night. The breaker was of wood, 200 feet long and 90 wide, and the highest point towered 100 feet above the ground. It had a capacity of 1200 tons a day, and including the underground workers. gave employment to about 800 men and boys. There is every reason to believe that the fire was the wok of incendiaries.

It is one of the breakers that was left idle id, the strike of the coal handlers at the New Jersey ports. The names rose fully 200 feet in the air. and the heat was so intense that no one could venture within 200 yards of the burning pile. The tire was plainly seen in l'ittson and Nanticoke, twelve miles distant each way. The total loss about 8120,000.

which is covered by 'I this to SftY. that if it appears to the Senate best that such course should be adopted in the interests of the United States. it has of course a perfect right to do ae it please. Canada hag simply stood by her right and will continue co to uo. as defined by the treaty of 1818, and as secured by imperial and colonial legislation founded upon such treaty.

Canada has enforced riehis in aecordance with the spirit of the treaty. with courtesy and without undue annoyance to the United States, ano in se doing has protected the Sweetie' interests of Canada.

and nothing but netted experiment will show upou whom the greatest burden will fall. James. .1. ehnson. commissioner of customs, said that the United States hart everything to lose and ncktbing to gain by smut legislation.

To the Cnited State's. he aaid. the loss would be ten-fold that of Canada, and he did not think the- President would banction a measure. Sir Charles Tupper said he had not given the subject the coesideration it demanded. lie WAS Of the otenion.

however. that it would not be in the interest of the Ameri- eansto put into select such a measure. I the first place the imports from the United States were over annually. while the exports there were only about see.000,000. If tile act were to go into effect he held that the entorceinent of the resolution would 'Tactically si.op the whole transit trade between Caneda mid tee United The injury to the United States would be ten told that of Canada, and he did not think it I diely the l'resident week' put it ill force.

Of course the charges made eireinst the Canadian authorities of obstruction, attended Py annoyances. were absolutely false. fie did not apprehend that the course pursued by the United States Senate would result in anything more titan the unpleawintness which must naturally arise from such evidences of hostile feeling on the part of the i nited States people. The principal rail-reads interested were chiefly American. Then as regards the vessels.

the United States authorities might prevent Canadian vessels frodi having communication with their port a. but the result would be that these vessels would have to seek other markets and the United States commerend interest would consequently targely suffer. In a word, he believed the United States had everything to lose and nothing to gain by such a measure. If worst come to worst the Canadians would more fully develop their own industries. and in this way the United States would most lamentably fall short.

It would be a most grievous loss to them, and the Senate would regret its hasty action. Just coming from England be could say one thing. and that was that the whole strength of Great Britain would sustain her colony Canada just so long as it was in the right, which it now was, and he rather regarded the action of the Semite as an attempt to force its own opinions upon a people who, by a decided majority, rejected them. Yet Sir Charles did not wish to be taken in any sense as opposed to any fair measure tvhich the United States had to propose with a view to the settlement of the existing difficulty ever the fishery it ti I the spring season opened what course the 4ernerican government would be likely to take. Ile says he does not Question the of the administration to act in concert with Congress.

lion. P. A. Collins said: "Although the Senate hill does not go es far as the bills resented by Senator Gorman and Mr. Belmont.

I suppose there will be no de-agreement between the two branches on this suWeet. The tithe is too short for die-agreement. Prompt action is absolutely lieitessary to inafie any action effective. Last July I introduced a bill antlioriZinfr the President to not on ly shut out Canadian products of all kinds and Canatiian vessels. hut to excluite sae well ali railway cars owned by Dominion corporations.

That meant retaliation by land es well as by sea. With such a sea-elation in force the Canadians not winter it. They wouei have to Lack down. However, it did not seem then as if the time for action had come. There is no prospect of war.

