' 7 'from an imaginary line connecting fact that farmers, during the early ' eonfession, which A despatch "from "The "Hague eays: The International Arbitra- tion Tribunal on Wednesday handed down its decision in the fisheries dispute between the Unit- ed States and Great Britain. While the American Government is sus- tained on the greater number of points, the important question, re- garding the threc-mile limit, has been decided im favor of Great Bri- tain. This was the most. important of all the points submitted. The points which the United States wins are numbers 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7 out of a total of seven points. Points 1 and 5 were decided in fa- vor of Great Britain. It was the fifth point which had to do with the three-mile limit question. It was 'put in the form of a question and read: "From where must be mea- sured the three marine miles of any 'coast, bays, creeks or harbors re- ferred to in article 1 of the British- American Treaty of 1818?" It has been the contention of: the United States fishermen that three miles limit should be measured from -any -point of the Canadian or New- ffoundland shore and that therefore they had the right to in the 'middlo of any bay or estuary hav- ing a radius of moro than three miles. The British contention was 'that the limit should be measured 'the headlands. While the first question is de- cided in favor of Great Britain the points of equity raised by America will be°examined by a committee of experts. ' eae Point 1, in which Great' Britain was sustained, embodies the ques- tion of whether any local regula- tion adopted by a British colony must be submitted to any foreign power having a treaty on 4 similar subject with the Imperial British Government. The Americans, although they 'ost point five, gain séme conces- sions. Under the decision they will be allowed to employ aliens in their fishing and are not liable to light- house duties. Neither are they compelled to enter their vessels at the Customs Houses. The words "bays, harbors and creeks" refer- ring to Labrador in the Treaty of 1818, apply also to Newfoundland, and American vessels when fishing do not lose their right of trading. The reading of the decision occu- f pied more than two hours. es SATISFACTION AT OTTAWA. A despateh---from- Ottawa says: The decision in the fisheries cage at The Hague is generally regard- ed here as a distinct victory for the British case. The establishment of the claim of complete autonomy in framing regulations, so long denied by the United States, is regarded with extreme satisfaction. KILLED BY HER HUSBAND? Body of Woman Found in Her Home on Fraser River. A despatch from New Westmin- ster, B. C., says: The dead body -of Mrs, George, Reid, who is sup- posed to have been murdered at 7 o'clock on. Tuesday morning, was found in her home at Clayburn, on the south side of the Fraser River, opposite' Mission City, the same night, and her husband, who is mis- sing, is suspected by the police of having committed the deed. A ra- zor was the weapon employed. The couple were strangers to the vil- lage, having come there only one week ago, and no person in the neighborhood was at all well ac- quainted with them. They lived very much to themselves, but neigh- bors say they knew of no trouble between the two. | --------* PORK PRICES WERE HIGH. Packers Quoted Them at 18 Cents Per Pound Wholesale. A despatch from Chacago says: Fresh pork loins were quoted by packers on Tuesday at 18 cents a pound wholesale, which is said to be the highest prico ever reached in the history 6f the pork packing industry at Chicago. Retail prices ranged from 24 to 26 cents a pound, also establishing new. high records.

Western Farmers Should Have Called for More Help. A despatch from Winnipeg says: Up to ..e present 9500 farm labor- ers have been brought into the west from eastern provinces by the C. P. R.

A despatch from Toronto says: An excellent pamphlet has been is- sued by the Ontario Department of Agriculture on the merits of lands oftered for settlement in New On- tario and explaining the easy terms the Government accords the bona- fide settler. A number of letters from settlers who have tested the country for pericds from six to thir- teen years are included, and prove that there is no reason fur passing by this territory to go to the West- ern provinces. Wheat crops of 33 bushels to the acre are-common in New Ontario, and a plentiful supply | of lumber, besides fish and game and easy access to the railways should be considered inducement enough to the man embarked on an agriculture life.

He went to the roof, intending to come down the fire escape to his room.
