Till: DOMINION IS ItATIIKU COM). lirnttus AVIiiinn Snys Its Nntlnnal Got Grnmcnt Hoes Not l'nvor Clnser Ilela tlona With Uncle Sam The Plsherles Trouble I)lrucil Tlio lleef Question. New YonK.Dec. 31. Tho members of the senate s)ecial commltteo on our relation with Canada met t tho Federal building. Of the commlttoe Senators Hoar, of Massa chusetts; Hale, of Maine; Dolph, of Oregon, and i'ugh, ot Alabama, were present, Tho three absentees wero Voorhees, of Indiana, who Is sick In Washington; Allhon.of Iowa, and Butler, of South Carolina. Tho Fisheries Trouble. Ono of the first witnesses examined was Capt. Fitz Jay Habson, of Qlouster, Mass. who reviewed tho fishing Interests of tho United States from the ratification of tho fisheries treaty with Knglond, in 1T83, to the present time. He said, during the courso of his testimony, that ho had been along the Canadian coast and had talked with the fishermen, and thnt they had said that they would have no Interference with tho right which they claimed of selling bait to the American fishermen. The treaty of 1818 was utterly useless, in tho captain's estimation, nnd should bo abro gated, becauso while tho treaty granted to American vessels tho right to touch at Cana dian porta for shelter, water, wood nnd re pairs, many of our vessels have been seized and fined for exercising the right granted them by the treaty. Orlevnnca or New :ntnml Fishermen. The actual grievance of the Now England fishermen against tho Cauadian government was stated by Capt. Bnbson and Senator Hoar to be this: "That tho American fisher men oro denied the right to commercial privileges in the ports of Canada such as aro granted to Canadian fishermen in United States ports, ond that the custom laws of Canada aro onerous, vexatious nnd unrea sonable." Tho remedy was said to bo the enforcement of retaliatory measures when ever any nation unfairly discriminated ogalust American fishermen. 'KriKtim Wlmnu on Cuniuierclnl Union. Erastus Wlmnn sold that the present re lations between this country nnd Canada are not satisfactory, nnd that the national government of Canada Is not tn favor of closer relations with this country. The Canadian debt is held In a great measure by English parties, and theso creditors would liko to see closer relations between this coun try nnd Canada. Ho thought thnt there would 1 a strong protest against political union by tho British, government, but that a commercial union would meet Its approval. The question of annexation is not growing as rapidly as it should, because the Canadian senators are not upx!ntod for life, and therefore they aro the most conservative of men. A commercial union would, in his opinion, hasten Canadian independence. Camilla's riace ti Move First. Senator Hoar remarkod that tho expedien cy of annexation was a matter for Canada to settle, and that tho United States would take no steps toward hastening the consum mation of tho Idea. Franklin B. Thurber thought that the tariff was n decided bar rier In tbo way of commercial intercourse with Canada. Thomas L. Qreene gave tho railroad side of the question, and Mr. Wi man was nfterwnrd recalled nnd said that Canadian roads wero willing to comply with the Interstate law, nnd that many ot them were complying with it at present, A Sanguine Canndlan, Francis W. Glenn, nn ox-member of tho Canadian parliament, said that Canada was coming to the United States, nnd that it was only n question of time when the United States must open Its markets to her. Canada had adopted the United States school sys tem, the American system of election and other customs. The Evnate lleef Inquiry. The committee of the United States sen ate appointed to Inquire Into the transporta tion uud sale of meat products of tho United States held their first meeting In this city In the Holfman house. Tuoso present wore Senators Vest, Manderson, l'lumb nnd Far well. A number of gentlemen largely In terested In the exportation of cattle were present to give their testimony. Mr. T. C. Eastman, a large cattlo dealer, said there was nothing to stimulate dealers and ship pers of cattlo in this city since the passago of the Interstate commerce law, Cer tain car companies get a mileage and pay part of that mileage to the shippers in the west as nn Inducement to ship by their roads. In answer to a ques tion iy Senutor l'lumb, Mr. Eastman said that the Delawure, Lackawanna and West ern railroad is transporting most of their cattle In cattle cars aud are paying half of their mileage to the companies shipping the cattle, thus in an indirect way cutting rates. Shipment to Knelaml, The shipment of cattle to England had In creased -1,000 head during the past year. The increasing demand was due to tho iucroaso in population. Cattle could bo raised much cheaper here than in England. He did not think the quality of beef from tho west as good us It was ten years ago. The cattle raisers put Inferior cattle on tho market. Tho canned meat establishments used the lowest grades of cattle in the market. Commissioner Coleman Ueslsns. Nkw York, Dec. 31. J. S. Coleman, com missioner of the department of street clean lug, has sent a letter to Mayor Grant resign ing his olllce. Mr. Coleman says It was unnecessary for the mayor to recommend his removal, as It was well known to the mayor and other public ofticluls that ho ns ready to step out whenever requested to do so. Mr. Coleman goes on to say that every mayor for eight years has nssurod nlui that his. work gave tatisfaction, otherwise he would have long ago given up tho ofllce. The present bad condition of the streets Is not tho fault of his department, but Is due to abuses which are matters of jjubllo notoriety. It is be lieved that the mayor will withdraw the recommendation of removal and will accept Mr, Coleman's resignation. INFLUENZA GROWS DEADLY. Deaths from tho Disease Are on the Increase. Rerun, Dec. 31. The statistics show a great Increase In allmaladlesattendantupon tho Influenza.

