THE MORNING GUARDIAN

OUR RIGHTS iN HUDSON'S BAY.

Ocnada being about to assert and main-

tain that Hudson’s Bay is a closed sea, the situation is being vigorously diaeusscd hy sundry United States newspapers and in some American magazines. These discussions are of interest as tending to

show what are the weaker paints of our case. The claim of Canada is based on the British rights “to the Bay and Strelghis of Hudson, together with all lands, seas. leaeosete," etc, transferred to the British crown by lraueo in 1813.

The American objection is based upon

the hot that Iiunson`s straits leading to

Hadacn’s Bay are some forty-five miles ln width, and that the water beyond the three miles limit from the Canadian shore

is a part of the “high ses." Also that by the treaty of Washington, 1818, Amari- A can flshermenl were given equal righis with the British on the west coast of

_ THE 0UA*&!>IAl¥. .

Newfoundland and ‘northward lsdelisl te1y.’ Tilly also claim that fm- sixty years past the whale fishers of liew Bedford- Haaa, have narsusd their prey in Bndscn`s Bt-reits and Bay, and are pras-

tleally the only ones who have frequented those waters for that purpose.

The nmatieris also discussed by F. P-

Mcblrath of Newfoundland in the North American Review and the fact is pointed

out that the Government cf` Canada not

long ago sent a steamer iran St. Jchn's with an oiiicer of the N. W. Mounted Police, commissioned as “Governor ef Hu'lson`s Bay and the regions adjacent thereto," and with e detachment of police, with instructions to warn Off Bild If

necessary to expel alleged trespassers. Under these circumstances there is an

easy possibility of the liurison`s Bay

question becoming somewhat acate with- in the not distant fatorc.

We have to thank Editor' Irvin of the

P. E. Island Magazine for a very pretty

ard artistic sohyenlr of the New Year.

TNEATRF FIRE DANGERS

Within a century past there have been

a large number o! fatalities from ilres in theatres, ten of which caused a loss of

Ten years later, in 1846 the Royal Theatre, `Qaehec, was burned by an upset lamp, with a loss of l(Xl. In 1857 the b`nrniog of a theater in Leghorn sacriilced1D0 lives. In 1879 Ccnway's Thestre,Brooklyn was burned with a losso! 297. Five years later in I881 the Thcatre_Municlpal in N ice was burned by a gas explosion with 150 persons, and was eloeely followed by :hc destractien of the King Theatre, Vienna with 450 lives. ln 188'/ a circus dre in

Russian Poland killed |08, In 1887 the Theatre Comlque, from which the Iriquols in Ohleaao was modeled, was consumed with 300llves. Exeter Theatre in Eng- land was burned the same year wlthn loss clH)0 lives, and later a theatre fire in Oportc, Portugal claimed 240 vininxs.

In every ease panic followed npon the

stage scenery taking ire and burning swiftly and furiously. These facts are now preducinga loud call not only for daepreof curtains in front of the stage hut for inccmbnstlble scenery as well. Too commonly some of the exits are fo\v\d te he locked when ilrc breaks out. There cnglit to be police inspection here, as there is in the United Kingdom before every theatrical performance, to see that

allexitsarefrea in oaac a panie should occur.

It is not trequently cf record that a man

is married exactly 100 years after his father took a wife to himself, but that is

what happened in the case of the octogen- arlan Bari of Leicester recently reported ta be on his deathbed. His father was

married in 1775, he (for the second time) in 1875. The aged larl has some other ‘distinctionm He is the [ether of eighteen shildren, fourteen of whom are still llv

ing. There is a difference of almost fifty years between the ages of his oldest daughter and his youngest son. He is great grand father several times over and

also the proud father of e boy of ll years

The Montreal Herald says it is rumored that lion. H. R Emmerson will succeed

\i00 or more lives each. e worst of these occurred in 3" Petersburg In 1836 with a loss of 800 lives.
