the dominion 10 government has not agreed to ratify nor even commend the ratification of the treaty in nova scotia so great was the alarm excited by reports that the treaty had or was to be ratified by the ottawa government without reference to parliament that the authorities telegraphed to know whether oc or not the dominion government was free tol to deal with that part of the treaty respecting the fisheries NEW yore YORK 3 president grant said yesterday that the treaty was fully and ably discussed and Is the tile best settlement possible of the outstanding differences betwee between ii the united states and great britain it is thought by many that it was rushed through and acted upon wholly without proper consideration on the part of both governments the facts are however every article of the treaty was submitted to me after r it was adopted by the commission and approved by me and each article was in the same game way submitted to the british cabinet and approved by the ministers of the crown at once the queen pledged her signature before band I 1 therefore regard the treaty as practically ratified measures will have to be adopted OB on both sides to carry out the provisions of the treaty our house of representatives will I 1 feel certain act patriotically and wisely the treaty must be ratified and made a law of both nations for we are concerned we would like to have better terms but there were two parties to the bargain if s I 1 had it all my own way I 1 think I 1 could make it more mote favorable to 0 th the united slates states the 1146 point poin aimed adwa W

day to bring iha two nations into an armed conflict my aim waal wad by this treaty tresty to secure peace through justice andi and andl I 1 believe I 1 bave have succeeded no apprehension need be felt as to the course of the british people I 1 would regard it as an act of bad faith on their part to reject the treaty after its a almost most unanimous acceptance by the senate the english must surely prefer a fair settle of oui our diffene differences n c as with them for which this treaty provides tharl than to nurse a cause of war for seti beti settlement lemeni 0 or war were the alternatives the ratification will be a blessing to both goun poun countries tries trieb the canadians will be reconciled to it by and bye and why they the fishery clauses of the treaty are as favorable to them as to b ha perhaps more so I 1 will be glad if they settle the matter at once and be done with i it the canadian fisheries dont amount to much for us while the equivalent we grant must be considerable to them I 1 do not attach much importance to the pecuniary consideration one way or other the pith of the thing ia 14 the avoidance of war it luc was a dangerous question to be left open our fisheries were always a trouble troubie and annoca annoyance fice fishermen pt of the east who fish on the canadian Canadia ii coast have but little respect for treaties or engagements they are rough fellows hardy self reliant and aie sie a law unto themselves they insist on going where they like and doing what they like of course they they find opposition and whether they are right or wrong they are sure to have supporters in many quarters indeed public sympathy is always with our fishermen no matter what they do this backing u up i p of our own people under all circumstances shows a lively patriotic spirit but it has its evils we are forced to send tend men of war to the canadian coast to protect those men from the consequences of their ow own n acts the english must send armed ships to watch the doings of ours and BO so the relations ionis between the united states and great brita britain in which ought to be and I 1 now believe will be of the friendliest nature are constantly disturbed by the anticipation of strife this fishery affair was not pot the most difficult we had to meet 1 I 1 hope the whole affair will be settled there were so many questions between the united states and england demanding settlement that war seemed the only alternative it is well war nas has bas has ben been avoided I 1 prefer the treaty to war war would be hurtful to both nations and profitable to neither it plight be ruin to to one As to the reports of changes in the cabinet and the forell foreign yn policy the president said there is not a word of truth in the statements whatever they are not a word of mr fishs fichs retirement has lately been passed or any of the cabinet fish will not leave the cabinet or resign the seals of the state department with my consent while I 1 am ana president he responded unwillingly to in my call and entered upon the arduous duties of foreign affairs with diffidence he ile has discharged shemwell them well weil he hasteen has been faithful patriotic and diligent I 1 should be grieved if he resigned but he wont resign now As to cuba there been no discussion in the cabinet in reference to cuban affairs affair bof bot of late the policy of the administration is unchanged in regard to cuba we are mindful of our obligations to friendly nations while careful of our rights the united states will not be unjust while I 1 am president we will do as re we WO would be done by the condition of affairs in cuba does not seem to me or to mr fish to demand demard action on our part time heals beals more wounds than medicine and pat pst patience