Half tho police of Moyence are affected. There aro thousands of cases at Btuttgart, at Augsburg and at Cologne. Thero is uo abatement in the severity of the disease at Vicuna, where there havo been many deaths from pneu monia. The archduke Karl Ludwlg and his grandson have each had the disease. Queen Olga of Wurtemburg has just been taken with tho Influenza. Hevere In the Quaker City, Philadelphia, Dec, 31, "La grippe" has got Philadelphia In Its clutches with a strong grasp.

TUN MTN KlI.LUl). A Fatal ltnrn War In the State of (lenrgla. Savannah, Dec 27, Throo whltci nnd three blacks lost their lives In tho raco troublo at Jessup, Ga. The whites wero Deputy Marshal IUrnhUI, William Wood and Honry Anderson, The latter, a hotel keeper, was nccldontnllyshot by nn unknown whltojian. The blacks wero Bill Hoppnnd l'ete Ja Jtion, shot in colls In tho jail, nnd 1)111 Flutt, called out of his house and shot. William Wood, Sr., was shot through the head, but will re cover. Sally Hopps nnd Hannah Wnltham, negro women, wero whipped nnd ordered out of town. This caused a riot. After the riot wus over the jail was attacked by nlno men at 2 a. m. It had been loft unguarded. Tho military are In possession of the town. No further trouble is expected. When the jail was attacked tho military wore half a mile distant. By the time a detachment of the troops reached tho Jail the mob had departed, leaving the dead bodies of the negroes Johnson nnd Hopps in their cells. Tho cominandor of the mllltnry hnd suggestod to the mayor that soldiers guard the Jail, but the mayor said tho sheriff could protect tho prisoners. The Georgia Hussars havo returned here. The Brunswick company remains on duty by request of the mayor. The Hussars say the ti-ouble Is over. They say hundreds of colored peoplo wero taken Into tho houses of lending white citizens nnd protected from danger, remaining nil night, A Jessup dispatch to Tho Morning News, datod Op. m., says Mayor Hobbs has called a publlo meeting to take steps to defend tho town. It is believed that tho negro desper ado, Drewer, and a large force of negroes nro near the fbwn ready for n night attack. Citizens aro arming to aid the Brunswick rilles lf necessary. A special train was r" out to the brick yards, where. Browcr was supposed to bo, and a detachment of armed men wero sent out as scouts. Mayor Hobbs had received word from Brunswick that Uyan, tho white man accused of Instigating the troublo, was In Brunswick, but the mayor will not take stops to have Ryan brought back. There Is still great excitement in the coun try around Jessup, but affairs will probably quiet down soon. It Is the region of turpen tine distilleries nnd sawmills, and tho Jes sup trouble Is likely to dlsorganizo labor for some time to come. PARrTinit3,"-cjlVORCE TROUBLE. Ho Says Tho Times Isllehlnd the O'Shca Suit. London, Dep. 31. Mr. Tamell declares that Cnpt. O'Shea's action for a divorce, with which his name has been connected as ro-r spondent, hus been brought forward for political effect, nnd Is part of the conspiracy to break him dowa He says Secretary Horstou, of the Royal union, who figured beforo tho special commission as the backer of the perjurer Flggott, Is now tho backer of his treacherous friend, tho captain, and has Instigated him to take advantage of the fact that he (l'arncll) lived nt O'Shea's houso from lbSO to 1880. He further says that ho has not as yet received notice of the filing of a divorce suit by Capt. O'Shca against his w'fe. Secretary Houston has written a letter deuylng tho statement mado by Mr. Farnell In his letter to The Freomnn's Journal that Mr. Houston lnstlgntod Capt. O'Shea to bring suit for divorce. Mr. Houston says ho had no knowledge of the action taken by Capt, O'Shen until he saw theannouncement of the divorce case published in the papers on Saturday. Cnpt. O'Shea, in denying tho allegation that his suit against Mr. Farnell was Insti gated by The Times, produces a letter writ ten by tho editor of that paper, bearing tho date Dec. 29, asking him to confirm or correct any misstatements in tho report that he had brought action against his wifo for divorco implicating the Irish lender. Apropos of the allegation of Mr. Farnell nnd his friends that tho action brought ngalust tho Homo Rule lender by Capt. O'Shea was lustlgated by Mr. Houston