He said he was very anxious that the committee Should act promptly in the matter. These artl- cles of the treaty ought not be allowed to con- Unue in force another day, if it could be avolded, because the fishing privileges which we gave to the Canadians were very valuable, whlle those which thcy gave us were worthless, though, | by gross mismanagement on ourpart and skilful diplomacy on the part of the Canadian authort- Hes, we had been required to: pay $5,800,000 for them. In 1881 we caught in Canadian waters, under the privilege granted us by the treaty, 490 barrels of mackerel and no other fish, while we and the Canadians, the same year, under the privi- lege given them to fish in our Waters above the 49th parallel, caught 391,189 barrels. Mr. Frye discussed the provisions contained In the treaty for its own termination, and sald he doubted whether we could even give the notice until the expiration of the fullterm of ten years from the time these articles went into operation, which wouid be in July next, g At the close of the morning hour the Senate took up the tariff bill.