We can get along very well withoet touching a Canadian eon. The exclusion of their fish from this, their chief market, would make them suller severely. While The Exclusion of Canadian rish wouli not hurt us much if any. There is very little in the cry for free lisle Our men get only a cent and a half a pound for their catch, and it is not to be supposed that fish would be any cheaper to tile consumer if that half a cent duty was taken off. No; that fraetion now goes to make our vessels better and give our lishermen more pay than the Canadians.

teat is all; and while there is no danger of old John Bull fighting us for the sake ot little Joliet, tills dtscussion ought to serve to show us the great need of wilt ships and coast defences. That would be the happiest result possiule. "Coneress cannot go too far." said Congressmen Lovering of Lynn. "to-suit me in its etiorts to secure equal rights for 3nr iishermen. There is no oecasion tor drawing nice lines and buttering our worde We ought to retaliate in the most effective manlier known.

I don't know but it would be ix ell for us to authorize the tresident to exclude from service front Americen fishing vessels the great artny of cheap 'weirers, citizens of Can'ida. who annually come to this country, under-bid our citizens and carry the proceeds of their work back to the provinces at the close of the season." This talk of war is Idle said ex-Governor Long. 'the bill passed by the Senate. and which I suppose the House will also pass. is in the direction of a peaceful settlement.

Chairman Perry Belmont of the House committee on foteign affairs said this eve', lug: As soon as the Senate bill comes in for reierence to our committee I shall asic unanimous eensent to report on it whenever we see tit. I imagine that This Will be Given Vs. The importance and urgency of the matter woeld warrant such action. It would not do for me to predict what the course of the committee will be. The most I can properly say is that I believe the demands of the situation will surely be met by the House." Senator Riddlebereer of Virginia was lying on the sota in the room of the committee on manufactures when he wee asked the reason for his opposition to the Edmunds bill, but be rose and took a chair before replying: "Weil.

I stood alone, but I believe it was nearer right than the rest of them. It was rather extreme. I admit, but 2t was as sveli as I could do under the circumstances. The enforcement of this bill will, I believe. quickly.

though only temporarily. restore harmony in the relations iietween the two countries. I do not think that it is desirable There is no place for England in the hearts of the American people. Pew is not wanted. We want something else." This statement would imply that the tall, handsome younr senator from Virginia would not subscribe toany measure shurt of a (reclamation of war.

I aseed him what kind of a bill he would support. That's rather a deep question, he replier', in a thoughtful manner. I don't feel like discussing that today. I will say. however.

that it is demanded of us that we fella Ireland's battles for freedom. and those battles must be fought on American soil. Here is the place! Annex Canada! Great Britain should not be left a doe of earth in America. We could soon force her to concede peace and Liberty to the Irishman. I remarked to the senator that coming, as he does, from Virginia, his motives in advocating so fearlessly the cause of the Irish Nationalists could not well be misjudged.

That is true, he replied. I do not believe there are 6000 Irish votes in the Old Dominion. Thee are not a factor. Ti is sentent was punctuated hy a start and a straigliteuinz up as a little bell on the ot the committee roam began to buzz away. hen it le itt lintshesaits buzz-leg the senator inquired: Was that four? i believe so.

Who is at the other end? The clerk of the Senate Four rings signify that the Senate has adjourned, three that an executive session has liegun, two that my presence is desired up stairs in the ctiamber. anti one ring tneans that the yeas and nays ha', been ordered. Alter this kind explanation the senator dropped into a study. throwing his head hack. A moment later he said: The Dutch are the meanest people on earth.

and I haven't anything but Dutch blood in my veins; not a cross. A full-bloceted Dutch senator from Virginia excited my curiosity and I asked: Did sour aniestors come direct from the old country to the valley? Not direct. They came to the valley of Virginia from Don Cameron's place, you know. Yes. Pennsylvania.

Senator. may I ask if there is any foundatian Jur the story that you are about to retire from the Senate? I had not say anything about that. I will say that I am tired. les. I am tired.

You have discovered remedies for most Of the physical Ills of man. and now who can devise a reinedY which will scour the canary from all the other ills we suffer? 'We have for a long time sulleted from the ungenerous actions of the English government in America on the fishery question. The time has come when this must be removed.

