COMMISSIONERS DIVIDED. © for Canadian PLAYING A LONE HAND The Home Government Decides t Him. He Them Accepted the Responsibility of Seeing 1 Through Parliament and Sucecceded--Interesting Secret History. One of the most interesting portions of Mr. Pope's most interesting life of Sir John Macdonald is that which re lates to the negotiation of the Washing ton treaty. Two chapters are devoted to it, which are prefaced with the fol- lowing extract from Sir John Macdon- ald's speech in the House on the 3:1d of May, 1873, on the question of the adoption of the treaty :-- "When some one writes my biogra® phy, if 1 am ever thought worthy of having such an interesting document prepared, and when, as a matter of his- tory, the questions connected with this trealy are upheld, it will be found that upon this, as well as upon every other point, I did all I could to protect the rights and claims of the Dominion." While in Washington Sir John kept up a constant correspondence with his colleagues at Ottawa, Sir Charles (then Dr.) Tapper being chiefly the recipient of his communications. Among the first of these 18 one which reads as fol- lows :-- "Since wiiting my account of our do- ings here I have seen Lord de Grey He bas had/an unofficial conversation with "a leading statesman here, and thought it of sufficiont importance to come down here after charch and men- tion it to me.

APPEAL TO THE GOVERNMENT. Sir John desired that his colleagues should consider the matter contained in the foregoing communication; and give him a general expression of opinion for On the 18th of March he instructed the Canadian Onbinet to cable' the Colonial Office to the effect that Canada considered the fisheries her property and that they his guidance. inshore could not be sold without her consent. To this telegram the Colonial Minster replied that her Majesty's Government pever had any intention of selling the inshore fisheries of Oanada without her consent. On 'the 17th of March wrote to Dr. Tupper :-- "It was a most fortunate thought to Sir John send a telegram to Lord Kimberley, was had with Lord Granville, who au thorized the commission to discuss the question of sale, at the same time ex- pressing a preference for a sale in per- Upon this I produced Lord Kimberley's answer, which was a floor- petuity. er.

Lord de Grey very pro- perly said that he bad no instructions on that matter, but would, of course, submit any proposition for the_conaid- eration of his Government, He asked if the United States were ready for a renewal of the reciprocity treaty on %| the same terms as before. The man rephed that he did not think Congress could be brought to sanction anything of the kind just now, but what he al- luded to was a pecuniary equivalent. There the conversation ended. I told Lord de Grey we had not even taken + | into consideration any other equivalent but that of enlarged commercial inter- course in the direction of reciprocity, and as nearly approaching the old reci- procity treaty as the exigencies of the vote in Parliament against a treaty which I had a share in making. 1 I can, according to circumstances."

The Ottawa Cabinet liad offered to rake as an equivalent for the fisheries $150,000 per annum and £50,000 sd. Lord de Gey considered this as a very ex- ish ditional until lumber was free. ravagant estimate, over which a warm liscussion took place between Sir John and his fellow-commissioners. About this time Mr. Fish was beginning to re- pent of the offer of free salt, coal énd jaumber, and was disposed to make it ~ntirely a monetary compensation. Sir John was somewhat astonished at Mr. Fish's attitude about this time w ith' when he' remembered that at their first meeting the American Secretary had offered £1,000,000 for a perpetual sale, sether with free fish, coal, & «od, jumber to the list. Reflection, how- ever, convinced him that the alteration in Mr. Fish's aititude was due to the of the Cansdian Parhament, regard to the tariff proposal to- action ahich had in the meantime repealed (he duties on coal and salt. About this time the proposition to nie the value of the fisheries to arbitration was mooted, a proposal which Sir John op: posed, on the ground that they were the property of the Canadian people, who were the best judges of what their In another part of this communication Sir John says :-- ¢ After the conference rose we met' value was. again in caucus.
