B., to be proof that the Canadian government does not intend’ to relax any of the provisions of the treaty of 1818, but will enforce them with as great stringency as last season, including the section relating to the sale of bait, A Canadian fisherman says that he has seen a good deal of balt purchased from the Bay of Pundy fleet during the winter. The bank fisher- men go to Eastport and remain there while the Quoddy boats, with licenses to touch and trade, proceed to the Canadian fleet and prepare the bait, ‘The fishing schooner which the Vigilant chased ‘Was a vessel of about ninety tons, and hafled from Eastport. Her name isnot knowh. She had come out of Black harbor about the same time that the cutter emerged from Beaver harbor. She was heading toward the fleet, and was lowering her sails when the captain of ‘the fisherman observed the cruiser bearing down upon him. ‘The Vigilant Was then about six miles distant, but as the wind was free from the southeast she was rapidly near- ing her quarry. Without walting to purchase bait, or even inquire the price, the fisherman set all Sail and struck out for Eastport. The cruiser kept up the chase past Head harbor and well up Quoddy River before she abandoned it.

President ‘Steele, of the American Fishing Company, said he hoped vessels would be seized if caught within the three-mile limit. “What we want,” said _he, “4s non-tntercourse. Let our vessels "stay away from Canadian shores altogether. We don’t want their bait. We have a vessel fitting out here to- day that will take traps to Bar Harbor and that locality and catch their own bait.

By order of the house of commons, Messrs, Han- sard have just printed an appendix tothe returns of the chief registrar of triendly socteties for the Year ending December 31, 1885, giving a lst of registered trade unions in the United Kingdom, with the dates of their establishment, and, in ‘Some cases, particulars of their funds, incomes, and membership. From this {t appears that the oldest of all trade unions in the kingdom ts the ‘Steam Engine Makers’ Society, Manchester, which ‘Was established on November 2, 1824, and hasnow £10,435 accumulated funds and a membership of 5.062. ‘The union possessing the largest fund of those which have sent in returns (though it must be remembered that several of the largest societies, such, for example, as the Amalgamated Soelety otEngineers, have given no particulars of thelr Mnances) is the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters Joiners, with headquarters at Manchester. ‘The funds of this organization are Stated at £50,851; annual income £63,122, and membership 25,781 It ts, however, closely pressed by the Amaleatnated Society of Hallway Servants of Engiand, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, whose headquarters are in City ‘London. The funds Of this soriety are stated at £50,789, with an annual income of £14,375, and 9,054 members. ‘The largest annual income—£70,703—Is claimed by the United Society of Boiler Makers and Iron Ship Builders of Newcastie-on-Tyne, with 27,695 members, and accumulated funds amounting to £38,317. The Durham Miners’ Association appears to be, 86 far as the returns show, numerically the strongest union in the kingdom, having 35,000 members, with an income of £46,153, and funds amounting 0 £35,903 Some of the titles of these Societies ‘show the extensive ramifications of trades unionism.

Who shail say that a minute knowledge of fash- Jon's changeful customs is not worth while, when May Agnes Fleming got rich by that means? She died a year or more ago, leaving a fortune over which a fight has just arisen in the courts. She was a writer of stories for one of the cheap papers. J asked a publisher in that field how, when mor- bid fiction 1s so plenty, Mrs, Fleming accumulated wealth, “Principally by making a study of the ways of the rich and fashionable folks,” was the reply. “She had a knack of conceiving good plots for stories calculated to interest women and girls; but so have hundreds of amateur novelists, whose ‘Work may be had almost for the asking. Different from them, she took the pains to learn accuratel and fully How women in ‘the best society’ behav and she made her swell heroines conform thereto, In that way she produced tmaginary ladies who were true to realism. She kept them right up to the umes. I have even known her, in recasting one of her old stories for fresh publication, to alter not only the costume of the heroine but to change her tricks of manner to sult new usages of society. Some of her readers may not have appreciated this, but the editors did, and it vastly enhanced her in their estimation and boomed her along to popularity.” “And now much pay did she get?” “At the me of her death she was under con- tract to write ten storles for $75,000. ‘They were to be produced at the rate of two a year, thus mak- {ng her income $13,000 per annum.” (ow many hundreds of women with a literary Dent will take up their pens with convulsive en- thusiasm on reading those figures?

