Modus Niyendi,

DenOuncing Ensland's Attempt to Coerce
Newfoundland Into Carrying Out the
MOdus yivendi.
BosroN, MASS, March 23.-The
Hew'ds Halifax special says: Great
excitement exists in Newfoundland
over the action Of the Imperial govern
ment in referring only one feature of
the fisheries troubles with France to
arbitration, and the attempted passage
of an act through the British Parlia-
ment to coercc Newfoundland into
carrying out the modus vivendi.
Dispatches were submitted to the legis-
lature Saturday which show that though
the British government determimined
months ago to introduce IL coercion law
into parliament and privately notify
Governor OBrien to that effect. They
instructed him not to inform the New
foundland government of this intention
until the bill was formally introduced
in the house of lords. The knowledge
of this fact has set the people wild. In
the legislature party lines have been OBJ
liberated and the most violent speeches
have been made by men on both sides
Of the house, denouncing "the cowardly
and treacherous conduct of the British
government"
WILL ASK PROTECTION OF THIS couN-
TRY.
Delegates will no doubt be appointed
TO Immediately proceed to London to
formally protest not only against the
enactment of the coercion law, but also
against the reference of any portion of
the fisheries question to arbitration
without the whole question is SO re-
ferred. The delegates, however, do not
expect to accomplish anything, and in
this event the legislature will pass reso-
buttons setting forth that by the neglect
and ill-treatment of century England
has forfeited all claims to further all
allegiance, A former appeal will then
be made TO the United States for protec-
ton and for admission as state of the
republic.
