gov "Sim -"" A 1 mm-mw builders) Treparing to Hold an Important Convention to Secure the ABROGATION OF THE TREATY OF '17 And Keach Out For Contracts to Build Late War Vessels. CANADA PREPARED FOK EMERGENCIES Deteoit, Jan. 2a A movement is on foot to gather in convention all the ship builders and iron and steel men of the Northwest at some one of the great lake ports m order to urge upon Congress the complete abrogation of the 1817 treaty with Great Britain. Mr. "VV. McVitie, Secretary cf the Detroit Dry Dock Company of Detroit, Mich., has placed himself in com munication with representative men of every port on the great lakes lying between Bufialo on the east and Duluth on the wet, and arrangements are now so far com pleted that every shipbuilding plant on the lakes will send representatives to the con vection. In addition, iron and steel men all through the Northwest whose interests touch those of the shipbuilding plants will be in attendance, -with the result, it is cal culated, ot the entire Northwest interest being represented. The place and date of the convention has been lett to the Detroit Dry Dock Com pany. Mr. McVitie states that without ex ception every shipbuilder and iron and steel man with whom he has been in com munication is not only anxious for the con vention, but is enthusiastic over the idea. Want a Share of theSfaval Tork. A correspondent who recently made a visit to the majority of the principal ship building plants along the great lakes, every where observed a marked unity of action among the men of the Xorthwest. Unques tionably the success of the shipbuild ing interests along the lakes is due to this cohesiveness in action. The shipbuilding plants along the lakes of the Northwest exceed in cosabined capabilities, in magnitude and in capital, the interests of all other shipbuilding plants in the United States combined. The lake men are deter mined to share in the building of the new raw of this country. In the opinion of the lake shipbuilders the treaty of 1817 has heretofore served to enhance the interests of a few shipbuilders along the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards, and has discrimi nated acainst the real shipbuilding inter ests of the country engaging in Government work. The Solicitor of the Treasury has ruled within a few davs that the treaty of 1817 with Great Britain, limiting the naval arma ments to be maintained on the laics, does not exit. The Solicitor declares that, ac cording to the Revised Statutes of the United States, the treaty of 1817 was abro gated by Congress on February 9, 1865, and that the statutes do not show that the treaty was again enforced bv act of Congress, and this despite the agreement made by Secre tary of State Seward with the British For eign Minister, mutually ruling the treaty in force. 1V111 Question Oar Statesmanship. The lake men in the convention soon to be held will devise means whereby they can learn definitely if a Secretary ot State has the right to declare in force a treaty which has been abrogated by a formal act of Congress, and has not by that same body been again declared in force. Once the lake men learn that the treaty is not in force, as has been ruled by the Solicitor of the Treasury, they will then take steps to bid on all warship work that may hereafter be advertised by the Navy Department. becretary iracy is heartily in sympathy with the men of the Northwest. He real ires that the great lakes represent in their shipbuilding plants the really great ship buildinc interests of the United States. Secretary Tracy is anxious that the lake plants shall engage in war-ship work, and with this knowledge in the possession ot the lake men. the coming convention will endeavor to solve in short order the exact status of the treaty of 1817. If the treaty exists despite the ruling of the Solicitor of the Treasury, the lake men will demand of Congress that the treaty be at once abro gated. Thev will base their demand on the ground of the defenseless condition of the wealthy cities along the shores of the lakes, cities like Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit, Bay City, Toledo, Cleveland, Erie, Buflalo, Oswego, Ogdensburg, Duluth, South Chi cago and others, all-of which are exposed to the attack of hostile British gunboats. The lake men will demand that their homes and cities be afforded some adequate and tangi ble means of defense, defense which they assert cannot be afforded by garrisoned camps pitched in the vicinity of the various cities. Canada Prepared Tor TTar. It is known that the British have a fleet of over 100 war vessels able to enter the great lakes through fhe