NEWFOUNDLAND FISHERIES.

Press Association. —Copyright. London, July 8,

Reuter states that negotiations between Britain and the United States respecting a modus vivendi for the winter herring fisheries has reached a deadlock owing to Britain’s inability to enforce a suggested clause preventing Newfoundland serving legal processes on American vessels. Newfoundland refuses to agree to the clause and the British Government must obtain the approval of the Imperial Parliament before being able to enforce its prohibition over the veto of the colony.