The uuauimity with which the Senate passed bill upon this matter is one of the indications of the time. I am a friend to Plighaid. and I say that her success denends upon retaining friendly relations with the United States. I say Viet the legislation on the fishery question is not Ono of negetiatien nor one of war. it is but a demand Mr England to settle the mattsr herself and if the Senate will but stand firm.

it will he settled before a month has passed. Colonel Taylor Introduced. In Introducing the next speaker President Smith said: It is conceded that in no City are there brighter newspapers than in Boston, and we have with us tonight the representative of one of the brightest. a gentleman whose presence is as welcome at every public gathering as is his lively and wideawake paper in every household. I have great gentlemen, in introducing Colonel Charles .11.

Taylor of Inn BySTON GLOBR. (Applause.) Colonel Taylor was in his usual happy mood. and said that, after such a flattering introduction he thought that 200.0o0 was passible in New England at no distant day. (Ameause and laughter.) Referring to the remarks of the previous speakers. he said that he fully agreed with Mr.

Noyes that a perpetual Congress was one of the greatest of evils. aim for a remedy he supposed that the people would naturally look to the press. (Applause.) They need have no fears on this subject. no matter now long Congress remained in session. the press would take care of the interests of the country.

Then in a humorous way he agreed with the complimentary remarks that had been made regarding the standard of the men who compose the Massachusetts Legislature, He had listened with interest to what General Banks had to say. He felt a personal interest in him, for, as the fellows would say. "ate and Banks put down the rebellion." (Laughter.) 'that is to say. I followed him at a safe distance, and we did what we could. Continuing.

tus said that be dal not know as there was anything tnat he could tell the Druggists' Association about the press. Ile believed that there was no club which was so frequently mentioned in the press as the druggists- In conclusion he catered this sentiment: "The Boston Drntraists Association, may it increase in membership and Power and influence every year of its life. and live until time shall be no more." Commissioner Tarbox. Insurance Commissioner John K. Tarbox was introduced as a former drug clerk of Lawrence.

He referred to the necessity of consciousness in the performing of all ditties in life. and to especially how necessary this was among the druggists. The measure now before the Legislature provided for a rigid examination being required of all applications for druggists' certificates. He hoped that the association would encourage the passage of this bill. Hon.

Allinson W. Heard. "I do not think that any of our gatherings would be complete without the presence of our annual friend. Hon, Alanson W. Beard." said the chairman, and the gentleman was given a warm welcome.

He said that long ago he had himself sold drugs. and it was for this reason. perhaps. that he was invited to attend these dinners. The speaker then referred to the coinage of silver dollars.

which he said were still being piled up in the treasury. It had occurred to him to wonder if the many tracte associations could not do much good in trying to stop this. The Northern and Southern cities of the country are almost as a unit in laver of stopping the coinage of silver dollars, and stilt Congress does not call a bait. It was a surprise to him that the trade associations did nut take this matter in hand. He referred to how hi olden times one of the most important matters in making a sale was who would pay the bill of exchange.

Outside of Massachusetts the bills of all banks had to he sold here at a discount. Since 1861 we have had a systent of bank bills which is just as good in Louisana as it is in Massachusetts. The business of the country is growing. and though we need this currency there is at present no excuse for issuing more of it. This is not a question of politics.

but all should consider it and see that those who represent them in Congress appreciate its importance. We must look ahead and guard against a return of the old State banking system, with all its attendant evils. He touched upon the government's system of taxation. saving that the proper system was to tax only what came from a foreign country, 'there is no reason for such a heavy internal is xatiers The war which created the need of this taxation is past 'Many ways of disposing of the treasury surplus have been suggested. The best way to remove this is to abolish the internal revenue.

tApplause.) Mr. W. E. Fitzwater ot touched in a humorous way upon the remarks of some of tile preceding sPeakers. In reply to Mr.

