FISKKKIES DEBATE.
The Canadian Commons Again
Takes Up the Absorbing Subject.
A Number of Cases of Harsh Treatment
to American Vessels Reported.
Ottaxva, Ont., May 2. —A brief discus
sion on the fisheries question took place in
the House of Commons to-night. Ellis,
New Brunswick member, asked for a re
turn of all U. S. vessels boarded, warned
or interdicted by the Canadian fisheries
protection fleet. He recited a number of
cases of reported harsh treatment of
American vessels by Canadian officers,
and said that already 120 complaints had
been filed at Washington. Thompson, Min
ister of Justice, said Ellis was too flatter
ing when he termed ihe American reports
of ill-treatment evidence. The particulars
Ellis had given were selections from a
number of rambling, inaccurate state
ments made against the British and Colo
nial authorities by persons who received
a general invitation to send in all the
claims they could possibly bring against
the Nation, which, it was supposed,
would in the end have to pay a bill of dam
ages. It transpired, not only from the in
vestigation of these complaints, but sub
sequently by admissions of some of tho
persons who have made these unve
racious statements that they were
utterly without foundation; were reck
less, xvere oftentimes based on misap
prehensions aud want of knowledge of cir
cumstances. When tho papers were
brought down it ivould be found that tho
statement of the distinguished member of
the government of the United States that
the Canadian fisheries laws and regula
tions had been administered with brutality
was as preposterous an exaggeration as
could be found in the English language.
[Loud applause.] Foster, Minister of
Fisheries, declined to bring down the in
structions to the protective fleet, on tho
ground that it would be detrimental to the
proper carrying of them out, and might
hamper negotiations in progress.

STEAMER BURNED.
4n KxclfiiiK and Thrilling Expe> irnm of a
Crow !n KHcaping from a Horrible Death.
Chicago, May 3.—A special from Sheboy
gan, Wis., says: The steamer B. P. Heath,
loaded with hay, caught fire forward yes
terday afternoon, when off this port and
about five miles out in the lake. Tho
crew began at once to battle with tho
flames. The boat could nut be headed in
as the furious westerly gale that was rag
ing would have caused the fires to spread
throughout the steamer. The Heath
was finally turned toward Centerville
Point, and when near that place the crew
endeavored to make a landing at the pier,
but the swift current carried the burning
steamer north of the landing. She struck
the beach about thirty yards from shore.
The mate and second engineer entered the
small boat, but it swamped, and before tho
occupants could bale out the water, tho
painter parted and it drifted a few miles
north where the men landed. The people
on shore formed a volunteer crew, and
went out to rescue tho remainder of
those aboard. After getting alongside,' a
line was connected ivith the steamer, but
was burned away. The current carried
the rescuing party away. Those on shore,
seeing the fate of the second boat, sent out
a third one, xvhich rescued the captain and
steward. The wheelsman, George Olson,
and First Engineer Rodgers refused to
enter, for fear of swamping. After
the sail - boat reached the pier, tho
last effort to reach the barge was mado
but before the boat made one-half the
distance the flames compelled the men on
the steamer to jump overboard. Engineer
Rogers was the first to make the leap, and
after u hard struggle against the current
and undertow he reached the beach exhaus
ted. George Olson was evidently stunned
as he appeared to be unable to make any
headway toward the shore. Ernst Tiesmer,
a young farmer, seeing the peril of tho
wheelsman, plunged into the waves, and
soon reached the drowning man. He suc
ceeded in carrying his burden about fifty
feet, when he was compelled to let go and
swim for his life. The mate and second
engineer attached a line to their bodies
and reached Olson, and with great diffi
culty brought him ashore. He was dead.
The steamer is a total loss. Bhe was val
ued at S6,(XXI and the cargo at S6OO.
NEW GYPSY QUEEN.