in tho interest of Tho Times In tho expecta tion that it would havo the effect to weak en Mr. I'arneH's suit for libel pjalnst The Times and draw public i'ention away from the commission's report on tho forged letters, It Is noteworthy that the hearing of O'Shoa's case is fixed for a time concurrent with tho examination of FarnelPs suit against The Times. The coincidence may be accidental, but nobody can be found who believes that It Is, and ns to the issue of the O'Shea action, opinion Is general that tho captain will emerge from thejlcontost tho most discredited and despised man in England. Mngclo Ilourlcaii Was Murdered. Saratoga, N. Y., Dec. 31. Tho mystery surrounding tbo death of Maggie Hourigon, whoso body was found in a pool near Groen wlch, Oct. 10, seems likely to be cleared up. Dr. Scott has just made a statement that on tho night of Maggie's death ho was called by a man, said to bo Howard Bailey, to at tend the girl professionally.

How the prisoners were taken from the jail is best told by Jailer Neville's statement, which he gave ns follows: taller Neville's Story. "About half-past 2 or 8 o'clock Saturday morning some one knocked at the gate I got up and opened tho window and asked who was there. Some ono In the crowd said, 'My namo is Black, from Martin's Station, with a prisoner. Corno out nnd take him.' I told them to hold on until I got ready. I' dressed quickly and went out as usual to re ceive a prisoner. In Itushed n Mob. "I unlocked the gate, and as I opened it a mob of masked men rushed in on mo. They demanded the prisoners from Martin's Sta tion and asked mo whero they were. I told them they were In jail. By this time thoy had taken the keys from me, but told mo to go and unlock the doors. I told them I would not, that they must unlock the doors themselves, as they had the keys. Threatened with Death. "The crowd then went to the door of tho Jail, with tho keys unlocked it and. shoved me In the jail ahead of them. As I struck the second jail gate, which is of iron, they , toldrno to take the keys nnd unlock it. I refused tods It, nnd Uion l&y 11fealEuwlVi hoot me, drawing pistols. I told them I could not unlock that gate, and they sent down to the yard for an ax aud said if I d3d not open it they would knock the whole d d thing open and let tho prisoners out. Just before tho crowd got to the gate that leads to the colls and rooms I told them if they were determined to go into the jail to give mo the keys and I would unlock the gate, but askod them not to turn out any of the prisoners except those thoy wanted." Witnesses aud Prisoners Alike Went. "They themselves took the key, unlocked the door, went into the jail and took out first Mitchell Adams, who was charged with the murder of J. J. Hofferman.

Judge Jones nnd Harrison Johnson wero held as witnesses. "We'll Kill Them Illeht Here." "Tho crowd next roped the eight prison ers, brought them down stairs nnd marched them through the principal streets, compel ling me to go with them. Wo got seventy yards across Turkey creek, which is about a quarter of a mile away. They stayed thero some fifteen or twenty minutes, and the crowd asked the prisoners a good many questions. "After talking to the prisoners I heard some ono In the crowd say: 'We'll kill them right hero.' I a6ked the guard who had me In charge to carry me back to the bridge, as I did not want to see the negroes killed. Tho crowd that had mo said I should not go bock. About that time two or three men ran up, caught hold of me and told the guards who had me in charge to carry mo back to tho bridge. Drnny Miots Fired. "Ono man on each side of mo walked mo back, and I, with tho guard, sat thero twenty five or thirty minutes beforo tho crowd left me. About thirty minutes after they wero gone tbey commenced firing, it seemed to mo they kept firing five or six minutes. I imagine 150 shots wero fired in that time. The guard then said, 'Let's go up the road where tho party are firing.' I mounted a horso that a man was leading nnd rode up tho road somo 230 yards beforo tho firing censed. "Wo wont a few steps farther, when we met tho crowd returning to town. Thoy es corted mo bnck to town, and bidding me good night said I could go to bod or go tell the sheriff that they had wound it up. Tho crowd then dispersed." Tho Scene of tho Kxecutlon.