Beard's remarks that the tax ought to be taken off of whiskey. he said that if this was done it would enable the negro population of the south to buy coin whiskey for from twenty-five cents to thirty cents per gallon, which week" cause the death of the entire race within live years. Continuing. he said: In my native city, upon the door of an ancient hotel, was written in liaa a poem, the author of which has never been known, and my grandfather gave this poem the title of the triple Plea." as it was apparently a discussion between a lawyer, a doctor and a minister. The same has never been in print.

but has been banded down in my family from generation to generation. It is as follows: Law. physic and Divinity being in dispute, Could not agree as to which of all the three couid claim superiority. Law claims It doth protect metes lands, And all their goods. from ravenous hands.

Therefore of right he claims superiority. Physic prescribes receipts for health. Whiehill06'; men prtie above their wealth. Therefore. of right challenges he.

to have superiority. Then straight steps up the priest demure. Who for mcn's souls proclaims a cure, Therefore of right. challenges he, to have superiority. If judges arbitrate the case, the lawyers take the highest place.

It epicures. the verdict give, the (lectors, best of all, wit' thrive. If bishops arbitrate the case, the priests will take the forenicat place. If honest, sober. wise men indge, then all the three away may trudge.

If men will live in peace and love, the lawyers tricks they need not prove. If men forbear excess and riot, they need not feed on doctors diet. If men obey what God doth teach. they need not mind what trirsons preach. But, if men knaves and fools will be, they'll be hard-ridtien by all three.

Other Speakers. Ex-Alderman Charles V. Whitten was next introduced. Referring to the remarks of the previous speaker, he said that in the days of the old State bank currency a good counterfeit on a good bank was better than most of the legitimate currency in circulation. Drifting into a happy mood he said that there was little that tie could say regarding Boston.

He suppoeN1 that they all knew what was going on, certainly those did who real THE If they were not satisfied with the way things were being conducted. they lieu their recourse at the polls. Mr. H. M.

'Whitney of Lawrence. chairman of the Beard of Pharmacy. was then introduced. Ile said that the Legislature should pass a good sound pharmacy law. making it necessary for all applicants for a druggis, 's certificate to vass an examination which would guard atrainst the trade being inflicted with so many ignoramuses who are not only a disgrace to the business but a (lenges to the lire of the priced.

Dr. Thomas J. -Jenks was introduced. amid much applause. as a gentleman a hie to provide a remedy for the ills el the present obnoxious Sunday law.

De said that the one remedy was for the druggists to close their stores. and under no cireumstanees disposs of anything on Sunday. Th's would make t'E) people tight the battle for them. Ile did not advocate the entire doing away of the law. but he believed that all trades should be treated alike.

Ile did not think it fair that all should esc ipe from the effeets of the law except the druggist and the barber. There is no trade vilich more desires to close on Sunday than that of the druggist.

Silver Dollars Condemned by One of the Orators. Doctors and druggists may advise their patients to be abstemious in diet and all, save perhaps medicine.which goes into one's stomach. but they do not on all occasions apply this doctrine to their own particular selves. At least to such an opinion would one be led who visited the large dining hall of the Revere House last evening and saw seated about long, white tables fairly suffering under their load of all that tends to give joy to the heart of the epicure, nearly every prominent druggist in the city of Boston and several from a distance. It was the annual dinner of the Boston Druggists' Association, and a merrier gathering had not assembled at the popular 'West End hostelry for many a day.

The druggists' familiarity and association with all the physical ills of life seems only to add to their stock of humor and a desire to dispense it all about. The is an organization for mutual tenelits protection and pleasure as well. It was organized in 1875, at the time the National Druggists' Association visited Boston, and for the yetisposeof entertaining that The association was found to be such a good thing that it was made a permanent organization, and its career during the past twelve Years has been most prosperous. It numbers upon it membership rolls the names of nearly all the more prominent druggists of the city.

Charles J. Noyes. speaker of the House of Representatives. Mr. Noyes was rereivel with a deal of enthusiasm.

He said that he was sorry that the dutY of responding for Use old commonwealth of Massathusetts. with Its historic ass its honor. its Institutions and its cut Lure had not fallen to the lot of some more eloquent speaker. I know with what happy faces you greet the day that the governor sends us home from the house on Beacon hill. (Laughter.) And I am willing to admit that the two great dangers of the business interests of the country are the continual sitting of Congress and the continual sitting oi the Legislature.

