THE riSHEBLES QUESTION, j
The attempt of the Canadian i
cruiser Vigilant to seize the1,
American schooner Hattie Maud
on the 20th of April, her chase of
the schooner and her Bring upon
the fishermen, have aroused a new
interest n the fishery question,
and the action of Canada has ex
cited much comment.
The difficulty, says the Chroni
cle, grows out of the con&tructloh
of the three-mile limit, and arises in
this vvay: Canada insists that in
defining the three-mile limit, with
in which it is unlawful for the fish
ermen' of the- United States to
fish, the line should be drawn from
a point three miles from a cape or
the next headland, while our fish
ermen contend that the line should
follow the meanders of the shore,
and that if at any time they are
more than three miles from the
shore on a linfe drawn at right an
gles to the.cpast line at that point,
they are not violating the law or
the treaty. If any one will make
for himself a rough diagram of a
coast indented with bay and har
bors and inlets, it will be apparent
that tho Canadian interpretation of
the three-milo limit includes a
great deal of fishing ground which
our fishermen's construction of tho
law would leave open to ihem.
The whole coast of New Bruns
wick and Nova Scotia is of this
character, being ragged and irreg
ular, broken up along its whole
length with inlets. Grand Manan
island, near which tho attack of
the Vigilant took place, is an 'isl
and off the coast of Maine, belong
ing to New Brunswick. It is in
the entrance to the Bay of Fundy,
and its vicinity has been a noted
fishing ground for many years for
the Gloucester ajid other Massai"
chusetts fishermen.
It is not necessary at this time
to review the various treaties af
feoting the fishing question, from
thetrdatyToT peace between Great
Britain and the United States, ne
gotiated in 1783, down to the
treaty of "Washington, signed and
ratified in 1871. Suffice it to say
that under this last treaty the
privilege of in shore fishing that
is within the three-mile limit was
thrown open for twelve years, and
this term was extended to July 1,
18S5, by mutual agreement. It
was for this twelve-year concession
that we paid Great Britain, undr
the remarkable decision of the
fishery commission, tho sum of
5,500,000.
But now that this treaty has ex
pired by limitation, and we are
obliged to fall back on tho treaty
of 1818, difficulties are constantly
ansmg.most of them growing out ot
.the' three-mile limit, it must he con
ceded that vessels of tho United
states, fishing within three miles
of the nearest portion of the Ca
nadian shore, are properly liable
to seizure, as would Canadian ves
sels be if fishing within throe miles
of the Maine shore; but the ques
tion continually recurs, what is
the three-mile limit?
. .The retaliation act of the last
congress was-based upon another
pbase.of the fishing question. Un
der the treaty of 1818, above re
ferred to, vessels of the United
States were permitted to go into
Canadian harbors to purchase sup
plies;" but in "1886 tho Dominion
parliament passed an act provid
ing that the Canadian customs
officers, might bring any vessel
being within' any harbor in Cana
da, 'or "hovering in British waters
within three marine miles of the
shore, into pqrt, and search her
I'cargo and examine the "master on
oatn touching tho cargo and the
voyage; and any foreign vessel
entering such waters for any pur
pose not permitted by treaty or
by the law of Canada should be
forfeited. Under that act numer
ous seizures were made, many of
them, it is claimed, unlawfully,
and many of them under circum
stances of .great hardship to the
vessels and their masters and
crews.
To put a .stop to , that, congress
passed what is called the retalia
tion act, providing, in brief, that
ish?e c the ' Preli?lnt of- f
I I IntifAH Srornn cKaiiIH l-r tseltlmr
that our fishing vessels had been
unjustly vexed or harassed by
Canada heJ.might, by proclama
tion, exclude Canadian vessels
from ports o the Uuited States,
and might also deny entry into any
port of the United States .of Cana
dian fish. '
llere, then, is where the matter
stands, and it will be seen at once
that there are so many points of
possible friction that serious diffi
culty may arise at any time. A,
great deal of hard feeling has been
already excited, and while it is
true that Canada will suffer njpfe
from the retaliation act than we
shall from their act, yet that fact
will only serve to keep up unpleas
ant feelings and semi-hostile rela
tions. The whole" matter should be
settled by opening the in shore
fisheries to our fishermen, upon
payment, perhaps, of a reasonable
sum to the Canadian government,
and by a genuine effort on ihe
part of both Canada and the
United States, to restore and
maintain amicable relations.

The present state of work pre

of waste and incompetency, noth

results. Nor does the future under
the present control promise any
thing more satisfactory. To-day
there are only about fifty men
employed in excavating here
and there a pit that the
summer floods will in all
probability fill up again; the
lower half is under water and
another month will submerge the

operations during ihe summer.