Leprosy in Louisiana.
New Orleans, May 3.—An alarming ro

VOL. IV.—NO. 11.
PROGRESS AT WALTHAM.
The American Watch Company seem
determined to maintain the proud po
sition they have long occupied among
manufacturers of pocket timepieces.
During an interview the otherday with
a representative of Robbins & Apple
ton, he said: “Wo have a number of
novelties that ought to be worthy of
your atteniion, and in fact of the trade
in general. During the year 1886, we
have had a steadily-increasing demand
for our better class of goods. This is ow
ing to the very great improvements
w hich have therein been accomplished.
For instance, all the watches fitted with
our patent Breguet hair-spring have
met with special favor, because of the
great amount of extra quality which
this hair-spring imparts to the goods.
The company seem to have pursued
the policy of not increasing the quan
tity of their lowest-priced goods, but
rather of putting the better aud
medium grades at figures which
bring them within the reach of
a very limited purse, and en
able dealers with very limited
capital to lay in an assorted stock of
good-quality goods of groat popularity.
The Bartlett watch may be taken as an
example. Here is a movement equipped
with all that can possibly be put into a
watch to make it a thorough time
keeper, and its price is fabulously low.
An English watchmaker recently took
one of these Bartlett movements of the
new model, examined it carefully, and
quietly put it together with the remark:
‘This movement is worth £9.’ Yet it
is sold for nearly as many dollars.
“We have turned out some very fine
work in the way of beautifying the ap
pearance of the watch, both in nickel
frosting and raying, which never had
been done before. These processes
permit an almost endless variety of de
signs and patterns which adapt them
selves beautifully to the shape of the
watch-plate.
“The chief novelty with which the
company start out this year is their one
size watch—the smallest and thinnest,
as well as the finest, ladies’ watch ever
made in this country. The diameter of
its dial is just tlie size of a half-dollar
piece. The train is made of gold; the
jewel-settings likewise; and the jewels
themselves are faultless rubies of tho
darkest color. The watch is thorough
ly adjusted, and capable of the very
finest time-keeping. Its price is very
moderate—indeed, considering the ex
tra line quality and superior finish, it is
wonderfully low.
luiiiuvu ’ • ■#, »++ T n
watch is so constructed as to show bv
means of a diminutive dial-bit and
special hand the minutes during which
the long fifth-second hand revolves.”
Here my informant exhibited tlie oper
ation of the chronograph. The long
fifth-second hand and the small special
hand are normnlly stationary at 12, or
zero. By pressing the stem, both hands
are started, the small hand recording
successive minutes up to fifteen. At
any moment both hands may be
stopped, and another motion sends
them back to zero. “This device is
especially useful to sportsmen, scien
tists, physicians, engineers, machinists,
etc. The same attachment is applied
to the Waltham split-seconds chrono
graph, making it the most durable
watch of the kind, inasmuch as the
mechanism is very simple and almost
indestructible. The Waltham chrono
graph is made in the first place to be
an accurate, time-keeper, built on tiie
model of the company’s finest 14-size
watch. On top of this movement, and
without complicating it, the chrono
graph attachment is fastened, thus
clearly exposing to view the entire
chronograph apparatus. The plainest
country watchmaker can take the at
tachment apart and set it together
again without trouble. A Swiss watch
maker recently remarked that nobody
would have dreamed ten years ago that
the Americans would ever be able to
make any so-called complicated time
keepers, and tlfkt they really do not
make them; but they obtained watches
that had the most exact and minute time
keeping on a much simpler construct
ion. As a consequence, the American
watch is more reliable, less costly to pro
duce, and certainly without expense to
keep in thorough-going older.
“The company have added several
grades of six-size w r atches to their list,
which they will be able to put on the
market in the neighborhood of March
1. This will make eight different qual
ities of six-size movements, which,
with the various cases—hunting and
open-face, gold, silver and aluminine
with an almost endless variety of
ladies’ watches, afford a range of choice
from the cheapest limit at w hich a gold
watch may be expected to the diamond
studded watch for the millionaire’s wife.
During the year 1886 we have added
two new grades of sixteen-size watches,
which really make that part of the as
sortment a surprising one. Sixteen
size watches of the Waltham pattern
have always been considered a very
dear watch to make; but it seems that
the increase in the product has enabled
the company to amplify the line by the
addition of the Riverside grades. The
most satisfactory line of our goods is
that of the patent dust-proof silver
open-face eases, which are the most
popular of tiie kind. For stiength, sim
plicity of construction and durability
these’eases stand unexcelled, and even
unapproached.
“Our daily product now is 1,250
watches, and in ease the demand
should warrant it the output could
easily be increased at comparatively
short notice ” — St, Louis Jeweler.