(Applause end laughter.) Without its Legislature the Commonwealth could not occupy the place that it does today. nor lead in all the great movements of the day. There is scarcely a court of appeal which does not look to Massachusetts or guidance and for itnprovements in legislation. She marks out the paths that there are to follow. Whenever.

other States want to know how to improve the management of their public institutions they send commissioners here to look at ours. To such a pasition the State could not have risen had not wisdom pervaded its legislative hails and its executive chamber. I have found that the best legislator is not the lawyer who frames a law so that he may practice under it daughter); not the minister whose eye is so stronktiy set upon the hereafterthat he can see but little of the present daughter); not the physician, with his deep studies to engross his mind, though It is true that his mistakes are hidden away ender the ground (laughter); but the Ii onest. straightforwarl bustnegs man. whose wits have been sharpened by competition and ideas broadened beyond the ruts of routine life.

and has in view some higher purpose than the snore accumulation of a torttum. Such men leave an indelible impression on the Legislature otpPlause), and we have such men amorwst us. though it is true that they are not all of this kind. 4 Address of Colonel tent. Colonel Henry O.

Kent, naval officer at the custom house. was introduced as one able to speak for President Cleveland. After complimenting the druggists tor their well-known energy and Push, he recited a few lines of Oliver Wendell Holmes' poem of the enterprising Yankee, and then said that this Yankee was nothing compared to the patent medicine advertising man of the present day. to his own office be said that be supposed the reason he was cal the eavsi officer was because he had nothing to da with the navy. The tax collected last year was 570.000.000.

and something like Sath000asso of this came trent iluty on drugs. He ref rred at some length to the workings of the custom house, and told bow it came to be organimict as it now is. A custom house was that established during the reign of the Stuarts, and our custom house is modelled from the English idea.

This important move was determined upon at a secret teeetiniz, beldlast night at National Hall. Elizabethport, which was attended by all the brakemen employed at Jersey City.

Centreville, Port Johnson. Bergen Point ind Elizabethport. It is said the brakemen along the hue of the road as far as Phillipsburg will obey the order. and that the next move will be to call ont all the dretnen and brakemen on freight trains. "The coal companies," said a leading Knight of Labor.

"will have to give in and pay the men their demands. or we will stop ill the freight trains. and, after them. the passenger trains will have to stop runnins's We are in this to succeed, and we intend to. if it takes all our resources.

The engineers are in sympathy with us, and theY will be the next to go out." Today, the novel spectacle was Presented of superintendents aim clerks acting as brakemen at the various coal ports. An agent tor one of the coal companies at Liizabethport summoned the captains of the coal boats. Whig at the company's docks, before tam. cud asked them if they were ready to load. 'I hey replied "Yes; providing the right men are handlin g.

the "Well. gentlemen, that's all." said the agent, politely dismissing them with a wave of his hand. New men were at work on the piers of the Delaware, Lackawanna SS cetera and the Pelaware Iludsou companies. A good deal of coal was handled. although there was little of it brought to this 60'.

In the morning a barge load of coal was Towed Acres's the Itiver from Weehawken. but theicaptain returned with the coal. saying that his would not be allows(' to land at any of the piers. The situation at Perth Amboy is practically unchanged. The soft coal proprietors, the Eerwinil Sis 'White Coal Mining Company, notihed Sheriff Connery that owitig to the strike he would expect his property protected from violence.

