The Newfoundland Fisheries Dispute ne
tween England and Fxarca

tween England and France.
New YORK, June GA special tc
The Tribune from st. Johns, N. f.
says:
The fisheries dispute has been further
complicated by the defiant attitude OF
James Baird, wealthy merchant OF st.
Johns, who owns several lobster factor
les on the shores of st. George, where
the colonists have recently been com.
PEELED to take up their nets. The text
of the modus vivendi agreed upon by
France and Great Britain, declares that
no lobster factories not in operation
last july shall be except by joint consent
of the French and British naval COM
manders.
One of Mr.. Baird's factories, although
built three years ago, was put in opera
tion only short time ago. Mr.. Baird
claims that he should be permitted TO
operate this factory. The British COM
mander has served formal notice on
Mr.. Baird to close the factory, but he
declines to do SO, and says he will spend
his fortune in defending his rights. The
colonial government declines to inter-
fere in his behalf, saying that it is an
imperial question.
Mr.. Baird has instructed the manager
of his factory to continue at work until
he is stopped by actual force. In that
event he will demand compensation
from Great Britain.
1t is believed that the factory owners
have combined to resist the modus vi
vendi. The aspect of affairs Is growing
constantly graver. The French war
ships are lowering closer than ever
around st. Georges bay, and conflict
is almost unavoidable IL the colonists
are interfered with by either England
or France. Much ugly feeling exists
against England.
The colonial premier, Sir William
Whiteway, leaves for London ON the
next steamer.
