NEWFOUNDLAND FISHERIES
QUESTION OF AMERICAN RIGHTS PROTECTED UNDER OLD TREATY. Received 11th, 0.15 a.m. London, December 10. A Blue-book sliows the lion. Klihu Root was emphatic with regard to Newfoundland not being entitled to interfere with American fishing lights, because the treaty of ISIS granted Americans a perpetual right which was beyond the sovereign right of England to destroy or change. lie inferred from Lord Salisbury's statement ,j'n 1880 that American fisheries were only subject to such municipal legislation as existed in 1818. A vivendi for the season followed, as Sir E. Grey foresaw difficulty in negotiations owing to the wide divergence in the views held by Newfoundland, who strongly protested against the Imperial Government suspending the Colonial Act, considering the latter was adopted after consultation with the Home Government.
The Times urges that the Blue-book again exemplifies the absence of machinery for proper consultation between the Motherland and a colony.
