THE MoDUs v1vENDI.
The mOdus Uirendi, referred to in the
Presidents letter, isein the shane of
protocol, drawn up by the British
plenipotentiaries. It is tied til It,
considering the posItIon which will be
created by the immediate commence
ment of fishing before the treaty can
possibly be ratified. that the old cordI-
lions which have given rise to so much
irritation, might be revived and inter-
fere with an unprejudiced cousldera-
tion OF the treaty. Under these cir
cumstances and with anxious desire
to promote good feeling and
remove sill subjects of contro-
versy, the British plenipotentisrit
propose temporary arrangement for
q period not exceeding two years, that
the privilege of entering the bays |
and tarboIs OF the Atlantic |
ssast of Canada and Newfoundland |
be granted TO the United States fishing |
vessels, by annual licenses, at fee Of |
$3.50 per ton, for the purpose of pur
chasing bait, ice, stems, lines and other |
supplies, transhipment of catch and |
shipping crews. If, during the contin-
uaDce of the arransement, the United |
States should remove duties specified in |
tbs treaty. above, licenses will be |
issued free OF charge. United |
States hshlng vessels entering
and not remaining more than twenty |
four hours in the harbors, are not to be |
required to enter or clear, providing
they do not communicate with the
shore. Forfeiture is TO be exacted only
fer fishing or preparing to fish in terri
torial waters. The American pie aipo-
tentaries express satisfaction with the
above protocol.
