NO SYMPATHY WITH The PatriotlCjAssociation/ PRESENT AGITATION MnM tojisleafl People, CAUSE EXCITEMENT And Embarrass Government. (Special to the " Evening Telegram.") Habbok Grace, Last Night. It is reported here that the meetings now being held here are at the instigation of the "Patriotic Association" for the purpose of embarrassing the Government. We have do sympathy with any such object,, but will unite in Assisting- the Government in every possible way. All classes here have every confidence in Sir William Whiteway and Jus Government, feeling sure that the interests of the colony are quite safe in the hands of the true patriots whom the people have unanimously returned. The tactics of the so-called " Patriotic Association " are too Transparent and Flimsy to deceive the people, as they are trying to do so that they may again get charge of the affairs of this colony. We trust and believe our two members* will solidly support Sir William in the present emergency, and we Dow regret, in view of the action taken by the mercantile association, that we did not return three members to support the Whiteway Party. NATURE OF THE PROTEST Aid tie Resolutions Passed. (Special to the "Evening Telegram."; Channel, Last Evening. At a mass meeting of the inhabitants of Channel and vicinity, held in the Church of England school-rooiu on the evening of the twenty-second of March, to protest against the recent arrangement entered into between Her Majesty's Government and the French, whereby the latter are permitted to erect and opemte lobster, factories on the North and East coasts of the country, while natives of the soil are debarred from like privileges, the following resolutions were, by an enthusiastic vote, unanimously adopted :— Whereas,—For many years past the inhabitants of this portion of the coast of Newfoundland, who have been compelled, in consequence of short fisheries, to leave their homes to prosecute that industry on the North and East coasts of this colony, have, at various times, suffered sorely from indignities perpetrated by the French fishermen who frtqutnt the North and East coasts daring the summer months, whereby they have been compelled to abandon their voyage and return penniless to their homes, and Whereas,—While the fishermen of the Inited States can prosecute the voyage without hindrance or interruption from the French, the unfortunate inhabitants of Newfoundland are prohibited from earning their daily bread on that part of the shore of their native land frequented by the French in the fishing season, and Whereas,—We have recently heard, with feelings of the deepest grief and indignation that, owing to :in arrangement made between Her Majesty's Government and the French, whereby the French receive full permission to erect and operate lobster factories, while natives of the country are debarred from a similar privilege, it is hereby unanimously Resolved,—That this meeting, while asserting their unswerving loyalty to Her Most Gracious Majesty and the British Empire, indignantly protest against this unprecedented invasion of our territorial, maritime and constitutional rights; and be it also Resolved,—That a copy of this, our respectful protest, be immediately published in the dally papers of our land, and a copy forwarded lor presentation to the proper quarter. On behalf of the meeting, (Signed) Aaron Forsev, Sr., Chairman. J. W. Keating, Secretary. Latest by Telegraph. fllfilLJfUli A htlic Meeting Cornell. RESOLUTIONS PASSED, »  (Special to the "Evening Telegram.") A. Mesengre from St. John's. Channel, Last Evening. On Thursday a telegram from St. John's was made public, stating that an invasion of our rights had taken place in re lobster factories on the North and East Coasts of Newfoundland. It fell like a thunder-bolt, and crowds were seen discussing the matter. A requisition to the magistrate was immediately framed and largely signed by our leading people, asking him to convene a public meeting. The request was cheerfully complied with, and on Saturday evening the meeting was largely attended, the magistrate was asked to explain fully all matters relative to our treaty rights, which he did in an able manner. A chairman and secretary were appointed, and resolutions were unanimously carried amidst great applause. • Additional Steam Facilities. Petitions from Channel East to Placentia have been largely signed, asking for Government assistance for a steamer to run from Halifax fortnightly. Doubtless our progressive Government will see the necessity for additional steam communication with the eastern ports and aid us by granting small subsidy. ANOTHER REPORT Of the Channel Meeting (-Special to the v Evening Telegram.") Channel, Last Evening. Saturday's public meeting anent the French Shore question wae poorly attended, most of our promiEent men showing their interest by their absence. Our worthy magistrate tried to impress the people with the idea that he found a serious error in the geographical position of the French boundaries. A chairman and secretary were then proposed. According to appointment resolutions were drawn up prior to the meeting and brought forward. Neither the chairman nor secretary addressed the meeting in any way, nor did one person in the meeting speak during the evening. OLD PLACENTIA Holds a Public Meeting. RESOLUTIONS PROPOSED BY Rev. M. A. Clancy. ♦ (Special to the " Evening Telegram.'") Placentia, This Afternoon. A mass meeting of the citizens of Plactntia was held to-day—Mr. C. S. Fowler, chairman. Rev. M. A. Clancy proposed the following resolution, seconded by Mr. W. H. Siteman :— Whereas, an arrangement has been entered into between the British and French Governments, in reference to the erection of lobster factories on that portion of Newfoundland, so-called the "French Shore," without the knowledge or sanction of the Legislature of this colony ; and Whereas—The said modus vivendi, while being calculated to irretrievably affect the vested rights and interests of Newfoundland, is also in direct opposition to our Magna Cbarta, which was given us in '57 by Her Majesty's Government, and is an unwarrantable invasion of our constitutional rights ; be it therefore Resolved,—That this meeting, publicly convened, do firmly and fearlessly protest against the said modus vivendi, and bind themselves to make every legitimate effort, in unison with the people of the other parts of the Island, to strenuously protect our maritime and territorial rights against the assumptive claim of France. Great enthusiasm prevailed through the assemblage. The speeches were stirring and etern in their denunciation of the modus vivendi. At one time Party politics seemed to clash ; but disorder was suppressed, and the meeting passed off quietly and orderly— Father Clancy movipg a vote of tbanke to the chairman. HEW ADYKRTISEMfiMTS.