A large number ot the Port Johnson strikers will participate in the great labor demonstialion. to le held tomorrow evening in Jersey City. The strikers estitmate that the companies are expending between S2200 and S2500 per day, ii oriier to carry on their resumption of the traffic at the docks. and Ftate that of this amount less than one-twenty-fourth would be sufficient to meet the demands tor the old rate at twenty-two and one-half cents per hour. Every department of Lombard, Ayres it seaboard oil renning establishment at Copstable Hook was shut down this afternoon owing to the lack of fuel.

and about 1200 men were temporarily throwu out of employment. 'rho coal shovellers employed by the dealers along the bowanus canal and the SVallapout in airooklyn today relused to unload any coal boreal ter until the demands or the men at the shipping points were conceded. The dealers have been taught in a close contest by this action of the men. and scarcely know what move to next. The rumor that a general strike was about to be inaugurated by the anthracite miners was denied in a despatch from Philadelphia today.

which also states that the men are working extra hours, and thereby making wages that are Two Per Cent. In Advance of any made heretofore at this time of the year. Still it is asserted by a prominent Member of "49" that if the men are ordered out by the Knights of Labor they 'will go. Many coal dealers now say that there is little more than three days' supply in this City. The men aim were onieloyed by Kitterer Ss Hayes in coal quit This leaves only one firm, Stokes Chettord, who have a few men at work.

and are supplying only their own customers. Police erotection has been asked by the steam heating company at Pier J. North river. and they are getting. under the guard of fifteen policemen.

The stevedoies of the bite Star, Alexandre, National and French lines have refused to load coal which is lying alongside of the steamers. because the boats are in coin wand of non-union eaptains.

If no settlement is made tomorrow. some of the steamers will be obliged to posteone the date of sailing. Among the factories the supply of coal is sery limited. The Elm Ilex mills on Tenth avenue will be compelled to shot clown tomorrow if a supply is not forthcoming. and it Is said that many others will have to do the same before the end of the week.

The longshoremen are doing all they can to help the coal handiers. Iti eddition to lighting their troubles. Although A General Longsboremewn Strike was talked of, none was ordered. The men returned to work on the French line dock, but did so with the understanding that there should be no attempt to handle Old Dominion freight, nor that the company would receive any freight from the boycotted transportation lines. The Guion line longshoremen refused to bane le Old Dominion freight yesterday.

and when it was offered they left the pier in a body. The freight was pat on board by the sailors, and the Alaska saded.

January 25.The war is almost over, and the white-winged bird of peace can return to its old roost on the Capitol dome without fear of beiug singed. For once the House seems disposed to put on the brakes and slacken the speed of the gun carriage that two or three of the semis tors drove through the upper chamber yesterday. The result of yesterday's debate is that the Republican senators have got aboard the administration's tish-cart and will join Secretaries Bayard and Manning and the foreigu atfairs committee of the House in their efforts to run down the lion, There are several bills Lefore Congress aimed to bring the Canadians to a sense of their disadvantsge in a dispute with America.

Mr. Bolniont's bill in the House. and Mr. Gorman's in the Senate. are alike the most extreme, authorizing the President, as they do, to suspend any part or all of our commercial intermurse with British North America.

The Edmunds tall, which was hurriesalle rushed ietasinst through the Senate. applies chiefly to ocean commerce, and does not canter authority to interfere with railroad trains between the Dominion and the Union. Senator Frye said today: I think the House will act in the matter. If the casts could be grouped there as I grouped them In the Senate there would le no opposition to the bill. The trouble, however.

is to get the measure before the flower. This will require unanimous consent, or the foreign affairs committee could get the committee on rules to bring in a resolution allowing a report on such a great international uuestion to be made at any time. When the bill reaches the President I expect he will act In the spirit of Congress. The elIect will be. in my opinion, that Canada Wilt stop Her Pettifogging and no more outrages will be committed on little petty technicalities.

I do not think, said Congressman Dinglev of Lewiston, that there is any material difference of opinion relative to this measure, and I expect to see the House act promptly. Some of the propositions go further than that which the Senate has adopted. but I -am free to say that the Edmunds b)II more than covers the ground. In my judgment, the provisions cm the bill teal not tie appiied at most to more than two oujeots lhe exclusion of Canadian fishing vessels and Canadian fish. That will be suuicient to give us the decided advantage.

