PEARRE'S SURPRISING RACE. Successful Candidate Receives Many Congratulatory Telegrams. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. CUMEERLAND, Md., November 10.—The biggest surprise afforded by the recent elec- tion, aside from the republicans carrying Montgomery county, is the decided slump in Garrett county. It was expected that a full vote would be polled on account of the chool bond issue agitation, but, on the contrary, absolute indifference prevailed, and at some of the precincts not a work=r could be seen. Colonel Pearre's plurality is 260. The school board {ssue lost, despite the fact that the county is greatly in need of school houses. Had the question carried, $20,0i0 would have been spent in the erection of new buildings. The normal republican majority in Gar- rett is from 50) to S00. Colonel Pearre’s plurality in Allegany county is 2,003, and the official figures will make little, if any, alteration. No other candidate in the county ever made such a showing, excent his father, the late Judge George Pearre, whose plurality was 2.500. Colonel Pearre has received many tele- grams of congratulation, being so remem- bered by Senator-elect McComas, Senator Weilington, Gen. Felix Agnus, George R. Gaither, jr., Baltimore; Judge John C.

Line Between Allegany and Garrett Counties to Be Surveyed. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. CUMBERLAND, Md., No¥ember 10.— Gevernor Lowndes yesterday appeared be- fore the commissioners of Allegany county and asked for an additional appropriation of $250 as the county’s sharein making a survey relative to the disputed boundary line between Allegany and Garrett coun- ties. This survey has cost much more than was expected, the former appropria- tion being $1,000, and the cost nearly $800 more. Out of this latter amount Allegany is expected to pay $200, Garrett, $200, and the geological survey the balance. Representatives of an electric y, Who were some railway months ago ssion to build a line between clty and Westernport, opposite Pied- W. Va., a distance of about thirty s, but which has not taken any ac- tive steps in the matter, were before the board of county commissioners yesterday and entered a protest against a forfeiture of the charter. This company was granted a franchise last spring to build the new electric road, and was given a certain time in which the work of constructing the road was to begin. For a faflure to comply with the order the franchise was to be forfeited by the electric railway company. After the time of forfeiture “had passed the attorney of a new syndicate petitioned the county commissioners for the franchise. The representatives of the old syndicate, who were before the board yesterday, stated that the latter was anxious to re- tain the right of way, and stated they were now ready to commence the survey for the building of the line, and asked the commissioners for an extension of time. After considering the matter the board passed an order extending the time for the ccmmencement of the survey. It was agreed that the survey ts to be begun on or be- fore December 1, and the report of the survey with maps and plans to be laid be- fere the county commissioners on or be- fore March 1 next, when the time for com- mencement and completion of the new re will be fixed by the commissioners. In default of making the surveys, all re- quests for franchises by the company shall be considered abandoned, Mr. Douglas P. Leferre of this city was appointed county engineer to take charge of the surveys, which will be started at once. Se TREATY LEADERS ATTACKED. Fatal Riots at Okmulgee in the In- dian Territory. EUFAULA, I. T., November 10.—It is known here that there has been fighting ct Okmulgee, the capital of the Creek nation, where the council met Tuesday. For forty- eight hours rumors of trouble have been drifting in from Okmulgee, which is forty miles cff the railway and without telegraph or telephone service. 1t is known, however, that the full-bloods have made an attack on the treaty leaders at Okmulgee, and that at least one man has beea Killed and seven or eight wound- ed. All the Indian police at' Agent Wis- dom’s disposal have been érdered to Okmal- gee, and soldiers will follow., The white people feel able to take care of themselves. ‘The only fear is for the, half-breeds who voted for the treaty. No Official Advices Recetved. Washington officials haye received no ad- vices indicating the reported gérious situa- tion in the Crek Indian nation, growing out of the ratification of thé agreement with the Dawes commission,;but are not altogether surprised.