He came to Minneapolis « few months ago and entered the employ of my husband, who is a barber on 4th street south, My husband became taterested in him and took him to our house, where he was boarded and roomed.

STRIKING WORKMEN EXCHANGE SHOTS WITH THE POLICE. The striking carpenters in Chicago declare that they will remain out until their union has been recognized, ‘They claim that 260 bosses have ex- Pressed a willingness to give in, and that only about 150 are opposed to the concession; that the strike will soon end, and itis thought that the meeting of the master carpenters to be held at the Bullders’ Exchange to-day may settle the matter. Fights between strikers and imported carpenters gecurred in many parts of the city yesterday. Non-unton men were compelled to quit work in & number of instances, especially in the outskirts of the city. Nine strikers were arrested at the corner of Jackson and Clinton streets, where they attempted to induce men to quit work, No violence had occurred, and the prisoners claim their arrest was wholly unwarranted. Shots were exchanged between policemen and strikers near Humboldt Park. “Scabs were found at work by one of our committes,” satd President Kliver, of the Carpenters’ Council. “hey were requested to quit. Suddenly a patrol-wagon loaded with policemen came, and firing began on both sides, The shots Were red in the air, and nobody was arrested.” Marie Blanchard Dying. 4 BRAVE STRUGGLE OR LIFE THAT MUST SOON TER- MINATE. A Vineland, N. J., special, last night, says: Marie Blanchard {s dying. In spite of her splendid ght for life and the delusive hopes excited by the ap- Parent progress she was making towam recovery, 1t 18 now only too evident that the brave girl must die. She may not live till morning, and it 1s al- most certain that she cannot survive another twenty-four hours, Marfe rested well last night and during the morning was quite comfortable, slight fever being the only sign of danger. SI went to sleep at 12 o'clock, and Afty-five minutes thereafter awoke in a chill, Her physicians, Drs. Adams and Bidwell, who were at once summoned, recognized that serious complications had arisen, and, at the request of the friends, telegraphed for Dr. Keen, Atz p.m. there was serious danger of collapse, but Marie finally rallied, and at, Ber re- quest the last rites of the Church were admin- istered by Father Guischeteau, of the College of the Sacred Heart, this place. Her temperature at 3 O'clock was 104; at 6 1t was 100%, and by 9 O'clock it had fallen to 98%, the lowest figure yet reached. Marie has been in the full possession of her faculties all day. After the chill she realized her hopeless condition and seemed perfectly re- signed. In response to her uest to see her friends a few of her nearest relatives were ad- mitted to her bedside, Among them were a sister Who lives in Washi mn, and @ younger brother from New York, both of whom arrived this even ing. “Her atténding physicians, either one of whom has been in constant attendance since the relapse, attribute this either to peritonitis or sep- uc poisoning, due to extravasated blood which had accumulated in the abdomen previous to the operation. Dr, Keen 1s expected here to-morrow. Up 0 IL o'clock Miss Blanchard’s condition was ichanged, What Captain Samuels Says. HIS RELATIONS WITH COLT WEEE PLEASANT—WHY THR CORONET BEAT THR DAUNTLESS, Capt. Samuels, of the schooner yacht Dauntless, deteated by R. 'T. Bush's Coronet in the race across the Atlantic, arrived in New York yesterday on the steamship Adriatic. He said, with regard to the reported trouble with Mr. Colt: “The entire story was a complete fabrication. My relations with Mr. Colt were of the Pleasantest: nature throughourthe trip, and nothing occurred to mar the friendly feeling that existed between us. In fact, I never made a trip where everythin; Was so agreeable and pleasant as this one was, ant when MF, Colt and I parted we did so the best of friends My only reason for leaving him was that I had tulfilled the engagement I entered into with the Dauntless’ owner, and there was no reason for my remaining on board any longer.” ‘When asked to give his opinion of the cause of the Dauntless’ defeat, Capt. Samuels repiied that the Coronet was much the better boat, and the Dauntless was fairly outsalled, Preparing for the Worst. From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