canals. To oppose this lorce the United States possesses in the old and worn-out Michigan the only-war esselon the Northwest lakes. Further more, it is known that five Canadian steam ers, each one having a speed of not less than 13 knots an hour, and all fitted with gun tracks covered over with light flooring, are at present practically ready for active service, inese vessels are now engaged in the pas'enger trade on Lake Ontario. Their guns, all modern breech-loading pieces, are conveniently stored at a point near the mouth of the "Welland Can at Inside of 36 hours after orders were issued these five vessels would not only be fitted out'as war ships, but hate passed through the "Welland Canal into Lake Erie. Once in Lake Erie these ships alone would be sufficient to de stroy every city along the great lakes, and the United States would have no means to prevent it. To fit out merchant steamers as war ves sels requires time To fit out the majority ot the present type of lake steamers as ves sels of var will require precious time. The mischief would be done before the British guuboats could be encountered and an invas ion of Canada would not suffice to distract the attention of the latter craft. The lake men know all these ficts. Thev will demand that the lakes be furnished not only a fleet for protection of the cities on the Northern frontier, but show at thesame time how national benefits will result by the development of the lake shipyards as warship plants. ISrprevnl Immense Interests. As before stated, the lake ship builders represent the greatest combined interests in the United States. Cleveland and the coun try about contains, perhaps, no less than 5,000 men engaged directly or indirectly in the commercial interests on the lakes; De troit, no less than 10,000; Toledo, 5,000; Buflalo, 20.000: Erie 8,000; Bay Citv, Mich., 3,000; Saginaw, S.000, Milwaukee 15,000; Chicago, o0,000; South Chicago. 10,000; Wyandotte, 8,000. Duluth, 15,000 and other lake sections combined, 100,000. These numbers can be supplemented, perhaps, by at least 250,000 men in the Ohio and Missis sippi Valleys directly in touch with the im ,meuse iron and steel aud ship nlants on the lakes. The great iron ore mines of Lake Superior, the mines of Michigan the coal mines, the iron and steel work's of the extreme w estcrn part of Pennsylvania the great tool making establishments in Ohio, the snip building and iron plants along the Ohio and Mississippi rivers all touch and connect with the interests of the Northwest, and all are practically under the control ot the lake ports. It is this great section of the United States which is now waking up at the word of the men of ihe Northwest, and it is this immense in fluence which will go in solid support of the Northwest interests. Hail road men are all affected by the demands of the lake ports and the commerce of the lakes, represent, ins nearly ?1 00,000,000, is controlled br the lake shipbuilders. LITIGATION OVEE'A DOLLAR. A. Weighty Question of La.tr That Shippers Want Decided. An interesting suit is pending before Alderman P. B. Ecilly, for, though the amount directly involved is but 51, the matter is one that has been the subject of deliberation in all the crain and produce exchanges in the country, and the principle involved reaches to every avenue of trade. George 31. Cote, an East End lum berman, had a carload of lumber consigned to him and was notified, by the Pennsylvania Bailroad Company to have it unloaded w ithin 48 hours after arrival, ac cording to the regulation in such cases, or pay demurrage. It is stated that the car arrived at 7 o'clock A. M. Mr. Cote says he got a postal card at 3 r. m. of the same day aud had the car unloaded within 48 hours of the time he got the notification, and so it was his turn to demur. The company was inflexible and insisted on the paj meht of a dollar, but Mr. Cote, imbued with the spirit of that American statesman who was willing to contribute millions for defense, but nary a cent for tribute, paid the dollar under protest and then sought Attorney J. A. "Wakefield and engaged him to bring suit to reclaim it The attorney holds that unless the obligations ot carrier and consignee are reciprocal, demurrage can only be collected in cases where consignees are negligent. He contends that there is just as much law for holding a carrying compauy responsible for a delay of a few hours in the transmis sion of freight as there is to hold a consignee for a similar delay. Mr. Cote says he 'pro poses to have the law on the subject tested, even if it becomes necessary to go to the Su preme Court. The Court "will announce its decision on Monday.