FISHERY QUESTION| An Important Matter Awaiting Set- tlement. LONG A CAUSE OF CONTENTION Efforts of the Diplomats to Reach an Agreement. A SERIES OF TREATIES One of the important matters pending before the Anglo-American commission, now in session in this city todey, is the north Atlantic fishery question. This has been the cause uf contention between the two countries for more than three-quarters of a century, and Las formed the sub, of at least five treatics and two diplom: agreements. A brief account of the diplo- matic history of the controversy is of in- terest at this time. The Treaty of 1783. By the third article cf the treaty of 17 between the United States and Great Britain it was agreed that the people cf the United States should continue to enjoy unmolested the right to fish on the banks of Newfoundland, in the Gulf of St. Law- rence and all other places in the sea where the peeple of both countries used at any time to fish. It was further provided that the inhabitants of the United States should have liberty to fish on such part of the coast of Newfoundland as British fisher- men should use, ana also on the c-asis of ail other British dominions in North Amer- jea. During the second war with Eng and, of course, these rights were not exercised During the negotiations of the treaty of Ghent, which terminated this conflict, the British plenipotentiaries gave that their covernment cons'cered that th ery clauses in the treaty cf 1783 had be abrogated by che war, and that it did not intend to grant to the United States gratui- tously the fishery privileges which they had enjoyed under that treaty. The “American commissioners contended that the fishery clauses of the treaty mere- ly recognized existing rights, and that when Sueh rights had once been recognized they could not be taken away, except as othe national rights and national domain could be taken—by conquest. They therefore, that as these rights cx dependently of the treaty, they remained intact even if the treaty were annulled by the war. Treaty of London. The treaty of Ghent, however, contained no provision respecting fisheries, and the controversy continued until 1818, when a treaty was signed at London, in which cach of the governments made mut conces- sions. By article I of this treaty it was agreed that our citizens should have in future the liberty of taking fish of every kind on cer- iain defined parts of the coasts of New- foundland and Labrador. The United States renounced its right of hing in other British territorial ers. It was agreed that American fishermen should have liverty fo: vs, harbors and creeks of ; t of the Newfoundland t and of the coast of Labrador, and ut they should be permitted to enter all other bays end harbors “for the purpose of shelter of repairing damages therein, of chasing wood and of obtaining Complications as to the meaning of the phrase “coasts, bays, creeks or harbor: arose under this treaty, the British author- ities claiming wide inlets and great bodies of water as British bays, from which th sought to exclude American fishermen. This government on the other hand en- deavored to restrict British waters within the limits which it was believed the treaty contemplated. This treaty remained in force for a period of thirty-six years. The disputes arising under it finally became so numerous that it was necessary in LS5l to resort again to treaty adjustment. Treaty of 1854. The treaty of 1854 provided that the in- habitants of the United States should have the liberty to take fish of every kind, ex- cept shell fish, on the coasts, shores and in the bays, harbors and creeks of Canada, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and the ad- jocent islands, with permission to lana for the purpose of drying their nets and curing their fish. Similar rights on the coast of the United States north of the parallel of Jatitude were granted fishermen. Provision was made for the de- limitation of the boundaries of places ex- cluded from the common liberty of fishing. The treaty also gave certain tariff priv- Geges to Canada. This treaty was to re- main in force ten years, after which time either of the parties should be at liberty to terminate it by giving a year’s notice the other. Not much benefit was experi- enced under the treaty, and at the close of the civil war, in 1865, the United States “denounce?” it, and in 1866 it ceased to be of force. This relegated the parties to the terms of the treaty of 1818, and revived the same difficulties that had existed before. Treaty of Washington The situation became acute again in 1870, and in 1871 the famous treaty of V hing- ton was concluded. This substantially re- established the stipulations of the treaty of 1854, with the further provision that fish oil and fish of all kinds, except from the Inland lakes and their tributaries, sould be admitted into each country from the other duty free. Briti subjects were given the right to fish on the eastern coast of the United States north of the J9th de- gree cf latitude, instead of the 36th. ‘The treaty also gave reciprocal rights as to conveyance of goods in transit through the possessions of the respective govern- ments without examination or payment of cuties, Provision was made for a comnus- sion to d>termine whether the rights grant- ed by Great Britain to the United States Were more valuable than those granted by the United States to Great Britain, in which case an appropriate indemnity ‘was to be paid by th: United States to Great Britain. The commission, which sat at Halifax in 1877, awarded Great Britain an indemnity of $5,500,000. While this amount was con- sidered to be greatly in excess of the value of the rights given our citizens, the "nited Stat2s promptly paid it. The popular senti- ment that the award was unjust, and that the treaty under which it was rendered ovght to be terminated was so strong that Ccngress passed resolutions declaring that the tr2aty should be terminated at the ear- liest possibl2 date. Notice of the desire of this government to terminate the fishery ar- rangement was accordingly given by the President in 1883, and in 1885 it ceas>d to exist. The stipulations of the treaty of 1818 were thereby revived again, with a recurrence of the old difficulties. Retaliation Threatened.

NEWMAN, Staunton, Va., says: “I was afflicted with Contagious Blood Poison, and the best doctors did me no good. In fact, I seemed to get worse all the while.

Special Policeman's Friends Petition District Commissioners. When the District Commissioners last summer appointed a number of special po- licemen for duty at street railway crossings they selected, among others, James H. Gel- abert. Some time ago Senators Vest and Cockrell of Missouri, of which state this special policeman is a native, received a petition, signed by R. Sam Hays, congres- sional committman, seventh Missouri, and secretary of Sabine county democratic committee, and by a number of the demo- cratic voters of Sweet Springs, Mo., re- questing their co-operation in securing the Promotion of Private Gelabert to be a ser- geant of the District police force. The petitioners informed the Missouri sezators that “Private Gelabert, while one of the youngest members of the depart- ment, has the necessary qualifications of education, honor, good judgment and strong force of character, as herein attested by his former employers, proving him to be well fitted for advancement.” It was stated by the petitioners also that Gelabert was reared in their community, and is the son of W. P. Gelabert, now and for thirty years a faithful democrat and highly re- spected citizen. Senator Vest forwarded the petition to the Commissioners, expressing the hope that the request of the petitioners might be granted. The Commissioners have in- formed the senator that Gelabert is not a regular member of the police force, but a special policeman, stationed at one of the street railroad crossings, under the au- thority conferred on the Commissioners by a recent act of Congress, his salary being paid out cf a fund contributed to by the several street railroad companies for that purpose. Promise of his promotion is therefore not given. | Warp TH | Union Savings If you are going to store any- thing let us take care of it patrol + night re dietrit + cut and w + tane i wil SAFE! 300 nice y and “well-ventilated reams.
