Evelyn, of Gloucester, Maas put in
hereto boy herring for bait to use in
cod nehiag on the Grand banks. Col
lector of the port. Hirst, boarded the
vessel aad demanded the light-house
dues of $16. All seven of the light
houses on the coast are erected and
maintained by the Canadian govern
ment, and the New Foandland authori
ties have never put up a single light
house on the French ' shore. Captain
George McLean, master of the schooner,
refused to pay the collector, who threat,
ened to seize tbe vessel, and tbe dues
were then paid, after formal protest
The collector nest notified Captain Mc
Lean not to buy bait until he had pro
cured a license under the new bait act.
This would coat gCi. lie threatened a
seizure if Captain McLean 'tried to
evade the law. McLean claimed the
right under the treaty of 1818 to get
bait on the French ahore, and denied
the power of tbe local government of
New Foundlaod to obstruct tbe opera
tion of a treaty made between Great
Britain and the United Slates. He
reminded the collector that tbe entire
fleet of American vessels got their bsit
here without obstruction four weeks
ago. The collector wa still obdurate
and the captain sent the following
telegram to Sir William Wbitemay,
premier of St John: "I am master of
the American schooner, Hattie Evelyn,
and put in here for bait, the collector
demands light money which 1 have paid
under protest The collector now de
mands license for bait undei a penalty.
As an American citizen I claim the
privilege of procuring bait under the
treaty of 1818. Do you support the col
lector in his demand? Please answer
immediately.'' The answer which came
after a long delay from Attorney Gen
eral 8t Johns said briefly: You cannot
purchase bait without license."
Capt McLean would not yield what
he believed to be his righto as an Ameri
can citizen and sailed away after much
loss of time to try to secure bail else
where. ... .

There was s lively fight in the senste

President Harrison has transmitted to
congress a letter from Secretary Blaine
upon tbe subject of s customs union
and the recommendation thereto by the
Pan-American conference. Secretary
Blaine suggests sn amendment to tbe
tariff bill authorizing the ureeident to
declare the port of the United States
free to the products any of American na
tion upon which no duties are charged
so long ss such nation ahall admit free
to its porta tbe manufactures and pro
duct of the United States.
Civil Service Commissioner Lyman
has addressed a request to tbe com
mittee which investigated the work of
the com mission snd whose report
handled him rather severely. He asks
for a hearing in order thst he may re
ply to some of the statements made in
the report. The committee report he
claims, waa erron.ooe in its logic aod
unjust in its conclusions. The request
will be considered by the committee
soon. If he is not given a hear
ing, and there is no change in
tbe report, It seems that there remains
no alternative but his resignation, vol
uotary or involuntary, and he doe not
propose to resign if he can help it.
Secretary Blaine ha received a tele
gram from the chairman of tbe national
millera' convention at Minneapolis say
ing the millers were greatly agitated
over the report that an additional duty
of 80 cents per barrel was to be imposed
on American flour in Cuba, thus prohib
iting American flour trade, and asking
information. Secretary Blaine replied
that he had received no official advice,
but if norrect the advance would make
a duty of $5.31 per barrel, evidently in
tended by Spain to be prohibitory. He
added: It has been constantly said
ners lor tbe last six months that west

In tbe powers or the western farmers,
by encouraging a system of reciprocity,
to secure in exchange for the
repeal of thi 'duty, the free admission of
their breadstuff and provision

people including Cuba. In my
opinion this is the most profitable
policy for the western farmer.'
