assembled in Bay sd'Este, at Fortune Bay,
determined to have herring and sell to fisher
men of st. Pierre. A bait cruiser interfered
and tn fishermen resisted Officer Oliphant

LONDON, April 2l.-It is currently report
ed in this city that the conferences which
have taken place between the delegates from
Newfoundland and Lord Salisbury end Lord
Kuutsford. secretary of state for colonial af-
fairs. have been of satisfactory nature to
all concerned, and are leading the way to a
practical, definitive agreement. The New
foundland delegates are understood to have
submitted proposals at the conferences to
the representatives of the British govern
ment which tended greatly to diminish the
state Of tension which has existed in the re-
lations between the colony and the British
government. These proposals, according to
the report, while demanding the total aban-
donment of Lord Knutsford's coercive bill,
show that the delegates realize that as mat
ters stand this can only be done in the event
of the adoption of alternative means OF in
suring the faithful performance Of the obli-
cations existing between France and Eng
land. 1t was found impossible to accede TO
the demand made by the delegates for the
abandonment of the arbitration proposals.
1t Is believed that the differences existing
between Canada and Newfoundland have
been adjusted, and that Canada Is support
ing the policy of Newfoundland in cOnnec-
tion with the much discussed bait question.
