of 1885 
 should be continued by the fishing vessels belonging to citizens of the 
 United States until the end of the season of that vear, and that the local 
 authonties of Newfoundland and of the Dominion of Canada, in a spirit 
 of amity and good neighborhood, should abstain from molesting such 
 fishermen or impeding their progress or their local traffic with the in- 
 habdants incidental to fishing during the remainder of the season of 
 188o, and all this with the understanding that flu President of the 
 United States would bring the whole question of the fisheries before 
 Congress at its next session in December, and recommend the apimint- 
 ment of a commission in which the aovernmentsof the United States 
 and of (ireat Britain should be respectively represented, which commis- 
 sion should be charged with the consideration and settlement, u})on a 
 just, equitable, and honorab'e basis, of the entire question of the fishing 
 rights of the two Covernments and their respective citizens on the coasts 
 of the United States and British North America. 
 
 The President of the United States would be prei)ared to re(!ommend 
 the adoption of such action by Congress Avitli the understanding that 
 in view and in consideration of such promised recommendation there 
 would be no enforcement of restrictive and jjeiial laws and regulations 
 by tue authorities of the Dominion of Canada or of the Province of New- 
 foundland, against the fishermen of the United States resorting to Brit- 
 ish American waters between the 1st of July next and the close of the 
 present year's fishing season; the mutuai "object and intent being to 
 avoid any annoyance to the individuals engaged in this business and 
 traffic, and the irritation or ill-feeling that might be engendered by a

 Sir: I have the honor to acknowled-fe the ie(!eipt of your notes of 
 the 20th and 22d iuNtant in re^jard to the proposed temporary arrange- 
 nient touehiuf,' the tisheries, in which you state that it is our clear and 
 mutual understanding,' that such arra.i;;einent is only temporary, and 
 that It procecils from the mutual «(>od will of our ri'spective O'overn- 
 meiits, and solely to avoid all <liHi<!ulties which mi^'ht otherwise arise 
 from the termination of the ti \hiuix of 1885 in the midst of the season. 
 Also that the same immunity which is accorded by this Uovernment to 
 the vessels belmij-in^; to the citizens of the United States engaged in 
 tlshing in the British American waters will be extended to British ves- 
 sels and subjects engaged in fishing in the waters of the United States, 
 and that the agn eineiit has been reached under circumstances atlord- 
 ing a prospect ()f negotiation for the develojjment and extension of trade 
 between the United States and British North America 
 
 As therefore there exists no substantial difference between our re- 
 spective propositions and the statements as contained in our corre- 
 spondence on the subject, I shnll consider the agreement as embodied 
 in our memoraida and the (lorrespoiidenco between us as thus con- 
 cluded, and shall inform Her Majesty's Government and the Govern- 
 ments ot the Uomiuion of Canada and Newfoundland accordingly.
