In an interview at Halifax, N.S, yesterday,with 4N. ¥. Herald correspondent, Admitral Luce Said: do not understand that the North atlantic ‘squadron was sent to Canadian Waters as ademon. Stration of force to uphold the American view of the fisheries treaty. Such a course would only have added to Ue ‘gravity and complications of the questions now generally understood to be une der consideration by the United States Government and that of Great Britain. Its oftice was rather to Tender such afd as our fishing feet in the Gulf of St. Lawrence might necd and our vesselsof war were able to extend, With this object in view the ships of the North Atlantic squadron have visited Atnerican fishing fect iu tue Gult of St. Lawrence And endeavored to supply our fishermen with Such information as imiht enable them, should they so choose, to avold any violation of Canadian ‘Views of fishery laws that Would result In selzure and possible detention of their vessels and inter ference with their business during the Asbing season, In this there Was no surrendering of the American claim to the rights of fishermen im Canadian waters, but simply a common sense policy, which, if observed by our fishermen, would enable them to avoid vexatious delays und pecu- niary loss in the prosecution of their Work. “Whether the Dominion views are or wrong, the instructions given to the Canudlan cruisers will be carried out, and knowing tls the Ushermen have been told What these Justructions Were to put them on their guard, so that they need not uselessiy run into danger.’ Certain cop- cessions have been made by the Dominion govern— ment to our tishermen, notably that of allowing them to report to a crilser instead of at the cus tom-house, of which tey have also been ime formed, anid told that in entering port tor shelter Uney should report toeither a custom-house officer, or to the commanding officer of a Dotutnton cruiser, the latier being somewhat analogous to a rever hue cutter. “Coupled with Us information was the notification that in the event of seizure by a Dominion crutser tue case would either have to be submitted to a court or to arbitration be- tween the governments of the United Suites and Great Britain, ‘The office of the North Auantc squadron has been simply Uhat of guide, counsel- Jor, and friend to American fisheries.” MAKING A CONVENIENCE OF THE AMERICAN FLAG. Admtrat Lace says that one pertinent tact that should not be lost sight of in connection with the Jishertes question is that a number of setzures of American vessels have been brought about by Violation of the law committed by Canadians mak. ing a convenience of te American tng. known that a large percentage of the Aimerican vessels are made = tee A BREAKFAST T0 SIVON CamEROn, in honor of Mr. Stmou Cameron was given in Loydon, yesterday by Wuffalo Bill and Nate Sattsbury in the Marguee of the Wid West camp.
