The NewfoundIand Fisheries.

OTTAWA, Ont. July 19.-The correspond
ence respecting the Newfoundland fisheries,
recently published by the imperial authori-
ties, has been received here. The documents
refer principally to the French shore contro-
versy. Hon. MI. Tupper, minister of the
Dominion fisheries, recommends the imperi-
authorities that Canada protests against the
act issued by the Newfoundland legislature
requiring Canadian vessels in need of bait
to take out license, and suggests that New
foundland suspend the operation of the act
so far as 1t affects Canada. A telegram is
published from Lord Knutsford to Lord
Stanley in which the former expresses the
opinion that the Newfoundland bait act Is
not ultra rireS. Evidently he desires Cana
da to secure the redress asked for by direct
representation with Newfoundland.

An Allan Ship in the Ice.

HALIFAX, July 16.-The Allan steamer
Buenos Ayrean, from Greenoek, found the
straits packed with ice, the Belle Isle side
being iammed. She took the Newfoundland
side, and had to slow up and stop altogether
close to numbers of them, some being very
large. Captain Richardson, of the Sardinf-
an, who has been in the st. Lawrence trade
for thirty years, was asked by reporter IL
he could account for the large quantities of
ice this season. He said It was probably
caused by the recent very warm summers in
the north which would break up the ice and
set it loose. He never, in all his experience,
saw such quantities in the Gulf. 1t was not
only nuisance. the captain said, but it was
dangerous. At present there is no time to
be gained by taking the straits, and the Off
GERS Of the steamers taking that route are
having quite an anxious time.
