It 1s said at the State Department that satisfac- tory progress is being made toward the settlement of the Canadian fishery dispute. When the Brit- ish commission on the fisherieshas been appointed itis probable that there will be a limited com- mission appointed by the President to treat with them. Itis the opinion of the Secretary of State that the President has the right, through his constitutional authority to negotiate treaties, subject to the action of the Senate, to appoint a commission to conduct such negotiations as his representatives, The action of such a commis- sion would not, of course, be binding without the approval of the Senate. LIKKLY TO PROVORE CRITICISM. There 1s no doubt, however, that the appoint- ment of @ commission would provoke much criti- cism, since the application to Congress for author- ity fora commission met with such possible dis- favor at the Capitol. ‘The committee of Congress would not hear to the proposition, and Congress insisted, by resolutions of retaliation, upon the recognition of the rights of American’ hshermen under the existing treaties, The appointment of a commission to negotiate for another treaty would rovably be criticised as an abandonment of the atin that the existing treaties, or the comity of ations, {f not violated, would afford all the pro- tection the American fishermen require, A QUESTION AS TO THE AUTHORITY OF THE PRESIDENT. ‘There 13 a difference of opinion also as to the au- thority of the President to appoint a commission which Congress distinctively refused to authorize. Assistant Secretary Porter expressed the opinion to ‘4 Stak reporter to-day that there wasno authority for such & commission or anything of that sort. He Teferred UW the attempts of the department to get sucht authority, and their fallure, as an evidence of the Want of ‘authority. If the British Commis- sloners Were uppoluted and came to Washington, he said, Secretary Bayard would probabiy meet ‘them, or else tu mh over to him (Porter), “PROFESSIONAL EXPERTS,” A Civil Service Question to be Settled. APPOINTMENTS IN THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY WITHOUT ‘EXAMINATION. The Civil Service Commissioners have written to the Secretary of the Interior, asking why cer- tain appointments have been made in the Geo- logical Survey without application to the Commis- ston. ‘The appointments referred to are those of assistant topographers and draughtsinen, whom the Commission do not regard as “professtonal” in the sense of that word as used in the civil ser- vice rules, exempting such appointees trom exam- ination. It1s claimed that there appointments are made under the provisions of the following clause Which Was Inserted in the last appropria- tion bill: “and the sctentific employes of the Geological Survey shall be selected by the director, subject to the approval of the Secretary of the Interior ex- clusively for thelr qualitication as professional ex- rts.” ‘The Commissioners are of the opinion that the ower yiven In tuts clause to the director to select is aclentific employes d.ffers in no respect from ‘the authority conterred on the Comumissioner of Patents, but that this autuority dues not do away with the necessity of an examination before the ‘appolauments can be made. LIEUT. COL. DRUM AND LIEUTS. M'CALEB AND DAPRAY ‘ALSO BURT. Under date of San Francisco, August 31, Gen. McKeever informs the War Department that he has received the following dispatch from Gen.

THE STATE DEPARTMENT ORDEKS AN INVESTIGATION. ‘The State Department bas recetved a complaint trom the American board of foreign missions of the imprisonment of Mv. Doane, missionary at the Caroilne Islands, by the Spantsh au:horities, and the Department has structed our consul to make an investigation coe Miwtonary Doane’s Case. COMPLICATIONS ARISING FROM THE SPANISH OCCU- ATION OF THE CAKOLINE ISLANDS, To the Editor of Tu Evestxo Stam: ‘The following alip from Tue Srax of Saturday pro- bably fairly represents the popular knowledge of acase which may become of great national im- portance before it ts adjusted: “That the world moves s again proved by the release of Missionary Doane ‘in the Caroiiue Is- lands. Twenty years ago be would long since have been disposed of by the hash bowl instead of in- ternational law.” Ivia more than thirty years since Edward T. Doane, whom I knew personally, went to a group of islands 3000 miles 8. of W. of the Sandwich Is- lands, and 1,000 miles N. W. of New Guinea, out of the way of’ regular ovean trafic, and set down with bis Wife vo teach the natives Christian clvili- zation, At that time no nation cared anything about the Utleof the islands and it was some Ume betore another friend Joined Mr. Doane. Ke- cently in national expansion of territory the Spanish have come upon these islands in primitive simplicity of governinent, and have taken sion of them. Details are wanting in this coua- Ury as to the relations between the Spanish and Mr. Doane, but we reasonably conjecture some- Uning of the position. It is not probable that land Utes as We use them were known there till the Spanist came. In savagery men hold what land they are using, and when it 13 abandoned any oubercan usé it and hold it while used, Mr. Do.ne’s title under such a system for his mission ‘ary premises was When that title was ignored by the civilized authority Mr. Doane had no recognized uve. It 13 probable that he endeavored at a late day to get a title from chiefs which the Spanish are not eager to recogaize. Whatever the letter of te latest Spanish law may Spain has not outgrown the spirit of’ exclusiveness ineldent to state church establishments. Under Spanish Ideas Mr, Doane 1s only entitled to the Suall rights granted to dissenters, and under the world’s custoin of dealing with tities, where strong ations discover oF adopt savages, Teal or nomt- nal, Mr. Doane’s rights in equity may fare hard, ‘The dispatches of Friday last report him released from prison at Mantla, 2,000 miles trom his lite work, Wutch 1s very Unilke releasing a man un- justly coutined close to his home and restoring fin to his former status, Mr. Doane’s life has much that 13 heroic; some points that are very sad. He came to this country some twenty-tive years ago.a widower, and returned to the islands with a Wife, Wo sodn found it necessary to come back. ‘She had a sister in Japan with wuom she thought se could Work to advantage, and Mr. Doane ana his wife were transterred to Javan. Her powers failed, and she 1s under care tn this country, and Mr, Doane went back to his original work. Later, yet, the sister rst in Japan disappeared from thé Stedmer Just setting out Lo bring her and her fam- ily to this country, and at sea, where there could be Dut one verdict, though only she was missing. Iv fs possible that'tne break in continuity of Mr. Doane’s residence in the Caroline Islands may add tw the technical complications uf the case. B. a PARTNERSHIP TgovsLEs.—Col.