Indeed, my advice was that the bill should be confined to vessels and fish and not apply to anything else. Others. however, senator Morgan among them. did not wish to make such a narrow limitation, and thought that our law ought to be as broad as the British law on this subject I agree with them that the British law, authorizing the executive to suspend any and all intercourse, ought to have beeu On our statute books fifty years a2o. Such a law could have onee been enacted without exciting comment, but Just at this time the people are liable to misundei stand such sweeping authority.

and in consequence commerce would be disturoed. For this reason the passage of any of the other bills proposed. authorizing the Preshient to exclude railroads cars as well as shies, would. I fear, give commerce a riced tess shock, althougu the administration would le likely to aet only on the authority relating to fish. I do not like to haae this 1411 called a retaliatory measure We do not seek retaliation, but reciprocity.

Our People tkII be Contented it the government excintlea from our ports simplethose things which the Canaolans exclude from their ports. That is eminently fair and simply in line with our commercial policy of reciprocity. It is the only way to a peaceful solution of the trouble. The enforcement of the bill would remove all Mb causes of irritation and excitement among our people, and would leave no chance fur friction. If the Canadians should make a seizure after the enactment of this biil the President would have full warrant to close our ports to their fish and fishing vessels, just as their ports are closed to ours.

'I he Amerieans when they should once see the Can diaii vessels excluded from prisileses and the Canaolati fish excluded from our market. woulI readily concede the fairness of our vessels keeping away trout Canadian ports. They would agree that it was square dealing and would have no temptation to violate the Briteit regulations. Then Canada I lancY, would soon clamor fur a return ol the old system, when she enjoyed the indispensable privileges of our ports and our cearkeis and gave ill exchange only a hew common tonveniences to our vescels in her ports. lint I will venture to Fay that there would he complete satisfaction among our people with the new system.

They would no donut he willing indefipitely to sail larger and better stocked s'essels, and dispense ti ith the old privileges in Canadian ports so long as our ports and markets were closed to their Canaciau comPetitors. We would have an immense advantage in the Oscrimination tactics. 't he CatiNdian fishermen could not stand it. American fishermen, however, would reioice if Canada should persist in her policy, under these circinnsiances. Laud if our people Could Only Know About March 1 that the government would not allow the importation of Canadian fish, I Predict that a larger fleet of vessels would sail from our ports in the spring than before In twenty-live years.

It seems to me the only chance for war would be In our suffering the unequal relations of last year to continue during the coming fishing season. Under such conditions bloodshed would really be probable. Governor Dingleyexpreased the hope that the additional fishery correspondence which the State Itepartinent has been asked to transmit to Conn-resit. would reveal such a batiation of affairs as would indicate helium RESULT OF A WOMAN'S SPITE Edith Granville Boston Girls And a New York Woman Arrested Satisfaction for Injured Feelings.

January of the 'worst ice jams since the spriug of 1576 is now formed at Amsterdam. The Ice became blocked late last night about two miles west of the city, and extends to a point half a mUe below the place. The water soon overflowed the banks west of Amsterdam, and for a time serious results were feared. Families residing in tenement houses along the bank of the river were compelled to remove their household effects. It is about two feet from the river bridge.

Families residing along the river were compelled to move out. The water came up to the tirst floors of the residences.

Several small houses along the river were tumble(' over. The ice in the Mohawk at Cohoes broke up this morning. The cribs being built for the cotter darn at the Weed tecker axe factory were swept away. The ice in tne lower sprout of the Mohawk: broke un about 8 o'clock tine morning, and a half hour later it moved out into the Hudson with force enough to crowd the ice in the Hudson down over the State at Troy. 'the ice was very heavy, fully two feet thick, and the enormous cakes were piled 4)1 each other as they came together in the Hudson.

The moving mass, carried against the dike at Lansingbum wrecked the dike and tore out the heavy timbers. some of which were swept down the river with the flood. The he In the tindu above the darn gave way and moved over the clam. followed, by the Mohawk ice. Below the dant the ice moved as the heavy mass came down upon it.

The water rose rapidly in the Mohawk and Hudson throughout the early portion of the day. At 11 o'clock this morning the ice at a roy again began moving, and there was a general break-up below.
