Brayley, one of the foremost fish merchants in Newfoundland, recently visited Montreal, Canada, it is said, on a secret mission in connection with the Islanders' troubles. In an interview he said that many of the people express themselves as strongly in favor of an nexation j.to the United States if there is not a satisfactory settle ment of the question which is now causing so much anxiety on the island. They argue that if there is to be any change of allegiance at all it is better to unite with the U.iited States, which they believe will protect their interests and at the same time they cain a market of lixty millions of people for what they can produce, while if they joined with Canada their gain would be a market of only six millions of people.
