The treaty may boaaid to be a *ignal vity tory for Secretary Bayard and hi* associatea en the American aide of the oommlarion. From the first meeting of the oommissipa both partiw have fealiaed tbe importance of tbe question as to whether the "touch and trade" privilege would be extended to American vessels, a privilege now fully enjoyed by vessel* of other nations in our ports. The American fishermen have demanded the twofold right of purchasing stores and supplies ami of selling cargoes to whoever might desire to purchase. The opposition to thisooncesatca, if it could be called a concession, has proceeded from the vary first from Sir Charles Topper. He Anally gave in, however, andunder tbe terms of the treaty the privilege* enjoyed by American and Canadian fisher* will be entirely reciprocal. [The most important of all markets in Paris are the Bailee Centrales. Tbe structure cowsists of ten pavilions, built of iron and sine, covering an area of twenty-two acres.

He said the whole trouble arafe from the attempt of the Knights of Labor to refuse to handle freight sent to the Beading lystem from mines where there was a strike in progress. In speaking of the strikers who refused to dome back when an opportunity ras given them, en Tuesday, Deo. 87, after he Knights had ordered them oat, Mr. Corbin said: "In this way there were About 2,600 men laid off the rolls, and none of them shall come back while I am president of the road." Heading, Feb 1&—There is intense alarm in the coal regions over the publication of Mr. Corbin's testimony and the fact that the Beading company have imparted several car loads of Italians to take the places of the striking miners. It is feared that there may Je an outbreak at any moment. As there will be more of the foreigners brought on today and to-morrow, and as the ranks of the idlers will doubtless be augmented to-morrow by a strirt of the mine engineers and firemen, tne trouble which is fomenting is momentarily anticipated. As Senator Blair ooncluded Senator Harris cava notice that ha would offer an amendment to the Mil to change the title to that of "a bill to offer a bribe to the ctatee to relinadshtbe rights of local aetf government" The amendment, however, was not offered.'

The fire continued to spread, and it wai 'apparent that the total loss would be very heavy. The English commissioners have made a strong fight from the start for the oreservation from invasion by foreign fishermen of the waters embraced in the three mile limit, but have hardly hoped that they would be successful in securing a full concession from the United States, giving up all claim to the privilege of fhhing in these waters.
