THE FISWERY AWARD, How the British Claim for Compensa- tion Was Made Up. A MONSTROUS BILL.. Equities of the United States’ Counter Claim for an Ojfset, —_——-——— NO VALUABLE PRIVILEGE —»——— GAINED, Nuwrorr, R. ., Oct, 19, 1878. The anvouncement in December last of the award of the Fishery Commission was received with genuine #nd universal surprise throughout the Untted States, Many no doubt then first learned that a commission bad been sitting at Haltfox haying the subject under consideration; others were aware that somo points lett undetermined by the Treaty of Washington 1 1871 baa, tipuiated by that treaty, beep referred to arbitration, but had no idea of thelr possible mag- nitude; while even the best informed, including the very negotiators of the Tr ‘1, and those Mort nearly connected with the commission itself, were, it seems, wholly uuprepared tor the resuli—an award of $5,500,000 ageinst the United States, White the public prints teemed with denunciations Ot the chief arbitrator and virtual umpire, and of the fact and manner of bis selection, 1 was astonishing how little curiosity they ¢xpressed to learn the Brounds upon which a decision so unexpecied was based and how little wus said to sauisty the curiosity te public might naturally fecl on the subject. Nor was tho mystery auy better understood wen Mr. Blaine in two speeches during the winter communi ated to the Senate statistics showing the very stight actual yield to the United states of the Canadian in- shore fisueries of late years, and on tbe other hand exhibited the loss incurred by the Umited States through the relinquishmeut under the treaty of the duties bitherto accruing trom imports of fish and fish oif trom Canada, and the correspending gain to’ Cana. diana, Not even did theadmirubie letter of Mr. Evarts) of May 16, 1878, transmitted by the President to Con Gress the following day— why suen an award should not“ have been made—at ail make apparent by what process it had been arrived at. But the letter alladed to documents transmitted with it, and these, 1 might be hoped, would at last furnish some light. These documcats were so voluminous that it was not untifthe middie of July that their printing could be completed, and that ihey were issued as Ex. Doc., No. 89, of the House ot Representatives. They form altogether three ponderous octavo volumos of over one thousand pages each, or 3,495 pages in ail, They consist of the *‘ease” of Great Britain, the “answer” of the United States and the “repily’’ of Great Briteiv, of a great mass of oral mony taken before ibe commission, of affidavits, exhibits and other evidence offered on either side, of the argu. ments of counsel, and then a momentous half-page, Whereupon, without a word of antecedent explanation or calculation, are inseribed, over tho signatures of two of the Commissioners, ‘$5,500,000 in gold to be paid by the government of the United States to the government of Her Britanore Majesty,” and-over the signature of the remaining Commisioner Js inscribed, Jess thao nothing to be paid by the same ww the suine, Let us see, now that all is before us which was be- fore the Commission, whether we cun at all fil\ up . Batisfactorily to ourselves tuis hiatus between the slosed case and the fluding, and whether we confirm the award arrived at by a m»jority of the Commis.’ pioners. THE BRITISN CASE. And first we turn tothe ‘case’ of Great Britain ‘This is the statement ot her claim by herself. As euch it must embrace all that sve intends to demand or expects 10 prove, And, indeed, no exception, au Id seem, coula be made to it by reason ot insufficiency. Whether we consider the va, riety of she grounds of ciaim stated or we amount fiualily set up it most be admitted that Grea Britain hag not tailed to do herself fail justiee, We snall reverse the ordor followed by the case, and state first, as the most interesting item, the amount claimeu, This is, “tin respect to the Domin- Jon of Canada,” $12,000,000; “in respect to Newfound. land,’’ $2,830,000, or a gross total of $14,830,000 18 what Greut Britain claims “over and above the value of avy advantages cooterred on Lritish sableets under the Fishery articles of the Treaty of Washington.’’ ‘The grounds of eiaim cover thirty pages. The gist ot Kt is summarizea in the following sentence (page ed in the previous portions of tuis ebapter that an averege number of at least one thousend United States vessels aonualy frequent Britiec Canadiaa waters, ‘be gross catch of each vosse! per trip has been estimated at $5,600, a con- siderable portion of which Ja net profit resulting from the privileges conferred by the treat, From a Siatementrurther on in the case of Nowfoumdiand (page 108) it appears tuat the net profit is reckoued ut twenty per cent, which would give $1,120 asthe met profit of each vessel. Now, although Great Britain does not state what proportion of ibis alleged net profit she would think proper to charge forthe privilege of fisning io her-waters, 1 18 clear that it could not be the whoie of it. For if the whole of the net profit of the operation were to be absorbed 10 paying her for the buro privilege of fshing, who woud engage in i?
