THE EEODUs vIvFNDI
referred TO in the presidents latter is in
the shape of a protocol, drawn up by the
British plenipotentiaries It states that
considering the position which will be
created by the immediate commence
ment OF the fishing season before the
treaty can possibly be ratified that the
old conditions which have given rise to
SO much irritation might be revived and
interfere with the unprecedented con J.
sideratiOn of the treaty. Under these
circumstances and with an ANXIOUS desire
to promote good feeling and remove all
subjects of controversy, the British plen-
ipotentiarieSs propose a temporary ar
rangement for a period Of two years.
The privilege of entering the bays and
harbors of the Atlantic coast Of Canada
and Newfoundland will be granted 10
United States fishing vessels by an
nual licenses at a fee of $3.50 per
ton for the purpose of purchasing bait,
ice, seines, iues and other supplies:
trans shipment of the catch and shipping
crews. If during the continuance of the
arrangement the United States should re-
move the duties specified in the treaty
above, Licences will be issued free of
charge. United Strtes vessels entering
and not remaining more than p hours in
harbors will not be required TO enter or
clear, provided they do not communicate
with the shore. Forfeiture to be exacted
only for fishing or preparing to fish in
territorial waters. The American pleni
potentiaries express satisfaction with the
above protocol
