THE TROUBLE in NEWFOUNDLAND.

The following extract from the st. Johns Eewfound
land) Commercial Journal of the 9Th of March states
specifically the of the trouble that place which
was alluded to several days ago in of our tesgraphc
dispatches
The country was startled by the astounding inte-
gence brought by the February mail that the Imperial
government had entered into convention with France
In which 1t had agreed to transfer that Power the
uable privileges of the fisheries of Newfoundland the
result of which must be- if that convention be carried
into effect, to deprive, at single blow this ancient
and truly loyal colony of its natural and sacred
rights, and to the tie which has hitherto bound
to the parent State.
The official announcement of these most fearful It'd
ngs was received with one universal feeling of alar
establishment and ndignation-one fixed and firm re-
Ubiquitous acts the part of any Government towards
one of its dependencies which has left stain mark
on the page of history
The Legislature and the Press took up the question
In an earnest and determined spirit all shades of opp-

Stduces WOulu auIult oI
Mr. TRIMBLE of Kentucky, referred to the danger of
leaving the country in undivided possession If Great Br
tain for the fourteen years the treaty with that country
had to At the end Of that time if held part
it would be hers by the right of possession.
ssWhst up Mr.. 7. begged leave to return his thanks
to the gentleman from Virginia, Mr.. FLOYD who had
long and with much assduty labored collect and
present facts for the information and guidance of the
House in matter of great national importance and
which he had at successive sessions brought forward
On the 2lst December 1924 the subject was further
considered. Mr.. TAYLOR of New York, opposed to
the clause proposing Territorial government
and moved to strike it He thought Territorial
would be wanted the river Oregon for
many years come and would be attended at present
only with unnecessary expense
Mr.. sMYTH, of Virginia, paid compliment to the in
dustry and devotion of his colleague the subject He
was in favor of more extended occupation than that
proposed.
The chief question said Mr. S. to be settled by the
House whether the plan of his colleague establish
Territorial government should be adopted, whether
should only far the President had suggested
in HRS message, by establishing military post on the
river This question concerning Territorial govern
ment depended on another of greater moment whether
we contemplated the eventual establishment of State
government there? And this again was involved in
question of still greater extent and Importance viz
where shall the limits of the United States be fixed He
did the limits of her of her authority
but where the limits of the Confeieracy to be fixed p?
Mr. SMrTH argued to show the danger of great an
extension and thought that whilst the whole region of
the Mississippi might be bound by interest to the ATTAIN
tic States if this Union extended so as to include
Mexico it would dissolve before tomorrow There was
no tie to bind US together.
The motion to strike out the section relating to Ter
ritorial government prevailed.
u further discussion Mr. FLoYD replied to the srgu-
